He is the newest member here and has made 1 post in the Current Events section. What tipped me off when I looked at his site was the "Iraqi Freedom Stamp Collection" as well as the fact that he won a "Freeper of the Year Award." I don't think he's a troll-just a confused freeper who thinks this is another "Let's Role" and "Nuke Dem Ayrabs" site.

I do not see any reason to attack Mr. Head. As you said he not a troll. He must have some idea this Forum is less PC than most. Paleoconservatives need to grow their numbers, and this is not done, by only talking to people-who already agree with you about everything.
Jeff Head's thread:
A Tribute to my Father Honoring our Fathers on Father's Day [url=http://forum.originaldissent.com/index.php?showtopic=8531]http://forum.originaldissent.com/index.php...?showtopic=8531[/url]

I didn't "labe: him a troll; you'll notice a question mark in the thread title. I think it's clear that Mr. Head is not at all a troll, but a decent, inteliigent, accomplished, if misguided, individual who hopefully with some persuasion can be brough over to the paleo cause.

I'd just luv to hear his opinion on Dubya. I'm thinking it's something along the lines of: "Well, I think the President is a decent, God-fearing man. Sure, maybe he's not as tough on some issues, like immigration, as I'd like him to be, but all in all I think he's doing a damn fine job, and he's got my vote in 2004." :rolleyes:

His opinion of Dubya doesn't make him troll. As I said, its possibe {though perobably unlikely) that with a little persuasion Mr. Head can see the valid points of paleoconservatism. Remember, most people here started out as either kosher kahnservatives or liberals.

In my opinion, Tom Rennick is like a Bircher. The Birchers call themselves an "anti-Communist" organization, BUT, for some "strange" reason, they do not name the very taproot of Communism -- The Tribe. Ever! Sound logical? Nope. Very strange. Very odd. Very weird.
So, in a way, Mr. Rennick is our resident Bircher.

He is no longer a suspect. I think most of us can agree that he is indeed a troll. His ad nauseum repetition of the same message, which happens to be completely irrelevant to this forum (I don't see any swastikas of "sieg heils" here) mark him as such.

Just returned from a long weekend mini-vacation in New Braunfels with my family. I want to make this semi-public statement here on this thread because quite frankly I'm disgusted at the treatment Jeff Head received here while I was away.
Let me state it very clearly. I will decide who or who isn't a troll. I don't know Jeff Head from Adam, but he did not come on insulting or disparaging anyone or any group. If one wanted to debate the finer points of our involvement in WWII, then the gentlemanly, dare I say Christian, thing to do would have been to start another separate topic in the History forum for that very discussion. To berate the guy as "Jew brainwashed", "lemming" and other such insults is not what this board is about, nor will it ever be.
Without singling any one specific person out at this time, I will recommend to the members and senior members that can read this to be better examples of the membership here to guests, lurkers and new members. If ideas have merit and are indeed supreme, then they will stand out in logical debate and have no need of bullying tactics, personal attacks and such. Maybe some of you need to revisit the forum guidelines posted prominently at the top of the board.
Let's all try to keep things on-track and debate honestly. As we try to grow we will invariably encounter those who do not agree with us. Hell, I don't agree with many of you on a number of topics. But nothing will drive potential allies and converts away than to attack and bully them whenever there is disagreement. I won't run and pay for that kind of site/board.
Thank you and regards,
Jason

Tex - You're right that JH didn't receive a warm welcome from some of us and if he's really where a lot of us were just a few years ago, I apologize. Otoh, you know that flag-waving patriotism is a popular tool that neocon Jews use to insert their only-traitors-doubt-the-glorious-cause-of-WWII agenda in pursuit of American service to Israel. Who posts a serious tribute to his father on a forum before looking the place over, only to come back from criticism of it with the familiar why-am-I-being-so-poisected, martyred so idealistically as "I simply wanted to post a tribute to my father", as if he was being denied his 'civil rights'? It's the way Elie Weisel would introduce himself. And why would someone so inspired by 'patriotism' come here, post a tribute to his father, and go? Should men who praise their father's rugged sacrifice be so hurt by anything less than silk glove treatment? If he comes back and makes his case like a white man, that is without the heartstrings, he will indeed get a big fat apology from me, whether we agree or not. If not, I'll remain confident in my possibly premature assessment. In the meantime of course, we've been as upbraided for behaving defensively as most Americans were as they were taught how unfair to their fellow man their lack of passivity was.

