THE
RAMIFICATIONS OF EVIL--Continued
Racism
and/or
Caste
System,
etc.
As
creatures of habit, we find ourselves most often disposed to fall
back upon that which provides something of a safety zone, a
place where we need not explain ourselves, need not venture
into risks, need not encumber ourselves with anything more
than we desire to tackle. Quite true, many of us would
linger at this level indefinitely if we were never
prodded to form relationships with others which can open
us up to critical scrutiny or create in us a sense
of vulnerability. And in spite of this risk we all
do feel a need to form bonds with other personalities, for
these experiences with others from early in life on
throughout mature years initiate a defining process,
a process by which we form self-images and develop loving
relationships and/or defensive shields, sometimes expressed
through bitterness and
hostilities.
Within this ensuing
bonding and/or conflicts we often develop the mindset of
you-against-us and we-against-you competitive stance. This
perspective can grow far beyond friendly jabbing in a playful
manner or teasing all the way to establishing territories with
downright hostile resort.
This you-against-us and we-against-you
cultivation has erupted into vicious dispositions of racism
and class-ism (which often gives rise to the formal caste
system).
Yet,
the basic center upon which racism and the cast system pivot
originated within the Garden of Eden and became a whisper from
the serpent to Eve and through Eve to Adam (Genesis, chapter
3), “If you partake of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil, you will have your eyes opened to become as
God, to know good and evil for yourself.” In other
words, Eve would become her own god, knowing what is good and
what is bad from her own perspective and would no longer have
to rely on God for anything! She would establish
independence from the God Who gave her existence and
life.
Ever
since that original fall, each human person has been born
into the world as the center of all things from his
perspective. Consequently, each and every person quite
naturally gravitates toward assessing the whole realm of life
from a single vantage point, that of self. Each fallen
person tends to make every other person and all events to fit
into his own circumference of existence, his interests and
desires, his goals and values, etc. Such a perspective
grows so naturally as often to elude any awareness of its
presence.
Thus,
from the very outset all elements leading toward prejudice,
racism and the caste system found root in the declared
independence from the One, True God. In that rebellion
which we call original sin came a break from ultimate reality
and a birth of all the individualized cells of bondage and
darkness plaguing all humankind. The God Who provided
the genuine basis for union through Truth has been rejected by
the god of self, that god who created separation, distortion,
perversion and captivity leading toward conflict and
destruction. Wars, terror, repressions, ignorance,
hatred, suffering and death took up prominent residence among
the whole human race.
Observations:
Hence,
the backdrop for the
expressions of racism and the development of the caste system
only serves to help us understand all too well just how
natural fallen human tendencies lend themselves to these
expressions. Just as Adam and Eve supplanted the God of
the universe with the god of self, and this concept gave rise
to the notion that this self-centeredness embraced the reason
for existence and the reason for existence had to be the total
springboard for action, this disposition made all others
servants to whatever degree possible, such that other people
and things had to be used or sacrificed to enhance our own
existence.
However, within the course of conflicts
wrought through opposition to other people’s efforts to
manipulate, dominate or otherwise deceive us, we in turn
often develop strategies toward fitting or forcing
others into orbit around ourselves and our interests.
Moreover, we often tend to resort to suppressive
measures to counter hostile intent by others.
Consequently, If we cannot cause individual persons to submit
to our concepts of superiority over them, we can look for
racial or social status differences in them from
that within ourselves and use those differences in an
attempt to make stepping stones to forge ourselves above
them. Hence, we have arrived at racism or sometimes a
practical or real caste
system.
A
corresponding angle comes into play which tends to boost our
movement up the ladder of recognition and success. Our
resort to embellishing ourselves by comparing racial
differences within ourselves which makes us feel more
desirable than those we consider to belong to a different and
inferior race gives us identity with other members of our own
race who share the same disposition as we do. Therefore,
we feed our egos with our identity with others of our own race
or our own social group who share our distorted passion.
Such outbursts of sneering as “We white people keep our
distances from those Negroes (and/or Indians, Orientals,
Mexicans, etc.)” can create a sick sense of bonding
in our cause for which to rally and to fight against
the cause of those we oppose. The same kind of identity
can also take place with respect to accentuating differences
in social status between us and others we consider to be
beneath our social status. Truly, it boils down to
this you-against-us and we-against-you
syndrome!
