The idea of classifying human beings by their physical features is not an ancient concept. Men at one point in history were grouped by their native lands. It was not until the 17th century when Europeans needed to justify slavery and colonization thereby convincing their constituency that African People along with other groups were inferior or less than human.
Because of this, the idea that people are classified by their skin or their ethnicity denotes the idea that one group of people are inferior or superior than the other.
Why are human beings “classified?” Are we not all made in the Image and Likeness our our Maker? This is why racism exist across the world. It is embedded into our culture, our society, our world. The fact that the continent that thought to “classify” humanity has covered the world with their idealism,race will be an issue until the next Global initiative which according to GOD’s word, will be return of The Savior of All mankind, YAHSHUA the Messiah (Christ).
Until then, every human being is forced to recognize race. In doing so it is done with the connotation that one race is inferior or superior and men will continue to operate as such.
So men will continue to justify their humanity while others will attempt to assume their superiority. This is why we kill based on race, why we segregate our neighborhoods, our schools, our offices, our television shows and our cultures. This is why we identify our differences and act upon them rather than expound on our likenesses, for we are the Image and Likeness of GOD!
The Offspring of GOD was never made to be “classified” but made to be the heirs of GOD’s Kingdom, the nephesh (heb. the soul, living breathing creature) that holds the breathe that is inspired by the ALMIGHTY GOD to partake of his divine nature, then to hold the rightful position as the inheritance of the Government and Kingdom of GOD!
