Moderators Bravus Posted March 9, 2010 Moderators Posted March 9, 2010 What is stereotyping? Applying the negative actions of a few members of a group to all members of that group if the group is perceived as being different from oneself. We ascribe the negative actions of people like us to the individuals, and the negative actions of people unlike us to the group. The people in America who perpetrate unthinkable abuse on their children are bad people. The Muslims who cut off heads are Muslims. Quote Truth is important
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted March 9, 2010 Members Posted March 9, 2010 Yes, those poor misunderstood Muslims. You'll notice I said it was a "fluke"... Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

Oh, by all means, let us spread the gospel to the Muslims no matter how much it costs. They are such wonderful people. “People who are well do not need a doctor, but only those who are sick. 13 Go and find out what is meant by the scripture that says: ‘It is kindness that I want, not animal sacrifices.’ I have not come to call respectable people, but outcasts.” Mt 9:12-13 GNT Quote
Members phkrause Posted March 9, 2010 Members Posted March 9, 2010 Amelia very good post, and I wouldn't say that it was off topic, I'd say it was pretty much on topic. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

Well, they DO get kidney stones. But they know about Jesus. And the SDA converts are such sweet people. They go by what the Bible says instead of the Quran.

Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted March 9, 2010 Members Posted March 9, 2010 Muslims have a lot of kidney stones due to the sand in their food. I worked for the first US Transplant Team that went over to King Faisal Hospital to set up their Kidney Transplant Program. The Muslims know about Jesus. So, what did you think I meant, Gail?

But those poor people just didn't understand what they were doing.. cutting off people's heads..well, that was just a fluke - we shouldn't remember that. Remember the man named Paul, Rudy. He was guilty of a great slaughter of the body of believers, and because of Jesus' forbearance, became the most prolific of His disciples, of which the promises Paul passed on in the Scriptures, I am today able to glorify Jesus by personal witness to Jesus own forbearance of my own lack. Remember, Rudy, it is our individual undone condition that murdered Jesus Christ and put Him on the cross. Can I not then make effort to extend the same mercy to another that they might have a reasonable chance to accept the same mercy. Believe me, it is not easy to quell my own hatred for the deed of beheading we have seen. And I don't think our Father in heaven ever wants us to hate evil any the less. Pastor Morris Venden has a note he leaves at the end of each one of the sermons he gives that I've had the privilege to pick up on and accept as what Jesus asks of me re: brotherhood of man. "God does not know any sin He does not hate "God does not know any sinner He does not love" "God does not know any sin He is unwilling to forgive" "And God does not know a better time than now" Of course the sin that will not receive the benefit of that forgiveness is the unrepented sin. And I ask God to remove from me the inability I know is in my natural self, to hate the sinner for what he does. And it is a promise to me that He will, based on the Word. "If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?" 1 John 4:20 NKJV I look at that promise as I give witness to the brotherhood of man. It is obvious that man has the freedom to disenfranchise himself from the goodness of God. And I believe God has the solution for that also. "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you"Matthew 5:44 KJV "Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, " VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. " Romans 12:19 NASB emphasis theirs' LHC Blessings! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted March 9, 2010 Members Posted March 9, 2010 I said the beheadings were a "fluke".... You know, it's too bad that a vocal violent minority of a group of people give a whole group of people a bad name. But that's what happens.
