From Traditional Guy 20: Oh what a shocker that you have nothing except attack and no rational conversation to refute me.
My response: How can one answer the rantings of a lunatic?
From Traditional Guy 20:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleanliness_of_bloodMy response: That is not an infallible teaching of the Church. It was also not a test of "superiority of blood", but an attempt to stem any infiltration of false converts into the Church. This was not a universal Church practice, and is limited to a specific period and place.
From Traditional Guy 20: Christ was not of an inferior race therefore he was not inferior. He was not an African/White Racial Mix therefore he was no mulatto.
My response: He was not white, nor was He from the Germanic tribes you hold up so highly.
"Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me."
Above all, charity.
From Traditional Guy 20: Since we're throwing useless Bible verses here you go: "If the Ethiopian can change his skin, or the leopard his spots: you may also do well, when you have learned evil." [/quote]
It seems that is the only Bible verse you know. It does not in any way support your notions of racial superiority. It was a warning to the Jews; from the Douay-Rheims: Under the figure of a linen girdle is foretold the destruction of the Jews. Their obstinacy in sin brings all miseries upon them.
I do know of another selection of the Scriptures which may be applied here:
[29] But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour? [30] And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
[31] And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by. [32] In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. [33] But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion. [34] And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. [35] And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.
[36] Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers? [37] But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.
Our Lord made no distinction of race or ethnicity. He came for His sheep. It is meaningless for the sheep to argue among themselves as to who may have the best wool, or the most pure, if their hearts are far from the Shepherd.
I will leave you with this:
[9] When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. [10] But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.
[11] And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, [12] Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats. [13] But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny? [14] Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee. [15] Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?
[16] So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.