This
mindset regarding others to be beneath us in value has been
addressed time and again throughout the Holy Bible. As
for example, God called Abram (who later became known as
Abraham, because he would become the father of a great nation)
and God promised to bless him and bless that nation of people
he would father (Genesis 11:2). This promise later gave
the descendents of Abraham an opportunity to take pride in
themselves because God chose them as His own people.
This fact gave many of the Hebrews a feeling of great pride
such that they considered themselves better than everyone
else. However, these same prideful people ignored the
very next verse in Genesis (Genesis 11:3). God’s purpose
for choosing
Israel had been to make them a priestly nation
so that all peoples of the world could receive God’s
blessings. God intended that His Revelation be exported
to all people everywhere; yet, Christ Jesus Himself alone
fulfilled what
Israel failed to do because of their brand of
racism!
But
even Christ’s own disciples had to learn this lesson following
Christ’s Ascension (Acts, Chapter 10). Peter himself had
to learn the lesson that God is no respecter of persons, which
means that God does not show favoritism toward any culture,
race or group (Acts 10:34-35).
Furthermore, sometimes we
can actually allow ourselves a keen focus reflecting an
egotistical tunnel that excludes from real value every person
outside blood relations. Family becomes the
all-important group to embellish the ego--family-ism. We
see this attitude expressed through the justification of any
family member’s ills or abuses based solely on the fact that
such a person is family! This disposition identifies us
with the counterfeit of the Christian
concept of family.
The
New Testament makes explicitly and emphatically clear that
through Christ we become sons and daughters of the King of
kings and Lord of lords (Romans 8:16-17; Galatians 4:7;
Matthew 5:45). Thus, we are brothers and sisters within
the church, the Body of Christ. However, the great
contrast with the world value system with respect to family
and that of the church has to do with exclusivity. While
there can be no question that through the blood of Jesus which
provided for us redemption we who have accepted Christ are
exclusively His, but this does not mean that we look at the
world at large with disdain and consign them to eternal
damnation. Within the Spirit of Jesus, we must see
through our spiritual eyes a world of people who are
potentially our brothers and sisters in Christ. With
that compassionate vision we seek to reach out to bring others
into our family through the New
Birth.
The
counterfeit family structure of flesh-and-blood relationships
remains exclusive. The only way such a family can
increase and expand must be through birth. And, in
reality, the church family may increase only through the
New Birth, but such a New Birth can be received by anyone who
accepts Christ and what Christ did for him at
Calvary!
Nevertheless, the
degeneration of family concepts into the family-ism expression
finds continuity with the same fabric giving rise to racism or
the caste system, for each finds underpinnings from C A P A R A, a coined acronym for
Conceit, Arrogance, Pomposity, Audacity, Rebellion
and
Antagonism. From one to all these vices can be the
moving force behind racism, the caste system and family-ism,
each rising from egomania growing from these
CAPARA vices. Hence, racism,
the caste system and family-ism are all the outcropping of the
same vices.
This
very capara gives rise to the disposition that establishes
racism, the caste system and family-ism and even extends to
many other avenues of expression, such as
feminism,
abortion,
radical
Islamic
terrorism,
and the list
goes on and on. Everyone of these movements draws
from the fire of conceit, arrogance, pomposity, audacity,
rebellion and antagonism, and like fire, these elements will
eventually consume each victim infested by that horrible,
unrelenting flame in capara! All these have a strong
kinship to racism and the caste
system.
Feminism: The thoughts of equitable, fair and
unrestricted recognition and acceptance of women on a par with
men cannot be dismissed as unworthy pursuits. However,
the fact that such pursuits become necessary for women’s
rights reveals a flaw in our culture. Indeed, some men’s
attitudes reflected through macho superiority and intolerance
of rightful women’s equality have been an element pushing many
women toward the extreme feminist movement.
Moreover,
every one of us
needs to understand the serious nature of depriving others the
rights we ourselves claim. Every human being should
belong to the human race, with all the rights, privileges and
entitlements that every other human being enjoys.
Needless to say, these very same rights should, without
question, be reflexively understood to be inherently present
within each gender, male or female. In other words, as
concerning value no difference should be assigned based on
gender, no more than there should be any differences assigned
based on race, culture, etc.
