In Christ there is no white nor black. 1 - “Woe unto you who are rich now... 2 - Blessed are you who are poor now”... Now, let’s see, the rich now have had their good things, and the poor now shall be blessed...oh, that’s sort of a reversal of fortunes (no pun intended). White nationalism is premised upon white supremacy. It’s not even debateable. The greatness of ANY human institution or nation is not now and never was flawless perfection. Mistakes get made. Atrocities happen. Apologizing is not weakness. Geez, TRT, are you a scribe?
I let this one lay for a while but now it's time to speak up. Sombrero, your understanding is woefully lacking, as is your interpretation of the two verses you almost quoted.
You won't give the Scriptural references so allow me the privilege.
Your first verse---
Luke 6:24 (KJV)
24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
Like I said, many a rich man trusts or trusted in his own riches, therefore they do not think they need to bow before God and ask forgiveness. But there are also many rich men who ARE saved. Job was one, Abraham another. But where Abraham was made a great nation, his seed numbering like the stars of the heavens, and the grains of sand, the lost rich man already has his reward because money has become his God.
So, just having money is no vice. Loving money to the point where it is the most important thing in one's life on the other hand, is.
Your second verse---
Matthew 5:3 (KJV)
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Not convenient for your to make your distorted point, if you were to have posted the entire verse I guess. 'The poor' as mentioned by The Lord, are not those who lack money, the poor He's talking about are poor in spirit. And as such are those who recognize how utterly wretched their stance before The Holy God of this universe really is, and that they are utterly without hope, and so they throw themselves on His mercy, begging forgiveness and confessing every sin. All while trusting in His finished work on the cross.
I suppose you could have missed the correct meaning by a wider margin, but I can't imagine how.
There is no reversal of fortunes. And I can say with certainty that you cannot find anything like that being said in God's Word.
All men have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 (KJV) White men have in no way sinned against God or man, any more than any other race. And BTW, the races were God's idea, but feel free to blast away! In the meantime you are revisionist to the bone. Even where God's Word is concerned.
