Jesse Jackson can keep lookig at it to yea because he needs Jesus Christ himself .
I give out gospel tracts alot and I carry a Confederate Flag on my bike .
Others hate it but to bad if know the flag has something to do with JESUS CHRIST!
Yes Jesus would carry a Confederate Flag YUP!
He also tell you that you need to be SAVED!
If you not saved turn to Jesus today.
For all have sinned come short of the Glory of God, Romans 3;23
For whosever shall call upon te name of the Lord shallbe Saved, Romans 10;13
Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish Luke 13;3
For whosever was not foubnd written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire, Revelation 20-15
Jesus died shed his blood to wash away our sins 1 John 1-7 THe Blood of Jesus Christ his son cleaseth us from all sin.
If you never SAVED you go to Hell burnig forever , Mark 9;48 Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched .
Oh Robert E . Lee was a Born Again Christian he didnt burn down churches .

No, and yes. As for threatening people with hell, that isn't your job, or your decision.

Actually, the Civil War was about money and profit. Slavery was an afterthought. The North had all the rail road lines and industry. While the South had agriculture and ports and the best officers.
The betting was going for the South to win in the beginning.
The South needed slavery for the crops where the North used machines in factories. Though it had been argued since before the country was formed until the Civil War started, neither side was willing to do much about it as long as both sides made a profit from slavery. The North handled transport of the textiles and agriculture.
Keep in mind that though the Emancipation Proclamation by Lincoln was a great thing, it only applied to territory the North controlled, already Free States.
We tend to get wrapped up in noise from the winners in history and those with an axe to grind. It is not really the way things happen. We must look closer to discover what was what. Slavery, no matter who is enslaved, is a bad thing to be avoided.

Symbols change their meaning. Happens all the time. The Peace symbol was once seen as a satanic symbol. The satanic symbol was once seen as a protective symbol. The rainbow wasn't really seen as anything but pretty. And so on and so on.
During the Civil War, the confederate flag was more about the right of states to seperate from the U.S.
Now, its more about racism.
Think about the number of racist groups that use it, then think about the number of seperationist groups that use it. Obviously, the meaning has changed and is now one of racism.

No the confederate flag doesn't mean hate & no the civel war wasn't about slavery,it wes a side issue.Furthermore the tipic should not be used for a religous platform since the cuuntry was primarilly christiam & had better morals thain is currantly used today in most churches. Like the Bible says we're getting smarter not wiser.

Yes. The Civil War was about slavery. There is no two ways about it. Therefore, no matter how current Southerners try to ressurect it, the Confederate flag will ALWAYS represent a time of division, hatred, and a blight on humanity that was slavery. It will NEVER be about pride.

I can hardly understand what you're trying to say... The Confederate flag has nothing to do with Christianity dufus, it's a badge of honor in the South. And yes... slavery had somewhat to do with the civil war (not all but some).

That's right, Jesus Christ would carry the banner representing an illegitimate pseudo-nation that broke away from another larger union solely in order to continue enslaving a race that the very same region, to this day, continues to bare unreasoned racism towards. That's right, because God loves hatred and bloodshed....maybe you have a point, afterall...

O.K> I know a methodist chruch in my neighborhood that supports the K.K.K. and I call them "the rebel flag" church. Not all methodist chruches do this, but this one does.
Point is, what statement are you trying to make here? You present a doublestandard. Just like a christian who claims to be saved and then runs after atheist with holy water saying "Come out ye demon, come out."

You do realize that the south lost, right?
Why cling to a symbol that serves only to remind others that you got your butts kicked by the yankees?
It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
