Xenophobia

Different races have different talents and qualities. In general one race is not inferior to another, but measured against different criteria they actually are. Take for example Swiss chocolates. There is a God given diversity.

The recent xenophobic violence in South Africa is proof that races are different. Some have a natural talent to buy and sell. Others find their joy in the simpler things in life. The main reason for the strife is people's natural survival instinct. It does not allow strange people to compete for resources. Of cause if there is more love the problem is solved, but there needs to be room for everyone.

Governments must allow for diversity and the freedom of association, but also allow land demarcated for self determination. People are made with an inner longing for their own. People have their roots in the ground, and with their people. Government must protect the poor, feed the hungry, and heal the sick, but not through the oppression of others. The golden rule is again: Love.

When a government cares for its people, it will eradicate all evil; God's way. That's their job; not that of the mob.

Races should be given the opportunity to govern themselves, but -- and that's a big but -- the whole world must submit to their Creator, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must acknowledge that He is a King, and he will soon rule over the entire world. We must acknowledge that it will be a kingdom with rules, His rules, His Commandments, His punishment for the disobedient, His blessings and grace to the repentant, and His rewards to the obedient. There will be cities of refuge for the fugitive, justice, and jurisprudence based on the eternal laws of the Almighty. This is the Kingdom of Heaven Christians pray for. "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth."

We need to acknowledge His sovereignty, and prepare for the "restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began." He "...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;" Act 17:26.

However, God does not condone miscegenation. Because He is a God of love, he does not want poor little children without fathers. In most cases it's a result of white men with glandular problems. They do the deed and disappear. Black women then have to bring up childen under very difficult circumstances, and the children wants to know why they're different. Most of the time white women do not want to cross the color-line. It's white men and black women who are to be blamed, leaving generations of pain and suffering in their wake.

There is hope. But it'll have to be as per the rules of our Maker and his Manual.
