Kentucky church votes to ban interracial couples

I never looked at the color of a Marines hands risking his life to bring up ammo in a firefight or asked the corpman what relegion he was when he risked his life to get to me

Mark Twain identified two types of Christians: professing christians and Practicing Christians. There are very few of the second type. I think this applies to pretty much all religions, not just Christianity.

Is it any wonder more and more people believe in God,but not the church.

"...Many members left to avoid the vote..."

Instead of leaving the church....they should have done the decent thing and voted "No"! Jesus would be turning in his grave if he wasn't resurrected! Can I get a witness?!

things like this is why i worship god in my own way,every church i have ever been in is controlled by a hand full of people,if i have to fight church politics to pray in peace i would just as soon pray at home

"Freewill Baptist Church"... now that's funny!

90+ percent of Americans say they are of the Christian faith, but I will argue that is non sense. Jesus never spat on the homeless, nor did he attack those trying to better the world. He did attack money lenders and those who sought to profiteer their neighbors. He distributed food to the needy and would be astonished at how Christians today treat other human beings. The real number is more like 5 percent in the US. I have seen so many hate filled posts on these pages it makes me wonder what is in store for the human family this next twenty years.

A cowboy went to church one Sunday morning, the preacher went to the pulpit , looked out to his congragation , saw the cowboy.. went down and told him... before you come back to this church , PRAY, ask Jesus what you should wear to church. The next Sunday the cowboy was there in church again when the preacher , stood up , looked out and saw the cowboy again..He went down and ask him, did I not tell you to Pray and ask Jesus what you should wear to church ? Yeah sir answered the cowboy , you did , but Jesus said He didn't know cos he hasn't been to this church There are none so blind as those who will not see, we are all GOD"S children.Red and yellow ,black and white we are all precious in HIS sight

Me and my Asian wife wish you God's love and blessings to fill you empty slowly dying church. It's not the color of your skin, bu the content of your heart that God judges.

"Funerals were excluded" REALLY LMFAO!!!

Wouldn't want to worship at this church anyway! Who does this pastor think he is to decide who is permitted into God's house?? It is people like this that make good Christians look bad. He should be ashamed of himself!!!!!!

So, more people to claim to be Christian, but are actually betrayers of Jesus. Jesus did warn about these types of hypocrites. He said many would preach in his name, yet they would not be of his fold.

god loves people of all color he dont care what color your skin is

Well, that's Christian of them. Wonder how the pastor feels about Jews. Such as Jesus.

WOW - maybe they can form a branch with the Westboro Cult in Kansas that pickets military funerals - they seem to have about the same mentality and intellect. They are also COWARDS who waited until MOST of the congregation was gone before holding this vote that still barely passed.

Pastor (Racist) Melvin Thompson's church went from 40 to 9. Wow, a 77% reduction in your membership because the pastor is not a moral and good man. Nice move MEL!

99%.99 of the backwood Fundalmental Christians are phonies and hypocritical. They put crosses, passages from the bible, and fish symbols on their bumpers (IDOLS) advertising their phony faith. They look down their noses at other people whom dont think nor act just like them, or practice a different faith. They think its ok for the Pastor to say and do anything as if the pastor is the choosen one. They are against Unity and Peace.

Unfortunately, I know people like that and most of them are unhappy and mean people. I guess their fundalmental judmental religion is not working for them. Also, most of them always pray for help financially or for something materialistic instead of praying for help understanding and resolving their issues with predudice (racial, religious, gender, sexual orientation, etc.).

I hate to break the news to white Christians. Jesus was not of European descent. His hair was dark, curly, kinky as wool, his skin was dark, just like the other people who lived in the region. The phony racist pictures of Jesus you see at your white churches are a fake visions and manifestations of European racism.

Please Google Israel, Hebrew, and Jewish ethnicity. Look at the pictures of what the people look like. They dont look German, Irish, Scottish, nor English. They look North African or Middle Eastern. There are no red heads or blondes with blue eyes!

Lastly, I glad Pastor Mel has been exposed. I just wish other fake Christian Pastor's like Mel speak up and expose their real identities so that they also lose 77% of their flock!

People open your eyes. Think for yourself. We are all made from the same god like material. If blacks and whites were not supposed to be together, nature would not allow a white man to get a black, asian, mexican woman pregnant.

LIVED UNITED

Whom on this earth has the right to deny entry into God's house??

This pastor needs to read his Bible more. At Acts 10:34 it says God is not partial. Nowhere in the Bible does it say anything against interracial marriage.

If Jesus came back today, a lot of people would be shocked at his natural complexion.

We are all part of the human race, I have O positive blood and I'm a black man. Last I checked there are whites and other NATIONALITIES that have the same blood. So how can we be of a difference race? I would say that our skin color has to do with what part of the world we originated from.