Because many women have felt slighted
within the job arena due to unwarranted discrimination, or
have felt themselves bypassed within the home due to macho
suppression, or have been unappreciated in other areas of
contributions, the distinction between value and role has
become blurred and many women find themselves confused and
lost in a battle fueled by capara!
For instance, the natural role maternal instincts play
in the normal life of almost every woman sometimes creates a
conflict with the woman's ambitions to establish for
herself a demand for the recognition of value as she would
define for herself. The role of motherhood must be
rejected, because such can interfere with her progress up the
corporate ladder or her professional involvement. Thus,
she demands the right to abortion. Sometimes she climbs aboard the gay rights
bandwagon to drive home her independent claims. Thus,
she has separated value from role!
Quite contrary to many
such misconceptions, roles do not have to be identical to be
equitable and just. If such were the case, everybody
should exercise the same role of a police officer or a dog
catcher or a political dignitary or a factory worker.
Indeed not, for each role is different and every role serves a
vital place within the structure and survivability of
society. Roles can be quite different and at the same
time equitable in value. Every person should be of equal
value, irrespective of roles! Hence, the roles of a
father and a mother, a husband and a wife, a parent and a
child should all be different in responsibilities but equal in
value. Each person’s dignity should demand respect, but
each person’s role should be determined by his birth, his
abilities, his position, his opportunities, etc.
Due to this confusion between value and
role, some women have been driven off the deep end, becoming
vicious, unrelenting opponents of human rights,
especially with respect to the unborn child and
abortion. Many of these feminine rebels have become
saturated by the very furnace of capara, bent on efforts that
could lead toward the destruction of society and
themselves.
Thus, the problems some of these
feminists sought to remedy from the outset became lost in the
ever-growing complexity given rise to by the maze of personal
egotism, which supplanted God with self, as with original
sin. Because of fallen human nature, the gravity
attracting feminists toward the abyss of confusion, darkness,
conflict—and ultimately into captivity—wields unrealistic hope
through illusions of an impending personal utopia, a secure
plateau, a goal worthy of every effort and personal sacrifice
to achieve. But such a dream forever recedes, like a
distant star in the black night sky, ever moving beyond reach
as the traveler rushes along the highway in pursuit.
True, the promises remain in view, taunting the feminist to
stretch beyond herself, to keep going, just a little further,
on and on, but never quite in reach, never quite the
satisfying moment to gloat, never quite the exhilaration of
the finish, the recognition, the triumphant march in which all
critics and skeptics must bow in surrender and acknowledge the
victory. A sad conclusion must sooner or latter overtake
the most stubborn and persistently radical feminist activist;
she will either succumb to defeat or withdraw into a boiling
bitterness of hatred and disgust, buried in the slime of
capara in an effort to destroy her
opponents!
Sad to say, what starts in the cause of
equity and justice for the rights of all women all too
frequently has a tendency to slide into the slimy pit
generated by egomania, the consequences of continuing original
sin. But we dare not categorically lump all feminist
movements together, for there remain the exceptions, the
anomalies, as the great Susan B. Anthony, the just, devoted
promoter of women’s rights in the 1800’s demonstrates.
Found even during our modern era, some very special women
fight for the rights of all women but vehemently renounce the
culture of death and proclaim the right to life
unapologetically!
While we would never single out even the
most abrasive, detestable, obnoxious and flagrant of all
feminist movements to zero our most hostile assault upon in
the mean spirit of hatred, we would, on the other hand,
express our deepest intolerance and total rejection of
attitudes, behavior, and mindless murder of innocent, unborn
children in the name of choice! As we do bring our
burden to bear upon these crimes against humanity, we do well
to seek to rescue, not only the victims, but also the
victimizers by the exercise of truth! Some may never
hear us and resist the truth with an anger that those
malicious minds would wish it were possible to murder us also,
but, thank God, some do hear and respond to join us in the
battle against that deep darkness!
