Why We Need Judeo-Christian Values Again

[@annme7638]

What he was talking about was God not favoring one race over another. We are all the same in God’s eyes. Genesis 1:27, Galatians 3:28.

[@brettelizabethspore]

That’s exactly what I was going to say. 😊

[@janedoe5229]

When the narrator said that God does not care about ethnicity, I believe he meant that God loves ALL His children, and race does not matter to Him. God created us all, with different colors. Just like the animals are different colors and just like the flowers are different colors. And he loves us ALL. If you have a black dog and a white dog, would you love them differently because of their colors? Of course not. It's the same for God loving us. And people with Judeo-Christian values are the same way: we embrace all colors. Colors do not matter to us.

Nope. It's a term that is made up by Prager and Ben Shapiro. Also the nation was not founded on "judeo-christian values" it was founded on the concept of individual liberty and self-determination.

[@user-jv8zo3wl1q]

Judeo-Christian values are moral and ethical values shared between both Judiasm and Christian religions. Since Christianity was born out of Judiasm, the values shared between these two religions are significantly more numerous than any other two randomly chosen religions. So there is an emphasis placed on the value of human life over other forms of life, honesty, the family unit composition, etc.

Wow it took 89 years to finally end slavery in all parts of the United States it was Western Civilization the first came to the realization that slavery was evil and set out to end it. In the United States the northern states had all about slavery long before the civil war. In fact in all of Western Civilization the American South was the lone holdout when it came to slavery by the time the war started.

3:29 "What about the republican vote?" My dude....they're not talking about Democrat party vote, they're talking about Democratic process of voting. Republican vote and Democrat voting is all part of the "Democratic voting system". Democratic means multiple people vote and the majority wins. Both Repubs and Dems are okay with this because this is believed to be better than living as subjects in a Monarchy where there's Royalty of Kings/Queens and Lords. When we say God doesn't care about race, we're saying he's not "racist" or prefers races, but there will always be God's Chosen People.

[@tomwallace3103]

Some Americans want hang on and cultivate the Idea that the Untied States was founded and benefited from Slavery. However, after Winning their independence from England and becoming a free nation our founding fathers started setting the groundwork for abolishing slavery. It took 89 years for the United States to abolish slavery, because in order to abolish slavery the will of the people not government was needed. And the Civil War brought the United States bankruptcy and poverty. Our founding fathers created the United States to have the smallest government possible. A government that could not order citizens to rid themselves of freedom or property. It took moral people with Christian values to rid the The United States of America of slavery. In steep contrast too todays US GOVERNMENT which is so powerful that it can basically prosecute and terrorize American citizens and companies for its own interests. And the reason we can’t curtail this power is half of the country is blind or brainwashed to their true goal, Total control and power over every aspect of American life. Calling it Democracy, in truth it’s a Marxist Socialist movement.

You are exactly right about ethnicity. God does care about that - all of them! There is only ONE race created by God - the human race. So, if one chooses to be racist, they are anti-human. Differences in culture and ethnicity are beautiful things to be explored and sought to be understood and valued. I love that my family, my friends, my community of faith is both ethnically and culturally diverse. It makes us all better and stronger and beautiful as we seek to please God by living our lives according to His Word which outlines for us clearly how to live in shalom with one another and proclaim God’s majesty.

[@TexasHoosier3118]

Judeo-Christian values are not about messianic Jews. They are values that both Jews and Christians believe in. Dennis Prager would probably not promote Messianic Jews in his videos.

[@justsayn2075]

Man as created has no physical form. If you are a believer, you believe that your soul will be judged long after your body, racial identity, has long been reduced to dust. Therefore, God is not concerned about the body you exist in. The souls of Adam and Eve occupied the bodies created for them. I try very hard see all people as they present themselves and not the racial body in which they exist.

[@jackiekennedy3074]

God does not see color, we are all God's children and he loves you all unconditionally period!! You cannot be a Christian and be a racist. Love conquers all. God bless 🙏❤️🙏

[@rodleger7132]

Ethnicity is not the issue. It is about all of us being one. Regardless of skin color or creed, we are humans. Do not judge a book by it's cover. It is our diversity that gives us strength. When are we as modern humans going to wake up and realize that we are all in this together. No one is better than anyone else. Until we unite, we are divided. Let us concentrate on making ourselves the best we can be, instead of divisiveness. Imagine the possibilities, no war, no famine, no murders, no degradation of people or society. It is possible, it is achievable. We need to change our ways.

[@janedoe5229]

[@TheVintessa]

God cares about every ethnicity and race but only because they are humans

[@elizabethcoutts5203]

God looks at the heart, not the outward appearance. I think he was saying that God doesn’t see Asian people’s hearts, black people’s hearts or white people’s hearts. He was saying that one of the Judeo Christian values is that we are all of equal value and worth before God, and made in His image. We are one race… one bloodline descended from Adam and Eve… the human race… whom God loves. Whenever people stray from this fundamental value (whether in the past or present) they end up focusing on skin colour and ethnicity. The result is division, arrogance, intolerance and hatred.

[@JayRenn]

Slight correction: Mormons believe there are trillions of gods and that they can become gods in the afterlife. Thus the saying, "As man is, Good once was. As God is, man may become." Jews, Protestants, and Catholics believe Isaiah 43:10,11: "You are my witnesses," declares the Lord, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior".

[@janedoe5229]

I am an ex-Mormon and that is true. But I think what the narrator is saying that Mormons practice Judeo-Christian values. However, the "Fundamentalist" Mormons practice polygamy, and there is a lot of sexual abuse in the Fundamentalist communities. The are not part of the mainstream Mormon church.

