interracial marriages

WOW!!!! What a can of worms has been opened here today.
I was raised white for white and black for black, but it always confused
me cause I didn't see anyone hollerin about chinese and white, and so on.
I felt that way till I realized  that Love is patient, Love is kind but
it is also blind. 

One man at my church told us that he gives to the needy and folks that
need help. I thought "Hey, that's great" then I found out shortly after,
from a co-worker of his, that he is always complaining about the blacks
and the welfare people that come through his place of employment. Put a
big fat  Mr. Yuck sticker on that one honey, Cause that attitude & spirit
is poisonous.  

I agree with what Bro. Troy wrote and I think he hit it right on, It has
compounded over the years by teachings that may not be fully correct. I
firmly believe that every person has the right to choose their mate for
life, I don't feel like I have neccessarily added 
a great deal to this topic but allow me to end in the following. 

Remember Peter's vision, (not quoting this) of a sheet being let down
from heaven, full of "unclean" beasts, Christ told Peter to Arise, Kill &
Eat, Peter  then told God that he had never eaten anything unclean,then
God said, "What I have cleansed call thou not unclean." 

Bro. Litteral wrote about only 2 "kinds",........ "Christian & Sinner" ,
as christians we have been cleaned, I feel that is more important than
color or heritage. After all, Would a mostly Irish Man (me) ever marry a
mostly German woman (my wife)???????? 

I used to have a shirt that said the following:

Love See No Color.


God Bless You,
