ONE BLOOD

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

"LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS: " GEN. 1/26.

"AND HATH MADE OF ONE BLOOD ALL NATIONS OF MEN FOR TO DWELL ON ALL THE FACE OF THE EARTH, AND HATH DETERMINED THE TIMES BEFORE APPOINTED, AND THE BOUNDS OF THEIR HABITATION; THAT THEY SHOULD SEEK THE LORD, IF HAPLY THEY MIGHT FEEL AFTER HIM, AND FIND HIM, THOUGH HE BE NOT FAR FROM EVERY ONE OF US: FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; AS CERTAIN ALSO OF YOUR OWN POETS HAVE SAID, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING." ACTS.17/26-28. (This was Paul speaking to the Greeks on Mars Hill in Athens: The important thing to be noticed here is the fact that he was "speaking the truth in love," evangelising, spreading The Word to those who were infidels, unbelievers, pagans, of a different race: Those whom Loving Father called Gentiles,......AND THOSE WHOM THE JEWS CALLED DOGS, WHICH WAS THE GREATEST INSULT THAT THE SONS OF ISAAC AND THE SONS OF ISHMAEL COULD GIVE TO ANY MAN.).

"SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE HIM; MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM." GEN. 1/27.

In the face of multiculturalism in this country and the ever increasing pilgrimage to our shores of boat people, refugees, it is of necessity to declare the will of Loving Father concerning these doings because of the racial bigotry and confusion surrounding these events which seems to be gaining momentum against those supposedly not of the same ilk.

First of all as the above scriptures dictate, all men are the same everywhere, all are of "ONE BLOOD," "CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD," AND ARE ALL "HIS OFFSPRING." The similitude of man is the same worldwide, (made in the image of God, the "morph", essence however, is a fallen sinful nature which is not of God), the only differences then being cosmetic in outward appearance only, namely the colour of a man`s skin. So when we exhibit prejudice, bigotry against any race, colour or creed, we should know that we are "REPROACHING LOVING FATHER, GOD THE CREATOR OF ALL MEN HIMSELF." JA. 3/9-10,

That said, let`s see what Loving Father Son and Holy Ghost has to say about this:.................................. THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:......................................

"AND IF A STRANGER SOJURN WITH THEE IN YOUR LAND, YE SHALL NOT VEX HIM. BUT THE STRANGER THAT DWELLETH WITH YOU SHALL BE UNTO YOU AS ONE BORN AMONG YOU, AND THOU SHALT LOVE HIM AS THYSELF; FOR YE WERE STRANGERS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT: I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD." LEV. 19/33-34.

AND AGAIN, "CIRCUMCISE THEREFORE THE FORESKIN OF YOUR HEART, AND BE NO MORE STIFFNECKED. FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GOD OF GODS, AND LORD OF LORDS, A GREAT GOD, A MIGHTY, AND A TERRIBLE, WHICH REGARDETH NOT PERSONS, NOR TAKETH REWARD: HE DOTH EXECUTE THE JUDGMENT OF THE FATHERLESS AND WIDOW, AND LOVETH THE STRANGER, IN GIVING HIM FOOD AND RAIMENT. LOVE YE THEREFORE THE STRANGER: FOR YE WERE STRANGERS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT." DEUT. 10/16-19.

AND AGAIN, "THOU SHALT NOT ABHOR ("taab", [taw-ab], meaning to detest, loathe) AN EDOMITE; FOR HE IS THY BROTHER: THOU SHALT NOT ABHOR AN EGYPTIAN; BECAUSE THOU WAST A STRANGER IN HIS LAND." 23/6-7.

(An Egyptian in the above verse for our understanding is a metaphor for an unsaved person, an unbeliever, someone who is of the world, [as we used to be], not a Christian. An Edomite represents someone who names the name of Christ, but is profane, self serving, back slidden, yielding to the lusts of the flesh, a follower of self and not Christ, as are so many in this country, they believe in Christ, but they do not follow/obey HIM.) You might say to me, but that is the law, the Old Testament,...we are under the New Covenant: Amen so we are but,............................................................................................................

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD, JESUS THE CHRIST, THE WORD OF GOD:

"THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW, OR THE PROPHETS: I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFIL. FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED." MATH. 5/17-18.

