Re: [TruthTalk] To Sir With Love

[Judy Taylor]

I saw the movie years and years ago Blaine; the good looking Sidney Poitier played the black man with the big heart... but like all else that eminates from Hollywood this too is fantasy. Jesus went to the cross to enable us to deal with reality as well as to invite us to experience a supernatural love that far exceeds the imaginations of Hollywood screen writers.    As for "Noblesse Oblige" this too is delusion; God's Word - the Spirit of the great equalizer who spoke through the prophets says:   "Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity."
