Discrimination

[Whyme]

I feel discriminated against by certain people. They dont seem to have a conscience either. It really bothers me.  Am i not in good company though? The Lord was discriminated against by such people. Forgive them because they know not not what they do.

[Hopefully]

Amen Whyme. Isn’t it wonderful that we get to be treated wrongly just as Jesus was and react in the same way he did saying forgive them. 
For me this rings true at my job. It would ring true here too if I fed into it but since I choose to ignore some comments there is no dialogue for me to feel discriminated against. I am glad we don’t break the TOS by choosing not to reply.

Yes, we are in good company.

I will just reply that my having been one or more minorities at any given moment in my life depending on where I was at the time, I am very familiar with the prejudice, discrimination and other harms and dangers from those who base their beliefs on an individual based solely on a certain group of which that individual belongs. 

And according, I also know that in those same locations, those who look at an individual and are not biased toward a particular group whatever it might be, have been wonderful, kind, loving and helpful people. 

Therefore, my advice is to get to know a wide range of different people and look for things that you have in common.  And, that doesn't just mean limiting yourself to Christians.  I have been places where Christians were a very small minority, and some of the wonderful, kind, loving people mentioned above represented several different religions as well as those who had no religion. 

We need to focus on the individual.  We also need to focus more on others and less on ourselves.  

Scriptures, according to the Apostle Paul, say we have no fellowship with unbelievers. We are called to be separate from them. Sure we can do good for them but ultimately there is no agreement between them and us. So im unsure why you seem to be saying the opposite. Is Paul broad brushing all unbelievers?

The answer is, no, I didn't hide under a rock.  I lived in areas where there were almost no Christians.  I had non Christian friends, neighbors, coworkers, bosses etc. It's called life.  It's called reality.  It's also a way for you to serve as a role model for nonbelievers.  You can serve as a witness.  We are called to help bring other to Him.

Is Paul broad brushing all unbelievers then?

Are you against missionaries? Aren't we all supposed to try and bring others to Jesus? 

You still didnt answer my question. Is Paul broad brushing all unbelievers?
