Globally Objective Debate #1 …Here is a radical but cautious approach towards the "Harmonious Integration Mission (H.I.M.)" :
…and hath made of one blood all nations of men…Acts chapter 17, verse 26
This Universal Bible guide, might provide some comfort, during one’s inquisitive religiously fulfilling journey. Agreeably, it is much easier to "steer & corral" a small 12 passenger "pleasure boat", but much more difficult to "compass" a monstrous two thousand passenger "ocean liner". Similarly, It is extremely burdensome on Society to circumvent established, entrenched “middle ground” social order (artificial social boundaries) especially when the voice of descent, is from "poor souls" crying out in the wilderness. Fellow adventurists disciples, beware; ...as a wise old saying goes ..."don't put all your eggs in one basket". History has taught us that influence can be asserted from the "outside" (Jesus Christ, converts his holy band of rogues) ...as well as, very effectively from the "inside" (Mandela, Gandhi, Martin Luther etc).
In addition, although the two scenarios appear to be mutually exclusive of each other; ...they do complement each other, as well as intersect with each other, at times, ...a mandate of this “Universal Bible” is to adapt both principles, by courting the compassion of both the "Insiders" as well as the "Outsiders" ...It should not be that difficult to move forward in "Parallel" mode, ...a Historical perspective, supporting the Contemporary view. Harmonious human interaction, simply requires an environment that allows an individual to freely divulge and embrace their religious stratification of choice, rather than be saddled with "cloned expectations" based entirely on a society’s rigid dictates ..."To LISTEN" should be the goal, not "To CONVERT"...
Be tolerant, ...to individuals, who try to live in the image of God, ...they, being "Born again"... {journeying "towards" Righteousness}, ...and... {"moving away"...... from corruption}; deserve some compassion (read Romans 6:18).
In all fairness, a few individuals do harbor revolutionary ...yet, more than likely harmless thoughts; innocently offending others ...by speaking about matters, that are quietly banned from every-day discussions …such as, where do "I" fit in, comfortably and entitled, with a strong Foundation ...especially unique, in the decision making process; when those holding minority opinions, without overriding "Veto-Proof" power on decisions; ...are now teetering on the brink of defeat, although putting up a valiant effort...
…not many will face this dilemma, but for the few who do, in this day and age, ...they must still wrestle with such issues, against overwhelming odds ...unimaginable thoughts, surface in the face of overwhelming adversity. It is true ...some individuals unintentionally wind-up sacrificing family and friends, when they pursue, even very unselfish "callings". The warning is: prepare yourself for the worse, but hope for the best...
...{1 Corinthians 13:11} When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things ...{1 Corinthians 13:11}...
...individuals "chosen" by the Almighty to spread the "WORD", at least should be allowed transition-in-progress allowances (the Journey towards righteousness), just like when a juvenile (teenagers) explores the labyrinth of inter-personal relationships; ...similar to the natural journey, from infancy into adolescence. Again, those having no where to turn to …will find this Universal Bible guide a haven that provide some comfort, during one’s inquisitive religious journey. Surely, it is extremely burdensome on Society, to circumvent, established entrenched “middle ground” artificial social boundaries, ...as it now appears to be less consequential, to simply ignore the voices of "a few", rather than to accommodate...
Similarly, the few disciples who volunteer to disciple in "harsh" environments; should be commended, rather than persecuted, for their effort. "Non-Believers" dominate ...on-the-fringes ...on the periphery, where for good reasons many seasoned "Believers" choose not to go; ...into the very places that harbor fresh "harvest ready" recruits (to evangelize) for GOD's kingdom. Instead of automatically attaching negative "Labels" to a humble yet brave, inquisitive "Believer" ...please be tolerant of these disciples, ...they do need a lot of "elbow room" to fulfill this immense challenge, ...the role of the "Righteous Missionary", is an old tradition ...so, it is best left up to individuals, to clearly define the roadmap they wish to navigate, ...and be allowed to land in their own comfort zone, on a journey towards righteousness ...most times they seek after a goal that is humane, and in the long run will have a positive impact on humanity.
Therefore, One’s own religious alignment should be a personal choice, though at times, in conflict with a society's more restrictive generic definitions.
As long as an individual does not unduly impose their will, on someone else’s rights and privileges, …dive in, ...as long as one adheres to the New Covenant Law of the good Book (New Covenant Law, of: "love thy Neighbor" - Galations 5:14) ...not to be confused with the outdated, though forever relevant ..."Mosaic Law"... of the Old Testament (Exodus 20).
Your personal choices, within these parameters, ...should not be subject to reprisals by alienated parties, since you are on a journey towards righteousness …but be prepared, to tangle with earthly gatekeepers, on all sides (vigilant nurturing). Depending on availability and flexibility of choices encountered, a strong leaning to a particular religiously induced alignment; ...is the conduit that facilitates one’s direction and assimilation into their anticipated comfort zone of righteousness.
...Since the path of righteousness is the goal, it is only fair, that you be entitled to re-evaluate, outdated era-driven logic, regarding: Racial, Cultural & Religious matters. Subjective observations, made by “Others”, ...who may recommend some other association as being a more appropriate alignment; should be treated as "information subject to validation", by ELDERS having the authority to do so. On the other hand, in your daily life, ..."Restrictive" religious boundaries, such as the "Ten Commandment of life"; although not humanly sustainable, does create opportunities to arrive at better personal choices, through "reasoning" ...without unwarranted external restrictive tethers. Be bold and innovative, however, always remember that accountability requires that there must be a "balance" between FEARLESSNESS and INTELLIGENCE {...2nd Timothy 1:7 "...For God hath not given us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and LOVE, and of a SOUND mind..."}
One would assume, that with such encouraging Doctrine in our hands, common sense should prevail and a well balanced individual, who engages in solid "reasoning" ...with a contemplating mind, should navigate towards the right path (the Journey) ...always be true to yourself... never blindly accept and follow questionable practices, brought to the table; by friend or foe...
In conclusion …for moral support, we embrace worldwide organizations with excellent humanitarian track records, such as the United Nations.
