1 | Christ and war | Is 9:6 | EdB | 107214 | ||
Kalos Ah! I did use the term "character" also. When Character is missing inequality reigns and other means must be used to restore wisdom. Secondly don't tell me you have fallen for the revisionist rewrite of history. The Civil war was not fought over slavery. It was fought over "states rights" (which were lost by the way). Abraham Lincoln himself said do not mistakenly assume this war is being fought over slavery. EdB |

The civil rights movement, with Mr. King, is a perfect example of the Gospel and political protest working together for good. |

Was it? While it accomplished much is what has been accomplished God's highest and best? Has the problems been solved or has it been disguised and made more pervasive? Have the results been perfect? Would the changes we have seen taken place and even more if Christians had lived life as instructed, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Did it awaken social conscience or did it make the situation so visible we could no longer ignore it? Has racial discrimination been dealt with or has laws been made that merely silence them? I know many ethics that live with racial prejudices everyday they are not as visible as being made to sit in the back of the bus but they are just as real. EdB |

I agree with you--- what is really required is Christ's transformation of every conscience. But let us also remember how many Christians thrwarted equality. The protests served to spark debates around many kitchen tables, I am sure. No justice system will shape people's hearts, but it does help limit the damage. As Christians, I believe we need to be vocal about the issues of our day. May justice roll like a might river. |