Thanks for the reply, Ruffin.
I don't necessarily disagree with you and you should know that I rarely jump in and say much of anything publicly about the conduct of posters here, unless I think something is getting out of hand. The bottom line is that I do not want this place to become another Free Republic where the slightest ideological deviation posted by some unsuspecting new member is immediately pounced upon, berated and ridiculed by some self-appointed komissars and the new member intimidated from even trying to put forth his or her argument. You know as well as I do that that is no way to win any friends or influence people.
Not that I'm saying that we need to treat anyone with kid gloves (like that would ever be a problem here :) ). Like you said, a poster needs to bring his A game and make a forthright attempt to back-up their posts. I believe that is also a necessary requirement to having a fruitful debate/discussion. Neither extreme is good, but lately I've been seeing the totalitarian/no dissent allowed mindset running a bit too strong and free lately and thought it needed to be addressed. It's the culture distorters and militant Left that tries to shout down its opponents. I like to think our side believes that our position on things stand on their own merit and will win-out in a free exchange I've tried to give here at OD.
The Jeff Head example is really just the latest and most obvious one and that is why I chose it to make the post above.

Ok, since I am the one who "launched the attack" on Jeff Head, I admit that I should have invited Head to debate in History, and should not have mentioned WWII in Current Events.
However, I DID start a thread in History, which was moved back to Current Events.
So, I apologize to Jeff Head.

I apologize for starting this thread. Asking if Mr. Head was a troll was uncalled for.
However, with the likes of churbanowitz and Tommy Rennick spamming this board to end on Hindu supremacy and tatooed skinheads, one can never be too careful.

I have the same reservations about this opening communication, especially coming from the Free Republic Neocon of the Year or whatever the award might be. A point well-taken on your summation of the possible intentions there, but consider also that a white man ought not make a strike whenever the bait is presented. As it turns out the high road became an empty eight-lane expressway for Mr. Head's getaway; this isn't to the credit of those who don't share his bullyho mindset towards Bush Inc. and their stringpullers.
WeisbrotBob says give those who might be trolling around all the line they need, and if it is warranted, haul 'em in at the appropriate time.
On edit: It is becoming apparent that I need either a fishing vacation or a vacation from metaphor...

While I do not see any reason to think of Mr. Head as a troll he is obviously a neo-con and as such supportive of the destruction of the West. While I am glad that PS and Franco have issued retractions in relation to comment they made about Mr. Head I hope that Franco issues such a statement within the thread about Mr. Head's father.
Personally, I do not think that abusive and hostile posters should be permitted here as it shuts down the meaningful exchange of ideas. As such, I'd like to see Rban and TR banned. Mr. Head obviously is very different and we should attempt to treat him (and those like him) with respect so as not to be like those we object to. Hopefully, someone will start a thread to politely obliterate his notions of the Second World War and what conservatism in general means.

Given that you are a German, I admit that you should be given some latitude and understanding on this issue that hits close to home for you. Outside of this specific context, though, I agree with TD that we should always try to give new posters the "benefit of the doubt." I think it says a lot about new posters that they were independent minded enough to locate us and sign up with us.
And we certainly don't want to scare off newcomers, even ones who might not agree with us 100%, or even 60%, of the time. We should keep in mind that although newcomers who sign up here and may not already be full-fledged paleocons or nationalists, if we approach them the right way, they may come further into alignment with us.
First impressions count.

