			<description><![CDATA[Whenever we are persecuted for HIS sake, count it all joy. I just want to say when you use a public secular convience, deliver any remarks about any subject, be ready for everything. Even on Christian sites people are judgemental, not really knowing the scriptures. Racism runs both ways, we need to lift up the Lord, knowing we are as christians, children of the Great God.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm not into debates, but here is the definition from the NT about worldly: unspiritual, having the nature of the flesh behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men, immature christians, natural standards and values, in whom the carnal nature predominates I didn't know that blacks could be racist against other blacks, but I will definitely check into that one. Thanks for the information. TECHNICALLY generalizing would be 'the white residents of Boston' and not by saying many. 'The white residents would be 100% and 'many African-Americans' could be classified any where from 25-49%. It's funny how is 'seems' that Pastor Taylor is the only one that can voice his opinion. Let us remember that we all have one and that not everyone will agree with them. Hopefully this chat has provoked thought one way or the other.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What's so beautiful about my comment is that you couldn't tell if I was black/white. I'm an African-American and I would have felt the same had the roles been reversed. whatever race you are, this was the comment you made that I found was generalising in a racist way... "Many Christians, who happen to be African-Americans, seem to forget that we are not to be persuaded by the things of this world. " [I have already explained that I believe you are misinterpreting what the N.T. means about what is worldly.. e.g. wrong attittudes and lack of love are wordly [the way of the world]... being involved in some things that happen in the world, because we are fellow humans with others, is not worldly]]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What's so beautiful about my comment is that you couldn't tell if I was black/white. I'm an African-American and I would have felt the same had the roles been reversed. As a Christ follower, color doesn't persuade me one way or the other. There's God's way and the enemy's way and I will chose God each time. Healing is called for because the 'color issue' has hardened some hearts and caused division once again. Restoration is needed because it has only driven another wedge among ethnicities, which is a divisive tool of the enemy. In situations like this, 'people' will begin to vilify an entire group of people (white residents of Boston) and that is also wrong. President Obama should have left this situation up to the locals, especially since this was a friend of his. See comment response for AR.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[your post has a smell of racism about it [even though you won't see it] Racism!? I'm an African-American, so let's move on from there. Pastor Taylor has the right to free speech and regardless of what he said it doesn't give anyone the right to vandalize his church. I am not condoning what the vandals did in any way, I was questioning the platform in which Pastor Taylor chose to voice his opinion. As ministers of the gospel, we are to bring others to Christ with love and I don't believe that his comments did that. At the end of the day ask yourself if his comments will bring others to Christ or push them away? Will your comment or my comment draw or drive? I'll leave you with this, because I won't be commenting again if you should decide to refute this comment. Please know I don't say that in a demeaning way, I just don't believe in debating a point that's not going to bring others to Jesus. God is love and it's not based upon the color of ones skin.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am with the article reader on Ms. Smith's comments. Regardless of his comment on the situation, he did not deserve to have this done to him. What "healing" needs to take place here? None that I can see. If anything, its the white vandals who should be ashamed for what they did. He has nothing to apologize for. The situation that happened in Boston could have been better handled by all parties involved. And I'm thankful that our President took the bold step of having the officer and professor meet to discuss the situation. I didn't hear any white pastors propose this step. This episode has taught me that blacks and whites are still divided. Afterall, it was the white residents of Boston who got angry about the President's comments and the actions of the black governor and black mayor. I wonder what Ms. Smith would have thought if a black person had made disparaging remarks about a white pastor and defaced his church?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Pastor Taylor, It's not about having an opinion it's about doing the will of God. Many Christians, who happen to be African-Americans, seem to forget that we are not to be persuaded by the things of this world. You must own up to your comment, which was also 'racially motivated', if anything you might have asked that God bring restoration and healing in such a volatile matter, but you opted to speak on a worldly issue. As a leader you must be mindful of what you say because you are ultimately representing Christ and He is not divisive. Two wrongs will never make a right. I think that repentance, acknowledgement of your wrongfully chosen statement is necessary in order to bring healing in your community. Don't let pride prevent you from doing this. With Love in Christ, Deborah]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Pastor Taylor I would like to say to you, be encouraged. You are just being persecuted for "His name's sake". Psalm 50:7 says: For the Lord God will help you, therefore I will not be disgraced. Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed. This is your "Hope" in His Word. A trying of your faith in the "Ministry" that God has given you. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us , who can be against us? Romans 8:31 Shalom to you!]]></description>
