Answer: The same Bible verse also says in Christ there is neither male nor female, yet most people don't claim that it abolishes human sex. The existence of human males and females is biological reality just as existence of various nations and ethnic groups. The verse deals with spiritual, not biological reality. Anyone can come to Christ if he chooses. Further on, there is a story in Genesis about Tower of Babel:
According to the Bible, it was God's will that mankind stays divided.
Claim: The Tower of Babel was in OT. NT has a story of Pentecost. It means that national borders are wrong and should be abolished and all nations should be united in one.
Answer: Read the passage from the Acts describing Pentecost:
The apostles were speaking in different languages so that believers from many nations could understand their message. Languages weren't abolished and neither national distinctions. National divisions will persist in eternity:
Whether you are a believer or not, one thing is clear: the Scriptures don't teach the New World Order or one world government or any such thing. In fact, they do point out that when mankind is united, naughty things start happening.
You have put together a thoughtful post. A good argument if someone gets these verses twisted or tries to pursued someone wrongly. I will read and reread this so it is set in my mind. Study further too. I had not thought someone would think these verse and thoughts meant a one world government was the right way to go! Now I understand how they could twist things. Thank you! I look forward to others comments... Sarah
ReplyDeleteYes, there are unfortunately people on both the Left and the Right who twist the plain text to suit their own purposes.
ReplyDeleteNow this was a good one. You certainly know your Bible. :) This was so good there nothing to comment. :)
