We Are

What is the definition of humanity? Better yet, who is the definition of humanity? As described in the dictionary, humanity is "the quality or state of being human." Humanity is mankind, "the human race." As described in the Thesaurus, "human beings in general."

As I see it, humanity is Adam plus Eve equal Seth plus the wife he knew equal their bloodline, which included Noah. Humanity is Noah plus the wife he knew equal Shem and Ham and Japheth plus the wives they knew (God bestowed upon Noah and his sons, saying "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth." Genesis-9:1). The beginning of "us". Us equal you, us equal me. You plus me equal "we". We are humanity.

We are the same, possessing internal organs (one of which is the brain) encased by bones covered by skin with red yellow clear white green fluids coursing throughout beneath the skin that is red black white brown yellow. Fair skin, dark skin, light skin, olive skin. We are.

Hair head ears eyes nose lips cheeks chin. Neck shoulders arms hands fingers nails. Chest breasts stomach reproductive organs male female thighs knees legs feet toes nails back hips. We are.

It is all connected. We are all connected (God created man in His own image [mental picture], in the image of God created He him, male and female created He them. Genesis-1:27).

Our only differences lie within our culture (mental training and development); religious beliefs/practices (that which is believed; full acceptance of a thing as true; Faith); language (let us go down and there confound [mix up] their language that they may not understand one another's speech. Genesis-11:7).

In conclusion I leave this for you from Paul the Apostle (I Corinthians-1:27): "But God hath chosen the foolish (stupid; weak in intellect [lacking in reasoning and/or thinking] things of the world to confound (confuse/mix up) the wise (learned/having knowledge); and God hath chosen the weak (simple/easily influenced) things of the world to confound the things which are mighty (having great strength/power)."

From me (my interpretation): God has chosen the weak-minded of the world to influence the strong and powerful of the world by mixing things up and spreading hatred.

From Paul the Apostle (I Corinthians-1:28): "And base (morally/ethically [of distinguishing between right and wrong] low) things of the world, and things which are despised (looked down upon), hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought (zero) things that are."

From me (my interpretation): Since those who look down on others are incapable of knowing right from wrong, God has chosen them to confuse mankind. It is up to those who are not looked down upon to put an end to the confusion the weak-minded has caused, concerning hatred.

We each possess the power to make a change, to make a difference, to save the concept of humanity.
