Posted: 1/2/2006 10:18:00 PM | Through the power of Google, I found something that should intrest the OP a great deal. Check out the second paragraph.
WE FIGHT NOT FOR GLORY, NOR FOR WEALTH NOR HONOURS,
BUT ONLY AND ALONE WE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
WHICH NO GOOD MAN SURRENDERS BUT WITH HIS LIFE..."
(Declaration of Arbroath 6th.April 1320)
The Declaration of Arbroath
To the most Holy Father and Lord in Christ, the Lord John, by divine providence Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Roman and Universal Church, his humble and devout sons Duncan, Earl of Fife, Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, Lord of Man and of Annandale, Patrick Dunbar, Earl of March, Malise, Earl of Strathearn, Malcolm, Earl of Lennox, William, Earl of Ross, Magnus, Earl of Caithness and Orkney, and William, Earl of Sutherland; Walter, Steward of Scotland, William Soules, Butler of Scotland, James, Lord of Douglas, Roger Mowbray, David, Lord of Brechin, David Graham, Ingram Umfraville, John Menteith, guardian of the earldom of Menteith, Alexander Fraser, Gilbert Hay, Constable of Scotland, Robert Keith, Marischal of Scotland, Henry St Clair, John Graham, David Lindsay, William Oliphant, Patrick Graham, John Fenton, William Abernethy, David Wemyss, William Mushet, Fergus of Ardrossan, Eustace Maxwell, William Ramsay, William Mowat, Alan Murray, Donald Campbell, John Cameron, Reginald Cheyne, Alexander Seton, Andrew Leslie, and Alexander Straiton, and the other barons and freeholders and the whole community of the realm of Scotland send all manner of filial reverence, with devout kisses of his blessed feet.
Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today. The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since. In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken by a single foreigner.
The high qualities and deserts of these people, were they not otherwise manifest, gain glory enough from this: that the King of kings and Lord of lords, our Lord Jesus Christ, after His Passion and Resurrection, called them, even though settled in the uttermost parts of the earth, almost the first to His most holy faith. Nor would He have them confirmed in that faith by merely anyone but by the first of His Apostles -- by calling, though second or third in rank -- the most gentle Saint Andrew, the Blessed Peter's brother, and desired him to keep them under his protection as their patron for ever.
The Most Holy Fathers your predecessors gave careful heed to these things and bestowed many favours and numerous privileges on this same kingdom and people, as being the special charge of the Blessed Peter's brother. Thus our nation under their protection did indeed live in freedom and peace up to the time when that mighty prince the King of the English, Edward, the father of the one who reigns today, when our kingdom had no head and our people harboured no malice or treachery and were then unused to wars or invasions, came in the guise of a friend and ally to harass them as an enemy. The deeds of cruelty, massacre, violence, pillage, arson, imprisoning prelates, burning down monasteries, robbing and killing monks and nuns, and yet other outrages without number which he committed against our people, sparing neither age nor sex, religion nor rank, no one could describe nor fully imagine unless he had seen them with his own eyes.
But from these countless evils we have been set free, by the help of Him Who though He afflicts yet heals and restores, by our most tireless Prince, King and Lord, the Lord Robert. He, that his people and his heritage might be delivered out of the hands of our enemies, met toil and fatigue, hunger and peril, like another Macabaeus or Joshua and bore them cheerfully. Him, too, divine providence, his right of succession according to our laws and customs which we shall maintain to the death, and the due consent and assent of us all have made our Prince and King. To him, as to the man by whom salvation has been wrought unto our people, we are bound both by law and by his merits that our freedom may be still maintained, and by him, come what may, we mean to stand.
Yet if he should give up what he has begun, and agree to make us or our kingdom subject to the King of England or the English, we should exert ourselves at once to drive him out as our enemy and a subverter of his own rights and ours, and make some other man who was well able to defend us our King; for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
Therefore it is, Reverend Father and Lord, that we beseech your Holiness with our most earnest prayers and suppliant hearts, inasmuch as you will in your sincerity and goodness consider all this, that, since with Him Whose Vice-Regent on earth you are there is neither weighing nor distinction of Jew and Greek, Scotsman or Englishman, you will look with the eyes of a father on the troubles and privations brought by the English upon us and upon the Church of God. May it please you to admonish and exhort the King of the English, who ought to be satisfied with what belongs to him since England used once to be enough for seven kings or more, to leave us Scots in peace, who live in this poor little Scotland, beyond which there is no dwelling-place at all, and covet nothing but our own. We are sincerely willing to do anything for him, having regard to our condition, that we can, to win peace for ourselves.
This truly concerns you, Holy Father, since you see the savagery of the heathen raging against the Christians, as the sins of Christians have indeed deserved, and the frontiers of Christendom being pressed inward every day; and how much it will tarnish your Holiness's memory if (which God forbid) the Church suffers eclipse or scandal in any branch of it during your time, you must perceive. Then rouse the Christian princes who for false reasons pretend that they cannot go to the help of the Holy Land because of wars they have on hand with their neighbours. The real reason that prevents them is that in making war on their smaller neighbours they find quicker profit and weaker resistance. But how cheerfully our Lord the King and we too would go there if the King of the English would leave us in peace, He from Whom nothing is hidden well knows; and we profess and declare it to you as the Vicar of Christ and to all Christendom.
But if your Holiness puts too much faith in the tales the English tell and will not give sincere belief to all this, nor refrain from favouring them to our prejudice, then the slaughter of bodies, the perdition of souls, and all the other misfortunes that will follow, inflicted by them on us and by us on them, will, we believe, be surely laid by the Most High to your charge.
To conclude, we are and shall ever be, as far as duty calls us, ready to do your will in all things, as obedient sons to you as His Vicar; and to Him as the Supreme King and Judge we commit the maintenance of our cause, casting our cares upon Him and firmly trusting that He will inspire us with courage and bring our enemies to nought. May the Most High preserve you to his Holy Church in holiness and health and grant you length of days.
Given at the monastery of Arbroath in Scotland on the sixth day of the month of April in the year of grace thirteen hundred and twenty and the fifteenth year of the reign of our King aforesaid.

