Admin	Racist and prejudice believers!? Posted : 13 Sep, 2015 11:00 AM Today as I was looking through the cdff profiles I ran across a profile that talked about how she wanted a man of God, how loving she was etc, but at the end of her profile she says... "If your black, african, from Turkey etc. Don't bother messaging me"... I've found that many users here are predudiced against others...not just ppl of color like myself. It's unfair and of poor taste to consider your brother or sister in messiah as unexceptable for compatability or love because of race, color, or faith.... .but maybe that's why most of us are divorced, single, and can't find love... Well its your bussiness anyway... Shalom:waving: Post Reply
Hisjoymypeace View Profile History	Racist and prejudice believers!? Posted : 13 Sep, 2015 04:01 PM My brother...I feel you! I've seen that as a part of some of the profiles of men here too! You know, I personally don't have a problem with what someone's "preference" is when it comes to the race or ethnic background of a potential suitor...but that's just it, it should be a preference, not "set in stone" or nothing at all! We as believers should be open minded to The Lord's leading as to who HE desires our help mate to be...whether that's a soul rapped in skin color that's black, white, red, yellow or brown! Just my opinion... Post Reply
Bly7the6 View Profile History	Racist and prejudice believers!? Posted : 15 Sep, 2015 10:41 PM Although I am Asian, I can actually relate to what you're saying. I sometimes come across a well-written profile and at the end it says: not ladies from the Philippines or some Asian country. Sometimes it's at the first paragraph or beginning of a sentence. Initially, I found it offensive, prejudice even, but I eventually got over it and later on realize that I cannot dictate a person's preference. Move on, maybe those people are not meant for you anyway and it's just God's way of saving you from another heartache. Post Reply

Posted : 16 Sep, 2015 09:17 AM I don't think people can be called racist here if they simply express their preference or their lack of interest in some country or skin color. for example I found an asian lady who want white man only and other who will answer to only men from her country or city.... God created us different so everyone can find what he like :prayingm: Post Reply
View Profile History	Racist and prejudice believers!? Posted : 18 Sep, 2015 06:11 AM Racism is hardly the only reason to stick to a specific spectrum or potential partners. Most people are simply not attracted to most other races the way they are to their own, more tribal instinct than anything else maybe. The descendants of Noah's three sons were destined to live alongside each other but separately after all is also something to consider. Some men like long woman, some like dark woman, some just like woman. This is about taste not dislike... also there are obvious practical reasons for sticking to your own "tribe". Post Reply

CarlAHartwell View Profile History	Racist and prejudice believers!? Posted : 12 Oct, 2015 09:21 PM I mostly agree with Hisjoymypeace on this one, I will admit that my tenancy is to find a certain 'type' of lady attractive as far as appearance goes. But I know that I also used to find cigarettes, cannabis, alcohol and pornography attractive as well, so what do I know! My point is not that we cannot find a help meet physically attractive, but rather that it is not of primary importance, we may have preferences as HisJoy said, but Gods will for us is of paramount importance. We should be as open as his Spirit allows us to be, and should always be asking him if 'this is his will'...always! Just quickly in response to Rambo919; My Brother, your thoughts on this sound very much of the world, are you a believer in evolution as well by any chance? Brother, we are now inheritors of the kingdom of heaven (1Pe 1:3,4), we are sons and daughters of God (Ro 8:14) and are all members of the same body (Ro 12:4). We are, as Godsjude rightly said, of the 12 tribes of israel, no other tribes are important to us! Since we are born again of the spirit, crucified with Christ and live only by the faith of the Son of God (Ga 2:20), there is no reason to see our physical differences as a barrier like some of the gentiles do. We are a peculiar people. (De 26:18, Titus 2:14) Post Reply

Posted : 10 Nov, 2015 01:00 AM Yeah I used to go out with a white Christian guy too...long before I joined this site and the looks and comments I used to get from most white people were very rude and immature..its true people are racist also on this site I have seen it even towards simple friendship......and I am also not a fan of racism it doesn't make sense at all....wether black or white we are all the same there wont be any special preference when it comes to GOD.

Marcouse View Profile History	Racist and prejudice believers!? Posted : 27 Nov, 2015 03:34 PM It's not racism that is the underlying problem but neurosis. Modern life teaches us this as soon as we are born, our parents pass their ideals onto us, then far too many years of education absorbing other peoples ideas and ideals, and then there is religion which teaches other sets of ideals that need to be achieved to get to that place in life we are all trying to reach to be successful in life and as Christians. If we could all just live life for a while without all these lists of things we need to have and prove so that we can study the truth and find out what God really wants things would be easier. A true Christian has nothing to prove only truth by living according to Gods word. To live any other way breaks the third commandment of taking on the Lords name in vain, which a person calling themselves a Christian is doing if they don't live it. Me personally am not bothered about race etc but I do draw the line at inefficient use of the English language, communication is important to me so I wouldn't want to be with someone that I couldn't efficiently do that with. I'm not bothered about being single really, I like my free time and found in the past that trying to live up to someone else's ideals limits my mental capacity to effectively study and understand God's word. The right woman with the right attitude towards life would be great but anything less would be detrimental to me spiritually. Someone who goes to church and calls themselves a Christian is not enough, I'd need obvious evidence in their whole life that they are living for God and not doing Christianity or looking for a man just to fulfil their own neurotic ideas they feel they need to achieve to be a complete person. First they need to be complete and submitted to God, if you can't sustain a proper relationship with him what chance is their with another person who is weak and susceptible to sin? Post Reply
View Profile History	Racist and prejudice believers!? Posted : 2 Jan, 2016 09:33 PM Honestly I can see why one would think this way. When it come to ones personally and believes there ethnic background can play a big role in that. The same goes for what country they come from. And manny people just don't what to bother trying to see if something will work or not. I my self would most likely not be all to interested in someone from Africa or Southern Asia or the Middle East. Being African Asian or Arab has nothing to do with it for me but rather has to do with were they are from. And let's all be honest, we all have are own outward preferences. Some have to do with race.

View Profile History	Racist and prejudice believers!? Posted : 17 Jan, 2016 06:39 AM Christianity teaches that everyone is equal in the eyes of God. Therefore there is no reason to treat people differently. Christian teaching about other people is based on love and this is stated by Jesus: I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. John 13:34 While we have to recognize that there are differences among people on account of race, class, ethnicity, language, and the like, such differences are not to justify segregation or exclusion; instead, they are to strengthen and encourage. Whilst, people who have preferences when it comes to dating, we have to understand as to their why's, Anyway, White could be the best for someone and Black could be the best for other, there are no contradiction here, so long that we choose to follow God's will in our life..