Abortion: Another aspect of this bigotry raises its
ugly head in the same vein as racism, caste system,
family-ism, feminism, etc. Abortion fits within the
scope of this self-centered mindset produced through original
sin. When self has been elevated above others, whether
the male component, the boss who makes demands, or other
symbols of authority, such as the police, or simply the child
within the womb whom we can despise or blame as an intruder,
we have expressed rebellion against God and His moral and
spiritual laws. (See abortion, hardcore
abortion)
Indeed, the very same vices in capara
which arouse racial prejudice, cause the resort to
the caste system, give birth to family-ism and
create feminism play prominently in abortion.
Just what are the reasons for
abortion?
Many myths abound, but allow us to
recount only three of them:
Many activists flimsily declare that such
practice ensures women’s right of choice. They even seek
to create a strong fantasy that this so-called right resides
in the Constitution of the
United
States.
First, no one is guaranteed a right that
cannot be universally applied to all humans within the context
of our democracy. The unborn child must be denied any
rights apart from what the mother decides for that child when
right of choice demands the brutal torture and murder of that
child. Thus, the child's rights are denied by the trump
of the mother's so-called right to chose when the child's life
is forfeited!
Second, when the life or well being of
the mother is at stake, abortion may be necessary to save the
mother. However, within our technologically advanced
society abortion very rarely, if ever, becomes a necessary
procedure to save the life of the mother. Some would
argue that the emotional well-being of the mother may be at
stake. In such cases, the mother may simply decide to
place the child up for adoption as a far better alternative
than outright murder. Quite the contrary, mothers who
have had abortions tend to be hounded with guilt, remorse and
depression from psychological complications resulting from
abortion.
Third,
abortion has justification under the Constitution’s
right to privacy. Again, right to privacy does
not have explicit constitutional support. The
Constitution of the
United
States does indeed guarantee freedom from
intrusive invasion of peoples homes and lives without due
process based on reasonable evidence. Nevertheless,
privacy has never legitimately been considered a safe haven to
act with impunity in the commission of crimes and
atrocities against society. Should abortion clinics
be consider a place to exercise a right to act in privacy to
commit murder? Certainly not! No more
than murder of guests committed in the privacy
of a person's home should be considered
legitimate. Again, privacy should never be justifiable
grounds for any criminal act!
There remain many other myths concerning
abortion, but for further discussion on abortion, check our Abortion
Page.
Radical
Islamic terrorism: It certainly
demands noteworthiness that
little gods feel unrestrained to express themselves in any
fashion, irrespective of all the misery, torture, anguish and
havoc their decisions inflect on countless others, even women
and children, just in the fantasy of the hope that each will
be rewarded in such repugnant, crass and lustful fulfillment
of sexual orgies with seventy virgins as each one’s reward for
an act of terror through suicide. This very lewd
delusion may well be expressed in the parable of the suicide bomber,
realistically demonstrating how a dose of reality can shock
the lustful religious fanatic when his reward turns out to be
a rude awakening!
We need to pray for these sinful and
deceived masses who are driven by such lust. This
self-centered trap into which they fall reflects perfectly
original temptation and sin.
Analysis:
To
break down elements to the central hub, we will inevitably discover that every
manifestation of racism, the caste system, family-ism,
feminism, abortion, radical Islamic terrorism, etc., share in
the common predisposition of original sin. That is, each direction, whether through
what we classify as racism or the caste system or any one of
the other expressions reflects self-centeredness and elements
of capara; indeed, self-centeredness
finds a natural affinity with capara and natural directions
for expressions through capara.
Of course, such a mindset forges darkness
with any light which possibly sifts through the distortion of
self-centeredness, self-interests, self-serving goals and the
like. Such residual glimmer of that light becomes
tainted into a kind of poison that degenerates. Death
resides in the recesses of mental gymnastics which seek to
justify the course and sacrifice the rights of others to
support the delusion embraced, the delusion that moral and
spiritual accountability finds little or no relevance within
the decisions and actions settled upon.
Cure:
Is all then lost for such
depraved individual persons? The answer must echo with
resounding certainty: Absolutely! No hope can
arise from that desolate death trap. No degree of study,
mental revival, pursuit of answers and research can recover
anyone caught within this trap of self-centered
quagmire. Then, the futility brings us to consign such
people to eternal damnation!
Right?
