There is a standard for Christian living—it is the Bible— and not the decisions of a private group of people. All people will one day be held accountable before God for everything we think, say and do. The Word of God will be the standard.

True Christians (those who have been born again by the Spirit of God) want to live by the Word of God. As a believer grows in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, a lot of things he formerly believed or thought to be true will be seen for the rubbish it really is and be thrown out by that person. A belief in a superior race, or a belief in an inferior race, is one of those “rubbish” things.

God’s Word says that a person must be born again in order to enter the kingdom of God (John 3). Jesus explains it to Nicodemus, a Jewish man who had a religion. A relationship with Christ will result in a changed, and changing, life.

Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no man can come to the Father except through Him.

You're really missing my point TL. I am not arguing God and the bibles description of Christianity. I am making my point purely on the human aspect of perception of or belief in their version of Christianity.

Which makes your point “All people will one day be held accountable before God for everything we think, say and do. The Word of God will be the standard.” Absolutely rock solid. People are flawed to the core and often we see it most clearly within a church.

Where I was going is “Keep the government out of it”. Period. Right or wrong the people involved should be able to choose in “their” church what is acceptable for them to tolerate so long as it is within the law.

I don't agree at all with all of the church fracturing because as your point here is spot on “True Christians (those who have been born again by the Spirit of God) want to live by the Word of God. As a believer grows in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, a lot of things he formerly believed or thought to be true will be seen for the rubbish it really is and be thrown out by that person. A belief in a superior race, or a belief in an inferior race, is one of those “rubbish” things”.

God will judge whether they made the right decision (not government) is all I'm trying to say and I'd say I've done a poor job of it.

I am a KJV born again father of 5 with a loving faithful wife of the same beleifs. It breaks our heart to watch all of our Church's fracture around us.
