Answer 1

A lot of people think that being a Christian means being a wimp. It takes a lot of guts to be your self and to tell others you think different then they do. In some cases if you don't think like the group your not part of the group. It might be that they want to keep their friends. If they are converted, they risk loosing their friends. It's like Jesus said, They hear the gospel and recieve it gladly, but the worries and riches of the world crowd in and choke them, they believe only for a while and fall away.

Answer 2

Check the lessons of the church lately


Get rich and prosper
You can have everything you want

Not only do preachers of false worship
prevent nonbelievers to enter the kingdom
they literaly make the believers run away because
they know the real truth and they can never teach it

Black boys mostly grew up in church but find themselves
extreamly dismaid when all of a sudden what they read andd what they see and hear cime iut your preachers mouth is
misrepensentation of God's Word

Example: The false church still use tything as a way to
enslave a persons wallet or bank account...when they know we are no longer the Laws of Moses... u can't serve two masters
Either you are a Christian of the New Testament where Jesus blood is ONLY found Matt 26.26; 1Cor 11:23

So if your church isn't practicing or deying the truth
they believe they might as wel follow their own rules

Answer 3

I think it has less to do with color and more to do with upbringing. If you have been taught the word of God as a child, you will have a tendency to at least look at it as you get older and make a decision. Unfortunately, a lot of black families have not had the opportunity to raise their children in a Godly manner because of the rest of their environment. I know that some parents try, but they have to concentrate on just putting food on the table and paying the rent. And, probably a full fifty percent of the parents are single as well so that doubles the problem. It doesn't leave much time for anything else. Our society isn't doing much to offer good alternatives to the drugs, sex and money that is out there for the taking. It is rare indeed to find someone like you. I'm not saying that blacks are the only ones affected. I am speaking of young people in general today. Single parent homes, coming home from school to an empty house every day...there is a lot of things missing that kids don't have to lean on today like we used to have.

Answer 4

I wouldn't say all black people are like that, but I do know of a neighborhood with the characteristics you've provided. I'm guessing they just want to emulate what they see in rap music videos... and once they accept such a state of mind as being "hard", then you probably shouldn't expect them to have any morals or principles.

Answer 5

It's not hard. Let me tell you, a lot of those guys put on a "front". The do and say these things to try and look and act cool. But all inside they know it's fake, their just trying to blend in. Most do desire to be saved, but they haven't reached that level yet on how not to be ashamed of it. When you pray, just ask the Lord to help them find their way. Their just lost and need some direction, just like with any other race o religion.

Answer 6

So they be wanting huh? That's a fantastic grasp of the English language you have there Miss Christian Virgin Cheerleader. I do believe that Jesus was color blind. If you must generalize, it would be nice if you threw a "some" in there. You might be saved but you're still pretty ignorant. You need to pray for your own tolerance and realize the world couldn't care less that you hold yourself in such high regard. Self righteousness is a sin too sweetie. Pray for guidance and for God to help you see past skin color. You need more help than anyone you're praying for.

You claim to be a Christian and you're calling people freaks? Who died and made you God? You need to humble yourself. You think you know it all and you're just as lost as the ones you're praying for. Judgement isn't for you, it's for God so, get over yourself.

Answer 7

I didn't know it was?
It cant be any harder for them to get saved than it is the next guy. There is no challenges like that to excepting Jesus as Lord.

Answer 8

It is a socioeconomic issue. Stay in school and go to college far away and you will meet a different caliber of black men. Don't worry they are out there and High School is just hard.

Answer 9

Well...
It is not that it's hard for them to be saved because they are into drugs.
Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ will look not-sinful in front of eyes of our Lord.
The thing is, if they are not Christians and they are into drugs and sex, it'll be little hard for them to follow the path Jesus walked.
Like John Calvin said, we are all predestined by our Lord.
All we need to do, is pray for them, preach gospel, and just hope that some of them will turn into Christians.

Answer 10

Woah Girl! What school do you go to??
I assure you that young and old of every race are born-again.
You are better off sticking to yourself, then spending time with an influence like that.

Jesus is a friend that sticks closer then a brother.
