ONE
Philippians 2:1-4 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
We were created to be one. One with GOD and one with each other. There is only one world, one people and one Love. God is Love and Love is God. There is only one genetic code [D.N.A.]. All of the life forms that you see around you are different variations of that code. What makes people unique is our human genome. Now when I say unique, I mean different from other species. For as a kind or species, we are the same genetically. God did not create us to evolve; rather, He created us to adapt to our environment. Thus, we have very, very slight and minute differences. For instance, people from Asia come from a windy environment. Thus, their bodies adapted by slanting their eyes to shield them from dust and debris. Skin color is an adaptation to shield people from the sun in warmer climates, such as Africa, and to absorb more sun in places such as England and Ireland where it is notoriously cloudy. It is so brilliant how the Father works. I marvel at His creativity and ingenuity. We all came from the Garden of Eden. It was sunny and warm there. So, it is likely that Adam and Eve were some medium color. Adam’s fall from grace created separation – separation from God and each other. Man was forced to leave Eden. As we multiplied, we went separate ways and into different environments. Thus, we adapted and developed slight differences. The same occurred after the great flood. Those adaptations combined with the sin in our hearts caused us to hate each other based on our differences. Racism is idiocy since there is truly only one race – the human race. (more…)
