We need another sacrificial lamb

The sacrifice that needs to be made is not a new Jesus being black, white or any other color to suit any race as a Galilean Semite's color of skin is an olive color in whom Jesus was born into a Galilean family and this would have been the color of His skin here on earth. The sacrifice that needs to be made is for all no matter the color of their skin to humble themselves and turn back to God. 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Hate started with Cain who killed his brother Abel out of jealousy. Hate entered the hearts of man as they have harden their hearts towards one another and against God claiming unfair injustice against them because of the color of their skin. It's not the color of the skin, but that of a generational hate that has built itself up through all the different cultural nationalities in every generation. History is history and no one today should be held accountable for what has happened in the past. Everyone is given equal rights and the same chance to better their life no matter the color of their skin or where they come from, but yet many play the pity me jump on the racial bandwagon claiming the world owes them something. Yes, there is racial injustice in this world by the hands of ignorant uncaring people as it's within every race of men.

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow
Black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children
Of the world

Jesus died for all the children
All the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow
Black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus died for all the children
Of the world.

Jesus rose for all the children
All the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow
Black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus rose for all the children
Of the world
 
But....Then they say what they are racist about
 
For those of us in Christ, race is a non-issue;

Act 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
Act 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

(Act 10:28) And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Jer 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

(Psa 68:31) Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

Act 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
Act 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
Act 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
Act 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Act 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Act 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
Act 8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
Act 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Act 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
Act 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
Act 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Act 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

Great scripture and will add this.

Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Act 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
 
I'm not sinful but, ....aren't we Christians better than the rest?

Christians who have touched by the Holy Spirit are far superior to others. But many who call themselves Christian are not Holy. They can study the Bible, but not heed its word. They can go to church but go home and be cruel. You know a tree by its fruit. If you have been touched by the Holy Spirit you will feel love for others even if they have wronged you or no matter what race or gender or culture they come from. One of most important stories in the Bible when it comes to race is the good Samaritan. The Samaritans were not just another culture they were considered a different race hated by the Jews.
 
Christians who have touched by the Holy Spirit are far superior to others.

Sorry, but I can not agree with this statement as even though we are Spiritually born again from above and indwelled with the Holy Spirit it does not make us superior to others as being superior also brings the sense of human arrogance of thinking we are more important then others. everyone is important, but not everyone knows the abilities they have within them. Christians who have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit are blessed of God, but also His servants unto others by the good works He started within us. A light shines in darkness, not superior to the darkness, but shines light upon it.
 
I was humble enough to call myself Humble Soul. That automatically makes me humble doesn't it?
 
I appreciate your humility. I'm 71 years old and I have known a lot of people in my life. And the only ones who have really been kind to me have been touched by the Holy Spirit. Maybe superior was wrong word. Let's just say they're nicer and they care more about others. Take care
 
Some event needs to occur. Maybe white people as a race need to suffer more. So we know how it feels to be treated as inferior.
Maybe it's our turn to feel like second class citizens. Otherwise we will never feel empathy. Just stay blind and deaf.
I'm trying to go through a change myself. To address my own racism. Not that I meet black people in real life. Still I need to improve my attitude. I might not like Black Lives Matter but I have to admit racism exists and can't be ignored. Start with myself.
Some of the things you have said are questionable. I do not see people as race but as people, some of my darkest moments came from black people, and some of my best moments in life came from a white people Muslims give me the most grief in my personal life, but they are the most likely to hire me, and actually pay me for my work. I work for a mixed race woman at the moment, although i might not have my job anymore, although i have been put on furlough. Only time will tell, i am already finding my next job, as of last week. I am a 33 year old black man by the way. Anything is possible and don't limit yourself because of race. We all are the same when we shed our skin.
