God: Universalist and Globalist!

Now, you would think that all humans would understand that humanity is one race on one planet: this is so fundamental, most children cognize this fact! God looks at God's Creation as one thing, one entity if you will: God does not respect, nor recognize, human made divisions such as culture, country or politics. In fact the Bible states that God will force globalization on the planet by returning to become dictator of Earth. At that time all traces of "My Country" or "My Religion" or "My ...whatever" will be rendered void...by God! So where do humans get the idea that "their group", whatever in hell that is, has any basis in reality? The answer is both simple and measurable: Fact! It is a Socio-Pathology that I write about extensively, but will make a brief here!
Oneness is the overwhelming theme of the New Testament. There is no way that anyone can miss this theme. Indeed, all of St. John 17 is Jesus' (and the longest) Prayer about oneness. Unity is the evidence that a person understands this fundamental principle, and antithetically, separatist mindsets are the evidence that humans have no cognition of God, whatsoever: They are the lost of the lost! The Bible teaches about the fact that there are those who are "un-savable"; that is, their pride is more powerful than God's Love: God cannot save them! This is how/why God knows that the bulk of humanity will perish eternally. Most humans are literally hell-bent on disunity, and that "observable fact" is manifest in every/all forms of human division/s. we see it in the dividing up of nations, religions, skin melanin (race), politics, economics and the like. The lost are all those who's mind thinks in separatist themes. Most humans are simply incapable of seeing themselves as an equal part of the human whole, and actually live their entire lives seeking to be superior in some way, to the rest.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Since the day we were created, our free will has gotten us humans into all troubles. We are willful indeed, and no other feature of the human condition better demonstrates that fact...than human pride. In fact, human pride is the only reason that anyone will be left behind in the next life (the hell bound if you will!). Pride is the curse of volition, and yet we hear the word used by people in the positive: Gay pride; I'm proud of MY Country; take pride in your this/that; the idea of being prideful has been normalized by cultures to the point that it has become a trophy for the ego! When a person is proud of ANYTHING that has its roots in disunity, they are loveless beings. God taught what Love is, via the life and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, but of course, those teachings, those words, have been twisted to accommodate those trapped in the void of loveless intent: Pride! Human ego becomes the true god of the loveless, and so while they pretend to love and care, their lifestyles are racked with selfish, self-serving agendas (X 6 billion of us) that are today, actually killing the Eden God gave us (Earth). God gave the first humans everything in Eden, asking that they abstain from just one of multitudes of available resources. What occurred is common knowledge: They had to have it all. They were not content with 99%, and their pride teaches us that "enough is never enough" for those hell-bent on self-serving, over-consuming mindsets. And the result? God banished them from the garden, just as God will eventually banish the remainder of those who demonstrate their gluttonous resolve to fill their egos with more more more! Today, that illness manifests in constructs such as Capitalism, which is (in sum) the normalization of this pathology. The automobile is commonly referred to as the human alter ego; the fact that humans are so devoted to these machines is a pathetic pathological anomaly.

This is why the religions built within the Capitalist cultures teach that globalization and the one-world ideals are the works of the devil. In fact, God created "the globe" and everything within it, and has not been involved in human separatist constructs (on Earth) in any way: God considers it the sin of sins! But the god of this world (Satan, the Devil) is devoted to selling false religion to those willing to participate in its temptations. We see the model of those temptations in Jesus' short stay here (See: St. Matthew 4). Though Jesus was tempted, He did not partake in the sin. In fact, the only way that we can say that Jesus was fully human, and, fully God, is to know that He experienced all temptations...He thought about murder, rape, incest, stealing, adultery, and the like, but did not partake in them. If He did not think these things, then He cannot relate to the human condition; He cannot know what it is to have these driving thoughts, and to be victorious over them. Jesus Christ knows the plight of the human condition, but demonstrated, in action, that we do not have to become enslaved to them. Indeed, we have the power of the Indwelling to overcome the works of the Devil, and thus, to control the acts of the self. This self-control was the core of Discipleship (the word being self-disciplined). Those who want to mock God, pretend to be Christian, and then find justification to live as the culture they inhabit, by finding religious organizations who also live as the rest of the culture does. The Amish and other pure/true Christian groups, understand this simple teaching. They know full well that us humans will follow the patterns of our culture rather than living as God commands us, in spite of our culture. this is exactly what is meant by being "set apart"! We are to live, not as superior to others by holding OUR CHURCH as the best, but indeed, to live the lifestyle of Christ without religion. We are what we DO, not what we say, think or believe! But all self-delusion (that inner darkness) will eventually be put into the light of God!

Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen. And you do not receive our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things? And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven. But even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God. (St. John 3: 11-21)