[@JosephHunsaker]

Think of it like Fatherhood. There are many Fathers. But you come from ONE. There are many Gods. But you only have ONE God. Also, just like any good Father wants their children to grow up and be like them, God wants us to grow up and be like Him - A god.

[@HarleyGoat02]

[@Zomfoo]

God acknowledges ethnicity, but makes no preference.

[@Dziadzia-d6e]

My one disagreement with Prager here is the notion that mankind is evil. God doesn't create evil, God doesn't make evil. So mankind is essentially good. BUT, because mankind is essentially good, evil can confuse, corrupt the good into doing, accepting, evil. For example, Eve was tricked into feeling, thinking, that eating from the tree God had forbidden them to eat from, was a good thing. Her, and Adam's, heart told them it was good to do. But their head should have told them, no. As the New Testament states 'Even Satan can appear as an angel of light'. That is Satan can appear as a doer of good, champion of the oppressed, disenfranchised, the poor, etc. But we know that the outcome of the 'good' we think we'd be doing, will be bad. So, it isn't just heart alone, or head alone, but both. So mankind is essentially good, but that goodness can be tricked into doing evil in the guise of doing good.

[@DarylTurner-i1s]

It's sad to think GOD created the human race, and GOD created the melanin in the skin which gives people their different skin color. We are all from GOD and we should treat everyone as family.

[@James-rm7sr]

The issue is God is spirit which we cannot see. He doesn't share our races as we call them. As a spirit can rarely ever be seen. A few various descriptions, but all pointing to a basically what light of the sun looks like. It isn't human as far as that goes. Our bodies and races now are a result of the fall. We are promised that one day we will be given a body that doesn't parish and grow old. It is why scripture says that if you hate another believer in Christ and goes for anything as John doesn't give us an okay in any situation. If we hate another brother or sister we are not of the light we are as murders and bound to hell. I personally suggest you ask yourself if you worship your skin color or God. Anything can be an idle unto God and he is a jealous God. Also, the worship of the human body skin and whatever else is that of worshipping of the beast in Revelations. If you do so and have committed acts being works for such then you are cut off. As those who take the mark of the beast and worship the beast are cut off. So many are bound to hell for the hate in their hearts. They have not known the God of Israel, but that of a false god they fashioned after their own likeness. It is why he commands us not to have any other gods before him. Anything can become a god in a persons life if put above God. If you have strayed I do beg to return. It is hard in this day and age surrounded by hate where it is pushed and takes a strong person to push it off. For there is no Greek Nor Jew Nor Black Nor White in the Kingdom of God. Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Although, one may not see such Kingdom it is around us. Judgement day is going to come for all and on that day I pray you have turned to Christ.

[@joelmclean2898]

The proof that God doesn't recognize race or even religion is in Acts where Jesus tells the disciples to spread the Truth to all people, not just Jews. The new covenant between God and man (which was sealed by Jesus' crucifixion) opened heaven to everyone, regardless of heritage. Black, Latino, Asian, Greeks, Jews...All are children of God.

Question: Does God recognize nations and tribes?

[@joelmclean2898]

@@TaySteph the only indication of a recognition I know of is early in the old testament when it is laid out on how the 12 tribes of Israel would be divided and treated. Other nations are mentioned frequently, but He doesn't seem to play favorites. Israel is shown to wage war against other nations at God's order, but it seems just as frequently these same nations defeat and enslave Israel. It all seemed to be done to be part of His plan.

[@LouRao]

Another misunderstanding about God and race: God, as an entity, has no race. He was not created; He has always existed. God’s creation encompasses everything we can see and cannot see. In His creation, all is loved by Him. We are created in God’s image, with our consciousness or soul, which has no race. After death, there is no race once our consciousness departs from the body. Like God, in death, all consciousnesses are one and one with God. An example of what is to come after death can be illustrated by using sleep. During a deep sleep, someone enters a subconscious state. Have you ever noticed that you never see your hands, legs, feet, or face? Have you ever noticed that you never speak or communicate with others using your mouth in your dreams, but it is done through consciousness? The experience of one's dreams, having no awareness of a physical presence (body), is just a taste of what it will be like after we pass from this world. The consciousness or soul does not define the physical realm after life; it is spirit, which does not inherit the worldly things we are accustomed to. Whereby, being made in the image of God actually refers to our consciousness or souls. We love to use the physical world as a reference to the image of God, but He is not physical and never was or would be. It is easy to demonstrate who God is in this world because of our limitations of being physically bound from knowing before death. Without a Near-Death Experience (NDE) or complete death, we are subject to cultural influences and years of passed-down history regarding who God is. The one thing Judeo-Christian got it right, God is Love, all created in the image of God, and heaven is one with God. 😎

[@go2therock]

Many people have responded to your objection regarding God's care for all races. May I point you in the direction of the amazing Monique Duson? God loves and cares for ALL people. We read in His Word that He "is no respecter of persons." The phrase “God is no respecter of persons” means that God does not show favoritism based on social status, race, or nationality but judges each individual according to their character and actions, regardless of their past sins. God looks into our hearts, not on outward appearances. Keep digging, kids! ❤ Tip: People want to hear your thoughts, not just watch you watch a video. Check out Cartier Family. 👍🏼

[@MusicaTexas]

As far as God is concerned there is only one race, the human race. The only reason we have different races or ethnicities today is because of the foolishness at the tower of Bable, thus we are all created by God to originally be one race and as believers we are brothers and sisters in Christ, regardless of the melanin in our skin.
