Kinfolks.
--------
Kinfolk before marriage, are not from choice; they are ours whether we like it or not.
Before marriage, man or woman can select one half of their future kinfolks. A man has the
right, and should use it, to select a woman, whose half blood will make his children, and
the woman should choose him, for his blood to dominate her children. If man is not willing
to take on a woman,s kinfolks, wisdom dictates for him to hitch his horse at some other
woman,s gate. A woman,s kinfolks are a part of herself, and if a man is not willing to
take them on, he had better leave her off by not making her his wife. Folly for a man to
say: I will marry and take her to a far country and escape them. It cannot be done. If the
man proves his worth, some will follow them, and if he is unfortunate in life, they will
disdain him. Running from kinfolks, is like running from the Devil, it never pays.
Kinfolks beyond fourth cousins, have about faded out. If a man is sorry, his kinship to
others, goes unclaimed; but if he proves himself to be an extraordinary person, his
kinfolks will claim him off to the tenth cousin, and any where beyond that, they would
swear, that he is on their ancestral line.
A man should love his kinfolks, whom God has given him; and those he has made for
himself, he should love them, for they did not ask him, to make them, akin to him. God
loves lots of people he cannot associate with, because they walk with Satan in sin. So
should a christian be with his wicked kinfolks, not walk with them in sin, but love them
like God, and ask them to come and walk with him, with God.
A man who is ashame of his kinfolks because they are not like himself is fixing himself
for a certain fall; for some where in time or eternity, God will bring him into the
presence of Beings so superior to him, he will hang his head in shame. "In as much as
ye did it to the least of these my brethren (kinfolks) ye did it until me." Jesus
called God his Father which was correct and no one was blood kin to Him, but His mother,
and that was a miracle. Jesus loved His mother, as her Son. John 19:26, 27. Paul loved his
kinfolks. Romans 9:3. I love all my kinfolks. Those who walk with God, I love with joy,
those who do not, I love in sympathy and pity.
The Lord Jesus Christ, is the only blood kin relative I know, who lived on earth 1936
years ago. For aught I know, some of my gentile ancestors, may have been at the
crucifiction of my elder Brother, may have used the hammer that drove the nails through
His hands and feet. Let that be as it may, I rejoice that I have the honor and the joy to
be His brother, through my life on earth. Matt. 12:50.
