It has always been an interesting symphony looking at this subject.

I would think it is more adequate to use both terms: intercultural and interracial.

Which race and which race?

The noticeable ratio between women's preference and men's preference, and the reasons behind it.

The comparison between the period of intercultural/interracial relationship and same race relationship. Why it is often not lasting.

In relationships, it is natural to seek after common interest. Having same cultural background generally provides a lot of common interests. Consequently, having less problems of differences. To isolate love from such, is the foolishness short of eternal value.

If a couple think that they could have a culture of their own, I believe they are way over their heads.

However, having a wide span of interest, bridging over to other cultures, that is a different story.

Without researching or looking hard, I can easily find a caucasian man or perhaps any non-asian man who has great interest in the Chinese culture. However, this is not so when it comes to women.

As far as whether there's any possibility at all to have a young caucasian woman (I choose the categories of Caucasian and youth because it would present the most unlikely case) who would take an interest in the Chinese culture seriously, I had always believed such exists in theory, until yesterday.

While greatly admiring these individuals, I am also aware of the danger of Noah's time drawing near.

For some prosperity theology pastors such as Rick Warren, it would be interesting to see how he manages his multi-dimensional motives. As Abraham Lincoln once said, no man has good enough memory to be a perfect liar.[@more@]

There are two ways we can choose to look at those who are better than us.

1. We strive to learn from them, better ourselves with our best efforts. 

2. We categorize them, placing ourselves in our own new category.

Unfortunately, the second approach is the fruit of jealousy and pride, masked in hypocrisy. For it assumes first of all, there can be categories, thereby using such to escape the responsibility God bestowed upon us to achieve perfection in Christ.

We should try our best efforts to better ourselves, discipline ourselves, and accept our individual limitations, which vary in measures.

I have seen irony in those who do not wish to obey this verse.

I have seen full-time servant of God, not willing to submit to husband, but somehow, consistently submitted to toleration of non-biblical doctrines, submitted to worldly praises, submitted to anthropocentric theology, submitted to prosperity theology, submitted to effeminacy, submitted to gossips, to rumors, to things not of God.

There are two kings in this world that people submit to: God and the devil.

Those who simply refuse or pretend to be humble by denying or despise their own authority, are actually equivalent to those dictatorial barbarians who abuse their authority.

For they pretend to give glory to God. But it is actually not to God the glory flows. Even so, such glory is not glory at all, it is unholy.
