described in Scripture?
In the first chapters of the
Scripture, it mentioned that God made the world to be recognized as His
creation, then brings the human beings to participate with Him to create more

that with creating any creativities, it presents our love for Him and His
creation as well.

a significant role throughout the history of the United States because, as we
acknowledged that, the country has been famous with a great amount of
discrimination within its people. The discrimination in the United States is
often formed by racial inequality, in which the black people has fewer rights
than white people. Therefore, discrimination within the rules and practices has
the enduring effects not only as a moral overbearing, but also it has created
the economic concern for the country as well (Tamura, 2008).

explained that God creates no difference between the characteristic values of
any race or ethnicity over another. In fact, the Scripture has strictly
mentioned that “God cares how we treat each other because we’re all created in His
image” (Genesis 1:27). Therefore, human beings should realize that
there should be no discrimination, as God has never created various races for
human. Instead, he only created one race for the entire human beings, which is
the human race.
3. In
what ways can we do a better job of meeting the standard described in

should treat our enemies?
The justification for war in
the Scripture that the entire human beings need to do all they can to end the
war. In fact, God has said that human beings should able to love their enemies,
do good things to them, give them a loan without supposing any refund. By doing
this, God will give a reward from heaven (Luke 6:35).

better job of meeting the standard described in Scripture?
The Scripture has described
that human beings should never take any revenge if anyone hurt them since God

imperfect human beings attempt to take any revenge, then the result from this
