Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Acts 17:27 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.

God, in the beginning, set in motion, every rule, law, commandment and responsibility governing his creation...the heavens, the earth and every characteristic of them. Example: the planets floating around in this vast universe, in perfect orbit; not one is in danger of bumping into the other; because God made it so. The sun, not only give light, but emits a blanketing shield that protects the earth from radiation that would do serious harm to mankind, and things God put on this earth; if it were not there; or not doing what God made it to do. Through the power of God, from beginning till now, His creations are doing what God ordained them to do; in the manner God ordained it...All that is; except man...whom God gave free will; meaning, man can decide to obey, or not obey God's commandments, and abuse the freedom God gave him (free choice).

Truth! Facts! We, (human beings) are made in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of God. An image is the same as: you or I, looking in a mirror and seeing our outer self; exactly what others, looking at us, will see. Likeness is the same as: an X-ray or MRI...showing our inside. You should be able to look at me, and I look at you, and see a reflection of God. When I hear you, or you hear me; we should be hearing God. Because our Godly love, goodness, smile and warmth will show on our face and in our gestures; and our holiness and righteousness will be heard in our words and expressions. So then, being made in the Image and Likeness of God, we are, a representation of God on earth. And just as God gave the sun the responsibility of protecting earth from the great danger of radiation; He gave man the responsibility of protecting the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, the cattle and all creeping things upon the earth. Mankind has dominion, or rule, over this part of God's creations. (I won't go into the finite of man's failures, because it's not the point being made; but, man has done a lousy job, of protecting what God gave him dominion over) So, Back to the point.

Being made in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of God, we should be able to see in each other the same thing the Bible says God is. God is love; we should be able to see love in each other. God has no respect of person. Our interaction with each other should be without exceptions. God give his rain, sunshine, air to breath, water to drink and foods to eat to everyone; and He made them all safe for us to use and benefit from. Therefore, we should not pollute, and make hard to obtain, what God has given us to preserve life; and, enjoy; nor should we abuse the powers He gave us; but rather use them, without exception, for the betterment of all. The Bible gives us the good things about God; too numerous to mention here. (of course the world couldn't hold the books listing all the good things about God). You know the examples of the Hebrew Boys, Daniel, Moses, Elijah, Peter, Paul, and the list goes on. The power of God, demonstrated by these great men...God's creations, like you and I...were indeed, representatives of God on earth. The love and power demonstrated by them should exist in all of us. The same unity that exist in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, should exist in us. As they are one; we should be one...not trying to usurp power over one another. Nor try to make our self better than another. There is not way we can be what God made us to be: His Image and Likeness: and fight among ourselves, as we are now doing, over whose superior, and other dumb things.

It's Truth! It's Fact! Man has a responsibility to each other; but he doesn't have the authority from God to rule over another...fish, fowl, creeping things of the earth...yes; but not another human being. Man has a Commandment to love one another; but he doesn't have the right, or privilege, to hate anyone. Anything violating the responsibilities and commandments God gave man, is man developed; coming from man's desire to be a god himself, and rule over his fellow man. God did not give man this right. We are all one flesh; He even made Eve from Adam; keeping it one flesh. And our commandment is to love one another; not even judge in any form. And don't give me this "apple and orange" thing. It doesn't matter what we know about another; we don't have the authority from God to judge him, or her. And doing so violates what God told us to do and not do. Mankind have dominion over fish, fowls, cattle, and creeping things; not other men and women. (I say to anyone believing man has dominion over woman; God made Eve as Adam's helpmate in fulfilling God's commandment to all living things "Be fruitful and multiply." Adam didn't need help, naming things, which was the only work he had to do. But he did need help to be fruitful and multiply; thus, Eve. A helper; a partner; sharing equally in the task of multiplying. Not a servant; or someone to rule over.)

So, what is the sum of it all? Well, since America is the designated leader of the world and a Christian nation (So says Americans), let's focus on America's beliefs, practices and deeds. And, whether they are in line with God's Word, and commandments to man.

First; Human Rights: In terms of cruelty; America has the worst human rights record on earth; surpassing that of Nazi Germany. No where on earth are there acts of cruelty against citizens equals to that of America's atrocities against Black citizens. Burned alive; Tarred, feathered and burned; eyes gouged out; pregnant women hung and the baby cut out and stomped to death. Crippled and maimed for looking at a Caucasian woman, or speaking in a manner thought to be defensive (uppity). Raping of Black females (young and old). Beaten and worse for owning a good farm, driving a good car, having on decent clothing, or not stepping off the side walk to let a Caucasian pass, when there were plenty of room to pass. Used for diabolic experiments (like, injecting black men with syphilis; radiation poisoning, etc., to study their effects on humans; and many other evil deeds. All this because Caucasian males want to be portrayed as gods; rulers over Blacks, and Caucasian females. This was, done through lies and deceptions that was taught, believed, practiced and weaved into Caucasian culture. By their standard, only Caucasian males are the super ones. They are everything that's good, proper, wise, strong, and god like; making other humans subservient to them. Lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, trying to portray superiority in every way, separating people, spawning the term "Race" for people; developing and perpetuating racism (hatred among people) Laws partial to Caucasians, bias toward Blacks. Some paraded as impartial but applied more harshly to Blacks; and the list goes on. I can't, but can you see where this fit in the image and likeness of God? This is America. Is it God like?

The Bible says different; All men are made of one flesh; in the image of God. No one person was made smarter, wiser, or better than another. No one person was made master and another servant. So, mankind responsibility to each other is to treat every body in a Godly manner. This spirit of hatred, superiority, lying, stealing, cheating, murdering, maiming, and worse; existing in America today, and has been for centuries; are evils, straight from Satan. God didn't make "Races" he made man; one flesh! But man, male Caucasians in particular, have, and still are, going about establishing their own ways; in essence saying; I don't need God, I can do it myself, which have and still are leading to the mess now existing in America, and the world; because America spread these evils throughout the world.

There will never be peace and harmony in America until man, like other creations of God, start obeying God's laws and commandments and, owning up to the responsibilities God gave to mankind.

Again, God is love; God is truth; God is peace. When truth and love are made a part of every interaction between nouns, harmony will exist among mankind; world wide. But, since we are looking at America, I'll say; As long as lies prevail in America: hatred, separation, murder, raping, and all the evils thriving here, will continue to exist; and, grow worse with time.

Only God's way will make things right. Ignoring God's way, is like speeding thru red lights in a busy city. You are definitely headed for a bad accident.