Posted: 1/2/2006 10:27:53 PM | Nice thread title. Do I tolerate intolerance? Hell no!! 
As for the post that was referenced, I didn't look, so I didn't find it, so I don't know. Some of the ideas in here are kinda cute, though. I really like the one that the KKK uses to say that persons of colour are less than human beings. Funny stuff.
As for the "lost tribes" gig, it's an interesting idea. However, I'm still operating under the impression that the human diaspora out of Africa happened a good deal before most of the events in the Bible. Including before the flood account. So, I dunno.
As for being cursed, I thought the whole point behind Judeo-Christian belief was that the species is cursed. You know, the whole "original sin" thing? | |

Posted: 1/2/2006 10:55:18 PM | Ya, I posted it and it's true, at least the Pics of northern Scotland,
and that's why they need Jesus to break that curse over them, Jesus breaks all curses,
and expelled is a weak term, Joshua or as they called him chased them across Africa, as I explained, because of their father cursing his father Noah (Noah put the curse back on them to be servents), they couldn't mix with the Israelites or the Israelites would have received the curse and couldn't be the chosen people that could bring in the Messiah. In other words Jesus wasn't called to be born in bondage, like Ishmeal the son of a slave woman was, and look at the curse on them every ones hand will be against his brother,
Until they receive Jesus they will continue under that curse also.
have a curse free day, get the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues

Posted: 1/3/2006 1:24:11 AM | | Well, since (from what all I've read) the Picts are effectively extinct, that answers the question, doesn't it? Or, at least it's a moot point, wouldn't you say? For the sake of hypothetical/theoretical postulation (or whatever), though, let's look at the whole "curse" thing, shall we? Is that a curse from Noah? Is it a curse from Jehovah? If it's from Noah, would his God support a curse on an entire bloodline for what I read as being the mistake of one guy? I don't know, man, something about that interpretation just doesn't seem to sit quite right... (I need a shrug smiley) | |

