Christians can be misled and can be wrong... even sincerely wrong.
Being a christian doesn't make one perfect. It just, among other things. puts them on the journey to becoming so... and none of us ever makes it to perfection this side of our last breath.

Thanks. I agree. Some of the posts on FB have said they are not real Christians.

OH MY!! It's astounding to think that people who claim to be christians actually believe this stuff! But then again, it does stand to reason considering the spiritual elitism that permeates the OP movement because of "the whole truth". Just goes to show that there will always be some who will justify thinking less of others - regardless of their religious affiliation.
I've actually heard the "what fellowship hath light with darkness" passage butchered to defend this dung.

I actually heard that during the very first Search for Truth we sat through. Although more accurately it was said that Moses's son was to be "cursed", not so much a servant, but it essentially meant the same thing.
A black guy from our youth group asked my permission earlier this year to date my daughter (17). I scoured the scriptures, posted here, talked to several men of God close to me and no one could give me any scriptural support against it. So I gave him my permission and they are still together. He is a really great guy and I have a lot of respect for him and his walk with God.
My wife was just informed about 20 minutes ago by her mother that if we intended on him accompanying us to family Christmas at her home this year then we need not attend at all.
We won't be attending.
