Wacky Wednesday--We Should Eliminate Nations

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.


~No war—when was the last time Texas and Louisiana went to war with each other?

~It would allow for a more equitable distribution of resources.

~Free markets require free movement of labor force to proper labor zones

~We’re already in a global market.

~It would increase the efficiency of government.

~You’re scared of a world government just like Virginia and South Carolina were scared of the United States of America.

~Open borders would decriminalize a vast number of people.

~Don’t you believe in freedom of movement?

~Are we Americans or are we humans?

~You resist this because you think that your concerns will be dominated by the concerns of people elsewhere, but isn’t that just exactly what democracy looks like?

~Increasing exposure to other people and languages would be good for us.

~One set of rules everywhere is the only fair thing.

~Some people really suffer because they are born in awful situations, and other people really prosper because they are born in excellent situations. How is that fair?

~You want to keep America the way it is, but that’s because you were lucky enough to be born here through no merit of your own.

~You wouldn’t have to buy an expensive passport.

~Most countries represent silly and quite arbitrary lines in the sand somewhere that do not properly aggregate likeminded or like-raced individuals at all.

~Even in America, our differences are starting to look insoluble though we all claim to be one big happy country.

Andrew, I believe it is the purpose of God and Christ to do just that: eliminate nations. Daniel 2:44 makes it rather clear and so does the apostle Paul's inspired reasoning at 1 Cor. 15:24, 25.

Your thoughts? ;)

I fully agree...after the judgment, as both passages state. The key being whether God is the one abolishing nations or man doing so. If we do it, it will be premature and disastrous. Going further, it almost would seem that for us to try it ourselves would be to imitate (usurp) God's prerogative and promise to do so Himself. But when He does it, I really look forward to that day. =)

Yes, I believe you are thinking along the same line of thought as I am. It was the prophet Jeremiah who said in prayer to God: "I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step." (Jer. 10:23) For man to try and accomplish what he is not authorized by God to do and what God has reserved to himself would be disaster - and lame at best. Perhaps after the nations under Satan's and imperfect man's control are removed and our Lord Jesus Christ holds full sway in Kingdom authority for man's benefit we all will learn the importance of love and unity - not independent, selfish actions. After all, He is the one who has taught us how to really live and serve.

God already provided us unification means through Anne Catherine Emmerick:

Proto-Indo-European = Adamic

Proto-Indo-European = Adamic

but this unification must be through God's Catholic Church, but NOT through satanic UNO/NWO, etc...
