CHURCH OF CHRIST IN THE FACE OF GLOBALIZATION


CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF GLOBALIZATION AND PROPOSALS CHRISTIAN LOOKING

A / - original intention, CONTRADICTIONS AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION OF PROJECT

The original mission, declared, globalization, the official name of global Westernization was the emancipation of men and women from oppression, obscurantism and poverty, promotion of the individual against the influence of stereotypes ancient societies, the development of the individual, the establishment of a just, peaceful, fraternal, the foundation of a universal republic - (mission being, in fact, that the continuation of the revolt against draft against God, fomented by Lucifer in Eden, at the instigation of which the ancestors of humanity emerging, Adam and Eve, seduced by its false allegations lethal transgression perpetrated generic, which was to be the cause of a matrix "Catastrophic systemic crisis" with the exacerbation exponential amplification and, throughout the centuries, should lead to "final global crisis" that we know (GENESIS 3:1-6, Matthew 24, Revelation 18)


Already the simple historical terms, the failure registered in advance at the heart of "intent universalist project, due to the debilitating nature of man, should be, by the early expression and later found exacerbated a serious contradiction between the enrichment and well-being of a growing minority of the population and plunder, exclusion, yet fastest growing, the bulk of humanity (John 15:4-5, Romans 7:14-25)

This model, currently breakdown of secular messianism and utopianism humanist, describes a global society, massified, unequal, without otherness or alternative history, a crisis marked by failure, profound, unprecedented, not just functional, transitional, as happened in the past, but structural and permanent.

This dramatic toll, economic, cultural and social globalization is a direct consequence of its expansion matrix. Globalization is in fact a process of Westernization of the world, "generalization of the western mode of financing, production, consumption and institutionalization of power relations for granted.

As such, it is a dialectic of streamlined operations, optimal resources of the world "a sophisticated passing" of the colonial phase, assigning to the countries possessing raw materials, a function determined reserve, including free trade authorizes and formalizes globalized extraction and processing unlimited by the dominant powers, only equipped with the appropriate financial and technical means (JAMES 5:1-6)

This globalization of market relations matrix systematized 's tendentiously increases in an "inflationary spiral rampant. "This is an" excess "(hubris) in business and a deviation from the role of finance which, in simple ways, aim to metamorphose into harmful and detrimental to all the ecosystem and the global human community.

This disordered movement of financial flows and commodity relations, commodification in its path, without distinction, all forms of life and values, even those considered, at all times, as "non-trading, non-trade ' inoculant rivalry, opportunism, competition and violence egocentric or ethnocentric in the workings of the social bond dissociation is a vector of individual, community disintegration and loss of spiritual perspectives, liberation of the conscience (1 Timothy 6:6-12)

This process of technical rationality, economic and financial "powerful factor clouding and standardization of the imagination," poses a threat to community identity, destabilized, in fulfilling their construction of a "sense" alternative, qualitatively higher, spiritual type.

ecclesial culture, defined as a set of symbols and representations of life experience conscientielles, spiritual components of a community fabric facilitator of growth and development of people and projects, experiences in the context of globalization, such a pressure of conformity, there is little choice more than one dictated by the reality imposed - if not by decision spiritual strength, cognitive, behavioral, peaceful, non-conformist (Romans 12:1-2)

The West, motivating techniques and ideologies in a single optical materialist, humanist, by searching unlimited growth and progress, by a "culture of man erected ultimate goal" is, in the same times, contradictory and inevitably a factor in the decline, disorganization and deprivation of life (Mk. 8:36-37)

This "will to power fantasy of control forces of nature, conquest of the unlimited, realization of universal brotherhood anthropocentric "- by nature anti-Christocentric - that designers and developers have felt obliged to deploy and can proudly, represents, in fact, that the" dream babelian "par excellence, that of humanity, living in complete denial over the crisis "Generic transgression" occurred in Eden, obsessively biased by his project of self-redemption by the technical, economic and urbanization (Proverbs 28:13)

This proposed "Tower of Babel World" and although intentionally and adamantly tended towards achieving its' objective of universal brotherhood, of unity of people and language, "reveals, the analysis, a huge defense mechanism of" transgressive identity of the Humanity, through a complex process of sublimation, compensation, amplification, legitimation, justification and institutionalization of the transgression, to galvanizing and taxation thereof, to the level of civilization "to admit the entire human community" (Genesis 11:1-9, Revelation 18:5)