Tom,
I wish there was a way that we could move beyond this to more productive topics.
If you've lurked at OD long enough, you'd know that most OD posters regularly weigh in against the sort of excesses you cite. Surely you've noticed that the particular poster whose avatar you've drawn attention to is in "a class all by himself." Have you seen how most other posters regard that particular poster as being largely unrepresentative of their views?
If anything, though, that poster is an asset because his eccentricities make all the rest of us look quite moderate and reasonable by contrast. It's useful to have a few characters like that around to be able to tell newbies and prospective adherents that we're different, "we're the sane ones." "Extremists" create more ideological space around us for us to work in.
In fact, you've cited Jared Taylor as a positive example for racialists in the public eye. Jared Taylor only looks that "respectable," however, because he can be distinguished from the other "extremists" to his right that you look down upon. But if those "extremists" to Taylor's right did not exist, then Taylor himself would be the one considered "beyond the pale."
You see, it's impossible to win by the rules and standards you advocate, because it will always be possible to find someone even more subdued and genteel. This is because you've weighted the game in favor of the standards that the Left has set out about what the "parameters of permissible dissent" are. You totally buy into the whole "Nazis and Klansmen are evil and must be eschewed" hysteria that the media doles out to the public, and you accept it as a pragmatic, given reality and try to work within it. But why work within it? Why concede--why not try to change it, why not try to expose the smear tactics for what they are?
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, here, too, but while you may be well-meaning about having your fellow WNs clean up their image, you have to realize that you cannot win this game when you let the enemy define what a "clean image" is. As soon as you "purge" the Nazis and Klansmen, the media will just redefine the people who are left into some other "undesirable" category--and the media will keep pushing until you accomodate, and succumb to, multiracialism.
By the way, whenever any "Hollywood Nazis" show up here at OD with those sorts of screen names and avatars, those names are changed (or banned if they don't cooperate with the change) and those sorts of avatars are declared unwelcome. I offer no explanation as to how the Goebbels avatar slipped through. But in my experience here, those sorts of clownish antics are discouraged. The fact that you were able to find that this was not a 100% perfectly "sanitized" cyber-environment means nothing. 95 to 99% compliance still seems pretty good to me.
And generally we're very civil here, and our discussions are quite refined and elevated, despite the occasional "Christian-bashing" thread (coincidentally threads that are initiated or sustained by that same poster with the Goebbels avatar).
Give it up, Tom, you can't slander all of us with the actions of one or two guys. I'm not surprised that you'd try, though, since that's largely what you've done since you arrived here--you've taken the "guilt by association" theme you repetitively tar the WN movement with and applied it to the individuals here as well.
Incidentally, blow up my avatar and you get the precursor to Darth Vader, before he fully turned to the Dark Side. Big whoop.

In a semi-serious tone, I suggest that my OD posts are 1) accurate; 2) not over-the-top; 3) are consistent and necessary for newbies, and serve to remind oldbies; my posts remind all that the onus is not on us, it in on the Jews.
Further on that issue, why are we WNs seen as extremists for pointing out the evil that Jews do? Why is the bad-guy hat on US? If a certain dog poops on your foot, and you point out that that breed of dog does the poop-on-foot thing every week, much more than other dogs, are you "anti-dog?" Nope. Are you "extreme?" Nope. The dog is extreme, but not you.

Rennick did cause a lively discussion of NA, tattoos and skinheads. And on the background of Rennick's hysteria and obsession those guys just seem more decent than before. I guess his plan of reforming WN is working, in the opposite direction.
Just like a Jew troll always trying to browbeat someone with the label of anti-semite, Rennick's picture posting fails to cause the desired reaction and makes him just as mad.

Yes, actually. I haven't written him off yet. He can still be salvaged. I'm a very patient man. And if my efforts don't reach him, maybe they'll be helpful to someone else out there who has the same concerns as he.
At the very least, I feel that there should be some basic attempts to provide the other side of the story. I'll at least balance Rennick out.

Leland Gaunt pointed out that the posters here are often overly timid and I think that is true. I strive to be civil but occassionally some noxious cretin like TR or Rban forces me to be otherwise. With respect to Mr. Head I would not have trouble with pointing out the errors of his ways in even a blunt fashion provided that it was done outside of the thread meant to honour his father. You are perfectly right about the outragous nature of what he said inrespect to Second World War but I doubt that a neo-con such as Mr. Head thought that what he was saying was anything other then just and rightous. Pointing out other wise within the context of the thread he opened seems to me as too likely to promote an emotional outburst from others so misdirected and prevent an exchange of ideas that is productive.
I should tell you that I am rather emotionally involved with the matter of the war as my nation and it's motherland were occupied by the Allies and several members of my family fought and died with the Dansk Freikorps and the resitance movement against allied occupation into early '46. We should point out the grotesqueness of the allies moral posturing when ever they raise the matter but we need to stay focused upon dealing with promoting the current struggle in most effective ways possible.

