Which races do you think will be in greatest numbers in heaven?
Do you think any will be underrepresented relative to the distribution of races on earth?

The same observation goes for the Indians who together with the Chinese now make up about half the worlds population.

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesConsidering that those who are in heaven will be taken from not only present day earth, but from throughout human history, I don't believe it will be a matter of race, since within each "race" there will be thousands and thousands of cultural variations whose distinctions will be far more dramatic than the mere color of one's skin. Regardless, whatever racial disparity which may exist in heaven after every soul is counted, cannot be judged to be based on merit, since God is not a respecter of persons; His grace is utterly color blind.

This is one of the reasons why I left the church...we were taught that all "black" people on earth were cursed with that color because they were fence sitters in the war between Jesus and Lucifer and waited to see who would win and then choose that side.
Not my opinion...just what I was taught as a child in bible school.

that goes I believe there is only one race "human' any way. The only
thing that matters is our individual relationship with God there are not
points being give due to skin color or place of birth and so on.
