I am Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

It is truly profound when the Psalmist illustrates the very core and foundation of why, who, and what makes us an individual. Although the scripture in Psalms 139:14-15 is written "I praise you for i am fearfully and wonderfully made." My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made. A lack of understanding of what God has created us as and who he has created us into equaling to why God did not look at culture, race, nor privileged or non-privileged as a mean of creation, but as a mean of purpose and meaning. Humanity has been tainted by the term race. Humanity has turned what God has created and interpreted it into a specific race, class, and group. That is why we have racism, oppression, and non-privileged.

The impact of racism is not from what we have been exposed to as individuals. It does not come from not interacting with individuals from a different race. Racism has an impact and is fueled by the lives, minds, and hearts of individuals who lack information. God illustrates what occurs to people who lack information in Hosea 4:6, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." As individuals which make up humanity, we have given our trust over to the media, books, and distortion of the history of people. As a result of this knowledge about other races in humanity. It has created stereotypes, omissions, and distortions which formed a wide range of problems. Two of the most wide ranges of racism is based on advantage and and classification.

As defined, racial discrimination is to treat differently a person or group of people based on their racial origins. Power is a necessary precondition, for it depends on the ability to give or withhold social benefits, facilities, services, opportunities etc., from someone who should be entitled to them, and are denied on the basis of race, colour or national origin. This definition is in many ways sinful, malicious, and down right wrong. Yet, humanity runs its economic system, education, and much more on the basis of these standards. Because of these standards humanity has based its entire existence on who has the advantage over the less.

This throws humanity into a calamity of classification. Humanity has gone away from the purpose of its creation. When God created us he also framed. In other words God crafted us into the race we would be. Into the physical being we would be. Into the body that we are in. To have unity among us. To share with one another a different aspect of Gods being. Instead we have changed Gods frame work of humanity ans translated it into black, white, Hispanic, Asian, etc. We have become a humanity of labels. We need to come to the understanding that we need knowledge about other cultures, races, and individuals. We need to ask for wisdom. We need to research. We need to learn about other individuals history. In doing so, humanity will shut the door on racism, oppression, disadvantage, and classification. Humanity will then walk into the purpose and frame work in which God formed and created humanity to be (one body).
