you could be one too...

the only thing i understand is...you must be completly black(your father black,your mother black)

their is no such thing as white or halfcast jew(excempt is the albinos of father black,mother black(this is esau))....

as soon as you have a drop of blood of white-people in you,you are not israelite no more.....until you become pure again....

the rule is.......you need 3 generations(300 years) to become completly white....geneticaly....
and you need 6 generations(600 years) to become completly black.....geneticaly....
You are talking trash. jews are a singe ethinc and cultural people. all jews are not reconginzed by God as Abraham's seed. so many jews in the past and present are not genetically jews but culturaly and religeous jews. if you read your bible well you will understand that many people become jews(culturally and religeous jews) after God used Esther and mordecai to deliver the chideren of isreal from herman.

note also that all isrealites are not jews but all true jews (genetically) are isrealities.
after the seperation of isreal into two kingdom .the Northern kingdom known as isreal .with capital at Samaria. made up of 10tribes and the Southern kingdom known as Judea. made up of the Tribes of Judah,and Benjamin and later Levi.

so you.see the tribe are racial alike not black and whites.

scripture. The first is in Esther 8:17 it states the
following, "And many people of other
nationalities became Jews because fear of the
Jews had seized them."

Stop day dreaming igbos have to fullfill all the prophecies God made to Abraham for them to be proved as the lost tribe of isreal.
I came across this article . whats your take on it?
It's time for you to get your eyes in the Bible; time
to read and just believe, as a child would do, the
prophecies of the book of Genesis, and in so
doing you will come to KNOW who Britain and
the America ARE, and where you can find them
mentioned over and over again in the books of
the prophets of old. Genesis 12"1-3. Abraham is
told God will make him a GREAT nation and
people will be blessed by him. Genesis 15:5.
Abraham's seed would be as numerous as the
stars. The Jews have never in all history been as
numerous as the stars. Genesis 17:3-6.
Abraham's seed was to be exceedingly fruitful and
NATIONS (PLURAL) and KINGS (plural) were to
come from Abraham. Genesis 17:15-16. Sarah,
Abraham's wife shall have NATIONS (plural) and
KINGS (plural) of people come from her. The Jews
can hardly fit this prophecy. Genesis 22:15-18.
Abraham's seed were to be as many as the stars
and like the sand on the sea shore, and posses
the gates of their enemies. The Jews cannot in all
their history have fulfilled this prophecy. There's
not been enough of them, and what gates of
enemies have the Jews possed? Genesis
25:29-43. Esau sells his BIRTHRIGHT -to Jacob,
that which comes automatically by birth and
nothing else, just because you are born means
you have the birthright. Genesis 32:22-30. Jacob
wrestles with God and lives. Genesis 35:9-11.
Jacob has his name changed to "Israel" - he is
now BOTH Jacob and Israel. NOTICE THE PROMISE
OF THE BIRTHRIGHT NOW: "And God said unto
him, I AM GOD ALMIGHTY: BE FRUITFUL AND
MULTIPLY: a NATION and a COMPANY OF
NATIONS shall be of thee, and KINGS (plural) shall
come from thy loins." Out from the very seed of
Jacob, by being born from him down through the
generations of his descendants, would eventually
arise a NATION and a COMPANY OF NATIONS!
They would all be BROTHER peoples! Now ask
yourself, in all of history WHERE has there been a
NATION and a COMPANY of NATIONS? Never has
there been in all history a people answering to
this prophecy except in the last 200 years. It
should not be hard to figure, easy as being a little
child in understanding. It's so easy, MOST PhD
guys and gals in theology CANNOT see it, their
complicated brain cannot see such SIMPLE verses
of the Bible. You are living in the time when THIS
PROPHECY is being FULFILLED right before your
eyes, in your lifetime. The NATION and COMPANY
OF NATIONS - BROTHER PEOPLES, ARE THE
BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AND THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA!! There has never been a
peoples that have literally come OUT OF EACH
OTHER, as the USA nation CAME OUT OF the
British Commonwealth of nations, and hence as
brother peoples formed the NATION and
COMPANY OF NATIONS, as promised would
happen to the seed of Jacob!! Genesis 48:1-19.
Joseph comes to his father with his two sons,
Manasseh and Ephraim. The BIRTHRIGHT WILL BE
PASSED ON! But Joseph crosses his hands and
lays his right hand on the head of Ephraim and
his left hand on the head of Manasseh. Joseph
objects but Jacob says this it the way it must be.
Joseph says his name will be ON THEM - they will
have the name "Israel" more than anyone else.
Joseph wants Jacob to give the larger blessing to
Manasseh as he was the firstborn. Jacob refuses
and says, "I know it, my son, I know it: he shall
become a people, and he also shall be great: but
truly his younger brother shall be greater than he,
and his seed shall become a multitude of
nations." How simple, a child can understand it,
oh the wise and proud may not, but those who
will become a child in understanding and belief,
they can understand. The very seed of Manasseh
and Ephraim have become a NATION and a
MULTITUDE OF NATIONS, as BROTHER PEOPLES,
they became the BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AND
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! Genesis 49.
The blessings on each of the sons of Jacob is
given. The BIRTHRIGHT WAS JOSEPH'S (see 1
Chron.5:2). Note verses 22-26: "Joseph is a
fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well;
whose branches run over the wall .... Even by the
God of the Father, who shall help thee; and by the
Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of
heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies
under, blessings of the breast, and of the womb
... they shall be on the head of Joseph and on the
crown of the head of him that was separated from
his brethren." These blessing were repeated for
Joseph by MOSES in Deuteronomy 33:13-17.
Read it friends! There it is! There you have it!
Simple to read and simple to believe. This
prophecy for Jacob/ Joseph/Ephraim/Manasseh
HAS COME TO PASS. YOU ARE LIVING IN THE
DAYS, RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES, THAT THIS
PROMISE IS BEING FULFILLED IN THE BROTHER
PEOPLES OF THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AND
THE USA. The British Commonwealth has become
the GREATEST company of nations that history
ever recorded. In its LONG history it has surely
been GREATER than that of its brother, the USA,
but the USA has become the GREATEST single
nation to ever appear on this earth. Between the
TWO BROTHER PEOPLES there has NEVER BEEN
THE LIKE in all history - the most POWERFUL
PEOPLES and the most PHYSICALLY WEALTHY
peoples of all history. THE BRITISH
COMMONWEALTH AND THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA IS JOSEPH, THEY ARE ISRAEL!! When you
read in the Old Testament prophets the
prophecies towards the HOUSE OF ISRAEL you are
reading the future of the British Commonwealth
and the United States. When you read the OT
prophets concerning the HOUSE OF JUDAH you
are reading the future of the JEWS, in the Holy
Land and everywhere else. It does not matter
HOW this all came about (but today even that can
be known from such Websites as britam.org) -
God KNOWS and it is He who brought it all to
pass. If He can know the number of hairs on your
head; if He can INSPIRE the Bible and have it
PRESERVED; if He can raise Christ from the dead;
if He can uphold the UNIVERSE with His power,
then HE CAN GUIDE AND PROTECT AND SEE TO IT
THAT THE VERY PHYSICAL SEED OF JOSEPH MOVED
ALONG DOWN THROUGH THE AGES, TO BECOME
IN THE LAST AGE, THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH
AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! AMERICA IS
MENTIONED IN BIBLE PROPHECY - THE BRITISH
COMMONWEALTH IS MENTIONED IN BIBLE

