Chinese people have lived in South Africa for many generations

Chinese people have been coming to the country's shores for hundreds of years. Some of them have called South Africa home for generations. There are many mixed cultures, traditions, and identities, but the Chinese community is making every effort to integrate into the wider society. Lindy Mtongana has that story

Thokomagonya Ndlovu yeah, that’s her, she’s the one who told me we all started as one so we should live as one, now was your mama lying?

[@nadialove2048]

Thokomagonya Ndlovu, God said we will be mingled with heathens? Lol, and you feel in your heart that’s a good thing with him and that he said that? Do you know and understand the word of God? He told his people NOT TO GO AMONG THE UNGODLY, and such people and to separate from among them, but yes if you turn away from his words and do Contrary to his laws and status he will send you among them and you will learn their wicked ways and become much like they are because of your disobedience, why do you think many are sitting up in church every Sunday? It’s because they are disobedient so God send them among the wolves, the heathen and disobedience, and God telling his people to separate from among them have nothing to do with the color of people, this have to do with our righteousness or our wickedness.

[@nadialove2048]

Thokomagonya Ndlovu you believe in your doctrine and I’ll believe in what God revealed unto me, and that is his law, statutes and commandments have nothing to do with the color of our skin when indeed we all came from one blood, so I don’t know where you got you learning from, but if you are willing I can teach you a thing or two because you are lost.

[@nadialove2048]

Thokomagonya Ndlovu Fist of all do tell me which part of my comment is not biblical, second, you have the scriptures but do you have the interpretations of the scriptures? Third I can go real deep into 2 Corinthians 11: 4, about what it actually means but you know what? You are too weak for that because you are unlearned, third how is it there is another Jesus when indeed Jesus said he is the same yesterday today and forever and he is unchangeable, he said he was in the world and the world knew him no, we all are from one blood and one nation in the beginning with one language until the separation of men because of people like you and you false sayings and views, Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation When Solomon said he was black he was speaking through the spirit which means God was speaking through him and what God was saying through Solomon when he said he is black and comely is he (GOD) is a mystery and his mystery is so deep and beautiful no man can see through him and search him out because he is un searchable and is behind curtains just like the tent of Kedar, (tent of Kedar meaning darkened) that is why he said he stretched out like a curtain, meaning he is dark like a mystery but all over, Solomon didn’t mean he is actually black, he was merely describing the coming of Jesus and (the spirit which represents the bride) and how Jesus was preparing to build the true temple for the children of Jerusalem (meaning his people) which are the holy and righteous, the saints, the disciples, the virgins, the chosen ones ( NOT BY COLOR) Now, can you see through a black murky water? No! So you won’t be able to see a crocodile or an alligator sneaking up on you right? That is what God was saying, Jesus said his skin is of bronze not black.
