Video: Crystal Springs Church that refused to marry black couple releases apology



This is an update, regarding the black couple who was not allowed to hold their wedding in a white church.  In the 21st century, First Baptist Church in Crystal Springs, Mississippi has issued an apology for not allowing the Wilson's to hold their wedding there.  We just cannot understand why certain parts of America are still dealing with the same old issue of racial discrimination when other parts are in controversy, regarding same sex marriage?   Why is there still racism, even in the church, which is supposed to be God's House?   Here we go again, like many other African Americans, the Wilson's finally received their apology for being judged by their skin color.


Time and time again, eventually African Americans receive an apology for facing racial discrimination, but it is so tiring in the 21st century.   As we mentioned in our previous article, the body of Christ will remain weak to stand against issues like gay marriage, if we do not learn to leave prejudice out of the House of God.  God is not pleased with this ancient issue, always being brought up on His land, because what this does is divides the body of Christ and strengthens certain groups like homosexuals to make marriage legal in America.   We should not be living in an era like similar to Jim Crow, this is just ridiculous.

SCR readers, Jesus is on His way back.   When Jesus Christ told us in His Word, he would come like a thief in the night, He meant it and if we are not ready, we are going to miss the rapture.  How many times have we informed you, racism was invented by the Devil to take away focus off of God's Kingdom?  Yes, we really do believe racism was invented by Satan and this is why there are strongholds within our society of America where there is supposed to be so much diversity.

The church member speaking on this following video claims there were some individuals who intimidated the pastor.  Then, we hear the pastor admit he did not want to cause a controversy.   In our opinion, church members are not supposed to rule the pastor, the pastor is the head of the church and he or she should have the power to marry a black couple in a white church or even a white couple in a black church.   Really saints of God, there should not be any white or black church, it's God's church and we are His people who are supposed to have no trace of racism in our spirits.   When we stand in judgement at the end of our lives, God is going to reveal our lives to us and it is very scary to think about it, after acknowledging there are is still racism in this era, even within the church.   No wonder, many political legislatures are not paying attention to Christians whom oppose gay marriage.  When they see this kind of mess, they will pay no attention to what is right and wrong.  Therefore, this ancient demon of racism must cease the entire body of Christ.


You know, another thing we find very interesting is the documentary, 'Finding Booker's Place' we saw on Dateline NBC, at the end a few African Americans spoke as though they dealt with no racism and they were in unity with white Mississippians.  This does not seem to be the case, after hearing about the Wilson's not being able to be married in a church where whites are the majority.  

In the meantime, we are going to pray for the Wilson's.  Also, we will continue to pray against the demon of racism that goes on anywhere in America.

Church that refused to marry black couple releases apology

By Jeffrey Elizabeth Copeland, CNN

(CNN)–After barring a black couple from marrying in its Mississippi facility in late July, the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs released a statement Sunday apologizing for its actions.

“We, the church, realize that the Hendersons and Wilsons should never have been asked to relocate their wedding. This wrong decision resulted in hurt and sadness for everyone. Both the pastor and those involved in the wedding location being changed have expressed their regrets and sorrow for their actions,” the church said.

White Church Bans Black Couple's Wedding: Why are we still dealing with racial issues in the church?


In the 21st century, this black couple, Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson was denied to have a wedding at a white church in Crystal Springs, MS.   This situation is very foreign to us who are living in a society that is so diverse, but yet dealing with controversial issues of gay marriage, even in the church.   However, many African Americans whom reside in the deep South in states like Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina and even Alabama are yet dealing with racial inequality.   We cannot understand why we yet face such issues of racial discrimination when the true body of Christ is trying to combat same sex couples from changing God's original plan for marriage in America and also in foreign countries.

Furthermore, we cannot comprehend why Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson did not just leave and allow another pastor to marry them, if they could not have a wedding in this white church, which is supposed to be God's House?   Although, this married couple was visiting this church and did not join, it makes us wonder about their personal preferences.  What made them choose to be among an all white congregation, as though they did not think they would face such prejudice in Mississippi?  Maybe they think we all have arrived, but really we have not in those specific states mentioned above, because racial discrimination is still a big issue among them.  Possibly, the Wilson's were tired of the ignorance among their own race of people and thought the white congregants would show them more love, which has not always worked in the history of America.  Whatever the case, Satan has a plan for each part of the country in America.  If you notice, in some states, there is division about homosexuality and in other states, there are still ancient divisions among races as though they are yet living back in the Jim Crow era.   Saints of God, what this couple experienced was only a game planned by demonic forces.   Now, if a gay couple was to try and get married in that same church, we wonder what would happen?  Would they accept a white gay couple or would they deny them, because it is a sin, according to God's Word?  Sometimes, in our opinion, we think white gays are more accepted than African Americans in this age, but in Mississippi, they may not have embraced gay marriage, but it would be very interesting to find out where they stand on that issue.

Saints of God, the white church, black church and even multicultural churches are missing out on God and may end up in hell, because they are not supposed to be focusing on race.  Race should no longer divide the true body of Christ.   How are we ever going to stand strong in unity against Satan's tactics of homosexuality being condoned in this country, if we do not avoid racism?
