Exactly! Jesus would not care about skin colour or about where people were born, and neither should we. <br />Some cultures have things in them, however, that are against the spirit of what Jesus taught, and he would disapprove of those cultural traits, values and habits, while not, on principle, disliking anyone because of ethnicity or culture.Anita Mathiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497909545167496189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107806561569375484.post-87804650366199757982011-07-26T15:11:19.318-07:002011-07-26T15:11:19.318-07:00Dear Margaret,

I spent much time in Norway in my childhood, and had a holiday in the Summer cabin on lake Tyrifiord of some Norwegian friends looking out on that island across from the shore. <br /> I join you in saying that my God is not one of violence and Jesus was always showing that he was longing for all peoples to show love to each other.It starts here with us loving our neighbours.<br />In the Times today James Bone says'Out of the pain comes love'.Margaret Mary Rowlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468989976417886843noreply@blogger.com
