“There are a lot of local CI communities which most CI people do not even hear of. But a lot of them also have their own peculiar doctrines, and some indeed merit a sort of cult status in their own way.
From what I have seen, however, in my personal experience, except for a very few exceptions there are very few true and total racially exclusive CI pastors. Most of the non-two-seedline CI pastors and half of the so-called two-seedline pastors compromise on the race issue in one way or another.
Peters, Barley, Jones, Weiland, now James (November), who can count the CI Pastors who do NOT compromise on the race issue? What good is a whole congregation of Israel if it accepts the persons of bastards?
And a lot of people who follow CI hate the arguments, but often it is because they do not have the stomach and backbone required to stand on principal. To hell with numbers, principal matters first in the eyes of God.
I would love to have conferences, and communion at the feasts. Those things require a level of committment and support which far too few people are willing to offer to those who do not compromise. Therefore, I would rather stay alone, than have communion with those who do.”
Then Jonah went out from the city and sat east of it. There he made a shelter for himself and sat under it in the shade until he could see what would happen in the city. So the Lord God appointed a plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head to deliver him from his discomfort. And Jonah was extremely happy about the plant. But God appointed a worm when dawn came the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered. When the sun came up God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he became faint and begged with all his soul to die, saying, “Death is better to me than life.”
Then God said to Jonah, “Do you have good reason to be angry about the plant?” And he said, “I have good reason to be angry, even to death.” Then the Lord said, “You had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which came up overnight and perished overnight. Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know the difference between their right and left hand, as well as many animals?”