This serious denial of reality about the nature of man makes this city a global reality, hitherto unprecedented in world history, which mixed confusedly lusts, enrichment, impoverishment, injustice, suffering, frustration and violence. Science and techniques meant to lead to the origin, abundance and peace turn out, ironically and tragically, be for the use of efficient catalysts and triggers outbreaks of deadly conflict and discord chronic (ROMANS 3:10-20, Jeremiah 17.5)

The dream can only become a nightmare, by the desire to achieve "the ideal of fraternity without God," by eliminating failures by increasing pressure Compliance collective refinement of social control of "world citizens", finalizing, and, by forceps, by operation of standardization and mass behavior, the utopian original intent of the founders (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12)


B / - THE STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST FACE OF GLOBALIZATION

The West overcompensates its spiritual bankruptcy by a rise of earthly life, an exaltation of his accomplishments and possessions, as the supreme value, as a "substitute for eternal life" in his tragically absent field of consciousness (COLOSSIANS 3:1-4)

This reduces to a thank you prégnant secular temporality against which he must fight anxiously by a compulsive activity, incessant, repetitive, made up of works and achievements of accumulations of objects, many frustrating "substitutes chimeric "perspective of eternity obliterated (JOHN 8:34)

addition materialism induced by this system, individualism is a source of corruption of the social bond and decomposition of traditional solidarity. It appears initially as a means of liberation constraints and opening up opportunities but reveals, nevertheless, ultimately, destructive of solidarity which are the fibers and weft fabrics community themselves backdrops home lives and personal histories ( JAMES 1:14-15)

Our belief is that communities, based on the Gospel, have all the skills necessary to cope with this crisis harmful, offering an alternative to a world of unstructured life in loss of bearings and complete disarray (LUKE 5:13-16; PETER 2:9-12)

Far from wanting to save the "world system", the text describes revealed in Revelation 18, the incurable and the final collapse, these spiritual communities, custodians of a superior knowledge, have the capacity, through their spiritual heritage - in the activation and updating constant - to offset significantly the devastating effects of this global systemic crisis, for dissemination and sharing of their emblematic values of respect, esteem, consideration and welcome fans of this year - representing a culture of life, in response to archaic programming culture of death (1 Peter 4:1-11)


Christians of this generation, potentially the return of the Lord are invited to a serious awareness of what is meant by their references and belonging to the people and the kingdom of God, to endorse and fully assume their responsibilities as disciples, faced with a suffering humanity, under the influence of pressure "materialistic fetish models, based on a frantic quest for satisfactions egocentric based on performance, productivity, profits and evicting the next (2 Corinthians 13:5, Luke 6:46-49, Matthew 5:44-48, Luke 14:12-14)

These models, authentic "idols of modern times" moreover, powerful generators of discrimination, social exclusion and alienation of worship and cultural, must be listed, reviewed in the light of biblical thought and be-cons of proposed models (LUKE 6:31 -36)

These could include a requirement for every human being, warranty, right of opinion, consideration, host unconditional caring in human society, by its very birth, the right of absolute respect for the integrity of spiritual, physical, intellectual, moral, no waiver or exception to the incompressible right to development, in respective fields, family, education, economy, social and culture (Romans 15 :1-7, Ephesians 4:2,32, 5:21; ROMANS 12:10, JACQUES 5:16, ROMANS 14-13; JACQUES 4:11, GALATIANS 5: 26; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:11)

In consideration of the challenges, risks and issues, posed by the "globalized world system," the spiritual imperative of Christian communities is the preservation of their specific identity values, maintaining their potential to prospective prophetic realities of community catalyst, demonstrating the presence, their breast, Redeemer God with a message of love and power of salvation for humanity to deal with a resigned "machine world" against her, felt as a fatality (2 CORINTHIANS 3:16-18; MATTHEW 5: 13-16, 1 John 5:3-5, 1 Peter 4.10; Galatians 6:2,23)

Directly facing this global systemic crisis, the consequences still poorly evaluated, Christian communities have a historic responsibility to move beyond their conception of "the private sphere of faith," to hear of the Will God in "the public sphere," without confusion of genres, with distinction of identities of the "social body" and "body of Christ," ontologically irreducible to one another.

Thus any denial will be eradicated reality of the situation and expressed the conscience of Christ through his body, the church, in direct, real-time close relationship with people and groups in suffering (Matthew 20:26-28)

In this context, will be made of alternative societal models, integrators, valuing attitudes of support, help and assistance to people in situations of fragility, precariousness and supporting projects tailored to the solidarity economy local contexts.

