I have been quite hesitant to write about the elections, but I am sensing a pressing need upon my heart to share just a few key issues that I believe cannot go unspoken. Do you view yourself as belonging to a particular “race”? What does the word race imply when used within the context of describing people? If you thought winners and losers then you will understand why I refuse to use this term when I speak about people of various nationalities or people groups.
What we are witnessing during this election, and that by the way, is an actual race, are walls being built up to further divide people groups. The Bible does not use the term *race* but refers to us as being of *ONE BLOOD*.
A scientist at the Advancement of Science Convention in Atlanta made this statement,
“Race is a social construct derived mainly from perceptions conditioned by events of recorded history, and it has no basic biological reality.”
Before I go any further I want to make a few things clear.
- I am a Christian conservative. That said, I am voting Republican. I trust that no matter the outcome of the elections, there is nothing outside of the Lord’s will and every thing will work out according to His plan. We have a duty as Christians and citizens of the United States to vote our conscience, NOT *cop out*. No one person will ever espouse everything that a Christian holds dear but we have to chose to vote for the candidate the comes the closest. The republican platform more closely adheres to those principles and ideals that are of utmost importance for the sake and well being of all peoples. It has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with skin tone.
- I am also a young earth creationist.
- I fully reject evolutionary doctrine upon every opportunity that I can get.
Evolutionary thinking FUELS racism. Let me state that again; Evolutionary Thinking Fuels Racism. I bet you didn’t know that Darwin thought natives were advanced animals?
Sad but true.
Don’t be sold out, put under and BLINDED by such vain philosophies made up by men such as these.
Consider this teaching for a moment;
Many of the early settlers of Australia considered the Australian Aborigines to be less intelligent than the “white man,” because aborigines had not evolved as far as whites on the evolutionary scale. In fact, the Hobart Museum in Tasmania (Australia) in 1984 listed this as one of the reasons why early white settlers killed as many aborigines as they could in that state. In 1924, the New York Tribune (Sunday, February 10) had a very large article telling their readers that the missing link had been found in Australia. The missing link referred to happened to be aborigines from the state of Tasmania.4
The incredible thing is that we live in a society that states it wants to be rid of racist attitudes. Yet we are conditioned to racist attitudes by our very education system, and the whole foundational basis for racism permeates people’s minds. (in bolded are mine)
And STILL We Embrace Evolution! Don’t Be Fooled!
- We are a homeschooling family. Homeschooling has afforded our family the opportunity to raise our children outside of a public school system that focuses too much on the differences between people groups.
It’s better to focus on our similarities, and THAT is what we do! We are able to teach our children about history MINUS the prejudices that are found on both sides of the coin. My children see and appreciate the beauty of all people who are created in the image of God Himself.
Here is another excellent quote made by ABC News,
“More and more scientists find that the differences that set us apart are cultural, not racial. Some even say that the word race should be abandoned because it’s meaningless.” The article went on to say that “we accept the idea of race because it’s a convenient way of putting people into broad categories, frequently to suppress them—the most hideous example was provided by Hitler’s Germany. And racial prejudice remains common throughout the world.”
Countless believers of {{all people groups}} throughout the portals of time have given their lives in defense of their innocent brothers and sisters.
Let’s use this time while we’re on the earth to take joy in the thought of living together in Love. When the Lord sets up His Kingdom upon the New Heavens and the New Earth, those who look forward to His coming will be out of EVERY nation, tribe and tongue. We will recognize each other too because we will look the same minus the pitfalls of age!
(Revelation 7:9,10) After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands, They cried out in a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the lamb!”
In His Love,