Trump said another fantastically amazing thing, telling the Blacks to stop whining about the Oscars, telling them they have their own awards on BET. This is basically an endorsement of racial segregation. The thing is, most Blacks would hear this and be like “yeh, yeh – he got a point der.” Typical Blacks just want to live in their own neighborhoods, have sex, sell drugs and kill one another. SJW Blacks are rare, and mostly female. The problem is that you can get Blacks to believe anything, and they do naturally hate White people, as all races naturally hate all other races (except Whites, who are prone to ethnomasochism). The Jews are able to get them to do whatever they want them to do.
this guy is on point.

Christianity Etc › Re: Does God's Grace Blot Out The Law? by blueAgent(op): 9:54pm On Jan 21, 2016
exposes that lack. Only when love is motivating the obedience does it become acceptable to God. Any other work is man’s vain attempt to earn salvation and to deny the efficacy of Christ’s atoning sacrifice. Ransomed for What? A dramatic illustration of the law-grace doctrine is seen in the story of the slave auctions in old New Orleans long ago. Two planters were bidding for an old Negro slave who kept shouting his rebellion from the auction block. Finally, one of the planters won the bid and took the slave in his wagon back to the farm. Throughout the journey the defiant black man declared that he would not work for the new owner. When they arrived at the plantation, the planter dropped the shackles from the newly bought slave and said, “You are free to go. You are no longer a slave. I bought you in order to give you your liberty.” According to the story, the old man fell at the feet of the planter and said, “Master, I’ll serve you forever.” In like manner, we were all held in the bondage of sin, condemnation, and death. Christ then paid the price to secure our freedom from that hopeless slavery. Lovingly He tells us that the reason He made the sacrifice was to set us free. What should our response be? Every ransomed child of God should fall at His feet and say, “Master, I love you for what you did for me. I’ll serve you the rest of my life.” Think it through for a moment. Jesus had to die because the law had been broken. Sin demanded death. If the law could have been abrogated, the penalty of sin would have been set aside also. “For where no law is, there is no transgression” (Romans 4:15). So strong was the authority of that unchangeable law that God Himself could not abolish it—not even to save His own Son from death. The old, old story of the two brothers is almost a perfect illustration of both law and grace in operation. The older brother was a judge. His younger brother was brought before him as a transgressor of the law. From all the evidence it was clear to all thathe was guilty. The court was tense. Would the judge mete out justice in such a case? The judge looked at his brother and sternly declared him guilty. Then he stunned the court by imposing the maximum fine. But immediately he left the bench and threw his arms around his brother and said, “I had to do it because you are guilty. I know you cannot pay the fine, but I will pay it for you.” The point of the story is dramatic in its impact. The brother was forgiven, but the penalty was not. It had to be paid. But by paying the maximum penalty, the judge not only did not abolish the law, but he greatly magnified it. He demonstrated that its binding claims could never be voided. In the same sense, God would not and could not abolish the law to save His beloved Son. It cost something to uphold the law and pay the maximum penalty. No one will ever know how much it cost the Son of God. But how thankful we should be that His love was as perfect as His justice. In His own body He bore the penalty, satisfied the law, and justified the transgressor. Can’t you see that no greater demonstration could have been made to prove the permanence of the Ten Commandments? In the entire universe God could not have displayed a more convincing and irrefutable argument in favor of His law. Yet, in the face of this tremendous exhibition, misguided millions of poor, feeble men belittle the government of God by belittling His law. They seem not to understand that the law is only a reflection of His holiness and righteousness. To speak of its abolition is to border on treason against the divine government of heaven. Look into that holy law right now for a divine revelation of what God wants your life to be. Confess that you have no strength to live up to that perfect standard. Then turn your eyes to the only One who has kept that law perfectly and who desires this very moment to enter your life with enabling power. He will fulfill the righteousness of the law—the just requirements of the law—in you, so that you can say with Paul, “Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith ofthe Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
Sorry for the long article God's bless you as you read his word.
Christianity Etc › Re: Does God's Grace Blot Out The Law? by blueAgent(op): 9:51pm On Jan 21, 2016
His answer is that the law is established and reinforced in the life of a grace-saved Christian. The truth of this is so simple and obvious that it should require no repetition, but the devious reasoning of those who try to avoid obedience makes it necessary to press this point a bit further. Have you ever been stopped by a policeman for exceeding the speed limit? It is an embarrassing experience, especially if you know you are guilty. But suppose you really were hurrying to meet a valid emergency, and you pour out your convincing explanation to the police-man as he writes your ticket. Slowly he folds the ticket and tears it up. Then he says, “All right, I’m going to pardon you this time, but …” Now what do you think he means by that word “but”? Surely he means, “but I don’t want to ever catch you speeding again.” Does this pardon (grace) open the way for you to disobey the law? On the contrary, it adds compelling urgency to your decision not to disobey the law again. Why, then, should any true Christian try to rationalize his way out of obeying the law of God? “If ye love me,” Jesus said, “keep my commandments” ( John 14:15). Obedience—The Test of Love Someone may bring up the objection that after the law has accomplished its purpose of pointing the sinner to Christ for cleansing, it will no longer be needed in the experience of the believer. Is that true? No, indeed. The Christian will always need the watchdog of the law to reveal any deviation from the true path and to point him back to the cleansing cross of Jesus. There will never be a time when that mirror of correction