( I don't need to read about segregation in a history book. I remember segregation. In this country, nothing good happened when we were segregating people because of the color of their skin.)

Christian segregation encouraged in :
Amos 3:3
2 Cor. 6
Matthew 7:6
John 17:21
Ephesians 4:14
Galations 1:8-9
Ephesians 4:5
1 John 2:15
Matthew 10:34-37
John 17:9
Galations 6:10
Psalms 133:1
Modest friendship with the world encouraged in :
Luke 14:23
Luke 16:9
Galations 6:10
While no formal racial segregation today or Ephesians 3:29 we still got 2 Cor. 6 or Christian segregation
today.
While no superiority or inferiority today or Ephesians 3:29 we still got Matthew 7:6 today comparing an unbeliever to a dog and swine. Obviously the believer highly esteems all the bible while the unbeliever
lowly esteems all the bible as 90% the word of God.
Old law in the bible had regard to race, income status and gender status to put value on people at one time but now we got Ephesians 3:29 to turn the tables around today. Prior to Ephesians 3:29 we got
Peter learning about this before Paul did with the dream unfolded to him in the book of Acts. Jesus
actually called people not Jews the word "dogs". He initially said his ministry and the ministry of his trained apostles is to the lost sheep of Israel only. Even then he turned the tables on the rules if a
Samaritian woman or beggar for some crumbs initiated getting blessed by him. These were folks not
Jews or considered to be "dogs" like I mention. Old law in the bible also had record to the status of
your health. Sick people then were considered cursed by God often. This brought on segregation too.
The better news is after so many days of getting cleansed in the body and some many days of getting
anything defiled cleansed or destroyed you were able to fit back in with the Jewish society then.
Martin Luther King would really be saying free at last free at last to this. The rules today change where
you can call the elders of the church like it say in the book of James and get your miracle of body healing prayed for and it's a done deal. No need to worry about a people isolation time and then come
with a animal offering to be back into fellowship with God like anybody else a saint. The laying of the
hands to cast out demons is free of charge today. No animal offering needed or no money involved to buy a miracle. Just faith and obedience and it's a done deal. Before we get into this talk about giving and tithing to have God open up the windows of heaven to pour out a blessing and take away curses we need to put balance on this talk with Galations 1:8-9 also. Too often we hardly know people's bible beliefs in the bible enough before we take on 1 Cor. 9:14 like the book encourages. Who today wants
to expose all the bible or mess with 2 Timothy 3:16 ? Those that dare hit on the trivia bible talk avoided
today probably mock the teachings in it. Dogs and swine or Matthew 7:6 are not just extremist blowing up a building in the name of another god or doing suicide murder in the name of a god. Whether you
kill in the name of a god or mock 10% of the bible it makes no difference to God. A dog or swine is still a dog or swine. The proof in the pudding is Matthew 5:17-20.