These tips and educational activities, creative, innovative, assimilable and usable by a non-Christian population, have, moreover, the advantage of being a preparatory step for subsequent conversions, in freedom, belief and conscience of those concerned, without any manipulation or guilt because of emergency previously made (LUKE 3:4-6; JAMES 2:14-17)


Such a design community, solidarity, allows, in addition to immediate relief in situations of increased need to convey a holistic gospel message , taking into account the full needs to be - mind, body, soul - the heart of human society; "direct evidence of a new life alive" in a world of disjointed, disassociated, mortified, stigmatized by culture, individualistic , materialistic, dehumanized and dehumanizing (2 STONE 1.3-8)



C / OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS OF THE CHURCH ETHICS IN PUBLIC MANAGEMENT POLICY MAKERS

Churches traditionally offset by their misconception of a " Christianity folded on his private ", resigned face their "magisterial ethics vis-à-vis a world without God, failing in their responsibility to" thought leadership "of and referral criteria to the world of social justice, according to the logic creational principle and providence of God over the world, pending the conversion of sinners and the advent of the Divine Kingdom (LUKE 10:30-37, MATTHEW 28:18-20)

Leadership opinion of Christians the world, must consist of a masterly demonstration of the superiority of their absolute values revealed, regarding the structuring of individual and collective lives, through their relevant, coherent, convergent and efficient interaction attitudes, compassion, cooperation, interdependence, mutual knowledge, shared responsibility and intersoumission (Luke 4 :16-19, Romans 15:8-13 )

The practical, interactional dynamics of these qualities, by the various communities, indissolubly united, in solidarity networks articulated on the basis of doctrinal principles are clear, compelling, off leaven of human traditions annihilation of God's command, is a prerequisite for reaching the threshold of critical mass, triggering a maximum impact on the Human Environment (John 17:17-23, Ephesians 2:10)

The disciples of this generation, more than ever called upon to make the administration of proof of membership in the Kingdom of God, by fighting, by means of the Gospel, intrinsic power of God, occult domination, alienation from this world - and serving their God, giver of life alone, in Jesus Christ with all their heart, their whole soul and with all their thinking. (Romans 1:16-17, Ephesians 6:10-12, Matthew 22:37-40). Indeed, the kingdom of God is not in word but in demonstration of spirit and power (LUKE 9:11-17, Matthew 6:9-13)

They must, in this intention, raise a prophetic voice collective, powerful, capable of influencing the course of events regional, national, global, that are treated as "priority and urgency, needs, expectations and aspirations of people suffering the most, the poor, oppressed , left-to-account - creatures God called to salvation.

In view of progress towards these vital goals of justice, a plan of care should be established to celebrate, so peaceful, constructive but determined political leaders of various levels of national and international organization and ethical values of evangelical communities regarding the service to provide the people and the expectations of decisions and accountability on the part of policymakers, by:

(Amos 5:14-15, Amos 8:4-7; ZACHARY 7:9-10)
  • the widespread application of international standards relating to respect for the integrity of human rights (fundamental rights of the person, not commodification of life, environmental preservation ...) means significant transition, immunity and impunity to accountability, among programmers and developers the "mechanical world wanton"
  • participation and decision-making, increased and significant for developing countries, the functioning of multilateral institutions that then commit to a practice of transparency of information, effective monitoring and implementation of real resolutions passed by all parties concerned, without exception
  • development and implementation of effective deterrence of speculative predation, destabilizing currencies and productive investment
  • the active support of political stimulation, facilitation of economic and social projects secured integration popular generators guarantee decent income, sufficient for the establishment and growth, dignity, family, the basic unit of society
  • review of relevance and appropriateness of the external debt of some countries, for analysis and reflection, in-depth, case by case to the conditions of legitimacy of its creation
  • a revision of methods of negotiating international trade agreements to an accurate understanding of transactions and their financial impact, marked by a genuine desire to change the unfavorable balance of forces currently in poor countries, parties to such contracts "unconscionable" , according vital needs of their populations, for now impoverished and excluded from a fair sharing
  • taking a percentage on the volume of stock transactions, in order to a constitution of additional funds allocated to development plans of countries suffering the consequences of the application of "devastating economic theories, Darwinian

