Racism, tribalism, us vs them

[Josho]

I don't know if any of you follow whaddoyoumeme on social media, but he is really good at looking at things from a Christian perspective and having unbiased views.

As we know, racism seems to be on the rise again, and it's not just in the USA, but everywhere, one of the more recent cases was an anti-semitic terror attack in the US that killed 2 Israeli embassy staff, and only just last year in December a Synogogue got torched in Melbourne, Australia.

Then you have the issues of White farmers getting murdered in South Africa.

The tensions between Pakistan and India.

The tensions between Israelis and Palestinians

The Russian invasion of Ukraine

And a growing racial divide between white and black in the USA and the truth of it is people from both sides are guilty as you will see in the video.

And this really shows why it's important to base our identity in Christ, not a political party, not your tribe and not your race.

Same rhetoric I heard in the 1960's.

 

[Scott Downey]

Tribalism is deeply embedded into people, and cannot be removed. We naturally like some people and dislike and hate others. The more unlike they are to us, the greater the enmity we feel. And for some that translates into actions.

I feel enmity against evil, not determined by race.
Yet, also, I will feel safer in some places than others.
We do experience spiritual warfare.

The first record in scripture of enmity is right after the fall in Eden.
And rightly so is what God did.

Genesis 3

9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

12 Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”

13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

 

[Scott Downey]

And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And also this, And between your seed and her Seed;

Shows the virgin birth of Christ, who crushed one of the multiheaded beast's head, while the beast bruised Christ's heel, referring to the cross.

He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

Revelation 13
Then [a]I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having [b]seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

People have their own opinions, big deal ! get over it !

Look all people regardless, even say Japan was once say 100 %, one so called Race and even they had issues of discrimination ? such facts stand ! will such go away ? dream on !

Do people get upset for what reason ? being called a Bum ? I seen Otto on the Simpsons could not care less about being called a Bum, but when called a sponge, he got real offended.

So why do people get offended may be the real issue !
So one calles you something, who cares what they think right ? like who is the ignorant one ? or If I am guilty of such ? I will say Thank you for your guidance kind Sir !

I was at a political meating once and this dude said off the cuff for some reason that he thought I was a jack of all Trades and master of non. I did not bother with him. he does not know who I am ! another would not shake my hand, first time I met him, for he was in grave feer ? One dude asked why not. dude said, someone had near broke his hand once doing such. I was fine with that ! because it takes all types to make a world ?
Many things are like water off a Ducks back to me ! If I got offended at everything I would be a mess ? It's not an issue !

I had people wanting to bash me up, not only one person but a few at times. even people I never knew, it did not bother me to much, because I was ready for anything, because I had been trained for dealing with such from 7yo.
All was good untill they tryed to bash me. and then I just dealt with it, I was fine and I was not out to try and hurt them at all.
I would thank them for their sevice, as what they had invested in was all for free ! but I would ask some times if they wanted to come learn self discipline at Ju Jitsu with me. what got to me was, why did they not ever turn up !

I am of the opinion that schools need to have Judo say, as a key to self control and a reality program, so as not to lead people off with the pixie land delusional problems that many face nowadays, that is a key to all of the problems they have !

Their are no Race peoblems in Judo etc as, one forms a good bond of respect culture with everyone and It's not forced on you, you learn respect is in fact a 2 way street regardless.

Now the MSM and School system clearly works so as to creat Morons ! to be weak minded and a follower and a sook and to live a Lie !
