Many of Poles are saying that they believe in Jesus Christ and go to church on Sunday. But the vast majority of them hate me because I'm not a Pole. They don't care about a follower of Jesus Christ if he is not a Pole. And they love a Pole even if he is an atheist. Why should I believe a word they say?

Is this why You have shown it to me? I am willing if Your answer is yes... if no then I thank You for showing me this and I will work on not having that error myself for Your Glory! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. "If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?" - 1 John 4:20 We were called to love our enemies, how much more our brothers and sisters. "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you" - Matthew 5:44 Glory to God! Amen. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone believes in Jesus and attends church does not make them a Christian. Even the devil believes in Jesus. Quote But the vast majority of them hate me because I'm not a Pole. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. 1 John 2:9 So the answer is no. You can not be a Christian and hate another Christian. Quote They don't care about a follower of Jesus Christ if he is not a Pole. It shows what their first love is, and it does not seem to be Jesus. 1 hour ago, Ogner said: Why should I believe a word they say? I do not know.

Hi Ogner, You're being confronted with the question, are those people really saved? Maybe some are and this is error or they may be extremely spiritually immature. You are always going to wrestle with this. I have people in my extended family who claim to be saved and yet they dislike me and hold silly grudges. We have to remember that Jesus said our path would be difficult, not easy. There must be some Poles who aren't prejudiced aren't there. I wouldn't try to associate with prejudice people. IMO they probably aren't truly saved anyway. They will just drag you down, they can't help you grow in the Lord. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we favor race , even our own over another race , that is the love of the flesh . When we prioritize skin color that is love of the flesh . examples of churches and people gone wrong . White churches that focus on white issues Black churches that focus on black issues Hispanic churches that , getting the point . These churches have lost the true cause . In this world all christains no matter of skin tone will suffer things. To exalt or put any group UP or another down is evil vile and of satan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how you made no excuse for the sin or sinner . just simply reminded its evil period. Many today always try and over think something so as perhaps not to seem to be judging or mean. But the early church as JESUS , were right to the point . This is so needful . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the statement of the day, Steven. We have to go the way the Lord leads us. And we can only change ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us also remember not to dwell on the evil done against us either . We too have done great evil against both man and God and yet in mercy sake by grace alone were called out of that evil darkness and into HIS LIGHT . So let us simply realize that all mankind is evil and that ONLY GOD is GOOD and thus let us forgive others as we for CHRISTS sake alone are forgiven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
