Confronting Racism

A number of times.

Second, I've explained the Matthew verse. Ignoring what I said does not make it go away.

Now, if you would prefer to continue pretending I did not make these points and choose not to argue against them, please don't bother rehashing the same argument with different verses that I have already done a sufficient job of showing why they are not relevant in this thread. Feel free to start a thread discussing how there was slavery in the Bible and how much you want to try to use that to denounce a religion that has moved past that as culturally we have evolved in the western world, the religion in question included.

Ok, so slavery doesn't mean racism. Fine, but Jesus didn't change the old testament. There's nothing in the new testament that says because Jesus came it changes the covenant or the laws that were in the old testament. In fact it does say that not one thing in the old testament is to be changed.
