The Kingdom of God transcends flesh and blood

Comment received re:"President Barack Obama sound good to you?":

I am dissapointed in your views about Obama regarding him as a "gentile" with a white mother and a Black father. He is partly white and partly black. Does not the Jewish community recognize all those who comes out a Jewish mother's womb as Jewish? Does that not count for white mother's womb also?

Which apart of Obama is to be sent to Africa? His white part inwardly or his black part outwardly?

As a religious person admirer of H.W. Armstrong you should have known what apostle Paul stated in Col 3:11
"Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all." Is this not also inspired by same God of the Old Testament?

So Obama born from a white mother and being a Christian, what is he a black African?
Time to update your views.

You should be disappointed that you have trouble with the Word of God that reveals since Obama's father is a Gentile, he is a Gentile. Why insist he must be an Israelite? Are you a racist? ;-) Abraham was a Gentile! And he is the father of the faithful!

I'm a Christian-Zionist, not a follower of Judaism, although I know they go by the mother's side to determine RELIGION - not race.

Peter spoke of those who would twist Paul's words, and at best you've simply misunderstood them.

The same Paul who said "we're all equal now" (in so many words), forbid women preachers! He also acknowledged he is a Jew, from the Tribe of Benjamin, an Israelite.

Was Paul being hypocritical? NO! What Paul was teaching is that all of us - regardless of sex or race - share the same ultimate potential to be born again into the Kingdom-Family of God!

When we become Spirit-filled Christians, it is meant to change our hearts and minds in preparation for the Kingdom of God, not alter our sex or affect our race!

I encourage you to update your information so that it computes with the way God thinks (Isaiah 55:7-9).