D / - THE TEACHING OF JESUS ON THE PURPOSE AND THE MISSION OF HIS DISCIPLES RESPONSE TO NEEDS OF LOST

1 - THE SPIRIT OF THE MESSIANIC COMMUNITY

Christians are "artisans heart and mind "called and prepared by the Lord to discover, in the most precarious situations, a new fullness, that Jesus lives and sharing the message of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-10), more expressive encouragement to hope that a board resignation, every promise of the beatitudes for always a Kingdom of God, already present in the coming of Jesus, but still awaiting completion and final consumption, final, in the future (Romans 8:18)

justice preached by Jesus radicalized superabundant requirements of the law by introducing new 'behavioral norms tires "of fraternal relations renewed within the messianic community, the family of God.

Jesus, in fact, urged his followers to imitate the perfection of their heavenly Father, with an exhortation to promote a mutual acceptance and reconciliation unconditional live conjugal fidelity and respect the homes of others, practice the truth in exchange fraternal exercise love friends like enemies, seeking by all means and spiritual paths, consistent with the principles the Kingdom, obtaining a growth and development of a systemic, holistic, individual and collective - spirit, soul and body / persons and communities.

In fact, most of this new pattern of life is rooted in Jesus and the revelation that he communicates "mode of action of the Father" whose strength of achievement alone is capable of enabling the full realization (John 5:17-20, 14:9-13, 15:1-5, Philippians 2:13, Ephesians 4:11-16)

The father is, at once, principle, purpose and motivation of all attitudes, conduct and behavior of Justice, whose level of intimacy subsidiary determines quality.

Justice of the Kingdom, a fundamentally different nature from that of the former regime legalistic, formalistic, inoperative, scribes and Pharisees, the result of a commitment in the spirit of grace, faithful, honest, loyal, sincere - "holistic and fractal - serving God in an indissoluble community of life with him, generating multiple fruits in favor of the brother, the next ... and the world.

This basic temperament of the disciples, the fruit of the gift of eschatological descent, characterized by an exclusive focus of consciousness and being of God and neighbor, is manifested by an unrestricted opening to the radical demands of divine, for the realization of his eternal design of design, training and building to be regenerated on the matrix model of Christ to their definitive incorporation into the eternal family of Father (1 Corinthians 3:4-9, Romans 8:16-23)

2 - SERVICE MISSIONARY

The community of disciples formed by Jesus is ontologically missionary since the mission is defined as involvement and participation of followers initiatives, actions and intentions of the Master.

This community is characterized by the particular importance attributed to the poor, poor, dispossessed, excluded and discriminated against by a Darwinian world of archaic programming, egocentric and ethnocentric.

The current crisis, carries a serious threat of destabilization and inhibition of the synergistic unity of the Christian community and a stagnation of the goals of justice and compassion assigned by his master, requires a serious resolution and renewed determination in his commitment to fulfilling the divine mandate, with a renewed confidence and certainty of God's steadfast presence in her womb and the imminent arrival of his kingdom (Matthew 6:23; 28:16-20)

In any event, for his assistance persevering, caring, flawless, despite the burdens of historical and sociological culture sublimated and institutionalized of sin, for this world, the risen glorified keeps tender, exponentially, to the employment of his own divine value within the meaning of human existence, acting by his disciples in the nations, to promote extension of his divine and resplendent new creation (Romans 8:33-39)

It is now time to take awareness of the importance of particular issues eschatological to demonstrate decisiveness, to endorse and fully assume its responsibilities, to focus on ways of giving, love of brothers, the next and the risk given talents in a categorical commitment and unwavering (Matthew 25:14-40)

Anything is possible because the mandate of universal mission, fulfilling the promise made to Abraham (Genesis 12:3), makes now the power of God available all believers, by faith, in all geographical locations and historical times until the final consummation of the world.



E-COMMITMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GOSPEL OF THE INCARNATION

1 - THE GOSPEL OF THE INCARNATION

The design of the Kingdom that Jesus developed in the Gospels, includes everything in the transcendent, the human condition, with its suffering, needs, expectations and aspirations.

