Yes, the class system is a continual source of unhappiness in this country, and being working class myself, and not really fitting in anywhere, I empathise completely with what you've written. We must remember however that class, racism, any form of prejudice where one person devalues another person for any reason, is part of the world and it's disorder and hatred and evil. A Christian should do their best not to be prejudiced in any way, and if they are they should pray about it. One day, we will all answer for our actions. <br /><br />There is salvation in Jesus and freedom from judgement; we must always remember that!T-Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14973808285834438472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412187929957069944.post-50347868728231503462012-09-04T07:13:39.129-07:002012-09-04T07:13:39.129-07:00The Lord wants for all men to come to the knowledg...The Lord wants for all men to come to the knowledge of salvation through Jesus Christ so I join with you Frank in praying for Stephen Hawking. I have never really suffered rejection from people before I came to the Lord, but have always been a bit of a loner anyway. I was brought up in a bit of a 'toughie' area and so was able to take care of myself verbally anyway, but because we lived near the docks and many different nationalities were amongst us, there was no prejudice anyway. We lived as one community, happily and safely. We could leave our doors unlocked and know that we were safe. I have seen that the Lord is the judge of those outside of His church who have predjudices, and the word is the judge should those inside His church have any. I have watched some of the 'disabled' in the olympics and cannot believe what I see. They are amazing, and shine even more so because most people would not be able to achieve what they are achieving with no disabilities, let alone with limbs missing or injured backs. I liked the first olympic games, but I am completely in awe of this second one.

Somebody once said, "For the Christian, life on earth is as close as we will ever get to hell, but for the unbeliever it is as close as he will get to heaven." Like you I can only pray that he will come to believe so he can experience a freedom far beyond what he has experienced since 1964.

I had dark hair and dark eyes in a culture of blond hair and blue eyes. I didn't fit in. God was and still is my closest confidant. <br /><br />I know you understand what I mean. And you speak the truth when you say that Jesus Christ is our only salvation. We cannot save ourselves.<br /><br />I too have prayed for Hawking. Perhaps God will save him. I imagine there will be many surprises in Heaven. :)<br /><br />Blessings to you.Sincerityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135778203560012397noreply@blogger.com
