THE UNPARALLEL STATE OF OUR RACE
|
Posted By: Ann Mack on September 26, 2017 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.~ Genesis 1:27 (NIV) September 9, 2017 Lately, the main topic of discussion seems to be immigration and the need to put up a wall for keeping people who have been termed illegals from crossing over into the US. But, I truly wonder what would have happened to Moses and the children of Israel if a wall was constructed to keep them from escaping Egypt for a better life or way of living in the PROMISED LAND of Canaan!! Sadly, we have been ROYALLY DECEIVED and encouraged to hate as well as deny others of what we so desperately want for ourselves! We make up excuses to justify our Pharaoh like bigotry behavior and tell ourselves we are protecting the US from the big bad wolf who wants to take our jobs along with overcrowding our cities. The events of history have been changed or rewritten throughout time to give power or leverage to a selective control base, group or person. Are you aware of how you can change the results of a test in a lab experiment based on the selected control agent to get a desired outcome? In that same context, are you not aware of how easy it is to rig a race or an election? Well, are you not aware that many definitions in the dictionary have been changed based on what the controlling power base wants you to believe? Do you even know that the minds of many have been manipulated within a controlled learning environment (institution or organization); specifically, an institution of education? Yes, education and knowledge are very important! In fact, God references in Hosea how His children are destroyed (ruined) for a lack of knowledge. There is, most certainly, nothing wrong with education, training and growth when it is associated with integrity! But, if you are familiar with Dr. Carter G. Woodson and his book, The Miseducation of the Negro, then you should also be aware of how people can deliberately be misled and taught incorrectly. English, math and science should be universally unchangeable curriculums of study taught at various levels. God is the same, yesterday, tomorrow and forevermore. HIS word is very clear and unchangeable as HE encourages us to study to show ourselves approved in rightly dividing the word of TRUTH to apply it to our everyday life! But, many of us want to pick and choose what we adhere to and abide in! Not many of us are able to effectively apply our education and knowledge to our everyday life to make it work for us and we have even more difficulty comprehending the word of God to understand it as intended by God. We, unfortunately, rely on our own intellect by leaning towards our own understanding which has been shaped by our controlled environment style of education to hinder our growth and acknowledgement of TRUTH. We deny the existence of God, His word, Heaven and Hell while refusing to see what needs to be seen in the belief of many lies to include the ideology or definition of race. There is a great deal of debate as to the origin of the word or term race which was initially termed to denote live stock and speed. Race as recognized by modern culture today widely became the topic of discussion during the existence of slavery to reference human differences or racial classification of equality and inequality; a subdivision of the human race or species as identified by shared similarities and other inherited traits. However, the Bible refers to differing people in terms; such as: tribe, nation, family and people in accordance to geographical area. Genesis details the beginning of the world to include the creation of the human race on the sixth day; but, I grew up believing that the world was comprised of a number of different races which was and still is being reinforced by our learning institutions and surrounding environment. Today, I am learning to do my own research and analyze facts to replace what was taught to me by TRUTH in receipt of REVELATION from the Lord. My knowledge has evolved to understand that there are various cultures of people through-out the world and their difference in skin tone was initially (historically) contributed and determined by their inhabited migration along with their geographical proximity to the equator and the sun. The greater or hotter the sun, the darker the skin tone or the presence and development of melanin as a form of protection while the more colder climate geographical areas were responsible for aiding in the production of less melanin in people and producing lighter skin tones. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes and it is the dark brown to black pigment that gives human skin, hair, and eyes their color. It provides the skin a form of protection from the sun and the presence of melanocytes increases the production of melanin in response to sun exposure; but, at the same time, the sun can also be harmful. Freckles, which occur in people of all races, are small concentrated areas of increased melanin production. (Read http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art... Of course many folks would be more apt to disbelieve the biology and chemistry of the sun as it relates to skin tone which is very ironic concerning the emphasis and importance placed on education. However, like any and everything else, guidance is set and rules are broken at will in accordance to what works for the control base even if it is wrong! Nonetheless, in the words of Dr. Randy J. Guliuzza, "the Lord Jesus Christ put the human body together to function as a whole. With unsurpassed scientific genius, God designed a complex process - using many different systems - that is capable of generating the protective compound melanin. With power beyond comprehension, He spoke into existence something that requires almost a hundred genes directing hundreds of enzymatic reactions controlling events which are not arranged in basic linear sequences; but, as a vast diverse multidirectional network - with layers of overlapping feedback and control, all acting in a goal-oriented fashion. What an amazing display of His love and glory" for us ALL! We, unfortunately, have a lot to learn as it pertains to the fruit of the SPIRIT, the character of CHRIST and the ways of God as TRUE CHRISTIANS! As one race, the human race, we ALL are a part of a whole and have yet to realize that a fight against one is a fight against God. He created us ALL and EVERYTHING created by Him is good! We have been out of order for a while; but, God does EVERYTHING decently and in order (1 Corinthians 14:40). HE has given us a command to love our neighbors as we love ourselves (Mark 12:31) and we have failed to honor God and HIS word over and over again! We failed Him in the Garden of Eden. We failed Him in the city of Sodom and Gomorrah. When will we learn to do what is right in accordance to the will of God? What if the tables were turned, would we want to be isolated from our BROTHERS and treated the same way? Sharing an old Cherokee Indian Prayer: O Great SPIRIT, who made ALL races, look kindly upon the whole human family, and take away the arrogance and hatred which separates us from our BROTHERS.