will not be needed in the progressive growth experience of the Christian. Law and grace do not work in competition with each other but in perfect cooperation. The law points out sin, and grace saves from sin. The law is the will of God, and grace is the power to do the will of God. We do not obey the law in order to be saved but because we are saved. A beautiful text which combines the two in their true relationship is Revelation 14:12. “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” What a perfect description of faith and works! And the combination is found in those who are “saints.” The works of obedience are the real test of love. This is why they are so necessary in the experience of a true believer. “Faith without works is dead” ( James 2:20). No man ever won a fair maiden’s heart by words alone. Had there been no flowers, no acts of devotion, no gifts of love, most men would still be searching for a companion. Jesus said, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). Words and profession are not enough. The true evidence is obedience. Today’s bumper stickers reflect a shallow concept of love. They say, “Smile if you love Jesus,” “Honk if you love Jesus”; but what did the Master Himself say? He said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” ( John 14:15). And that is exactly what most people don’t want to do. If love makes no demands beyond a smile or wave, then it is welcome; but if the lifestyle must be disturbed, the majority will reject it. Unfortunately, most people today are not looking for truth. They are looking for a smooth, easy, comfortable religion that will allow them to live the way they please and still give assurance of salvation. There is indeed no true religion that can do that for them. One of the strongest texts in the Bible on this subject is found in 1 John 2:4. “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” John could write that with such assurance because it is one of the most deeply established truths in the Bible. Jesus spoke of those who said, “Lord, Lord,” but did not do the will of the Father. Then He described many who would seek entrance to the kingdom claiming to be workers of miracles in the name of Christ. But He would sorrowfully have to say, “I never knew you: depart from me” ( Matthew 7:21–23). You see, to know Christ is to love Him, and to love Him is to obey Him. The valid assumption of the Bible writers is very clear and simple: If one is not obeying Christ, he does not love Christ. And if he doesn’t love the Master, then he doesn’t know Him. John assured us, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” ( John 17:3). Thus, we can see how knowing and loving and obeying are all tied closely together and are absolutely inseparable in the life of God’s faithful people. The beloved John summed it up in these words: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous” ( 1 John 5:3). Is It Possible to Obey the Law? Countless Christians have been taught that since the law is spiritual and we are carnal, no human being will ever be able in this life to meet the requirements of the perfect law. Is this true? Has it been given by God as a great idealistic, impossible goal toward which converted souls should struggle but never expect to attain? Is there some hidden reservation or secret meaning in the many commands to obey the ten great rules God wrote on stone? Did God mean what He said and say what He meant? Many believe that only Christ could have obeyed that law and only because He had special powers that have not been made available to us. Certainly it is true that Jesus is the only One who lived without committing a single act of disobedience. His reason for living that perfect, victorious life is laid out in Romans 8:3, 4: “For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.” Do not miss the point that Jesus came to condemn sin by His perfect life in the flesh in order that “the righteousness of the law” might be fulfilled in us. What is that righteousness? The Greek word dikaima is used here, which means, literally, “the just requirement” of the law. This can only mean that Christ won His perfect victory in order to make the same victory available to us. Having conquered the devil, showing that in the flesh the law can be obeyed, Christ now offers to come into our hearts and share the victory with us. Only by His strength and indwelling power can the requirements of the law be fulfilled by anyone. Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” ( Philippians 4:13) . Not one soul can ever keep one of those Ten Commandments in human power alone, but all of them may be kept through the enabling strength of Jesus. He imputes His righteousness for cleansing and imparts His righteousness for victorious living. Christ came in a body of flesh like our own and depended wholly upon His Father in living His life to demonstrate the kind of victory which is possible for every soul who will likewise draw upon the Father’s grace. Judged by the Law Now, a final question about the subject of the law: How many of the Ten Commandments does one have to break in order to be guilty of sin? James says, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty” ( James 2:10–12). Every individual will be judged at last by the mighty moral code of God’s law. To break one is to be guilty of sin. The Bible indicates that the Ten Commandments are like a chain with ten links. When one link is broken, the chain is broken. So it is with the law. Those who stand in the judgment will have to meet the acid test of the Ten Commandments. If a practicing thief should seek entrance into the kingdom, he would be rejected. This is why Paul says thieves will not inherit the heavenly city. Furthermore, the Bible specifically declares that liars, adulterers, idolaters, and covetous men will not be in the kingdom. Why? Because the Ten Commandments forbid those things, and men will be judged finally by that law. Not one person will be admitted into heaven who is willfully violating any one of the Ten Commandments, because breaking one is breaking all. Someone might object that this is making works the basis of entering the kingdom. No. It is really making love the qualifying factor. Jesus said that the greatest commandment of all is to love God supremely. He also said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). Those who practice any known sin are really confessing that they do not love God with all their heart, soul, and mind. So it is the lack of love that shuts them out—not the act of disobedience that
Christianity Etc › Re: Does God's Grace Blot Out The Law? by blueAgent(op): 9:48pm On Jan 21, 2016
