Jamie Roberson day, he broke into baseball as the first black baseball player. Yesterday all baseball players wore his number 42, in his honor. A good thing honoring him, 42 showing every player on the field are equal in status and importance.
Jesus Christ died for all of us so we all can be saved in Christ. In Christ none of us are more important than the next. In Christ we are not divided by sex, nationality, age, color, even our own righteousness is set aside for Christ's forgiveness.
The best part of life is coming to our Creator, being given His grace, mercy, love, and Spirit to know and grow in Him. Taking His yoke upon us to follow, obey, and grow in Him, He promises His, to never leave us or forsake us.
Originally posted by KellyJayIt's odd that you'd start your thread with a dollop of sentimental nonsense about what a bunch of baseball pros wearing the same number apparently "shows". The suggestion that all baseball players "are equal in status and importance" shows complete ignorance of the economic and commercial reality of pro sports. Was this bromide blather about "42" supposed to make everything else you said in your OP seem perceptive and realistic?

Originally posted by Rajk999I once asked sonship if every Christian was obliged to take the same obsessive boffin approach to the Bible as he does in order to be "saved" and he answered in a slightly oblique way by saying no but then went on about how some are greater than others in the Kingdom of God.

Originally posted by josephwWell, KellyJay said "In Christ none of us are more important than the next" and then included "righteousness" in his list of attributes that he reckons it applies to. If it's biblical, then so be it, but you calling someone who queries the scriptural basis of KellyJay's assertion a "buffoon" is a lack-of-rebuttal rather than a rebuttal.
Whatever inequality there is in the Kingdom of God it won't be based on race, buffoon.
