And what exactly is "humankind"?

Genesis 1:26
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.

"Let us make man in OUR image"
"after our likeness"

Galatians 3:26
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

All children of God. What kind of children do cats have? What kind of children do dogs have?

Do cats not have children cat?
Do dogs not have children dogs?

Psalm 82:6
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Guess this verse shows what kind of "children" God has.

for clarification

in the above posts, I am using this definition of humankind:
the human race

"Human" is a secular word. God never refers to us as "human". This also comes from people that lack the faith thereof. It separates us from God.

the people of the bible had faith, they refer to humans as 'man', but it has the same connotation

Ok, please share where it uses the term "man" in reference to both male and female please.

in Genesis, he created man in his image, he created THEM

throughout the bible the word mankind is also used...

but its really a sematic issue and far from the op of Ghandi quotes.,,,,

so you love God and Jesus only because they have done something for you...but have indifference to those that done nothing for you

I love my 'neighbor',, my fellow man, because I wish no harm coming to them, I Wish them as much as I wish for myself as a human

I dont love non HUMAN anything nor hate non humans,unless there is some personal relationship that sparks such love

MsHarmony...that's what I said, that you only love those non-human creatures like God and Jesus that you have benefited from but yet claim indifference to those that have done nothing for you

same message that Gandi had when he compared some people to non-human species

now I understand why you are so willing to look beyond his evil quotes because they seems to reflect your views

and why you refuse to show the love to Satan simply because he is not the same race as you

you're basically basing love on benefits and/or race

except Ghandi actually diminished other HUMANS to sub human status

big difference

I refuse to love satan because I refuse to love evil,, satan is pure evil, something I dont believe is possible for any human walking the earth,,,

wow.... so it's ok to not Love non humans that you haven't benefitted from but yet it's ok to love humans that have reduced other humans to sub-human status.....

Christian Love is sort of scary ...



and yet so far you fail to list anything to back up your claim as to why Satan is any more pure evil than other humans walking the Earth or has walked the Earth

question:

so it's ok to not Love non humans that you haven't benefitted from but yet it's ok to love humans that have reduced other humans to sub-human status.....





yes, its ok to not love THINGS, or non humans, its only not ok to not love your 'neighbor' (fellow man)


its not ok to HATE, but its ok to not LOVE as well,, there is another emotion called IMPARTIAL,,,,,not deserving of love nor hate,,,

I am impartial to SATAN, I leave him to God, and I work hard at avoiding his deception and trickery

including the idea that I should feel wrong for not 'loving' him,,,

God gave him no option to be forgiven, and he has no goal other than to seperate man from God

no singular human has the power to seperate man from God, and I am of the highest doubt that any human is making it their sole purpose to do so,,,

all this off topic discussion because I chose to use a Ghandi quote in a thread titled

"Ghandi said"


....so interesting, and tiring,,,

you forgot to include that it's also ok for Christian to disobey the command from Jesus to Love thy enemy ...

It's not ok... it's never ok to disobey God.

And doesn't matter if one is Christian or not lol... we are ALL children of God, weather we're a Christian or other... God doesn't care about "religion". He cares about having a relationship with his children.

oh Jeez.,...another blame Satan sermon..

MsHarmony....what power do Satan has to seperate you from God that you didn't make the choice to give to him....

actually it was your quote as to "how Christians such as yourself" have some magical abilty to look beyond the bad things and see the good

well we now know that isn't true...especially for non-humans ...no wonder aliens never visit Earth...or hide when they do

Cowboy...is the name of the birth Father on your birth certficate God?...if not then you are not his child ...perhaps you should go one the Maury Povich Show and opt for a DNA test instead of continuing your delusion that you are some sort of Demi-God

Ah, but now you're speaking of apples and oranges. Talking about a spiritual matter comparing secular objects eg., birth certificate.