"OF A TRUTH I PERCEIVE THAT GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS;" ACTS 10/34.

Did you know that less than 20% of the world`s population is white? What is white supremacy? It is nothing but pride, racial bigotry: The children of Israel were and are still guilty of it: So is the dead church, the Catholic church, they are deluded into thinking they have the one and only true dogma and all protestants are beneath them: When Loving Father`s Favour/blessing is poured out on a nation, the first thing that happens is self pops up with the sense of being better than all those around them, deluded into the falsehood of feeling special because they must have done something to attract Loving Father`s Favour, deceived into thinking they are better than the rest: We are saved, blessed of Loving Father not because of who we are,.... BUT BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS: WE ARE SAVED AND BLESSED OF LOVING FATHER NOT OF OUR WILL, BUT OF HIS WILL:

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

"FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST." EPH. 2/8.

"THAT THE PURPOSE OF GOD ACCORDING TO ELECTION MIGHT STAND, NOT OF WORKS, BUT OF HIM THAT CALLETH;" RO. 9/11.

"FOR HE SAITH TO MOSES, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. SO THEN IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLETH, NOR OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY." RO. 9/15-16. "THEREFORE HATH HE MERCY ON WHOM HE WILL HAVE MERCY, AND WHOM HE WILL HE HARDENETH." RO. 9/18.

"OF HIS OWN WILL BEGAT HE US WITH THE WORD OF TRUTH, THAT WE SHOULD BE A KIND OF FIRSTFRUTIS OF HIS CREATURES." JA. 1/18.

The Jews in the Old Testament called all pagans, infidels, unbelievers DOGS: The Nazis took bigotry a step further and tagged all Jews as not being human, not people, non entities, not worthy of life, therefore they justified millions of them going up the chimney in a puff of smoke: Racial bigotry is hatred, (Gal. 5/20), a disease of the flesh and must be denied and crucified with Christ: (Gal. 5/24, Ro. 6, Math. 16/24, Mk. 8/34, Luke 9/23).

When it comes to Loving Father`s Saving Grace we are all equal before HIM:

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

"AS IT IS WRITTEN, THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE: THERE IS NONE THAT UNDERSTANDETH, THERE IS NONE THAT SEEKETH AFTER GOD. THEY ARE ALL GONE OUT OF THE WAY, THEY ARE TOGETHER BECOME UNPROFITABLE; THERE IS NONE THAT DOETH GOOD, NO, NOT ONE." RO. 3/10-12.

When it comes to Loving Father`s Saving Grace there are only two types of people in the world,....... THOSE WHO ARE SAVED AND THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

"THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE, AS SOME MEN COUNT SLACKNESS; BUT IS LONGSUFFERING TO US-WARD, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE." 2 PET.3/9.

"WHO WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED, AND TO COME UNTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 1 TIM. 2/4.

"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED." JOHN 3/16-17.

Just be mindful of this next time you feel the urge to disparage, tag your fellow man with judgmental names, generalities and cliches:

"BUT THE TONGUE CAN NO MAN TAME; IT IS AN UNRULY EVIL, FULL OF DEADLY POISON. THEREWITH BLESS WE GOD, EVEN THE FATHER; AND THEREWITH CURSE WE MEN, WHICH ARE MADE AFTER THE SIMILITUDE OF GOD. OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH PROCEEDETH BLESSING AND CURSING. MY BRETHREN, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT SO TO BE. DOTH A FOUNTAIN SEND FORTH AT THE SAME PLACE SWEET WATER AND BITTER? CAN THE FIG TREE, MY BRETHREN, BEAR OLIVE BERRIES? EITHER A VINE, FIGS? SO CAN NO FOUNTAIN BOTH YEILD SALT WATER AND FRESH." JA. 3/8-12.

When we reproach, exhibit racial prejudice, bigotry against our fellow man, we are expressing hatred and reproach of Christ Himself, (Who was God incarnate), because HE created all men in HIS image, and more especially if they are believers. Math. 25/31-46.

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

"OWE NO MAN ANY THING, BUT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER: FOR HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW." RO. 13/8.

"THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF." RO. 13/9, MATH. 5/43, 19/19, 22/39, MK. 12/31,33, LUKE 10/27.

AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR?.........READ LUKE 10/29-37.

