All Of Mankind Is Of One Blood, It Is All The Same Color, And Has The Same Features!
Acts 17:25-28 (NKJV)
"Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, "so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; "for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’
God created all of mankind to live together and to share in everything else God created on this earth. God created all of mankind with one blood, so we could recognize that we should treat each other as being our brother and/or sister during our short lifetimes. As we see written by the writer of Acts, “He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth.” There has always been unrest on this earth, as many of mankind, refuse to accept this factual information, and therefore, to not accept people who look different than they do, and consider them to be our enemy, instead of as our brother and sister!
When Jesus walked this earth as a member of mankind, He made reference to this problem, and tried to help His disciples to accept every human being as being equal to you, because God created us as equal in His eyes. "You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?” (Matthew 5:43-46a) Jesus here makes reference how God treats all of mankind the same, in that He gives rain to all, without regard to who they are or what they look like!
Do you know that if you ever need a blood transfusion, you can receive blood from any member of mankind, no matter what color their skin may be, as long as they have the same blood type as you! So the indication from Scripture above is correct and attests to the fact that all of mankind survives on the same or one blood. All members of mankind made up of the “so called races” share in these basic blood types, there is no specific blood type for different races. Of course, the Bible does not support that there are different races. All of mankind started with one man and one woman, who we refer to as Adam and Eve, so we are actually all of one race, the human race!
There are different people groups, which were formed because mankind ignored God’s command to spread out over the earth and subdue it. The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth. (Genesis 11:6-9) So God’s action here caused different people groups to be formed, but we are all members of one race, the human race.
Notice what God said about mankind in this circumstance "If as one people–nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.” If we could look at the commonalities instead of the differences, then mankind working together could, “as one people–then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.” We see evidences of this in our world today, as nations have combined to put man in space, and we have done some amazing things! If our thinking could be centered on Jesus, and as Paul has written, we could then fix our thoughts on good not on evil. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. (Philippians 4:8, NLT)
Our societies around this world have separated us to a point of seemingly impossible resolution, because of the success Satan has had in causing us to think evil thoughts about our brothers and sisters. In this country we see people groups banding together, and opposing anyone who looks different than they do. Much of this dissention seems to be caused by people depending on the USA to supply their needs instead of looking to God for their sustenance. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. (Matthew 6:33, NLT) Of course, in this land of plenty it becomes difficult for those who “have” to be able to identify their needs from their wants. Those who have need also to share with those who have not!
Jesus told His disciples that He had overcome this world, and He told them this knowledge should offer them peace, or a peaceful feeling. "You believe at last!" Jesus answered. "But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:31-33) Jesus tells His disciples (us) to experience a peaceful feeling during bad times on this earth. Notice too what Jesus said about His own feelings of being alone, “Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me." Believers can have some peace in knowing Jesus has paid your way into heaven, so you can know your salvation is assured.
The problems being experienced in the USA recently cannot just be ignored, as it imposes some fear of harm or even death to any of us. The real answer to this situation and the unrest can be reduced by an organized front presented by our law enforcement people all over this country. There is likely no quick answer to this deep-seated unrest we are seeing in the USA, and around this world. The only real answer is for all believers to go to the Lord in prayer. Please pray for all of those who have lost loved ones in this war of evil and hatred from mankind upon mankind. Jesus is the answer!
