God looked just like someone they hated?

Tom T., I understand what you're saying clearly and I agree. Yet, as a Christian, I would find it hard to face the Lord knowing that I didn't speak out against racism. If you know God then you know that He knows your heart!

No matter what someone does on this earth, there is going to be a point when they have to face God to be judged and they are going to have to face all the things they did on earth good and bad.
Want to know what I think? People who are racist are going to have a real wake up call. What are they going to do when their soul moves on from their body and race will no longer matter anymore? What kind of excuse will they have to justify their actions? I believe that when that time comes, from that point forward, they will only care about what God thinks about them and that is all.
They will have to face what they have done when God asks them why they have not loved others who are all of the same blood. For once in their existence they will finally be able to reflect on what they did in this world. They will have to look at what they did and will finally feel humiliation for making the hateful decisions they have made in life here, just like anyone else.
I think racism makes God sad because he loves all of us and wants us to love each other just like he love us. He loves all of us the same no matter what we look like.
In the end, no matter what others have done, or how they live, we all make our own choices and we will all reap what we sow not for what others did but for what WE do. That's one of the reasons why people say, "It doesn't matter how you died, but how you lived".

Now, we are assuming the racist was saved, right? I think if a racist makes into heaven, our Lord could look like anyone and that person would FINALLY see that standing around Him would be a mulitude of believers that had passed before him that would be so many different nationalities that person would see the real love that Jesus hold for all of us. The creator made us all and as believers we will always be one in our love for God.

There's no problem with that, they won't be going to Heaven if there is hate in their heart. Of course most people don't really know what God means when He says the word hate so I would say 95% of the people they think they hate, they don't.

My wager is racist human beings won't in any respect replace. Racism justify homicide, rape, poverty, wars, wealth, imperialism. seem at Iraqi women human beings complains with regard to the luckiness of marriage since american invasion, no guy are left to marry, they destroyed each thing, faculties, hospitals, lodges and harmless little ones then the destroyers circulate returned living house after years of torture and experience their beer, enormous television's, and patriotic existence, now who's the real Racist human beings?

I maintain that a Christian can not have Jesus in their heart and race on their mind. It's a serious conflict and does not serve Christ for what is in your heart should likewise be in your mind. As a white person, I hold no preconceived notion as to what God may look like. I'm far more concerned as to what I look like to Him.

most racist already hate God b/c of his religion and his skin color already.
i honestly do not think that God would let a racist into heaven unless they had asked for forgiveness and truly meant it from their heart.

If they actually go to heaven I'm sure that God will look exactly like someone they hate!! How funny would that be?

Wow, good one. I don't believe God is "white", I believe his appearance encompasses all races and ethnicities.

you see it all the time on here, someone says "I would rather go to hell, than spend eternity with--------------.
they use different names, or groups, but the result is the same.
so what happen if they do go to Hell to get away from a certain person, or group, and find out they are down there also?
