Avoiding Hate (Racism)

 Avoiding Hate (Racism)

Positive Christianity Series Episode #405

"Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married, for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, 'Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also."- Numbers 12: 1-2 [Miriam incited Aaron to complain about Moses' leadership out of envy and racism. Even Jews can be envious.]

We learn that Scripture repudiates racism stemming from socialism. Scripture states that there should not be enmity between brethren. This includes enmity based on racism, sexism, and classism. Having filial love prevents hate. Having filial love prevents envy. Having filial love prevents racism based on socialism. Christianity preaches and instructs filial love. If individuals do not have filial love and envy others, they are not true Christians. If individuals hate based on racism, classism, and sexism, they are not Christians. If individuals insult others instead of encourage others, they are not Christians. If individuals attempt to lead to disobedience and socialism, they are not Christians.

Scripture speaks of this in different instances. The pacifism described in the second five commandments describes the need to respect humanity. Specific stories like the story of David describes that we are supposed to be good and lead others to GOD Almighty. We are also supposed to avoid fake prophets and idolators seen in how David avoided wicked individuals (Psalm 26).

"Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies."- Psalm 119: 22 [Christians with integrity are slandered and insulted. We should persevere with gratitude to know Scripture and reality and not temporary lies. We do not revile nor oppose individuals with integrity and empathy.]

The story of Moses also describes how GOD Almighty is not a racist. After Joseph had helped Pharaoh, Egypt, and Israel survive, he was given authority in Egypt. Pharaoh recognized Joseph's wisdom and was not envious. This describes how we can live in peace and harmony without hating one another. Joseph did not hate Egypt nor Israel. We learn that the story of Moses described how racism is not allowed. The story states that Moses married a second time with a wife from Ethiopia. The reason for multiple marriages in the Old Testament was so that there were big families. Instead of a single woman having 12-14 children, each woman had multiple children and shared the task of taking care of the younger children. This was to populate the earth consistent with the first millennium where there were not that many people. We learn that monogamy is preferred. Moses had married his first wife and then married an Ethiopian woman who decided to worship GOD Almighty. GOD Almighty describes that individuals from the nations are allowed to worship GOD Almighty if they have a sincere heart. The Ethiopian woman actually wanted to know about the worship of GOD Almighty and became a faithful believer. Later the Ethiopian woman became the wife of Moses and probably had children. 

Miriam probably was envious since the wives of Moses had authority. Miriam had envy of the second wife because of the color of her skin. She resented Moses' first wife also but resented the second wife because of her melanin production. GOD Almighty reproved Miriam for opposing Moses out of envy. Miriam was envious of Moses' leadership for being humble and having fidelity. The snake tempted Miriam to oppose Moses. Even Moses' own sister opposed Moses out of envy. Miriam questioned Moses' leadership. We should be skeptical of marxist relatives who envy goodness. GOD Almighty reproved Miriam by making her skin leprous for a week. Her skin became white. She listened to the lies of the snake who hated egalitarianism. Miriam allowed the lies to deceive her into being racist. She took out her envy on Moses by questioning his amazing leadership and decision to have additional children. GOD Almighty reproved her foolishness, her envy, and her racism. GOD Almighty is not racist. The snake envied Moses for having authority in Egypt and while guiding Israel. We learn to persevere like Moses keeping humbleness and fidelity to GOD Almighty. The snake hates humbleness because humbleness prevents bitterness, envy, arrogance, and anger. The snake knows that humbleness and fervor lead to unchanging fidelity like Moses had. Such unchanging fidelity allows people to accomplish great things. Miriam repented and was allowed to be a part of Israel since GOD Almighty and  Moses had grace. However, we need to know in our times that there are unrepentant marxists who only want to sabotage so we avoid them and their fakeness.

"I have chosen the path of fidelity; I set your rules before me."- Psalm 119: 30 [Moses was opposed by wicked Pharaoh, two Egyptian magicians, Korah's rebellion, incredulous bretheren who doubted and complained, and even Miriam who incited Aaron to oppose Moses. Moses never denied the faith. Avoid fake bretheren who oppose the Gospel and prefer envy and being deceived.]

(GOD Almighty instructs empathy and not racism. The snake instructs racism and not empathy. The moral of the story is not to be a racist because racism has to do with envy. Envy has to do with listening to the snake.

In our times, we persevere single without fake relationships like Pope John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Edith Stein, and Theresa of Avila, and for the married there is the need to keep fidelity to their spouse and instruct their children in the true faith like Methuselah and Noah. Scripture instructs monogomy in marriage and not adultery. The reason there were multiple marriages (consentual) in the Old Testament was to have large families to populate the earth and have nations. The ideal marriage is monogamous seen in Adam and Eve, Noah and his wife, Joseph and Mary, and Zacchariah and Elizabeth. In Shabbath Millennium, there are true relationships and friendships. In the times we live, we shun fakeness and sabotage from marxist fake relationships. Also there are racist mexicans, racist african-americans, racist caucasians, and racist asians. We avoid racists who race bait and worship the snake.)