"LOVE WORKETH NO ILL TO HIS NEIGHBOUR: THEREFORE LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW." RO. 13/10.

"THEREFORE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YE WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU, DO YE EVEN SO TO THEM: FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS." MATH. 7/12.

HELPING HIM PREPARE A BRIDE WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH:

HATING EVEN THE GARMENT SPOTTED BY THE FLESH:

A STOLEN GENERATION

A stolen generation, the devil wielding his hand,

A stolen generation, so hard for them to stand;

A stolen generation, cheated of salvation,

A stolen generation, stealing entire nations;

The old are feeble and slow,

The enemy there to show,

Denying them salvation,

Stealing an elderly nation;

The mothers and fathers do try,

Teaching enough to get by,

But often too busy to state,

Allowing the devil to take,

The youth with all temptation,

Not stopping to think of salvation,

Being crushed by their oppressor,

No energy to fight their tormentor;

It matters not what you look like, or what background you come from,

What nationality you may be, you can resist the enemy`s wrong,

Just stop all your resistance, and walk forward in His accord;

Don`t let the devil torment you, and reach for His reward,

Don`t let the devil torment, and don`t let the devil control,

Just pray for your salvation and let God your life behold:

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them”. 2 Cor. 4/3-4. 2000.

TERRORISM

Does terrorism have credentials?

Or are we just too judgmental;

Believing in our hearts it must be OK,

But we`re on the right side in defence we say;

Are they indoctrinated as babes in arms?

In a religion that justifies bodily harm;

Believing in what they`re taught to be true,

Obeying their leaders in all that they do;

Living in a country under much oppression,

Are they looking at the world through eyes of depression?

And seeing their wealth do they truly believe?

That they`re robbed of their heritage and we are deceived;

They`re declaring jihads and holy wars,

A system that destroys right to the core,

Believing fervently in their plight,

To avoid destruction they willingly fight;

But what of the destiny of these young men?

These suicide bombers causing much mayhem;

Believing they`ll be martyrs dying for their cause,

For a moment in time fighting in these wars;

With wealth abundant many lands perceive,

They have all this power but are they deceived?

But where does this power all come from?

Interest rates and embargos do they do wrong?

Is it more money, more power, resources they need?

And do they themselves build images of greed;

Are they struggling and striving for their moment of fame?

Bringing nations to their knees, are they walking lame?

Are they tall poppies in their own pride?

With very large egos, do these nations they bribe?

Perchance a little more, just to keep control,

Are they in our hands or will they eventually fold?

But what of the jubilee the Bible does teach?

Forgive all their debt and their trust you will reach;

And what of their bellies full of pride and greed?

Are they walking blind for our Father to see?

Pro. 14/12 and 16/25. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”. Pro. 21/2. “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts”.

Mar. 2002.

BY THE BLOOD OF THE BLACKMAN

Boy soldiers eyes staring into space,

Mind controls of which they cannot make;

Happy childhoods which they must forsake,

Greedily, for someone else to take:

Severed limbs, their arms and their legs,

Forced amputations against which they must beg;

No longer whole by the soldiers were led,

Serving what purpose their dignity shed:

Villages plundered, they must all flee,

Running their gauntlet, which bullet`s for me?

Cradling their babies, the enemy they see,

Rebels revelling in their glee:

The massacre of children protesting what they believe,

African`s not our language, we`ll not be deceived;

Coldblooded murder, tiny tears flow free,

But yes not hidden, yes the world does see:

Bigotry it`s everywhere – God hear our prayers;

Dear Father what`s happened, can we not bare?

To love our neighbour, we`re just not there;

The love of money seems our only care,

Bigotry it`s everywhere, God hear our prayers:

If we love our neighbour, how can we torture and kill?

All this debauchery truly makes our blood chill;

It seems we`re not obedient to His ultimate will,

More of the Holy Spirit needed, Your Spirit in us to fill:

“AND THE SECOND IS LIKE, NAMELY THIS, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE.” MK. 12/31,

AND AGAIN, “ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.” MATH. 22/39-40.

“FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL:” 1 TIM. 6/10.

“AND HATH MADE OF ONE BLOOD ALL NATIONS OF MEN FOR TO DWELL ON ALL THE FACE OF THE EARTH,” ACTS 17/26.
