1 | Did God want borders to exist? | OT general | Xapis | 189 | ||
I believe that it is in keeping with God's character to unite and reconcile. Borders are a result of sin, and the discord that comes with it. As it is, until sin is done away with and Christ rules on the earth, we will have borders. Christ as King, however allows us to live above political bounderies to bring peace to the whole earth. | ||||||
2 | Did God want borders to exist? | OT general | Ron | 209 | ||
If you are talking about divisions between God's people the answer is no. Jesus prayed for unity of all those who believe in Him through the apostles word (John 17:20-21). Paul tells us that it is God's will that we "all speak the same thing, and there there be no divisions among" us "but that" we " be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement" (1 Corinthians 1:10). The only way we can really be united as Jesus prayed is to follow Paul's admonition or Peter's in 1 Peter 4:11 where he said, "if any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God." | ||||||
