Do you have a direct line to Jesus that none of the rest of us have?? C'mon, use your noggin' man. You gotta be smarter than that.

HEY i am not racist, all i am saying is that it DONT look right when a black man is a coal miner. there are PLENTY of other jobs they can do, they dont need to be taking coal mining jobs since Christian americans found mines and discovered how to mine it.
I also think a growing girl should see a man's penis to avoid becoming lesbian. me and all my friends do it to their daughters and granddaughters...Pat Buchanan, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Larry Craig and the late Rev Jerry Falwell, a great Christian leader
Africans have been mining just as long as us, countless minerals, but most expensive, diamonds. Namely in Sierra Leone. I only see white men profiting from that. You should really pull your closed mind out of your hind end and take a look around. Believe what ever you choose, it's your right as an American, but don't put down the men who risk their lives to power the computer you spout your garbage from. BTW they all come out of there looking black, no difference at the end of the day. And not all of the coal miners in the US are Christians.

I won't even bother with trying to teach you about the science of human evolution.

I will however tell you that some of the most loyal friends that I've ever had the priveledge of knowing were black.

<quoted text>
the Old Testament is null and void? Ahahhahahaa! what a joke! thats blasphemy you foolish little girl! i would like to teach you ONE on ONE the proper way God meant people to treat their bodies
when Christ died on the cross, the new law came into effect, thus making the old law null and void. it is important for us to remember the old laws and the word of God that came about before the death of the Christ, but we are to follow the laws set forth in the new testament. The old testament held that Heaven and salvation were only for the Jewish people. I'm sure there's no way that you are not and cannot prove that you are of 100% Jewish ancestry, I say this mainly because if you were, you would not call yourself a man of Christ, because the Jewish religion does not recognize Christ as the Messiah. The word of God was not preached to the Gentiles, so you my friend would have no chance of salvation. There are numerous laws and practices in the old testament that I highly doubt you practice. I doubt you make sacrifices, worship the Sabbath, or many more of the more intense teachings of the old law. So, you my friend, by practicing part of the old law and not it in it's entirety, are the one blaspheming, which in the New Testament, is the only unforgiveable sin. I can argue the Bible with you all day, if thats really a fight you want to start, but I doubt it is.

By the way, I'm still waiting on chapter and verse to support your and Mr. Dobson's statements.

p.s. what does "teaching me how God meant for people to treat their bodies" have anything to do with black coal miners. your statement there kind of creeps me out. I'm sure you would love some one on one time with me, but you're not that lucky. lol!

Keeping the topic real. The REAL James Dobson does not believe or teach all the crap that has been posted on here.
As for the old testament being null and void, I get your point Tessa, but I think Christ was the fulfillment of the Old Testament. After all, when the old covenant was made with Abraham, scripture states it was an everlasting covenant. I guess we are getting down to the nitty gritty, but you are mostly right in your statement but not 100%.

Christ fulfilled the Old Testament, he "in Spirit not body" was with God and the Holy Ghost from the beginning of time as part of the Holy Trinity. What I am saying is that after he came to Earth in human form and when he died on the cross, the teachings of the Old Testament went away, and from that point on, we were to follow his teachings of the new Testament. But the teachings and following of Christ never appeared in the Old Testament. The "ManofChrist" said I needed to be educated in the Old Testament laws, and I just reminded him that if he was a faithful believer in the Old Testament himself, he wouldn't call himself a Man of Christ, a better fitting name might be Man of God.

I have to stand with Tessa here. I'm a rabid student of all religions, love to learn about them all! But this is my opinion on this subject. The laws and issues in the Old Testament were given to the Jews from God. I have to leave asap or I'd go further into! If I am wrong, let me know! I love to talk about religion!

This angers me to no end. Of all the things that people find to be racist in regards too, this is by far one of the most absurd.
In our so called Christain nation, shouldn't we want the best for everyone and want everyone to have equal opportunities. Do black people not deserve the right to earn a living for themselves? I am sure that on some other posts you have commented about how black people are lazy and worthless or some other bullshit and now here you are condemning them for working. You are a racist ignorant bastard who has the intelligence of the shit that is on the bottom of my shoes. How many "white christian families" out there dont work and sit back on their asses and draw checks and live off the tax payers money, and guess what some of those are black taxpayers? Shouldn't they be ashamed.
The "White" man came to this country and stole from the native tribes who were here, infested their people with diseases, and claimed the land for their own, when indeed it was not. At that time neither the white man nor the native americans knew that the coal was there, or that it would become such an important resource. It was years later when the processes of coal excavation would begin in the United States. And if you knew your "coal history" you would know that black men were in the mines from the beginning. Often because they were the only ones willing to work in the horrible conditions. They knew from the beginning that they had to do what they could to provide for their families and were willing to do the work the "white man" considered too dangerous. They worked in worse conditions, for longer hours, with less pay, and were major components in making the coal industry into what it is today. So get your facts straight before you start running your uneducated mouth.
A black man has just as much right as anyone else to work in the coal mines. I respect any man or woman that goes to work everyday to provide for themselves and their families. Especially if they go to work in the coal mines. The danger that they face on a day to day basis is so great that no one that hasn't wroked in the mines has the ability to fully comprehend it. Who the hell are you to say that the jobs in the mines weren't created by God for black people? They, as all other jobs, were created for anyone willing to work, maybe thats something you need to try sometime.
In conclusion, my best friend's husband is black and he works in the coal mines 6-7 days a week. And honestly, he is not my favorite person in the world, not because he is black, but for other unrelated reasons. But I have a sense of respect for him because he is truly one of the hardest working men I have ever known. He leaves before daylight every morning, and returns home of the evening, where he continues to work outside his house doing whatever needs to be done. He provides for his wife and kids everything that they need and want and would help anyone that asked for it. And you have the balls to say he doesn't have a right to his job. I wish you would say that to his face, I know he would educate you very quickly. As you sit your ass in front of your computer and tell me that he doesn't have the God-given right to work in the coal mines, simply because of the color of his skin, I have only one last remark: Thats a bunch of horse shit and may God have mercy on your ignorant soul.
Couldn't of said it any better!! great job girl!!

are u retarted whites have no more right to anything then some one that's black, red,or brown. Look at what u said if u think about it Jesus wasn't white so by your thinking Jesus dosent deserve to own anything bc he no white I bet it u look your history up your not fully white yourself so by your own thinking you don't deserve anything. Being saved has nothing to do with color. Agian bye your own word Jesus couldn't save anyone b/c he's not white.
Do u see how dumb u sound ?

Why wouldn't you want a black miner to work beside you. Didn't you know that the reason blck men are so much stronger and are generally larger than white men is because they were bred to be so. They were bred to be hard workes and have more muscle and strength so that they could get more work out of them. Why do you think all f us nice self respecting Christian white women love them so much. They were bred to be the perfect pecimen of man, I personally love my black miner husband and wouldn't dream of leaving him for any man let alone a white man. Purely my own opinion, but it is an educated one.
