WRONG. A discussion was started when this pastor (white) said he had no
problems with his daughter dating and marrying one of these children,
provided, of course, that the young man is filled with the Holy Ghost and
living for God. I based my comment on the power of adoption, We take on
Jesus Christ, or become like Christ. Hence, we are of his race (G-race?).

Sorry to bring it up, but I think we should talk about it. It is a real
issue that must be addressed in some areas if we are to break down the
barriers between races. I don't believe I will go to heaven if I do not
love ALL of God's children. I want to go to heaven.

God Bless You,