God’s Law—A Mirror At this point we must be very careful to designate also what the law cannot do. Even though it points out sin, it has no power to save from sin. There is no justifying, cleansing grace in it. All the works of all the laws would not be sufficient to save a single soul. Why? For the simple reason that we are saved by grace through faith, as a free gift. “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” ( Romans 3:20). Do not stumble over this crucial point. We cannot earn forgiveness by working hard to obey. No sinner can gain favor and acceptance with God because he keeps the law. The law was not made for the purpose of saving or justifying. It was made to show us our need of cleansing and to point us to the great source of cleansing, Jesus Christ, our Lord. The Bible speaks of the law as a mirror to show us what kind of persons we really are. “For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” ( James 1:23–25). It is obvious to all that a mirror cannot remove a spot from the face. Looking into the mirror all day, and even rubbing it over the face, will not provide any cleansing. Its work is to reveal the spot and to point the dirty one to the sink for actual cleansing. The law, in like manner, can only condemn the sinner by giving him knowledge of his condition and then pointing him to the cross for true cleansing. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” ( Ephesians 2:8, 9). Paul further emphasizes this point in Galatians 2:16: “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ … for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” Right here we must consider one of the most fallacious propositions ever set forth relating to the law. Countless sincere Christians have accepted the idea that the Old Testament encompasses the dispensation of works and that the New Testament provides for a dispensation of grace. Under this garbled plan people were saved by works in the Old Testament and by grace in the New Testament. This is simply not true. The Bible holds forth only one beautiful, perfect plan for anybody to be saved, and that is by grace through faith. Heaven will not be divided between those who got there by works and those who got there by faith. Every single soul among the redeemed will be a sinner saved by grace. Those who entered into salvation in the Old Testament were those who trusted the merits of the blood of Jesus Christ, and they demonstrated their faith by bringing a lamb and slaying it. They looked forward in faith to the atoning death of Jesus. We look back in faith to the same death and are saved in exactly the same way. Be very certain that the entire redeemed host throughout eternity will be singing the same song of deliverance, exalting the Lamb slain from the foundations of the world. The “New” Law of Christ Some try to dispose of the Ten Commandments on the basis of the “new” commandments of love that Christ introduced. It is certainly true that Jesus laid down two great laws of love as a summary of all the law, but did He give the idea that these were new in point of time? The fact is that He was quoting directly from the Old Testament when He gave those newcommandments. “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might” ( Deuteronomy 6:5). “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” ( Leviticus 19:18). Certainly, those penetrating spiritual principles had been forgotten by the legalists of Christ’s day, and they were new to them in relation to their life and practice. But they were not intended by Jesus to take the place of the Ten Commandments. When the lawyer asked Jesus which was the greatest commandment in the law, he received the answer: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” ( Matthew 22:37–40). Notice that these two love commandments simply summed up “all the law and the prophets.” They all hang upon these two principles of love. Christ was saying that love is the fulfilling of the law just as Paul repeated it later in Romans 13:10. If one loves Christ supremely with heart, soul, and mind, he will obey the first four commandments that have to do with our duty to God. He will not take God’s name in vain, worship other gods, etc. If one loves his neighbor as himself, he will obey the last six commandments that relate to our duty to our fellow men. He will not be able to steal from his neighbor, lie about him, etc. Love will lead to obeying or fulfilling all the law. Not Under the Law Often we hear this argument in an effort to belittle the law of God: “Well, since we are not under the law but under grace, we do not need to keep the Ten Commandments any longer.” Is this a valid point? The Bible certainly does say that we are not under the law, but does that imply that we are free from the obligation to obey it? The text is found in Romans 6:14, 15. “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.” How easily we could prevent confusion if we accepted exactly what the Bible says. Paul gives his own explanation of his statement. After stating that we are not under the law but under grace, he asks, “What then?” This simply means, “How are we to understand this?” Then notice his answer. In anticipation that some will construe his words to mean that you can break the law because you are under grace, he says, “Shall we sin (break the law) because we are not under the law but under grace? God forbid.” In the strongest possible language Paul states that being under grace does not give a license to break the law. Yet this is exactly what millions believe today, and they totally ignore Paul’s specific warning. If being under grace does not exempt us from keeping the law, then what does Paul mean by saying that Christians are not under the law? He gives that answer in Romans 3:19. “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.” Here Paul equates being under the law with “being guilty before God.” In other words, those who are under the law are guilty of breaking it and are under the condemnation of it. This is why Christians are not under it. They are not breaking it—not guilty and condemned by it. Therefore, they are not under it, but are under the power of grace instead. Later in his argument, Paul points out that the power of grace is greater than the power of sin. This is why he states so emphatically, “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” Grace overrules the authority of sin, giving power to obey God’s law. This is the effective reason that we are not under the law’s guilt and condemnation and also why Paul states that we will not continue to sin. Suppose a murderer has been sentenced to death in the electric chair. Waiting for the execution the man would truly be under the law in every sense of the word—under the guilt, under