God Himself, the Unique IX God Is the Source of Life for All Things (III)

God Himself, the Unique IX God Is the Source of Life for All Things (III)

God created all beings and established boundaries for them, and among them nurtured all kinds of living things. As all beings were nurturing all kinds of living things, He also prepared different survival methods for humans, so you can see that human beings don’t just have one way to survive. They also don’t have just one type of environment for survival. We talked before about God preparing various types of food and water sources for humans, which is something that is critical for allowing mankind’s life in the flesh to continue. However, among this mankind, not all people subsist on grains. People have different survival methods due to differences in geographical environments and terrains. These survival methods have all been prepared by God. So not all humans are primarily engaged in farming. That is, not all people get their food from growing crops. This is the third point that we’re going to talk about: Boundaries have been developed from mankind’s various lifestyles. So what other types of lifestyles do humans have? What other different types of food sources do humans have? There are several primary types:




The first is a hunting lifestyle. Everyone knows of it. Do any of you hunt for your living? You are all modern people—you don’t know how to hunt, how to carry a gun. Your food sources are produced from the earth. What do people who live by hunting eat? (Game.) They eat the birds and the beasts of the forest. “Game” is a modern word. Hunters don’t think of it as game; they think of it as food, as their daily sustenance. For example, they would be happy if they got a deer. “Great, this deer is enough food for the family for several days.” When they get this deer it’s just like a farmer getting crops from the soil. A farmer gets crops from the soil, and when he sees his crops he’s happy and feels at ease. “For now there’s something to eat; we don’t need to fear going hungry.” The family won’t be hungry with crops to eat. His heart is at ease and he feels satisfied. And a hunter also feels at ease and satisfied when looking at what he’s caught because he doesn’t have to worry about food anymore. There’s something to eat for the next meal, there’s no need to go hungry. This is someone who hunts for a living. What kind of environments do people who subsist on hunting usually live in? They live in the mountain forests. For the most part they do not farm or plant crops; they live in the mountain forests. Is there arable land in the mountain forests? It’s not easy to find arable land, so they survive on various living things, various types of prey. This is the first lifestyle that’s different from regular people.




The second type is a herding lifestyle. Those who herd for a living don’t farm, so what do they do? Just herd? If anyone here is ethnically Mongolian, you can talk a bit about your nomadic lifestyle. (For the most part, we herd cattle and sheep for a living, no farming, and in the winter we slaughter and eat our livestock. Our main food is made up of beef and mutton, we drink milk tea, eat parched rice, and very few vegetables. Now all types of transportation are convenient and we have all sorts of vegetables and grains. Mongolians drink milk tea, and Tibetans drink butter tea. Although herders are busy all four seasons, they eat well. They do not lack milk, dairy products, or meat. They used to live in yurts but now they all build houses.) Mongolians primarily eat beef and mutton, drink milk, and ride horses to herd their animals. This is the herder lifestyle. The herder lifestyle isn’t bad—they ride bulls and horses in the field with the wind in their hair, the sun on their faces, and they don’t have the stress of modern lives. All day they just see the broad expanses of blue skies and grassy plains. People who tend herds for a living all live on grasslands and they are able to continue their nomadic lifestyles for generation after generation. Although life on the grasslands is a little lonely, it’s also a very happy life. It’s not a bad lifestyle!




The third type is a fishing lifestyle. There is a small portion of humans that live by the ocean or on small islands. They are surrounded by water, facing the ocean. This type of people fish for a living. What do these people who fish for a living rely on for food? What is the source of their food? It’s all types of fish and seafood. When Hong Kong was just a little fishing village, the people who lived there would fish for a living. They didn’t farm—they went fishing every day. Their primary food was various types of fish, meat, and seafood. They would also occasionally trade some fish for rice, flour, and daily necessities. People who subsist on fishing all live by the ocean, and some live on boats. This is a different lifestyle of people who live by the water. Those who live by the water rely on fishing; it is the source of their livelihood as well as their source of food.




Aside from those who farm for a living, there are primarily the three different lifestyles mentioned above. Aside from those who subsist on herding, fishing, and hunting, the majority of people farm for a living. And what do people who farm for a living need? They need soil. Those who rely on farming for their livelihood primarily grow crops for generations. They get their food from the earth. Whether they plant vegetables, fruits or grains, they all get their daily necessities from the earth.
What are the basic conditions for these different human lifestyles? Don’t they require basic maintenance of their environments for survival? That is to say, if hunters were to lose the mountain forests or the birds and the beasts, they would no longer have their livelihood. So if people who subsist on hunting lost the mountain forests and no longer had the birds and the beasts, they would no longer have a source for their livelihood. In which direction would that kind of ethnicity head; where would that kind of people go? The ability to survive or not is an unknown quantity and they could just disappear. And those who herd for their livelihood—they rely on the grasslands. What they truly depend on is not their livestock, but it is the environment in which their livestock survive—the grasslands. If there were no grasslands, where would they graze their livestock? What would the cattle and sheep eat? Without the livestock, what livelihood would the nomadic peoples have? They wouldn’t have one. Without a source for their livelihood, where would a people go? Ongoing survival would become very difficult; they wouldn’t have a future. With no water sources, rivers and lakes would dry up. Would all those fish that rely on water for their lives still exist? Those fish would not exist. Would those people who rely on the water and the fish for their livelihood continue to survive? If they didn’t have food, if they didn’t have the source of their livelihoods, those peoples would not be able to continue to survive. As soon as there is a problem with their livelihoods or their survival, those races would no longer continue. They wouldn’t be able to survive—they could disappear, be obliterated from the earth. And if those who farm for their livelihood lost their soil, what would the outcome be? They wouldn’t be able to plant things, they wouldn’t be able to get their food from various plants. What would the outcome be? Without food, wouldn’t people starve to death? If people starved to death, wouldn’t that type of human be wiped out? So this is God’s purpose in maintaining various ecological environments. He only has one purpose in maintaining various environments and ecosystems, maintaining the different living beings within each environment—it is to nurture all kinds of people, to nurture people with lives in different geographical environments.