Posted: 1/3/2006 1:25:53 AM | Thanks Robert for your detailed research and knowledge.
thanks david as well and you seem more versed in these things than i
I am from Aberdeen Scotland where the picts were strong and I may be descended from them and I cant believe that I am more cursed than other races of people. I pray and read the bible and God has never made that known to me. I think that either God doesn't exist or that the curse doesn't exist. I know God exists. I just cannot see why God himself would put a wedge between me and himself and I say he has not displayed those actions to me or made me aware of them. Unless oofcourse he is talking through you. If the curse is true then what am I to do about it?. | |

Posted: 1/5/2006 3:18:46 PM | I have tolerated it. A neighbor a fews months ago said something pretty racist about another neighbor's kids and it bothered me. I didn't say a word because I didn't want to get into a fight. I just let it go and left. I feel bad about it now.
I think we all have roots in the bible. I also believe a lot of people here in the USA, United Kingdom, Scottland.....etc are descendants of the 10 tribes of Israel that were scattered when Assyria took over the north portion of Israel. I personally don't see the racism. | |

Posted: 1/5/2006 9:55:30 PM | Lets look at real racism,
That would be a black man that believes black women are inferior and wishes to marry a superior white woman or asain woman, and she also believes black women are inferior and having no regard for black women, that she also believes to be inferior marries or dates the black man, making one less husband left for a black woman and making many (I learn this from counseling), black women angery at black men and white women, whom some black woman believe steal their husbans or boy friends.
so much for the ethical practices.
As for logic we would say, that since the divorce rate among mixed marriages is astronomical, that it would be stupid, from a logical point of view to marry out side of ones race. We also, in studying psychology, see something called race thoughts or race memory, in other words things people have in common from common ancestors or at least common as race such as Black, white, asian, Indian, and area such as European or Indian. With out this commonality what chance do people have of Marriage or relatiion ship.
Now, for moral aspect, what does God say? Well, he says, the fallen angels went after strange flesh. Also, we see the omincient (all knowing God Yahoveh), joinging certin people together to make races [they were created by God], Now, what God has joined let no man put asunder (that is separate again).
Have a nice non racist day,

Wow, just wow.

I'd venture to say that divorce period is rampant, regardless of mixed marriages. And just an "in your face" footnote, my parents, who are not only different races, but also practice different faiths, are still enjoying 50+ years of marriage....
I seem to recall a little something that I read where one of the "lost tribes" of Israel ventured to North America and became an indigenous tribe of Native folk. And that a Jesus figure spent time with them and said he would return. For the life of me I can't remember where I heard this tidbit, but I have my doubts.
Personally, I reject racism and all its' ugly and obscene implications. Truly, if one embraces or indulges in any facet of this line of thought, then they're not all that bright, in my opinion. To be judged solely on the colour of your skin is the absolute epitomy of ignorance.

but it doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes. - Avenue Q
Sure I admit that i'm a little racist. there are certain groups that i find particular annoying. But honestly, it's more geared towards people that i find stupid or annoying rather then a whole ethnic group. Additionally, I sometimes stereotype when it comes to certain groups.
But does it mean I'm going to go out an kill or discriminate against them? - no, why should i? | |