I would like to remind you what today is considered "insane" once was the most normal thing possible (at least in europe). Before 1945 entire europe thought this way - and not just Nationalsocialists, but also Fascists, clergy, Monarchists and conservatives. My Grandparents were definately not insane for thinking that way and neither were the rest of our people. The only insanety I can see is that of the current diverse, multicultural regimes who are commiting genocide on white Europe. **
I agree with you completely. I was merely attempting to "speak Rennick's language" and work within the confines his own conceptual framework in an effort to persuade him. None of the comments I made should be taken as some sort of Objective Absolute principle I'm laying down for all times and places.
The best way one can avoid taking offense in political forums such as these is to remind oneself "it's only one man's opinion." That ability to emotionally detach oneself and rise above the swirling chaos of the moment is worth its weight in gold.
The only reason I am currently so "moderate" is that I know what the agenda of this forum is and I try to make my comments inside the lines.
Me too. If only more of our fellow posters were as cooperative, politically savvy, and flexible as you and I....

Yeah, it does retain the distinctive AK receiver shape and safety selector.
I like the integral bipod, the ambi bolt handle, the front sight on the gas tube, and the 35 round mag. Also, the iron sights remain useful when a scope is installed offset to the left.

Well, here's one that everybody sees, every time Franco posts: [img]http://www.shoa.de/pictures/p_joseph_goebbels.jpg[/img] It appears enlarged, but it's the same photo-avatar that Mr. Franco uses every time he posts. Please re-read your above words ("I don't see any swastikas...") while simultaneously eye-balling the Nazi swastika on Herr Goebbels arm band. **
Very good Tommy! You spotted one minscule, almost unnoticeable swastika on someone's avatar! Good for you! And to think that 1 member, out of 470 has a picture of an NS official as his avatar! Well, slap my ass and call me Hitler, I guess we better rechristen this board to something more appropriate like, say, NSDAP Forums, or Dachau Forums :rolleyes:

You erroneously conflate "Nazi" with "racialist." I'm a "racialist", I guess.
Although I prefer the term "nationalist" in its Catholic sense, but I'll accept "racialist" for lack of a better term.
The Nazis were German jingoists who treated other whites so bad that they actually made them prefer the rule of the Jewish Bolsheviks. I have no use for them, and they have no place in any movement I would ever be a part of.
Texas Dissident, our most gracious host, is a Christian like me and like many others on this forum. Our own dear neo-Nazis hold us Christians in comparatively low regard, asserting that our Most Holy Faith is weak and ineffectual in comparison to their own vaunted Nazism of yore. This even as Christians pounded the real Nazis into a greasy little spot, but dealing with reality on reality's terms was never a Nazi strong suit, and it is no doubt a forlorn hope to expect anything more from their latter-day Wannabees.
So, yes, I do find the increasing frequency with which the Nazi excrescence sullies this otherwise Christian board "alarming," but I'm just an humble guest here with no natural right to complain.
I therefore fall into a respectful silence, and wish all of my brothers and sisters here a very pleasant weekend.

Don't feel bad Mr. Yannis ;) , I get to deal with National Socialists or their descendants ( Modern day NS ) pretty much everyday. Yes, as a rule, most, but not all NS have a low regard for Christianity. But, I have examined their views and find most NS do not stand against White Christianity, but like us, are opposed to the Apostate, Judeo-Christian church.
The Judeo-Christian churches preach tolerance and self hate/shame. They also preach and teach that Jews are the chosen. ALL Judeo-Christian churches follow and serve a god of integration. When they are in disagreement with what the Holy Bible clearly states as fact, Judeo-Christian churches will distort God's Holy Word in order to fulfill the Apostate indoctrination process. :angry:
I am against the current Apostate church and its teachings, even as the modern day NS are against the Apostate church.
No, I am not a preacher, but I am a Christian witness to facts found in God's Holy Word. I appreciate Christians such as yourself Mr. Yannis, that are concerned about other White nationalists disregard for Our Heavenly Father, but all will come to fear Him in the end. :)

