God doesn't give Whites an advantage over Blacks in salvation. Any human distinction you can think of applies here.

There are Calvinists on these threads that state that those who live or lived in the deepest darkest places in Africa or in the backwoods of Mongolia were placed there because they were not chosen. The gospel was not or has not been taken to them because they were not "chosen."

Since Christianity is primarily a "white man's" religion, it can be logically deduced that indeed God has given an advantage to whites over blacks, to whites over asians, to whites over Indians. Christianity has florished in those countries and cultures that are or have been dominated by white skinned people and has floundered elsewhere.

From a Calvinistic standpoint, if it is not because God has given to white men an advantage not given to those of other races, then how do you explain it? Pure Luck?

Now you would not be calling Calvinists raciests would you? The newest " reform church" in our area is Black.

So tell me PM..Did you pick your race? Did you select your family? Did you select IQ? Your sex? The location of your birth? Just what about your person did you get to select?..The answer is nothing..God predestined who you are ,and what you would be..you do not seem to see that as God being a respecter of persons.

We live in a nation of heathan unbelievers that are white..depravity is not a problem of skin color..it is a racial issue however as we are all of Adams sinful race.

We believe that all that are meant to be saved will be..that simple..who knows ,looking around the white culture one might assume there are more saved Asians and Blacks that there are "whites"

but somehow I do not think that God sees skin color,He looks on the heart

Oh no you didn't go there.

Do you know Church history? The OLDEST Christian denomination is the Coptic denomination. Where was this?

ETHIOPIA!

The Gospel was being preached in east Africa well before it made it to western Europe. For verification, please go to the Acts of the Apostles.

Saying that Christianity is primarily a "white man's religion" flies in the face of history. That's Farrakhan talking. And it's not true.
