Question

Aren't we all children of one and only one God ??????
If your answer is yes then why do you think there are so many caste differences in the world we live in ? Why do people discriminate? Even if you are from the same country but totally from a different religion people seem to have a secluded and "not of my religion" type attitude?

Answer 1

No,

We are all His creation but The Bible teaches that a person must BECOME a child of God..

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

There really is only ONE God, but the universe of universes contains many, many other beings to include you and me and everyone. If you can widen the view a little further to encompass earth history - time, the past, the present and the future - of any family you know, then if you keep going can you see how and why it is that everyone is a. unique, b. the family grew exponentially c. how eventually the families grew so large that not everyone knew each other anymore d. people became separated by land masses, oceans and continents e. people are at different levels of religious and spiritual awareness f. nobody can know exactly all the same things in another person's mind g. the enormous and countless numbers of points of view. h. from infant to adulthood and all levels inbetween... now, see how huge? j. top it off with the fact everybody is a unique individual.

People naturally have a propensity to seek out like minded individuals for their groups of friends, their educators, their political groups, their religious groups, and their social groups...and any other groupism.

From this perspective, we can see that God does not require everyone to see alike and be alike in uniformity; but God does desire that people fine Unity - and to coordinate in the larger purposes of life - to work toward discovering a harmonious cooperation utilizing every individual's gifts and talents to their fullest and as teams/groups to achieve ever better life on earth. To become perfect in our realm as God is perfect in his.

The word "caste" is not a way to do things that is of God, but it is of people, and has been practiced in India, and I think some other countries - they really live that way. The caste systems enslaved and presupposed a person's life to be stuck into whatever their parents were stuck in - if your dad was a beggar, you too have to be one. Sometimes it is just what a person needs is to follow in the footsteps of the parent - if the dad was an artist the child too might have artistic genes, but too often a person's talents have little to nothing to do with what their parents do especially when the parents aren't doing what they are best suited to do - if the mom studied sociology in college and works as a grocery store accountant, then.... they missed the mark.

A person's religious beliefs is very personal to them, and sometimes so much so that it IS the core of who they are. When this is the case, then people whose core is not the same they can tell... and how they react depends upon their will-choice. Where religion is concerned, they tend to get more fierce in holding on to what they believe.

So, all of the above is why I think there are so many differences, not just caste differences, but ways of societies, methods of governments, religious views, political views, scientific views, and so on.

We live in a world of diversity because human beings have will - the ability to choose - volition.

And that's the way God made it, and this is the perfect plan; without 'will' people would all be puppets and living happily along in some predetermined remote control world.

Answer 3

We are all children of one and only one God, the Christian God, but that doesn't mean everyone abides by that fact. That's where the caste and religious differences come into play.

I personally am a Christian, but I believe everyone in essence worships the same God, just under different names and in different ways. I don't judge someone for being another religion. I know how personal religion is. But a lot of people have to believe that they're right, and that's where the differences and the religious wars come into play.

Kind of crazy, huh?

Answer 4

I think we are all creation of God. Dont forget the Earth, universe, living things: animals, plants , the oceans, the sky, even the things we humans thought we have made actually was allowed by God to be in existence to our eyes.

But we humans were made the most sensitive. We think, we are here to use our faith to move ourselves towards the guidance that there is such existence of God and bring ourselves closer to God for a better life in this Earth and the world after.

Answer 5

Firstly I will like to correct one thing.. we are not children of " God''/... The term God is someone who have power over everything He has created!... God in the whole is different from his creation, so nothing is comparable unto him. He's unique from all that He has created in a human being. Likewise He do not have any partners ( husband, wife, daughter, son...etc) as mankind have..
So we cannot say that we are his children, But rather his slave/ worshiper/ servant...etc. We should be proud and Praise him for what we have blessed with. Yet not everything we have is perfectly gifted, just remember "God test us". to see our patient and contentment!!... and He has power over everything!>.

Answer 6

We are all of one Creator... but in the world today people worship many Gods. People are not perfect and as a result they have sinful and wrong tendencies all of the time.

Answer 7

My answer is yes. But there is also satan who is the father of false gods. Yet I would not have the caste, race, or attitude you speak of.

Answer 8

Read below what God (Allah) about your belief that
you are children of God in Al-Quran.

Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #18)

(Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of (God) Allah, and his beLoved.

" Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins?

Nay, ye are but men,- of the men He (God) hath created:

He (God) forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He (God) punisheth whom He pleaseth:

and to (God) Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth,
and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"
