    Today I unpacked and started to read Bloodlines. I read the everything John speaks of in the video. Then several hours later I check my email to find a message from John Piper sent the same time I started reading the book. How awesome is that?!
    Thank you Father!
    And thank you John Piper.

    I find it extremely poetic that John's nephew would later marry my filipino Pastor's daughter.

    This has brought me so much hope Ptr John. I was so discouraged today. I resonated with what you said when you and Noel went to Germany - In a country where you were a minority and you can’t speak German. You felt like a first grader when you can’t speak the language even when you’re working on a PhD. Being a minority here in Australia I feel what’s like to be outside culturally. So thank you for these biblical convictions that you shared in this documentary. This teaching has started to open up the minds of some Pastors but it’s more of an idea not in full reality. I’m so glad that you don’t just teach it but you lived it out. I thank God for you Pastor John and Noel. I just pray that we will find a church where ethnic diversity and harmony is preached and lived out biblically and beautifully.

    This is an absolutely beautiful video. Thank you for making and sharing it. I was adopted as a baby. I have no information about my background, so I don't know what "race" I am. It has never mattered to me. God gave me the grace, even before I was saved, to understand the color of one's skin, the texture of one's hair, are the least important things about a person. Once I came to know Him, I discovered my identity in Him as His daughter, along with all my other Christian brothers and sisters, and what a beautiful variety of people make up the Body of Christ today! Oh...and my favorite name happens to be Talitha. :)

      @Patrick Kazan Lying is also a sin. "Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness" ((Exodus 23:1, KJV). There have been a lot of fake "racism" incidents in the last few years: Tawana Brawley, Bubba Wallace, etc. The fake news manufacturers are quick to pounce on any opportunity to incite anger and rioting...but when the "racism" incident turns out to be false, the fake news manufacturers won't say anything.

    If God does NOT JUDGE US on the color of our skin… then who the HE|| thinks they are above God and have the right to discriminate against other for being different that you wether skin or hair color of if they wear glasses of have a disability…God makes us all unique in his own miraculous way… and in my opinion I have a special place in my heart for those with disabilities because God broke the mold when he made them as wonderful and amazing as they are… like my buddy SHOUT OUT to BLIND CONDUCTOR MINISTRIES pray everyday to bless that man and make his channel grow to an unprecedented reach. I watch EVERY VIDEO he creates and thumbs up and comment to help him… May the almighty Father Yahweh keep his heavenly angels around all of us in these tuff times and may he soften the hearts of all those demonic satanic “ public servants” who really only serve their donors and their own pockets, NOT God, Not the voters who he represents

    John's mother is a rare and a very good woman. What I am about to say none of you ever heard before, yet it is in the Scriptures:
    The WHOLE world is deceived (Rev.12:9; Isaiah 60:2) to the point that they worship Satan (Rev.13:3-4) thinking that is God; they (the WHOLE world) are deceived because they do not love the truth that they might be saved...(2Thes.2:10-11); rather they choose lies and sins; yet despite all, a remnant/elects have been saved, and as a result of this remnants, in the end, a multitudes of people and nations will be saved and have eternal life in His eternal kingdom forever (Rev.7:9-11) - HalleluYah!
    Now if you are one of the elects you have the same understanding above. If you are one of the multitudes, then you would go and seek our Heavenly Father with all your heart to understand what "HalleluYah" truly means, and once you do, your eyes will be opened and you will start to understand the message above. But according to the Scriptures, 99.99999% or almost none of you will...all those who are still living according to the world, which belongs to Satan, as Scriptures foretold!...for Scriptures is the truth which is being fulfilled and will be fulfilled to the last word!
    But either way, you will see that message above be fulfilled, and on judgment day, you will see the message above is true, for they come from Scriptures, The Word of The Most High, our Heavenly Father - HalleluYah!

    “Perhaps the greatestmystery involved in an examination of the life of Christ is what to make of the
    so-called “missing years.” Some of
    those, who have been willing to publish their speculations, suggest that during
    those missing years Jesus traveled to far reaches of the ancient world,
    including Roman-era England, India and perhaps other locales. For those that argue that there is no
    Biblical proof that other than the early exile of the Holy Family in Egypt,
    Christ was not always present in the Holy Land.
    It does seem likely, however, that the totality of the life of Christ
    could not be fully contained within the Gospels. Indeed in John 21:25, John clearly admits he
    has just scratched the surface of what Christ accomplished on earth: “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I
    suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that could
    be written.” There
    is less than complete agreement on all tenets of Grail Christianity among Grail
    Christians. Still, just about all agree,
    that Jesus Christ visited the British Isles at least once and possibly twice
    with his great uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, settling for a time at Glastonbury
    in the west of England. This belief is
    also held by Christians far from the British Isles and not adhering to Grail
    Christianity such as the Maronite Christians of Lebanon.

      @@rebeccaa.3121 he's an attention seeker. He's also an example of a phenomenon known only to white people which is where we actively apologize for things they didn't do even if they were the ones to set the precedent that these evil things were wrong. It's why the Chinese even made the word baizao to mock white people. I bet he's a terrible guy behind closed doors. He's more concerned about looking like a good guy about racial issues than talking about his religion. I also love the dramatic posing and bad acting he keeps doing