Humanly speaking, that statement rings
true. But what is impossible for any person on earth is
possible with God (Matthew 19:26). Through the Holy Spirit one can
find himself brought to an awareness of his own condition and
helplessness. That becomes the starting point to find
that God can rescue. God alone through Jesus Christ can
bring Salvation.
Consequently, the Christian, the one who
has died to self and all that pulls him toward capara, chooses to walk under the
Holy Spirit’s transforming presence That holy influence
rescues him and brings him into lovable.life
(an acronym coined to represent the antithesis of
capara). The nature of lovable.life
can be understood by the significance of each
letter:
Love—the character of Christian love far
exceeds the connotation of the term love in our society—and in
most all cultures, for that matter. This kind of love,
agape, the New Testament’s coined Greek term, speaks of a
totally outgoing, self-giving love which always focuses upon
what we can do for others regardless of the rewards or adverse
consequences we may face. This love asks in genuine
concern and care what can I do to meet your needs? rather than
what can you do to make me feel better and help me enjoy
life?
We need to pray for these sinful and

self-centered trap into which they fall reflects perfectly

consequences we may face. This love asks in genuine
concern and care what can I do to meet your needs? rather than
what can you do to make me feel better and help me enjoy
life?
Order—Christians understand the vital,
inseparable link between love and order. They desire to
assure a society of stability and justice, of protection and
security, of opportunities and goodwill. They wish to
establish the family based on family and Christian
values, such that needs may be met and everyone can bond in
love.
Vibrancy—a Christian can never be
invulnerable to the ills of humanity, such as loneliness,
distress, pain, grief and even physical death. But
genuine life undergirds and reveals purpose and direction
through these mishaps, giving the true Christian undeniable
recourse. For this reason, even when vibrancy dims
almost beyond awareness, there remain the hope and confidence
in God that allows the radiant glow to crack the darkness with
that glimmer of hope when no hope can otherwise be
detected.
Authenticity—genuineness of devotion and expression fundamentally
attest to the centrality of Christian character, the very
heart of Christian orientation.
Belief—the
universe itself radiates the design of the Creator. God
has never left humanity without a true witness to His Light
(Romans, chapters 1-3). While the universe itself
provides factual evidence to God’s prominence, the fact of
God’s Presence reflected through His creation cannot give us
an adequate window to reveal His Character. Hence, we
need revelation both through His Word, the Holy Bible, and
through the Word made flesh, Jesus
Christ.
Loyalty—for a Christian God’s
amazing faithfulness toward us in that while we were yet in
rebellion against Him, while we were vile sinners, while we
hated our own Creator, God loved us and faithfully gave
Himself for us through Jesus Christ. Therefore, the
loyalty of a Christian reflects his response to the
faithfulness of his God.
Expendability—one of
the most demonstrable impacts Christianity has had upon this
dark and belligerent world comes through self-giving, finding
its most effective connection through sacrifice, first
expressed by Christ Himself at Calvary and then through
Christians who have willingly given themselves to become
expendable for their LORD. Genuine love can mean nothing
in a vacuum, but it can create bonds beyond imagination
through self-sacrifice.
<<<<<>>>>>
Learner—Christians have always been known as disciples.
They exhibit that earnest desire to know more and more.
This kind of student of our LORD seeks to know Christ Himself
intimately, not merely facts about Him or facts about the
Bible, though facts are indeed included. They yearn for
the personal relationship with their God. For this
reason they read the Scriptures, pray and seek to pursue
investigations and research which unfold God’s very Presence
and Reality to them.
Involvement—one of
the most distinguishing characteristics of the genuine
Christian expression relates to involvement. These true
children of the living God cannot sit on the sidelines and
keep silent. They become salt and light into every
avenue and aspect of society (Matthew
5:13-16). The early church became
actively involved in sharing the gospel. They met
opposition, but did not allow those troubling times to deter
them (study the book of Acts).
Far-sightedness—true
Christians find themselves in the game for the long
haul. Instant gratification does not become a driving
force within the scope of their commitment. The book of
Job reveals the underlying principles which guide the
Christian life toward the distant shore of completion.
Patience must become the reliable pillow upon which to find
renewal.
Endurance—staying
the course when the clouds obscure the view measures the
endurance of anyone. This may be especially said of the
Christian, whose sight focuses upon the distant land where God
will ultimately bring him to rest eternally with
Him.
