Why are there churches for white people and churches for black people?...?
930814
Because of the way many religions evolved in America: That is, racially segregated. The white people came from Europe, bringing their religion. When black slaves where brought over, they brought their religion with them, but from spending time in America, began to incorporate elements of the white people's religions. This led to similar, but still different, religions, since each had elements worked in from the original religions, and thus "black" and "white" churches.

There is a lot of bigotry out there. If people admitted that the Catholic church was the source of the protestant denominations, they'd be acknowledging that perhaps the bigotry they hold onto in their heart is not entirely justifiable.

No, all the churches in Christendom do not teach and preach the same Jesus. \n\nSome do show a real compassion and love for people and a real desire to reach out to people, not to evangelize or convert them, but to help them. These seem to embody Jesus much more so than those who shout the Bible, work harder to expand the number of adherents they have, the number of baptisms they have, the number of people attending the church, have developed all kinds of programs to help people learn how to convert people and grow the church. Many churches have become self-centered...they care only about the Church and not about humanity. Jesus, atleast from what I've read in the Bible, seemed to be more concerned with social justice for people and showing compassion towards those who need help in this life. The final thing Jesus said, after he had returned from the dead, was to go out and spread the message....and no one thinks it is odd that he waited to give this message so much later but over and over and over again stressed the importance of showing compassion and finding people's humanity and working for social justice...he speaks a lot more about this than he does about conversion and spreading the Church...in fact he doesn't care much for his enemies because they work against improving social justice, they have trouble seeing the humanity of all people and then administering compassion to others.

It's because the churches are new or because they are home churches and haven't asked for their tax deduction yet. Praise God for America, where we can build new churches.

I don't know about "church," but in Christ you will find the real Divinity, not the imagined. The church is the place where the family dynamics work to help you grow into the "new" creation...when it is not just a social club.  Finding the right church is as important as finding the right Jesus.

Where would American be without migration?  \n\nI have no idea how you can sit there and say that white people are better than blacks because they've been chosen by God.  Are you crazy?! Even if you are a creationist and don't believe in evolution, the first people were in the MIDDLE EAST.  Jesus was JEWISH !  I mean - come on! \n\nPeople of all colors can be racist - sounds like your husband is. I grew up in Alabama, so let me tell you - there are a lot of obstacles that African Americans still have to overcome.  There are MILLIONS of racist white people and MILLIONS of racist black people.  You have to stop seeing people in regards to their skin color.\n\nJust so that you know - Britain, Spain and France didn't go around conquering countries so that they could "civilize" them.  They wanted MONEY and LAND - they took missionaries with them and converted the people to Christianity/Catholicism because it made them easier to deal with - easier to assimilate.\n\nDon't get it in your head that white people are better than blacks, Middle Easterners, or Asians.  That's RACIST, the very thing that you're accusing African Americans of.

Must you be judgmental.  You as a black person should know that is not fair to accuse all the black people that way, and instead of converting the Churches into colleges, why not build both, churches and colleges.  Or, is it that they should have one or the other but not both!  \n\nHow sad, just take them back to the cotton fields why don't you!? what an awful thought. (sarcastic)\n\nYou want to be an atheist, stop preaching to them, and let them be.  Live and Let live.\n\n---\nwhat is wrong with that is your idea is taking something away from them, and if they want a church, that they should have, and they also should have colleges as well.  Money!  in the end, no matter how much a college will cost to build, it will cost a lot less than having people in despair, unable to take care of themselves.  Feed the soul and spirit in the church, and feed the brain in the schools.  You need not to believe in what they believe, but if that what makes them feel good about themselves, then that what they should have.\n\nwhat good being an atheist is going to do for them! not much I believe, not much.\nLive and Let Live. for you the one who doesn't believe in God, and to all those who do believe.  That sir, is the only fair things to do.\nThanks.

I don't know of one.\n\nHowever, I do know of churches where gays are welcomed, and some that are often called "Gay Churches."  I've participated in a couple of them.

Ok, Jesus is portrayed as white because of Western culture influence. Vatican felt that people wouldn't want to follow the son of god if he looked arabic or black.

nothing wrong with that. Hanging with white people is more fun anyway. They buy you drinks. The cover charge is lower or sometimes zero at white bars and clubs. Plus, the world is a big place. Black people in general really need to expand thier world view. having some personal association with non-blacks is good way to gain a better perspective and greater appreciation for our own culture.

There is no place where Christianity dominates. Science dominates now (Against my liking)...\nAnyhow, I am not White anymore (Scott-Irish American) for a reason. Every other Race can call you White Trash, but if you talk back you are "racist". And, they can pull that out as their Ace in the sleeve.\n\nP.S. It seems that Revelation is Ignorant to everything but what he belives. And what he belives is that every other belief is ignorant.

Your painting the picture too black and white -- causing you to jump to a false conclusion.\n\nWhite people living in all white city have no exposure to the outside world -- and as a result they are incresingly blind deaf and dumb when it comes to understanding the problems of people in the world that aren't like them\n\nIt has nothing to do with wanting white people to live in the ghetto, but rather to have them exposed to the wide range of people and perspectives so that they are more sensitive to them.

That's a good question.  I couldn't find the answer online.  My advice is to either visit another church and ask them or visit a nearby government building (state capitol, city hall...) and ask them.  Somebody should know.

Church is the place where people in formal cloth do a brainwash to a foolish people\nhttp://wade3.jeeran.com/How.htm

Many African Americans are prejudiced.  I lived in Cincinnati for three years and noticed a disturbing trend of many black people blaming their problems on white people.  \n\nI agree with what you stated about there being all types of "black-oriented" channels and clubs that specifically target, and refer to, their people; this is a great example of a double standard.  I have noticed the same thing with other races having exclusitivity in regards to organizations: Asian and Hispanic television stations and social clubs for example. If there was anything that referred to white people, it would definitely be considered racist.  We have the liberal, PC-minded spineless masses to thank for not standing up for OUR rights. Amen!

"KatzPlace" ~ come-on now!! There just has to be church-goers who actually do go to church, otherwise there wouldn't be any church-goers. I mean the term CHURCH-GOERS wouldn't exist, if there weren't any.
