Hearing and Doing!

Righteousness and Justification?

For hundreds of years the Jews were caught in a legalistic trap and they have maintained that now for the last two thousand years, since they are blinded by God so that the Gentiles might come into faith.

We who are saved under grace must be aware of legalism creeping into our walk with Jesus, but I think this verse, gives to us the answer and if we do, what we hear from the word of God we are doing well.

Discipline in the Christian life/walk is invaluable, but let us keep the application of doing right in relation to the commandments?

Exodus 20:1-17, Romans 2:13, Galatians 2:16-17.

Do Black lives really Matter?

White society has a recent problem with European slavery from Africa to the Caribbean and the Americas from 1618 to 1880 and its is a subject that even Christians try at their best to avoid or excuse instead of facing up to it and dealing with racism today in both N-America, the U.K., France and Australia!

But when we read and study the Holy Bible slavery was a common practice amongst all nations of the ancient world and God was always looking out for those poor people and their dire situations?

Another thing about slavery is that it remains rife even today within Islamic culture and several other races, we term it domestic servitude, county-lines, prostitution, trafficking and the exploitation of the vulnerable!

Attitude plays the most important part in racism and Christians are not exempt, if more prone to hold such views which seriously contradict John 3:16? This one verse is more controversial because it has become an excuse to deny salvation to some, of white peoples choosing depending where in the world they are?

Matthew 10:22, Romans 11:26, 1 Corinthians 10:33, 2 Thessalonians 2:10, Jude 1:5, Revelation 18:13.