If you do not fear God, then why should you care about what he thinks or commands?
When one lives under fear, they are more than likely to obey the Word of the one that they fear to start with.
When one does not fear danger or consequences brought about careless actions, then that one can easily make ill advised decisions concerning their personal relationship with their creator.
Those that do not fear God, end up making bad career choices most of the time.
God does not suffer fools. I have no desire to kindle the wrath of a Holy God that can make one's existence a painful,living hell for all eternity. :(
People have the right to choose whatever kind of spiritual path they decide to tread. I can just as easily respect your choices as well. :)

*Originally posted by madrussian@Jun 27 2003, 23:53 * ** Are there animals in heaven? **
Seriously, Here is what is indicated:
Revelation 21
- And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
- And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
- And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
- And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
- And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
- And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
- He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
We see in verse 5 that God makes all things new. Verse 4 indicates that the former is passed away.
Starting at verse 8, we find the order of the individuals that will be cast into the lake of fire. Starting with the Cowards...
- But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
- And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
- And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
- Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
- And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
- On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
- And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
- And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
- And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
- And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
- And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
- And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
- The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
- And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
- And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
- And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
- And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
- And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
- And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
- And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Absolutely untrue. While race is a valid distinction in temporal matters, at the foot of the Cross it just does not exist.
Acts 8:26-40
26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the road--the desert road--that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." 27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet. 29 The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it." 30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked. 31 "How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ so he did not open his mouth. 33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ Who can speak of his descendants? ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ For his life was taken from the earth." 34 The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?" 35 Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. 36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?" 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

**You are reversing the normal procedure. I think you have to prove first that heaven and hell exist and then we have to proof that it doesn't. Prove that there are angles, saints, a "holy spirit", demons, witches.
It's like asking for us to prove that no unicorns, minotaurs, gargoyles or elfes exist. Since we can't, I guess they must exist**
Thanks for saving me the typing. :D It is indeed more reasonable to put the burden of proof on believers. You can't prove ANYTHING doesn't exist.
Please prove the ONEEYEDONEHORNEDFLYINPURPLEPEOPLEEATER doesn't exist, scientifically of course.
It would be comforting to find just ONE freakin agnostic or even atheistic Christian, who simply follows the laws because he likes them and finds them beneficial.
I don't hate Christians, honest, I like them better than any other religious types, and better than most atheists or agnostics. At least the average Christian has a moral center. It's just depressing to me that most people need a vengeful, loving God to put them in their place. It's depressing that 99.9% of humanity is as afraid of death as it is.
The biggest problem I have with Christianity is its obsession with the next world. There is no bloomin next world. We have to do what we can with this life we are given, not sit around waiting for the one we won't be getting when we die. At least Judaism recognizes this.

Absolutely untrue. While race is a valid distinction in temporal matters, at the foot of the Cross it just does not exist.
What about "thy kingdom come, thy will be done, [u]on Earth, as it is in Heaven.[/u]"
So "racism" is ok on Earth, but not in Heaven? Why even create different races in the first place? :huh:

Texas Dissident, I am glad that you pointed that particular instance out,: KJV 1611 Acts 8 26. And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27. And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28. Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31. And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 32. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33. In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 34. And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35. Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37. And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
- And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
- And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
- But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
This was a test for Philip, to see what he would do with God's Blessing. Why did "the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip,..." ? Philip was not allowed to finish the baptism. You and I both know that when you rise up out of the water, the baptism is not finished yet. Both of our versions indicate a quickly halted baptism.
Jesus indicated who he came here for in Matthew:
Matthew 15
- Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
- And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
- But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
[color=blue]You see?, this "woman of Canaan", approached Jesus and He IGNORED her at first. Then, Jesus told her that He did not come here for her or her kind. Jesus came here for the descendants of Adam.[/color]
- But he answered and said,[color=red] I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.[/color]
- Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
[color=blue]Even here, this colored, cannanite woman worshipped Jesus, but to no avail...[/color]
- But he answered and said, [color=red]It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.[/color]
[color=blue]Jesus called this colored, cannanite , this negress, a dog. Jesus knows that negroes are not equal to the descendants of Adam, and HE NEVER CHANGES HIS POSITION.[/color]
- And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
[color=blue]Here is where the negress acknowledges her rightful place in the world, BELOW the descendants of Adam, ( White Race - Israel ) and in so doing, she will be rewarded for her efforts.[/color]
- Then Jesus answered and said unto her,[color=red] O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. [/color]And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
- And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
[color=blue]Jesus came here for ONLY the White Adamic race. He did not come here for the lost sheep of Africa. He did not come here for the lost sheep of Mexico. He came here for the lost sheep of Israel, the White Adamic Race. All other creatures can worship Jesus, but His Blessing is for the White race ONLY.[/color]

