It may come as a shock to some, but scientific studies, including the National Geographic Genographic Project, show we all came from one set of parents. The Bible has so stated for 2,500 years; but with DNA technology it is a proven fact.
We all came from an area in East Central Africa and migrated – dispersed about the world. Climate, environmental adaptation, and group/tribal intermarriage changed our appearances and cultural norms; but in the end, we all have the same blood types and the same longing for God – however our cultures have developed the original Covenant. Maybe the Biblical Methuselah who lived 900 years was an early example of post-Eden life spans that shortened with intermarriage, just as our purebred domestic animals have far more physical and sometimes psychic problems than “mutts”! Obviously, we’d all be better off to become “mutts” again – healthier, friendlier, and longer living.
I’ve noticed the innate beauty of interracial children. Maybe there’s a gradual coming together of the early pristine ideal that is a real challenge to folks whose whole identity is based on color or ethnicity. We are, after all, having been blessed by the “progressive-hated” Declaration of Independence to have lived with the understanding that “all men are created equal – endowed by their Creator with an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Those “Dead White Men” who founded our country were far from perfect, but continued reliance on “blackness” or “whiteness” ad nauseum is certainly no improvement.
That original covenant by God with Adam and Eve has its seeds in every culture. Why God chose to use the Blood sacrifice of one Virgin-Born Man to fulfill that Covenant, I’ll never know. All I know is Cain slew Abel over a jealousy that still exists today.
Maybe we should all take the time to recognize the Price paid and wish each other a Merry Christmas.

Homo sapiens, meet Canis lupus familiaris. Yes, dogs. All the same species, with DNA almost identical to the wolf. And would you leave your toddler with a Rottweiller as babysitter? Or a Cocker Spaniel? Hey, they’re both dogs, right? I hate to find middle-roaders following Leftists in demanding that people believe what they say instead of their own lyin’ eyes. Human races/demes/ethnic groups/breeding populations are different in numerous well-known and well-studied ways. Unlike evolution or gravity, this fact is not only verified by science, but easily apparent from personal observation as well as the record of history. The Founders were living on the cusp of history, with the delusions of the Enlightenment making inroads into the minds of the bien pensantes, but common sense and personal observation still holding the fort. Insofar as anybody seriously believed that “all men are creasted equal” it is insanity. Of course, to the Founders, ‘all men’ referred to all NW Europeans. Think you could’ve found anybody to include Indians or Africans in the ‘equal’ category?
God made people different for a reason. Some people are easiter to identify by their ethnic groups. God separated the countries for a reason. God wants people together who have the same cultures, etc. If God wanted us all alike, he would have made us all alike. Also, people of any color who are not saved are going to hell.
God always dealt with the nations. Being made in his image and likeness makes us all the same in that sense. Otherwise we are each differently gifted and talented with the responsibility to discover, develop and apply those gifts and the earth to subdue as good stewards for his glory. I’d be careful about determining who is saved and who isn’t and where they’re going. We then may be going to hell ourselves for not preaching Christ in Mecca for example. or for treating some unsaved person as less than a child of God.
When I observe the worldly man’s so-called wisdom; I know his eyes are not seeing nor his mind understanding all that God has done. The one without knowledge or understanding of God can’t comprehend the ways of God nor His thoughts. Despite all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover the true meaning or God’s purpose for life Even if a wise man claims he is wise or that he has all the degrees from years of studying, he cannot really comprehend or understand the existence of God, because his wisdom is that of the world’s.
For the man who thinks he knows all that there is to be known, is nothing but a fool unto himself. True wisdom is gained from what man has experienced in life. There is nothing in this life that man can say for a certainty, unless he has seen, or experienced directly or indirectly that which pertains to his statements, beliefs, or faith. In other words, for man to say, “I know God does not exist,” just because he personally has not experienced a life changing event is nothing less than pure ignorance.
If you say you are wise then please, what is God’s purpose for man? And tell me if you can, why should God reveal himself to someone that does not seek Him, or to someone that is not serious wanting to know him in a personal way, much less to someone that does not believe in Him? God has chosen to hide Himself, but to those who fear Him, He will reveals His heart’s desires. In Psalms 91:1 He refers to His place of hiding as the secret place. Only those who fear God will find this secret place, as we are told: The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. Psalm 25:14 NIV
You asked, “And tell me if you can, why should God reveal himself to someone that does not seek Him?”
Ask St. Augustine or his mother St. Monica who prayed for him for 20 years. Who know how the “Hound of Heaven” is dealing with each person? Enjoy the chaos of unexpected meetings, opportunities and “never entered the heart of man” moments that thrive all around us.
God’s thoughts and ways are far beyond those of man’s….. We know that God created man to bring glory, honor and praise to Himself…. And we know that ultimately God is still in control, yet He allows man freewill for a period of time… We don’t understand this freewill to allow man to do such horrific crimes that boggles our mines, but we can’t see the complete picture. God’s desire is that all should come to His Son Christ Jesus for salvation and who is man to question God and His ways?
That was good advice……………Merry Christmas to who ever is reading this and I hope your new year will be a blessed one. I sincerely mean it.
This is why all this talk about rascist’s is so stupid: There is only ONE race of humans. We are not divided up into different ‘races’ according to the color of our skin or what part of the world we came from. This is a VERY small planet, in the galactic sense of the word. We humans are ALLof the same race! If we are going to turn on each other over some implied or imaginary ‘difference’ doesn’t that make us just as rediculous as a bunch of school kids? For any of our percieved differences we are better than 99.9% all the same, according to DNA testing. Merry Christmas to all, or whatever passes for the seasons greetings for you. Now, let’s move on to more important matters.
