1. The discussion by Crystal Rembert analyses
the cross cultural ability of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ did understand
that the world was divided and multicultural, however, based on his teachings,
he encouraged all people to be of one race. Jesus Christ saw the differences
that existed in the society and how these differences alienated different
cultures from each other, however, he preached love and unity. He also took the
effort and try to understand aspects of each culture and in doing so he managed
to teach people from different culture his gospel in a manner that is acceptable
and they could adhere. He always had specific ways of teaching based on the
cultural characteristics of each group. This shows that he understands the
important of culture and knew that despite the differences, they were all his
children. The discussion explores the efforts that Christ made in ensuring that his gospel is accepted in all cultures. Many
people use differences as sources of conflict and discrimination and it is true
to say that humans are always inclined towards those they are likened to and
away from these they have differences with. However, the gospel of Jesus Christ
is beyond such boundaries and brings all together as children of god.
2. According to Jessica Owens discussion, all
humans were made in the image of God, and this means to God we are all equal.
Humans have however developed differences that can be said to be earthly but
what truly matters is what is right before God. For many years people have put
a lot of focus and time on matters that do not really matter in the eyes of
God, and this has had the effect of creating divisions between men and has
distanced them from God. Cultural differences are the number one sources of the
world of today and have become great sources of sin. The conflicts they have
creates\d have led to great discrimination, genocides, and wars. People have
forgotten the word of God, and this has made people lose favor in the eyes of
God. Jesus Christ came to save mankind by teaching them about God and His love
for all humanity. His teachings cut across all cultural barriers to bring all mankind
together as one race that is equal in the eyes of God. Political correctness
has been an aspect that people focus on instead of the actual truth in the eyes
of God, and this has forced people to please humankind instead of pleasing and
loving God.