Posted: 10/29/2007 5:50:52 AM | I was visiting a new church nearby one Sunday and I had noticed some seemingly lofty glances from some of the members that were attending this church and it appeared to follow the arrival of others that were of different ethnic groups that differed from the majority of members attending already.And I believe that the coolest one in the whole church to me,was my little one that said,"Mom everyone is so beautiful just like the colors of a rainbow" ....And to further those thoughts,I believe that God hangs us a rainbow after the rain to remind us that 'the spirit' never forgets and nor should we...this is just my belief.....But I see cracks in the rainbow...cracks that separate people because of racism,prejudices,social distance,social status,discrimination and so on.....
I wrote a poem in reference to this and please note that this was written based on just my personal belief and not intended to be presented as universal for all:
Cracks in the rainbow
They wrote a prescription
to sell me what everyone dreams.
But the cards have been stacked in the deck
all around me it seems....
True melting pot,
some Brunswick stew....
Yet I have to assimilate
adopt
foster,
give up part of me...making this "stable" status quo true.
Permission to dominate
or escape....
An unearned privilege predetermined in the womb.
To acknowledge
but option to ignore what it means
is the ultimate privilege that one can consume....
Got my hand reached out
to fill in the cracks in the rainbow.
But for some cats to stay that high,
they need to keep others down below.....
The camouflage,
back door part of the American dream.
Sometimes this is what I see.
But I'm gonna keep reaching out
to make a righteous difference with every part of me.
Operator, please connect me to social distance.
Every time I try to get through,I'm feelin' resistance.
Categorize
Standardize
Institutionalize
Conventionalize
Normalize
Systematize.......
But if one complains,they are only labeled as rebellious or someone that rants,
by the ones that are conditioned to oblivion about the existence to this song and dance....
Running through the matrix ....
cut-out patterns that are sometimes preconceived.
So maybe one should shake my family tree
before one does an institutional profiling on me....
The ones that journeyed before me ......history calls it "the trail of tears."......
This forceful control and separation because of someone else's trail of fears.
Some mythology,and some history are binded by fear...
Sometimes even the "heroic rugged individualist" has been taught not to see,
in fear that merit and virtue alone may not have gotten them here.....
I'm not trying to take away from the hard work,or struggles it to took to fulfill the dream
but only to acknowledge the nameless unearned privileges that goes unseen........
And we must try and make a difference.....
and not just in being good,
or just in saying what is good,
but the "doing" differently
and "doing" good for a shared well being.....this human circle.....
(Again I should add,this post in it's entirety is just my personal belief...which could mean that I could be wrong or I could be right...but my beliefs are in my words.) | |

Can anyone shed light on this for me.
Regarding the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. After a three years siege and the final fall of Samaria with it's becoming of an Assyrian Province in @ 611 B.C. Israel migrated North over the Caucasus Mountains (where we get our word 'Caucasian' from) and settled Europe, eventually populating Scotland, Ireland, Britain, Iceland, and ultimately crossing westward over the seas and established the Americas. We are the descendants of the lost Northern Ten Tribes of Israel. That does not mean that we are Jewish, if you do a study on original 12 tribes descended from Jacob/Israel you will see that Judah (the Jewish peoples) is only one of those twelve tribes | |

Posted: 10/29/2007 7:59:30 AM | | How do you figure this is anti semitic ? Many people from Europe and the Americas are decendants of Israel. There were 12 tribes not one. The Jewish nation/poeple are decendants from the tribe of Juda. The other tribes did not disappear off the face of the earth. They migrated over the cacarass mountains into Europe and the surrounding areas. Many living today in America are from the same family, that is to say Israel. We are blood relatives. Why would one want to be anti against his/her own blood relations. I know I wouldn't. If all of this sounds strange to you, do a study on it, check me out. | |

Posted: 10/29/2007 8:23:36 AM | The simple fact is that the white Christian Identity movement makes these claims. they will tell you that the people we call Jews today, are not,the ancient israelites. The whole theory of lost tribe migrating over Caucasus mountains has been debunked a 100 times over.
There is serious research DNA research being done on the lost tribes.
I might have jumped the gun on inplying you are anti semitic. You may have simply fallen into the trap of believing part of the white Christian Identity movement theory. | |

