United We Stand?

                                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Martin Luther King complained that Sunday morning in church is the most segregated hour in the U.S. He also said the Church should repent, calling this a tragedy. His solution: coerced integration. He began this by misusing money from church donations to commit adultery on his wife with White prostitutes. I say it again, MLK began his campaign of desegregation by embezzling money from the church to commit adultery on his wife with prostitutes. This Communist who brainwashed most of America wanted to transform American society.  Society did transform, into something pagan. 

Regardless, though Jesus came to bring people together, He did not come to force them together. Now I'm kind to everyone I come across, no matter their race, ethnicity, religion, politics, age, looks, etc. It's like birds at a birdfeeder or those looking for scraps in a parking lot or park, where they all coexist.  Birds of like feather stick together, whether blackbirds, crows, ducks, geese, pigeons, seagulls, sparrows, or various songbirds.  That is, they are united in homogenous groups. This is NATURE. Beings of similar type, interest, personality, character, or other distinctive attribute naturally gravitate, which also results in distinct separations.  

This is especially true in church. Black and White people often have markedly different worship styles or sing the same songs but with an unfamiliar cadence. You'll have all-Asian groups because their Bible studies are in Chinese. Indian and Middle Easterners are often absent because they have their own religions of Hinduism and Islam, worshipping in those temples and mosques instead. Greek Orthodox groups are often Greek alone due to culture alone, etc.  And it's hard for many to understand those whose second language is English instead of their native tongue. So, pushing everyone together makes things difficult and causes damage. 

Quoting video maker theronleigh1980: "It's not about united we stand divided we fall. People think that, but the reality is that people who are united with paganism will fall regardless. Those united are those who will be saved when Christ comes." He also pointed out that you cannot unite with greedy people. I add that greed and materialism have infected U.S. churches. To help eliminate materialism there should be more preaching against it. Also, many frivolous and wasteful luxury products should be eliminated from the market, so those with surplus will be more likely to use their wealth charitably. 

Again, we should not be skewered together like human shish kabobs to be consumed by bogus unity. But to help coexist, I keep this in mind: Every human has a spirit of equal value inside them. And so, we should follow the Golden Rule: Treating everyone the way we would like to be treated.
