The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

This is going to be a very controversial and somewhat stupid post (I'm really tired), but I need to go ahead. I've found the denomination that I find is right and obeys Scripture, however, my place of congregation is full of tiggers Sorry for the word. I dislike these people, but not for any particular reason. And all of the congregations are full of them, regardless of the place.

Why do I dislike them? And what should I do about this? Obviously God goes first, but is there something in particular that can be done?

find get a denomination that is as old as Christianity, not younger than it.

I'm talking about the blacks here though, I tend to have a very negative attitude towards them. It's problematic from my part to say the least

Change parish? Or talk to the priest to redpill him and get them kicked out.

I know what board this is and I can’t really speak to your experience, but there’s a difference between tiggers and black people. As long as they’re being respectful to you and God, try to ignore them as best you can. You’re not there for the people anyways, but for Christ.

As longs as they obey the KJV, it's fine.

Thats what you get for being a baptist!

Just kidding, its just blacks lmao unless the culture is too different youll do just fine. Still i recommend you sticking to your own people.


656ff7 No.681920

you can ignore the people at church and just go there to worship and be with God. although I don't know how often the holy spirit frequents protestant black churches. probably rarely.

If you're a protestant, you'll be in Churches with blacks.

Reminder: Catholic churches in the suburbs are the last stand of implicit white identity

The point of church is to worship with brothers and sisters together in Christ. This sort of attitude is what is killing american churches.

Why are you guys okay with hating others who are in the same body if Christ? You need to examine yourselves if hatred of others for their race is more important than fellowship with the church.

Make a habit to give alms to black beggars. Think of them as your money-agents who will return your money with a profit when you die. This will heal your disliking.

It's impossible to be in your 30s today and a boomer, because the "booming age" was decades earlier.

You cannot be in your 30s today and get a part time summer job that buys you a used corvette.

You cannot be in your 30s today and walk into any high paying job straight from the street after high school graduation.

You cannot be in your 30s today and easily buy land and a house and have a family with about three children, two cars, pets a pool, etc without doing something incredibly exceptional, unlike back then where pretty much anyone had the chance on that.

You cannot be in your 30s today and routinely go on vacation without getting into precarious job situations.

You cannot be in your 30s today and retire early unless you're doing something exceptional and nonstandard to regular people.

But you can be a language poisoning bastard who tries to muddy the linguistic waters of "boomers" and the devastating effects they had on the current generation, as demonstrated by you.

Pray.

This is a golden opportunity God has given to you, that you may reexamine your life and beliefs. By becoming a part of this congregation, you'll get the honest and personal experience needed to refute your prejudices.

Churches are places of healing for us. The actual center of our communities. By joining this humbly, you get a privileged insight into what and how we see the world.

Yes, some ladies are petty. Yes, some preachers are hustling. But taking the time to show you're sincere will let down many barriers for you. And get your ass a decent haircut.

t. Experienced the reverse, joining a Catholic church named Patrick. Now I go elsewhere, but it really expanded my definition of "brother" for the better.

Become catholic and worship god in the Church he founded, and with your own people. Despite all the bad advice itt there's no reason to continue going there when there's a barrier there between you forming a healthy relationship with god. There's nothing wrong with not liking other races as much as your own, people who claim to be ambivalent about this are lying, to themselves possibly as much as you. There's a reason the first missionaries were implored to come to people in their own ways, the Church is meant to foster REAL religious communities, not larping nonsense where people pretend that ethnicity and culture don't exist and that showing up to church on Sunday is the totality of human socialization. Pretending that you will ever be as much part of their community is pointless, it's completely untrue, so why bother when we each already have our own?

>>682047

He shouldn't hate them but he doesn't have to like them. Trying to insert yourself into another race's church if you're not there on behalf of the Church authorities is pointless unless there's literally NO way to avoid it and still attend mass. Religious observance is dying in the western world because organic communities are dying, pretending that race, culture and history are irrelevant to community is just stupidity, and to persist in this delusion because it offends your liberal sensibilities is uncharitable to all the people whom you will counsel poorly because of it.

>>682645

Dumb advice because it is almost certainly more likely to confirm than dispel his prejudices since spoiler: races are different. There is no benefit to trying to become part of a community that you never genuinely can. He could play pretend and ignore the differences, but that's all he'll ever be doing: pretending. Everyone here who claims that you can't come to Christ without first appeasing the god of liberalism by denying human nature sins against charity and injures anyone who wants to build a holistic religious life and listens to them. People should be building religious communities among there own, and especially where they LIVE, not driving out to God knows where so that he can be a stranger amongst strangers.

>Why do I dislike them?

Because you were conditioned to dislike them, and your confirmation bias has caused you to see statistics showing them to be violent as causative rather than correlative.

>And what should I do about this?

Talk to them. Get to know them.
