Mankinds Ultimatum

Mankind is on a planet in infinity.

There are finite resources and no end to the number of opinions on how to be governed, what religion to follow, or theories on how the world will end.

That even with a Super Power such as the United States with no real enemies of magnitude, we are seeing the sword we used in the past ( Nuclear Weapons ) being potentially leveled at us.

That our CIA..men of secrecy, once the hunters, are now being the hunted.
Terrorists have used our own might against us.

That mans perpetual cycle of continual oppression and subjegation of his fellow man does not seem to be in decline. That even in the United States, where there is Democracy, a land of plenty, we are not able to manage our own humanitarian efforts to the point where it could seriously impair us eventually.

We devise schemes and programs, laws and formalitys in the name of commerce and trade that are a round robin of no return in the world of greed.

Mankind is choking on his own materialism and consumption. Hes a consumer of Gizmos and Gadgets while his fellow man is in poverty.

We are killing ourselves with Manufacturing and our right to own a car which puts out pollutants. That in one year, in Iran, some 10000 people have died from air pollution alone. In Russia, near where the nuclear accident was, that 80% of all babies are born dead. In Africa, children are so hungry their skin is falling off their bodies, and in South America, children sniff glue to reduce the pains of hunger.

Our Oceans have dead zones in them, 5 plus worldwide that are a result of using high output fertilizers that cause Hypoxia in the oceans killing sea life for thousands of Sq Kilometers.

There are 600 million homeless people worldwide and no end in site

Someone in this world starves to death every 3 seconds in a world that spends billions on wars..

We argue about whether there is a God, or isnt a God. The Christians dont follow the full ways of Christ, the Muslims are killing Muslims, and the Hindus...Hindus..People that claim to be people of God...and they seek to kill each other. An act that none of their Gods approve. The Jews are being threatened, and depsite great adversity, they have managed to hold on even when they have been attribute to killing the Christ.

How much longer will this go on?

When will mankind finally figure it out? When will mankind see, that it isnt all about me, but more of all about us?

When will the Governments of the World see, that the wars are being fought because families are in poverty while large Corporations reap the profits ( Conflict Diamonds, Oil and the such )

That somehow Guns manage to be sold while people starve...Million dollar missiles to pad the pockets of the executives and share holders to fight wars for resources and strategic positions.
The missiles fly while the children die. While we worry about our next football game or our TV program we want to watch. If that was your child abroad, we be taking action.

How can we fight wars of oil when there are 40 million homeless children in South America..Is it any wonder that Socialism is on the rise in South America? They have suffered for decades at the hands of Corporate Greed.

Have we not learned that businesses that horde resources really dont help people at all? But merely the people that work for those companys?

This is Gods world. Not your world. Its our world. For all of us.

Whether you believe in Christ or not...he is quoted to have said this....

The holy brotherhood of right must stand united in the stirring conflicts of the hour. 24 No matter whether they be Jews, Samaritans, Assyrians, or Greeks, they must tramp down beneath their feet all strife, all discord, jealousy and hate, and demonstrate the brotherhood of man.

It was the love of money and man being pushed into poverty that started many of these wars..

Its time man realize that we cant serve both God and money...

and if you dont believe in God..then believe in helping your fellow man.

Christians need to act as Christ. Materialism needs to end. People say what? Exactly...christ wasnt about money..or about showboating..

Muslims arent about extreme wealth.. These people are poor fighting in the only way they know how. Men in Toyotas vs men in APCs and tanks.

The voice is of understanding and compassion for our fellow man. Our Government has made a mockery of taxation and representation which other countries see as a blight. Is it any wonder that they are fighting us tooth and nail.

Until we can show that we can take care of our own...in the US...our wars abroad will be lost before they were ever started.

And until our enemies abroad can learn to live as brothers amongst themselves, even the mightiest super power in the world cant save them from themselves.

Until world systems keep people from losing their homes and starving, the world will continue as it is.

Christs way was the only way....and his Way is Gods way. Gods way is the way of Allah, and Allahs way is the way of the God of the Jews.

Until you listen to me..this earth will be hell for all. There is only one way out. The question is will you listen.

I love you all...otherwise I wouldnt have sat here to write this. I write from heart of frustration, to the Governments of the world that are bathing in pride and arrogance.

Listen to your God. and if you dont have a God....

Then treat everyone on earth as you wish you would be treated in your wildest imagination.

Only then...will the guns be silenced...and Peace on Earth will prevail

and you will only recieve the sign of Judah as a sign to man. Miracles to the Jews didnt work. Christ rising from the dead wasnt enought to convince people...

John 1: verse 14....

If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you.

That command was to Honor God and to love one another...

By doing Right for your fellow man, feed, cloth, love and help, not just provide a job and an economy, you honor your God. If you dont believe in God, you will.

I am not against the United States..I am for us. We have the greatest chance for the greatest good.

God Weeps..

Peace

I'm all smiles.

"Its time man realize that we cant server both God and money... "

evidently this can't be said enough. Perhaps one of these generations one is going to win.

thanks for sharing the thoughts,
john

Do you think it will be mankind running out the earth until Extinction in spite of himself or will we get it before that happens?

Im hoping that people will see the really big picture for Mankind and his existence on Earth, both for himself and all creatures.

I think Christs message was just that, but some of his statements indicate that perhaps man would not get it.

My mind is working overtime on this one.

Peace

maybe if people stopped serving their own needs and started to serve the needs of the general human population we'd be in a better place

which will serve humanity best:
religion or cooperation?

Religion serves religion. Christ served mankind. Your post is right on.

People need to start looking at the needs of the population overall and do what is best for all. There are many many religious millionairs and Im sure Billionaires in the world that could create awsome infrastructures in impoverished lands..based on Christs universal love and Command.

The wealthy need to look at the poor, homeless and starving, and realize that their resources can be used for a greater good.

People in positions that are able to make change need to stand up and make that change. And should they not do it, then perhaps change will come and change their lot.

I found a Quote by Christ that says it all..

AND seeing the people come unto him, Jesus, said unto his disciples, Because of the sick I am sick; because of the hungry I am hungry; because of the thirsty I am athirst.

The Lords prayers says..." On Earth as it is in Heaven "

To worship God is to help your fellow man, and to honor his Commands.

Religion as a religion isnt the way. Being men of Good is the only way.

Peace

or maybe we could just detach all religious ideas from the act of charity and just do it for the sake of being decent human beings...

i guess i'm just crazy like that

Well, it would seem to me that being religious is not a prerequisite to being charitable. Although, I must state that most churches are indeed very charitable and do much good. I guess that's whay when I speak against the "church," I put it into quotation marks. There is a big difference between the "church" and the Church.

Ultimately, religion or not its all according to Gods plan whether you believe or not, it will be.

Religion or not, you should do just as Madnessinmysoul said...

Just do it for the sake of being decent human beings...but it goes farther then Charity, and their is a bigger picture.

The guidelines for mankind to run as designed was as the creator has seen in his vision just as we were his vision.

There is opinion..then their is the Truth.

One God,
On Earth as it is in Heaven
One Love..The way of Christ Jesus
Humility and Equality for all with a cooperative society, and not one of domination by a group of strong arming men.

Of all the Faiths on earth..ask yourself.
Get a pencil, and write down the conclusion of ultimate practice of each teaching. How the earth would be if we all acted as that faith practiced.
You will find that there is one way that truly works for all.

In this life, the after life, Eternal Life.

Of all the Faiths...Only Jesus Said it, Lived it, Did it, and promised it.

And it was all part of his fathers plan.

One Day...

Peace