Consider all dimensions of life on earth, with reference and correlation with the fundamental principles of the Kingdom, is an interpretative framework and a potential transformation of reality into harmony with the vision of the Master of a high performance level, for treating, optimally, the real issues, risks and challenges God, located at the intersection of history and hello the first humanity mortified by sin (Matthew 6.33)

Jesus' love for the sinner who equaled by his aversion to sin, agent distress, explains and justifies his relentless denunciation of all forms of corruption and perversion of alienation, depravity of human nature: hypocrisy Pharisees, the rich fool greed, greed of the murderous tenants ... (Matthew 23:1-33)

The mission of the disciples must be configured on the model of Christ, who sent him as the Father has sent communicating a model in his person, for the successful accomplishment of the mandate it has given them until his return (LUKE 4:18-19)

The Church is thus formed by a community of people actually born again, spiritually removed from the influence of the world, and then reinvested in its service, with a nature regenerated, incorruptible, preserved from all danger of assimilation or relapse under the powers of the world, for any syndrome of gender confusion. "

This commitment and involvement are not a" mere social option "but an" imperative duty of the mind "," class in itself irreducible "for ideological themes generated by the historical society.

The Church must banish all approach to the realities of human suffering due to sin, by a Biblical dogmatic formalist, depersonalized, disembodied and promote an approach to these realities through a personalized evangelism, embodied, warm, not altered by a culture of institutional boundaries and cleavages artificial cons-productive - because "the union on doctrinal foundations healthy and authentic fraternal relations will always be the decisive force in the fighting. "

In any event, the Christian community can not indefinitely remain impassive and inert in the face of alienation, pain and suffering generated by the" globalization project of life without God, "leaving the reductionist conception, muddled their faith, primarily focused on the only future hope (vertical dimension of faith: the relationship to God) inhibit, neutralize their social responsibilities present (horizontal dimension of faith: the relationship to the next), relegating the majority of believers than the passive attitudes and principles of relativistic, individualistic, materialistic, from mass culture, by deprivation of benchmarks, membership and 'messianic identity precisely defined, relating to requirements ethical and practical implications of new life - linking the two inseparable dimensions of verticality and horizontality of the faith (Ephesians 4:20-21, Romans 12:1-2, Matthew 5:13-16, 2 Peter 1: 3-11)

Given this pervasive process of globalization, the Church is invited to come out of his dogmatic slumber, to renew his allegiance to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ is to go into whole world to proclaim, individually and communally, the full gospel of salvation by grace, meet all the needs, expectations and aspirations of people: spiritual, physical, intellectual, economic, social, political - the two extreme errors, antithetical, being in this area: the attention and action brought solely on evangelism and spiritual needs being and those almost exclusively focused on economic and social problems of the world (Colossians 3:12, 1 John 3:16-20)

2 - THE EXAMPLE OF JUBILEE

As such, the "jubilee" of the Old Testament provides a relevant conceptual matrix for understanding the problem: Church and globalization.

This word, proceeding from the Hebrew "Yobel" means "goat horn", which was used as a trumpet to proclaim every 50 years, opening a special year for Israel : the Jubilee year in which were to be executed with the requirements of Chapter 25 of Leviticus requiring mainly the acquisition of property and liberation of slaves.

The social configuration of Israel, structured around the membership of a tribe, a family with land and property as a constituent of prosperity, should be regulated so that any property that was sold for various reasons, should be returned to the original owner at the time of the Jubilee, as well Those who had been forced to sell, insolvency, should be released.

These requirements were of an ethical function, regulation and balancing of economic and social system of the people, by preventing the accumulation and concentration excessive, abusive, wealth in the hands of a minority at the expense of fundamental rights to life of a majority of the excluded, stripped, subjected, enslaved, has left behind, without being able to have.

These same requirements - which one is also not certain that they were well practiced in Israel - provided the advantage of reminding people of the irreducible reality of "God's Sovereign Authority Absolute Property and people,
on his people "(Leviticus 25:23,42,55)

God was well known to his people that no one can remain a slave to his neighbor, for all are servants of God alone that all the land is his property and that it is legitimate holder of right to intervene in his creation, to condemn, correct the distortions caused by human sin and encourage them to respect the creational order.

This precedent, Jubilee, by highlighting the irresistible tendency of any individual or group of individuals who hold a monopoly right or power over their neighbors, to abuse and the indispensability of a safety device to guarantee the dignity of every human being - first on the natural .... pending subsequent conversion - allows the Church to better identify and determine the extent of its responsibilities in view of the performance of its spiritual mission to globalization. This model

Jubilee "ideal of global justice" could usefully be considered as a source of reflection on the concepts of sharing and solidarity among nations, regions, communities and individuals, but of course, depending on the specific data in the world today.