Posted: 10/29/2007 9:19:30 AM | Most people descended from Israel?!?!?!?!
0.o
Wow. I don't know what's worse: the perversion of History, or the innocent acceptance of same.
No, the majority of the world did NOT in fact, descend from Israel. Your premise would dictate that, around 611 BCE, the world was this big empty nothing, and a bunch of "Lost Tribes" just wandered around making cities. Sorry, but no. There were other peoples living in Europe, the Native Tribes had been in North Amnerica for eons, the Gauls, Etruscans, and Goths inhabited Europe, etc., etc.
"Caucasian" is indeed derived from the Caucasus mountains, but it does not mean that all caucasians are descendants of a single tribe that crossed them. Rather, it stems from the shady and biased agendas of nineteenth century scholars: and data from their "studies" were often used, and quoted, by such extremists as the National Socialst Party in Germany.
The term "Caucasian" originated as one of the racial categories recognized by 19th century craniology and is derived from the region of the Caucasus mountains.
Craniology being the study of skull shapes.
Blumenbach based the classification of the Caucasian race primarily on skull features, which Blumenbach claimed were optimized by the Caucasian peoples, particularly a single skull from the Caucauses which resembled German skulls. It was from this similarity that he conjectured Europeans having arisen in the Caucauses. Blumenbach writes about the "primeval" Caucasian race which he believed was "the oldest race of man" and the "first variety of humankind".
Here we see the justification for much of the racist bullshit that was prevalent all over Europe up until very recently: the concept that white people were somehow more "perfect" than non-whites.
The concept of the Caucasian race was first coined by 18th century anthropologist Christoph Meiners, but it was first widely popularized under the name "Varietas Caucasia" by the German scientist and classical anthropologist, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840) who "borrowed the name Caucasian" from Meiners.
See? The term is a fairly new one, and is by no means indicative of the entirety of mankind, or even light-skinned peoples, descending from semitic tribes. To continue exploring the topic of caucasian:
18th century anthropologist Christoph Meiners, who first defined the Caucasian race, posited a "binary racial scheme" of "two races" with the Caucasian whose racial purity was exemplified by the "venerated... ancient Germans" with some Europeans being impure "dirty whites" and "Mongolians" who consisted of everyone else. Meiners did not include the Jews as Caucasians and ascribed them a "permanently degenerate nature".
Right there, these same scholars who interpreted the archaeological evidence in such a way as to promote their own racial supremacy specifically exclude the jews and semitic peoples. Regreattably, this behavior had been prevalent in Europe for centuries.
My point?
I'm not saying that I think you're a racist, or anti-semitic, or any of that. At all. I'm sure that wasn't your intent. However, the notion that all "caucasians" stem from a "lost tribe of Israel" is, to be blunt, not true. This theory is often used by white supremacy grousp to justify their barbarous treatment of minorities, and the spread of this misguided concept is a blight and perversion of History. History is full of enough bizarre circumstances and strange oddities without the need for fabrications to make it seem more exciting. | |

Posted: 10/29/2007 9:22:28 AM | Thank you once again, Artz for correctly pointing out anti-Semitic posts. The original premise of this thread is greatly flawed. And Yes, suzzzzieQ, it's anti semitic. The people from Europe and the Americas who are Jewish can trace their roots. Furthermore modern DNA tests today confirm that. They also, in some cases, have found some some lost tribes, for example in Ethiopia. There was a case of a group of people who kept some strange customs, strangely reminiscent of Judaism. When DNA tests were run, the was indeed a connection!
But until such actual evidence is found, the idea that the original people of Scotland and of America were cursed people who had been expelled from Israel is indeed racist, anti-Semitic, ugly, and has no basis in fact. Note the "cursed" and "expelled" parts. This is not a nice little family tale. | |

"And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.” Ezekiel 38: 22
"Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.” Ezekiel 7:25
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword” Matthew 10:34
"The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven." Deuteronomy 29:20
"Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground." Genesis 19: 24-25
"For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent and My anger will be directed to their destruction." Isaiah 10:25
"They are coming from a far country, from the farthest horizons, The LORD and His instruments of indignation, To destroy the whole land." Isaiah 13:5

Posted: 10/29/2007 10:25:28 AM | What has all this tripe got to do with God? Our species came from Africa and spread throughout europe outcompeting the neanderthals as they were able to exist on fewer calories per day in a time of hardship. The neanderthals had a bigger brain than us but we were smaller and more organised.
God cursed the scots? Only with red hair! The picts didn't become "extinct" they're still there. The pictish tribes were walled in by the romans who were scared of them. This is a war machine that conquered most of the known world. They took one look into what became scotland saw these blue painted, red haired, skirt wearing bunch and thought sod that and built a wall to keep them out. England put most of them into the army in the clearances and they murdered anyone they were pointed at. The british empire was carved out by the scots.
When they'd got that out of their systems the scots became the greatest minds of our time. Their feats of engineering and invention are staggering for such a small population. Every time you watch TV, make a phone call or drive on a road think of scotland.
Does anyone actually believe that the garden of eden really existed? | |
