Could you please forgive us

[backontrack]

And while you're busy with ancesteral atonement and forgiveness, could you get on your knees and THANK GOD EVERY DAY that you're fortunate enough to be in America?

Admitting all the evils of slavery and abuse of the Indians, for which God judged this nation, can you still thank God you're not in Africa, killing and eating everybody who doesn't belong to your tribe or village? Can you thank God that America has given you the opportunity for a better life? Even if you're poor in America, you're living better than 99% of the people in Africa!

Can you thank God you're not moving place to place in a teepee, exposed to the sport of the whims of nature to such an extent that your life expectancy is only 35? Can you thank God that instead of worshipping various demons, you can learn about Jesus Christ....ALL THANKS TO THE EUROPEANS?

Lenoard you said this!

Even if you're poor in America, you're living better than 99% of the people in Africa! What are you going to do sit back and do nothing? Please God forgive me!

Forgivness goes a long way, think about it

I have. I'm deleting my post. It was a knee-jerk response and not very kind.

Peace,

I owe no one an apology, much less do I feel it necessary to ask for forgivenes for something I didn't do. I am 27 years old, I was born into a world of Equal Opportunity employment, Affirmative Action (which I am not "qualified" for), NAACP and their discriminatory scholarships, etc. The civil rights movement had already happened and everyone was allowed to go to the same schools, restrooms and water fountains. But, everything that the Dr. worked for is reversing itself. Do you think my child would be safe if he/she tried to attend an inner city school with predominantly AA students? What about the "poets" that write songs about hatred, sex, drugs, murder, violence, crime?

Our country has given so much to those whose families were oppressed. If you still have a problem, take it up with the government, I owe you nothing.

Your exactally right the civil rights movement has already happened! Our nation has done everything except apologise. That' why we have all this hatred! Our country has given so much to those whose families were oppressed (your words) Except forgive us, oh God are so blind!

Man

There may not even be anyone in my past ancestory that did anything. God is leading me to do this and It will be done as he speaks to me. This will land on hearing ears and the deaf will mock it.

Look, your intentions my be good, but I don't need anyone pleading with the whiteman on my behalf.

You want to do a good work.....shut down those 4 liquor stores in Whiteclay.

I think that issue is a little more pressing then digging up the past.

What prevents you from doing this? Do you have an ear, do I not speak what God puts on my heart. Healing starts with forgivness. The work begins in the heart and our hearts are sick!

I don't know about anyone else here but I have no idea what God puts on your heart.

How many times do we have to apologize for slavery before the healing begins?

How many times do we have to apologize for almost wiping out the indian nation before the healing begins.

When you speak of a "sick heart", please don't include me in this because you have no idea the contents of my heart.

Whiteclay in right down the road from you and you know the situation far better then I. Instead of trying to save the world in one big piece, maybe you should start closer to home.

Forgive me, I did not mean your heart! The wounded heart is sick and needs healing and that's the kind of people we are dealing with here. The beer is just a symptom but the wounds go much deeper then that and if you remember God has forgiven us our trespasses and sins and he want