Human Rights Are the Fundamental Rights that Everyone Is Entitled to Enjoy, Which Represents Dignity

Human Rights Are the Fundamental Rights that Everyone Is Entitled to Enjoy, Which Represents Dignity

Human Rights Without Borders
July 18th, 2017
Domestic and Foreign News  CommentThe news about the death of Liu Xiaobo, a Chinese human rights campaigner and a star of democratization, has set off a wave of mourning over the whole world. On July 13, Liu died at 61. As a Chinese human rights campaigner and also a Nobel Peace laureate, he spent all his life for human rights.
Liu was born in December 1955, Changchun City, Jilin Province and he became a lawyer after graduating from Jilin University and Beijing Normal University. After that, he worked in America and other places. When Tiananmen protests occurred on June 4th, 1989, he returned back to China, led and pushed the democracy movement. The Tiananmen protests, which was called “Bloody Sunday,” was a democracy demonstration, from which there appeared many thinkers. After that, human rights in China became an international subject of contention.
When Liu launched the signature drives with the aim of reforming the single-party regime of the CCP and improving human rights, he was sentenced to eleven years and imprisoned on the charge of overthrowing the government. In 2010, though he was selected as a Nobel Peace laureate, the Chinese government didn’t allow him to attend the award ceremony on the excuse of interfering in the internal affairs. Recently, Liu Xiaobo was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer and then was released on parole. He wanted to have therapies overseas and also the international community invited him to go abroad to receive medical care, but the Chinese government didn’t permit him to do so. Moreover, after he died, the Chinese government cremated his body and lowered his ashes into the sea for fear that his tombstones would become sacred site of human rights campaign. To this end, the Chinese government’s suppression of human rights was brought the forefront of discussion again. As international community remember his dead, the voice of accusing such inhuman act is expected to get higher in the future.
Since 1990, the U.S. Department of State submits reports on all countries every year, in which American government identifies many countries’ suppression of human rights such as Myanmar, Iran, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Belarus, Eritrea, with China and North Korea as the representative. Until 2016, the United Nations General Assembly has been receiving proposals on human rights from North Koreans for twelve years.
Recently, the human rights concerns of North Korea shocked the whole world. The death of Otto F. Warmbier, a college student in America, made American citizens feel angry. This world also sank into sadness. Less than a week after he was sent back to his country, this young man who had a lot of dreams and was once very healthy died. This makes us can’t help wondering that during he served his sentence of 15 years of hard labor for subversion, he was likely to suffer abuse. Until now, there are still three American and several foreigners who were detained in North Korea. And Jin Zhengxu, Jin Guoqi, Cui Chunji and other three missionaries from South Korea were detained too.
The cruel fact that those women who escaped from North Korea were arrested in China and suffered great agony are exposed bit by bit. They suffered illegal imprisonment, human trafficking and were forced to be send back to North Korea where they would be in suffering. On Marth 17th, there held a seminar in New York with the theme of Women Refugees Escaping From North Korea Fall Into a Plight and Suffered Human Trafficking. Many women escaping from North Korea attended this meeting. They clearly testified that they suffered human rights abuse like being jailed and forced into sexual slavery in China. Moreover, they also faced sufferings and atrocities after they were forced to send back to North Korea by Chinese government. After that seminar, the organizer, the American human rights group, and the members of North Korean Free Association addressed President Xi Jinping a petition, requiring him to stop sending back North Korean defectors forcibly.
During the course, human rights concerns of China and North Korea were blamed all the time. In China, which stubbornly clings to socialism, religious faith was limited. Especially, Falun Gong was seriously limited and suppressed. On June 13th, the American House of Commons approved the 343 human rights case. This case asked the Chinese government to must halt the heinous acts like forceful organ extraction toward the practitioners of Falun Gong in China.
The Church of Almighty God in China has been the object of religion persecution since 1992. On May 28, 2014, as the May 28 McDonald’s Murder Case was reported done by the believers of the Church of Almighty God, the suppression on the Church enters the superheating stage. The Chinese government immediately developed the centralized control strategy named “Hundred Days Battle” to crack down on the Church of Almighty God. Alone according to the news report, at least 1,858 believers were arrested subsequently. In the following two years, the arrested Christians amounted to over 380,000.
According to the records of the suspects in court, they were not members of the Church of Almighty God at all, and never had they contacted with the Church of Almighty God. However, started with this case, the Chinese authorities strengthened their suppression against the Church of Almighty God, causing more and more believers to seek asylum overseas. Some of them applied for refugee status in South Korea. The believers of the Church of Almighty God have been scattered in many countries, such as South Korea, America, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other areas.
The Chinese authorities regarded Falun Gong and the Church of Almighty God as cult. House churches and the Three-Self Church controlled by the government are no exception. There were 2000 churches being demolished their crosses in Zhejiang Province.
Human rights are the fundamental rights that all humans are entitled to enjoy, and something people were born with. They should be given naturally, and endowed by heaven. The United Nation issued the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. It stipulated that human rights are universal rights to all human beings, and emphasized that human dignity should be the foundation of one’s life for the sake of freedom, equality and justice in the world.

In all part of the globe, such as North Korea and China, human rights are violated recklessly. In fact, human rights should be protected because they are the basic rights to life, by which we can live like a real man. The right to freedom of belief also should be protected. Human rights could not be constrained because of the classification of countries and nations.  When the global world unifies the idea of human rights, human rights will come true. Human rights are beyond frontiers.
