I have been witnessing the EU absorbing peole into the various countries' populations from withing the Eu and from much of Africa for many decades, and the past two has stepped up considerable.
Germany had a "gastaribiter" program from the 1950's, perhaps even before of Greeks and Turkish people, of who tens of thousands have assimilated quite well into German society.
Here in Spain there are significant populations of varied immigrant peoples from Romania to South America and from Ireland to China.....no problems here is Spain, and it is ever so refreshing to experience.
There are many "melting pots" around the globe today, and most are quite successfull. One day the wayfarer shall cease, but at present this has not come into being.

Actually there was the annual sacrifice to God for the sins of the previous year. The best sacrifice for those able to afford it was an unblemished Lamb. Jesus lived a sinless life and that made Him the Unblemished Lamb of God. Thus the perfect sacrifice for our sins. It blows my mind that Jesus, God incarnate, knowing the end from the begining started creation knowing the cross was in His future.
America was the original melting pot with people from every country coming here. Not every group was welcomed initially. The Irish were discriminated against initially as well as Eastern European Jews. Western European Jews came first and were accepted. It always eventually went away. Jews are unique in history. All other groups kicked out of their country disappeared from history.

1, how do you know no one has really hurt me, you assume things you have no business assuming
(My ex wife kicked me out and move a very close friend in, she then proceded to take everythin I own, keep my kids from me, turn one of them against me, made it so the state took almost all i had in child support, i couod barely get an apartment, and basically caused me to walk away from God for 5 years, so yeah i know what ots like to be hurt dude, you have some nerve how dare you? )
and oh yes, i pray all the time for her to come back to God, it took awhile but i got there, by doing what i tood you I personally needed to do, so you can go on thinking i misunderstood you, thinking no one has ever hurt me, or thinking i have no idea what i am talking about, but you my friend have no clue!
2.if you disagree just say so, like i told your buddy, oherwise stop with he nonsense!

If you loved hose people you would not even think of doing those things to them, no matter what the moral guidelines of any society are, love has no boundaries. And it does not take sides, and it does not serve self.
If we have love, the ten commands do not help, because as jesus said, we can obey the letter (do not commit adultry) yet if we lust in our minds, we have sinned, if we loved the person, we would not lust them ,let alone do the actual physical act, we would not even be tempted, thats why the goal to righteousness is not follwoing the ten commands (if i am thinking of the ten commands when i look at the lady, i am already thinking of fornication, because the word is in my head) it is serving in love and the spirit, if i am just looking to love and serve the lady in the spirit, i will never be tempted.
People ask, how is this so, are there any examples,
tell a child not to get a cookee, what is their first thougts? What can i do to get that cookee, temptation is already here, and the child will do what he can, where as if no5ing was said, the child probably would never have thought about it,
thats why paul said, when the law came sin increased, because it brought with it by its nature temptation.
The USA may have been th e first to coin this expression, I do not know with certainty, but all civilizations since before Babylon have receive peoples they had conquered into their base countries either by free will or by indentured servitude or outright slavery.. The only good thing about slavery in those civilizations is that it was not like the ownership-slavery of modern times but then people could a actually buy their freedom...... Of course this was true of the indentured servants (nice word for slaves) of th colonies of the us ALSO.
The difference being people from all over the world came here of their own free will and paid to get here. Most of the indentured servants paid for their passage by paying it off being an indentured servant for a specified time. Slaves were the only exception. Did you know at one point the indentured servants rebelled because of being fed lobster too often?

Interesting...
I do know that the Bible talks about setting slaves free every 7 years and that every 50 years is the year of Jubilee. That when Jesus read in the Temple certain verses he was proclaiming the year of Jubilee when He first walk this earth. Something the Jews had not celebrated since the first Babylonian captivity and still do not today because they do not accept Jesus as Savior.

There have always been refugees for economic betterment in every civilization and in every country. Contrary to common thinking in many countries, when a person visits France, not all are originall French, as a matter of fact one of ththe lates French ministers was from Cataluya, Hidalgo, tnother, prime minister descended from The the Eastern Block (former) countries, Sarkozy and I believe his model wife was from Italy...lit escapes me for now.
The same holds true for just about all countries i the world. Of course if you take out amicroscope you may find somewhere where al are born in their lands. That would be the exception. My own Great grandfather was from Norway with a Welsh wife......and this goes on and one for most folks.
There have been hordes of economic refugees go through Ellis Island.....this was by necessity not by any political ideal. If opportunity fails for people in a country ad they see great opportunity in another countr, they will immigrate.....They alway shave.

I would have to disagree. Racism is hidden for the most part and not praises because of the influence of the church, but it's still very alive.
.The kkk...within an hour driving distance there is a house with gallows that have black dummies hanging in their front yard.
In a way the US has made great strides, but intolerance and racism and slavery still exists here.
We can't turn a blind eye and pretend we are already in paradise.
Last year a teenage prositution ring was broken up in our county.
Can you imagine a country where that is a norm and not considered morally offensive?
It goes back to understanding God's laws and His morality and how that affects not only our personal lives but our political views and governmental laws.

James, it is not setting slaves free every seven years. Slavery was a sin from the very beginning. What it does talk about is a person who is willing to be a servant must be obligated for seven years to their masters, before they can depart. And these servants were treated well,and got rewarded after their seven year service was up.
LOL what ignorance towards America? I didn't say anything about America....... I was giving an example that you can't give your opinion. You can't ask an American about America if he doesn't live there anymore