the condemnation, under the sentence of death, etc. Just before the execution date the governor reviews the condemned man’s case and decides to pardon him. In the light of extenuating circumstances the governor exercises his prerogative and sends a full pardon to the prisoner. Now he is no longer under the law but under grace. The law no longer condemns him. He is considered totally justified as far as the charges of the law are concerned. He is free to walk out of the prison and no policeman can lay hands upon him. But now that he is under grace and no longer under the law, can we say that he is free to break the law? Indeed not! In fact, that pardoned man will be doubly obligated to obey the law because he has found grace from the governor. In gratitude and love he will be very careful to honor the law of that state which granted him grace. Is that what the Bible says about pardoned sinners? “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law” ( Romans 3:31). Here is the most explicit answer to the entire problem. Paul asks if the law is nullified for us just because we have had faith in Christ’s saving grace.
Christianity Etc › Does God's Grace Blot Out The Law? by blueAgent(op): 9:47pm On Jan 21, 2016
Almost all of the great denominations have officially placed themselves on record as supporting the authority of that law. Yet very subtle errors of interpretation have crept into the modern church, leading to the present state of confused loyalty toward the Ten Commandments. How earnestly we need to look at that law and study its relation to God’s grace and to salvation itself. Itis so easy to accept the popular clichés concerning law and grace without searching out the biblical facts by which we will finally be judged. We must find authoritative scriptural answers to questions like these: In what sense are Christians free from the law? What does it mean to be under the law? Does God’s grace nullify the Ten Commandments? Is a Christian justified in breaking any of the Ten Commandments because he is under grace? These are the questions we shall address ourselves to in this important study. Condemned to Die Let us push aside the rubbish of confusion that has obscured the truth about how men are saved. Multitudes have heard emotional discourses on sin and salvation, but they still do not understand the logic and reason that require a blood sacrifice. Can you imagine the horror of standing before a judge and hearing the sentence of death pronounced against you? Probably not. But you have felt the driving guilt and fear when God’s Word stabs you with this sentence: “The wages of sin is death” ( Romans 6:23). Why fear and guilt? Because “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” ( Romans 3:23). The words are there and the meaning cannot be mistaken. The word “all” might just as well be spelled John Smith or Mary Jones or whatever your name happens to be. The shocking fact is that you are under the sentence of death! You have been found guilty before the law, and there is no court of appeal in the world that can reverse the sentence and find you not guilty. The fact is that you are guilty, just as guilty as sin. According to 1 John 3:4, “sin is the transgression of the law,” and you must plead guilty to breaking the law. Whose law did you break? Paul answers quickly, “I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet” (Ro-mans 7:7). There it is! The great Ten-Commandment law is the one that was broken, and it demands death for the transgressor. In desperation the sinner searches for a way to be justified in the sight of that broken law. How can the sentence of death be turned aside? Can man atone for his sins by obeying the commandments of God for the rest of his life? Back comes the answer in language that no one can misinterpret: “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight” ( Romans 3:20). Listen; there is a reason why works will not justify a soul. If a man is found guilty of stealing and is sentenced to ten years in jail, he may indeed justify himself by works. By serving the time of his sentence, the man may satisfy the claims of the law. He is considered perfectly justified and innocent because he has worked out his deliverance by fulfilling the sentence. In the same manner, a murderer may be justified by works if he serves the fifty years of his sentence. But suppose the sentence is death instead of fifty years? Can the prisoner then justify himself by works? Never! Even if he should work for one hundred years at hard labor, the law would still demanddeath. The truth is that “without shedding of blood is no remission. … So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many” ( Hebrews 9:22– 28). This is why works can never save the sinner. The penalty for sin is not ten years in prison or fifty years at hard labor. The sentence is death, and the law cannot be satisfied except by the shedding of blood. That unchangeable law with its unrelenting death sentence could no more be removed than the throne of God could be toppled. The guilt of the past cannot be erased by resolutions of good behavior in the future. The sinner finally is forced to confess that he owes something that he cannot pay. The law demands death and he cannot satisfy it without forfeiting his own life for eternity. The Law Still Binding Now we are brought to the question that has created confusion for multitudes of Christians: If the works of the law cannot save a person, is it therefore necessary to keep the law? Apparently this was a burning issue in the early church, because Paul asked the same question in Romans 6:1. “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?” In other words, does grace give us a license to disobey the law of God? His answer is: “God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” (verse 2). How interesting it is that Christians in this age of relativism can invent their own definitions that condone lawbreaking. The Bible says sin is violating the Ten Commandments—the law which has been described as irrelevant and old- fashioned by many modern theologians. Don’t be deceived. Every one of those great moral precepts is just as timely and needful today as they were when God wrote them on the imperishable tables of stone. And nothing has ever happened to make them less binding than they were when God gave them. In fact, we are going to discover that Jesus came to magnify the law and to open up its spiritual application, making it more comprehensive than the legalistic Pharisees ever imagined. Under the distilling influence of Christ’s perfect life of obedience, we can see the spiritual details of law-keeping which are neither recognized nor made possible apart from Him.

are the socialist states of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark more prosperous and healthy than free market America? These socialist states have some of the most productive labor markets in the world, lowest unemployment rates, and (according to surveys and indexes) rank among the happiest countries to live. If capitalism fosters entrepreneurial thinking and increases prosperity why are some of the freest markets on earth also the poorest and most crime ridden (Haiti)? If democracy is superior to dictatorship why was Iraq more peaceful and stable under a tyranny than it's new American restructured democratic government? It took less than a decade for the country to disintegrate after the fall of it's autocrat. The same thing could be said of Syria. The weakening of the Assad family has plunged that country into anarchy and violence. If monarchy is really so bad how did the Western world rise to preeminence under it's oversight? No doubt there is a time for republicanism, a time for socialism, a time for monarchy, a time for capitalism. All of these concepts contain fragments of truth which if applied at the right moment will produce good results. But to place our hopes in these man made ideologies is to mislead ourselves. All human inventions will fail. No system designed by man will work universally. For this reason, humanity must lay down it's pride and accept the fundamental tools of organization which God has lent it. Only in these will mankind find stability and success. If a nation upholds the morality of the Christian religion will it need many laws? If men lead in humility and courage will it ever be corrupted? If women nurture society and produce it's heirs will it's future be in doubt? If people are surrounded by their own kin how much more trust will they have in one another? How much more cooperation will be possible? How much more generous will people be towards their neighbors? Who is man to direct his own steps? Is God's organization not enough? And if a country wants a republic why should their elders not be the one's to vote? If a man is qualified to lead the Church is he not ideal candidate for enfranchisement? In Titus 1 Paul gives Timothy the qualifications for an Elder: This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you— if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseer as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick- tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self- controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined . He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. Can someone think of better qualifications to vote? If all voters were elders people would trust their leaders. It should be men of good character who vote in elections. Men who have children. Men whose vote will effect those children. These are the one's who have a stake in the political future. NOTES
Politics › God's Political Order by blueAgent(op): 9:32pm On Jan 21, 2016
Today, politics is dominated by the fight between ideologies. Republicans are capitalists, Democrats are socialists, the Soviet Union was communist, America is democratic, Iran is theocratic, most everyone is multiculturalist (in claim at least). What is God? God has revealed his will to humanity in two ways. His revelation and created order. What do these things tell mankind about God's politics? This author would contend that God has revealed his political order for humanity in three fundamental realities: I. Religion II. Gender III. Race / Family / Ethnicity I. Number one needs little explanation. If a nation is to be pleasing to God it must worship him, follow his moral code, and infuse his values into its society. Most of the Old Testament deals with one nation's struggle to remain godly. Religion is innate to man. It shapes his mind either limiting or expanding him. The spirit of a society is in its religion, and that spirit can be either life giving energy or a deadly cancer. II. The proper view of the second element of political organization is a lost art. God says men are to lead in humility and courage, putting others before themselves. Women are to nurture and have children. The suicidal birth rates of modern Europe and Japan should be enough for humanity to realize that fertility is a monumental political issue. Demography is destiny. If it's women don't give birth a nation cannot survive, and it certainly cannot grow in power or prosperity. The women's role is an existential one. The two genders compliment one another. They cannot survive without the other. Neither can last if the other does not fulfill it's duty. III. Finally, race, ethnicity, and family form the genetic reality of God's designed order. Genesis 10 pays close attention to the development of human families into vast political ethnic groups. Whether the Bible is describing Egypt, Israel, or Babylon it begins with those people's common ancestor. Their blood connection. The Old Testament follows the course of one man's family, the Nation of Israel, as they march through history and struggle to maintain there own political and religious liberty. This nation (Israel) defines it's existence by blood ancestry traced back to common family members. Race is nothing more than an extended family. People are more closely related to a member of their own race than they are to members of another race. Nowhere in the Bible is a multiethnic state ever called a nation. Multiracialism is simply unheard of. God naturally organizes man into nations. Clans of blood relatives.
Acts 17:26 states: '[God] hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;' The word translated 'nation' in this verse is literally the word ethnos from which we derive our term ethnicity. In miniature, these nations are nuclear families, and nuclear families make up the smallest form of political organization God has created. In practice, these families expand into ever larger groups that form the core of broader political creations like the nation-state of Israel - a geopolitical organization formed by common blood and heritage. Nowhere in the Bible does God create or encourage the creation of any geopolitical entity besides the ethnic state. All of humanity is descended from 'one blood,' but so are cousins, and yet, they are expected to favor their immediate siblings and parents over one another. If it is morally impermissible for humanity to organize itself by race it is also impermissible for humanity to organize itself by family. Race is merely extended family. At the Tower of Babel, God forced humanity apart when they sought to avoid ethnic fragmentation and division. God intends different nations to form. It is his genetic design. Unity of humanity under anything but Christ is rebellion against God. The modern design, to form out of all races and religions a single common civilization united by corporatism and democracy, is a new Tower of Babel - an attempt to undermine God's created order and subvert the only unity he has chosen to establish. Science has confirmed God's intention to organize humanity by genetically distinct ethnic groups. Pierre L. van den Berghe, professor emeritus of sociology and anthropology at the University of Washington, summed up the genetic similarity principle when he wrote: 'The degree of cooperation between organisms can be expected to be a direct function of the proportion of the genes they share; conversely, the degree of conflict between them is an inverse function of the proportion of shared genes.' [1] This principle holds true across the animal kingdom. Even vegetation follows this rule. In one study, it was found that plants recognize and cooperate with their siblings: 'Susan Dudley, an evolutionary plant ecologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and her colleagues observed that when siblings are grown next to each other in the soil, they "play nice" and don't send out more roots to compete with one another. However, the moment one of the plants is thrown in with strangers, it begins competing with them by rapidly growing more roots to take up the water and mineral nutrients in the soil.' J. Phillip Rushton of the University of Western Ontario observed that, 'Genetically similar people tend to seek one another out, and to provide mutually supportive environments such as marriage, friendship, and social groups .' [2] This fact has clearly been demonstrated by numerous studies of infants and young children who almost always show definitive racial bias towards members of their own race. Research from the University of Delaware (and others) has shown that infants already prefer their own race by the age of 3 months. By 9 months, the researchers concluded that babies were already less capable of remembering the faces of other race individuals. Other studies have found that humans become more anxious just by interacting with members of another race. In particularly shocking research, it was discovered that White's don't empathize nearly as much with the pain of Blacks as they do with that of other Whites. When shown pictures of a Black hand being pricked with a needle their bodies didn't register nearly as much anxiety. This phenomenon is referred to as the 'empathy gap.' Ingrained biological tendencies to favor one's own genetic relatives produce social situations which make people less likely to create functional societies with members of other racial groups. After extensive study, Harvard researcher Robert Putnam observed: '...inhabitants of diverse communities tend to withdraw from collective life, distrust their neighbors, regardless of the color of their skin, to withdraw even from close friends, to expect the worst from their community and its leaders, to volunteer less, to give less to charity and work on community projects less, to agitate for social reform more, but have less faith that they can actually make a difference, and to huddle unhappily in from of the television.' Putnam's description of diverse communities certainly doesn't sound like a recipe for functional political organization. According to Putnam, racial diversity is so destructive that it causes members of the same race to become less likely to interact due to the mere presence of racially different people. Through his creation and revealed word God has made his political designs clear. No matter which corner of the globe one lives upon every society which accepts the three fold political organization God has designed (religion, gender, race/family) will be better off for it. In reverse, no society (regardless of who they are) will not collapse if they rebel against it. No atheistic society has ever survived, no society whose women would not reproduce has survived, and no multiracial society has ever survived. The more a community rebels against God's politics the more social decline will set in. During America's dramatic rise to power in the 1800s American law was founded upon Christian principals, American women had high birth rates, and the American people were united by common Anglo-Saxon blood. The farther America has drifted from Christianity, proper gender roles, and common racial unity the faster it has become decadent and dysfunctional. What of the ideological questions? What of the debate between socialism and capitalism? Of democracy and monarchy? These weak ideologies are human inventions. Systems whose track records are neutral or of little of consequence. All of them are certainly worth little time debating when compared to the religious, racial, and gender issues which dominate the underlying foundations of all political organization. Capitalist ideologues argue that socialism is economically degenerate, and that it results in laziness and dependence upon the government. But if this is always true why are the

The greek, persian, babylonian, assyrian civilization were all built by the Black people.

Even the greeks which is the home to the non-blacks found some civilization there in the aegean sea.
An account by Hendrik Van Loon in the book THE STORY OF MANKIND. They are the kind of man.

THE AEGEAN SEA

THE PEOPLE OF THE AEGEAN SEA CARRIED THE CIVILISATION OF OLD ASIA INTO THE WILDERNESS OF EUROPE
WHEN Heinrich Schliemann was a little boy his father told him the story of Troy. He liked that story better than anything else he had ever heard and he made up his mind, that as soon as he was big enough to leave home, he would travel to Greece and "find Troy." That he was the son of a poor country parson in a Mecklenburg village did not bother him. He knew that he would need money but he decided to gather a fortune first and do the digging afterwards. As a matter of fact, he managed to get a large fortune within a very short time, and as soon as he had enough money to equip an expedition, he went to the northwest corner of Asia Minor, where he supposed that Troy had been situated.
In that particular nook of old Asia Minor, stood a high mound covered with grainfields. According to tradition it had been the home of Priamus the king of Troy. Schliemann, whose enthusiasm was somewhat greater than his knowledge, wasted no time in preliminary explorations. At once he began to dig. And he dug with such zeal and such speed that his trench went straight through the heart of the city for which he was looking and carried him to the ruins of another buried town which was at least a thousand years older than the Troy of which Homer had written. Then something very interesting occurred. If Schliemann had found a few polished stone hammers and perhaps a few pieces of crude pottery, no one would have been surprised. Instead of discovering such objects, which people had generally associated with the prehistoric men who had lived in these regions before the coming of the Greeks, Schliemann found beautiful statuettes and very costly jewelry and ornamented vases of a pattern that was unknown to the Greeks. He ventured the suggestion that fully ten centuries before the great Trojan war, the coast of the AEgean had been inhabited by a mysterious race of men who in many ways had been the superiors of the wild Greek tribes who had invaded their country and had destroyed their civilisation or absorbed it until it had lost all trace of originality. And this proved to be the case. In the late seventies of the last century, Schliemann visited the ruins of Mycenae, ruins which were so old that Roman guide-books marvelled at their antiquity. There again, beneath the flat slabs of stone of a small round enclosure, Schliemann stumbled upon a wonderful treasure-trove, which had been left behind by those mysterious people who had covered the Greek coast with their cities and who had built walls, so big and so heavy and so strong, that the Greeks called them the work of the Titans, those god-like giants who in very olden days had used to play ball with mountain peaks.
A very careful study of these many relics has done away with some of the romantic features of the story. The makers of these early works of art and the builders of these strong fortresses were no sorcerers, but simple sailors and traders. They had lived in Crete, and on the many small islands of the AEgean Sea. They had been hardy mariners and they had turned the AEgean into a center of commerce for the exchange of goods between the highly civilised east and the slowly developing wilderness of the European mainland.
For more than a thousand years they had maintained an island empire which had developed a very high form of art. Indeed their most important city, Cnossus, on the northern coast of Crete, had been entirely modern in its insistence upon hygiene and comfort. The palace had been properly drained and the houses had been provided with stoves and the Cnossians had been the first people to make a daily use of the hitherto unknown bathtub. The palace of their King had been famous for its winding staircases and its large banqueting hall. The cellars underneath this palace, where the wine and the grain and the olive-oil were stored, had been so vast and had so greatly impressed the first Greek visitors, that they had given rise to the story of the "labyrinth," the name which we give to a structure with so many complicated passages that it is almost impossible to find our way out, once the front door has closed upon our frightened selves.
But what finally became of this great AEgean Empire and what caused its sudden downfall, that I can not tell.
The Cretans were familiar with the art of writing, but no one has yet been able to decipher their inscriptions. Their history therefore is unknown to us. We have to reconstruct the record of their adventures from the ruins which the AEgeans have left behind. These ruins make it clear that the AEgean world was suddenly conquered by a less civilised race which had recently come from the plains of northern Europe. Unless we are very much mistaken, the savages who were responsible for the destruction of the Cretan and the AEgean civilisation were none other than certain tribes of wandering shepherds who had just taken possession of the rocky peninsula between the Adriatic and the AEgean seas and who are known to us as Greeks.

There is no place on this planet that had no Black people prior to 6000 years ago, We civilized the entire planet, and I will go more to say we civilized all the earth like planet in the universe, We are still doing so NOW! as the universe keep expanding.