Amen to that.
To paraphrase Schwietzer, the Negro is my brother in Christ, but circumstances indicated that God made him my little brother, at least here on Earth.
Not my fault, all complaints must be addressed to the Creator. That's the Natural Law, and I had absolutely nothing to do with the adoption and promulgation of that Code.
And I certainly can't say what situation will apply in the Hereafter, but given the Creator's apparent preference for "first shall be last, last shall be first" paradoxes, I think it wise not to lord over Negroes our higher IQ's and other advantages here on this Earthly plane. A small amount of indulgent kindness toward them, while of course maintaining the natural order, is an important hedge of our cosmic bets, IMHO.
We are all one in Christ, after all. We share a common humanity that transcends our sexual, national and racial divisions.
As St. Paul said, there is no Greek nor Jew, no male nor female, no slave nor free in relation to God's free and benificent gift of Christ Jesus, His Son.
Call me a screaming liberal, call me a misty eyed dreamer, but I believe that there is also no gay nor straight, no black nor white nor Chinaman nor Chicano, in regard to the ability of all to find God and to achieve salvation through God's free gift of His Son.
That's because God's gift of Christ came from outside Nature. The Transcendent reached in from the Outside in the Person of Christ, and thus Salvation in Christ Jesus is not subject to Nature's laws, for Nature is itself is the handiwork of the Father of Jesus.
But that said, there are males and females, Jews and Greeks, blacks and whites, gays and straights in regard to everything else, for everything else is governed by the Natural Law, a Code that we all remain subject to in every other respect.
That means that in regard to all other matters, females may not rule males; negroes may not rule whites (and I think vice versa); gays may not mock marriage with sodomy, or become the teachers and mentors of children; and Jews and Greeks (and the rest of us) must have their own nations, "in our families, with our languages, in our lands, in our nations."
It means a lot more, besides.
I'll end with that.
Thanks, Tex.

Thanks for outlining some of the more virulent dangers of Christianity. It is precisely Saul and his "there is neither Jew nor Greek" that troubles me about the good book.

Hmmm, this thread is going in a direction of a different forum. I 'll refer some religious issues for the Christianity forum. B)
However, one's fear of God cannot be misplaced. If God indicates or says, do this, or don't do this, I will not count on Salvation and Love to cover misleading others in spiritual matters. There are many, many warnings concerning God's way and how it is presented.
Racemixing and the tolerance of it leads down a destructive path. Homosexuality and the tolerance of it leads down a destructive path. Allowing non-whites into an all White church leads down a destructive path. Here is a very good verse that applies to all: Galatians 6 7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
It is wise to understand that what is literal in God's Word, was placed there for us to take at face value. :)

I agree with that, as did nearly all Christians until very recently.
Heck, you don't even have to be a Christian to see that race mixing is bad for "nations" - a basic biology textbook and a bit of reflection should suffice for that.
I agree with you about the authority of things clearly spelled out in Scripture, but we Catholics (and Orthodox) have an additional source of authority in Holy Tradition.
Regards,
Walter

That would be when the Christian church became the Judeo-Christian church, circa 1946 or 1948? :(
We do live in a trying time, of that there is no doubt. It would be nice to turn back the clock, before Jews perverted the church with communist indoctrination and those idiots embraced "Diversity" and "Multi-culturalism".
That is not happening on a nationwide scale though.
Each and everyone of us aware Christians has to approach our respective denominations and confront our "Pastors" with words straight out of the Bible that they hold up as the Word of God when church starts the regular Sunday morning service. It will be up to us to continue our efforts to get our preachers to stand in front of the whole congregation at the podium and say, "Racemixing is a sin!". "God does not allow it or tolerate those that do". Only when a preacher is willing to announce this in front of his congregation, will real change be allowed to occur. :th:
