"The Bible Commands Segregation"

by Bertrand Comparet

I could not believe what I read on this site. How many times have I called the bible as bigoted fiction? Read for yourself.

I am proud to say that I do not!

Answer 1

Good god I didn't think people still thought like that in this day and age!!!! It harks back to neo-nazism etc.

I don't follow any commands from the Bible or from any other source for that matter the only thing I follow is my heart and my head.

people interept the Bible in their way for their own means and for that reason it can be a dangerouse piece of work.

Answer 2

It's really a good idea to do some investigation before you believe something; otherwise, you run the risk of being wrong. Such is the case here.

A quick look at this church's web site shows they disregard some of the central tenets of Christianity. Most odious is their belief in "replacement theology," as explained on their front page:

"We believe the time has come (Isaiah. 27 - 12) when the lost Israel "nation and company of nations...” (Gen. 35 -11) is being found and positively identified. Only one race today answers in every detail to the Bible pic­ture of Israel "in the latter days," and that is the Adamic European de­scended race. They possess what Israel was to possess and they are do­ing what Israel was to do."

This is complete tripe and should have been your signal that you were reading a site that wasn't supported by true Christianity.

As for the Bible commanding segregation, the author conveniently forgets Moses married a black woman, yet God called him a "man of God."

Answer 3

It would be nice if people would actually read the Bible and ask intelligent questions rather than judging it on the basis of someone's opinion!

Before you call the Bible bigoted, please read this scripture:

Acts 10:34-35 34 At this Peter opened his mouth and said: "For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, 35 but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

Colossians 3:25 25 Certainly the one that is doing wrong will receive back what he wrongly did, and there is no partiality.

I wonder how you would like it if everybody judged you because of your enemy's opinion about you?

Do you think it pleases God to be judged not by what he says but by some person's statement? Please realize that God knows what each individual says and thinks and have respect for him. Maybe that would cause God to respect you too!

Answer 4

We follow the commands that are applicable to us in the dispensation we are living in. Didn't see your link, but segregation has been part of God's people since Abraham. The first statement that God made to Abraham was, "Come out from among..." Even today the Bible tells Christians to come out from the world and its evil and turn to righteousness.

Edit: That webssite is garbage. Absolutely nothing to do with Christianity at all. You need to read the whole Bible to understand the point God was making to Israel. BTW any one coming to Israel in the Bible (the stranger) was fully accepted by Israel, it was only Israel that was not allowed to reject their faith and go and join another nation. They never rejected the other races if they came to God. That "Dr." is very ignorant of the teaching of the Bible.

Answer 5

This was in reference to the religious differences of the foreigners around them; it was NOT due to national or ethnic differences.

This can be seen because those foreigners who embraced true worship of Jehovah were acceptable to him.

For example, consider Rahab, formerly a prostitute in Jericho, who married Salmon and became an ancestor of Jesus Christ.

Likewise her daughter in law, the wife of Boaz, Ruth. She was a Moabite and she also was an ancestor of Jesus.

This was because each of them became worshippers of Jehovah God.

It is a shame the people like Comparet are giving the Bible and Christianity a bad reputation.

That the separation was to be between true worshippers and false worshippers is also in the "New Testament" in such passages as 1 Corinthians 7:39 and 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.

Answer 6

Most of the quotes in the url you gave are from the Old Testament. The Old Covenant/Law of Moses. Only one was found in the New Testament, Jude, who quoted from the Old Law.

You take one reading and it justifies what your opinion of the Bible is? Sad!!! As a Christian, I've never heard of this man Bertrand Comparet. What is his mission statement, what added doctrine has he put with the Bible?

We are to do our utmost to follow the commandments God gave Moses, but more importantly what Christ gave us when He brought in the New Covenant. (along with all the direct and indirect commandments we are to do)

We are to obey God and to love our neighbors as we love our self. Christ didn't segregate the races in that statement at all.

Humans are creatures of habit. It takes years to break the bondage from a family, an organization, and government.

The road is very narrow or as wide as one once to take. Remember, those that take the wide road losses much, those that take the narrow road gains much.

Answer 7

Via the '2 or more witnesses' principle (Matt.18:16, 2 Cor. 13:1) I would probably drive myself 'nuts' trying to obey all his commands in this present life'. By the way; his 'commands' go back into Genesis, and teh law of Moses back at Mt. Sinai, was given to Moses by Jesus too!!!

Answer 8

And the Bible says that the sky is held up by pillars, and insects have four legs. Even themost devout fundamentalist can't dispute this.

The Bible is the same as the Greek Mythologes, Persian creation stories, and such. Allegories. Myths to entertain explain the world, and offer a guildelines to live by.

People change and evolve, but the Bible does not, and it's startig to strangle.

Answer 9

Funny, in the Book Of Galatians, the apostle Paul expressly condemns segregation.

And James says that people who show favoritism by treating some people better than others are committing a sin.

And even Peter said that this was wrong. You're pastor doesn't know scripture, and neither do you, I see.

----------------------------------

[Peter] said to them: "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?"
~Acts 10:28-29 (NIV)

Answer 10

I couldn't finish reading that horrible passage, I wasn't getting sick to m7y stomach!

Just another instance of someone using the Bible to rationalize their own ugly prejudices. I have always wondered this: If "God" is anti-intermarriage, why are such unions blessed with children, usually very beautiful children.

Also, why would anyone believe in a god who is so hateful?
