do you think god wants people to accept and like 'diversity'

because that's the way he wants it to be, what he wants the world to be, for society to be a diverse multicultural melting pot? no borders or sovereign countries?

because even though i'm christian and want to follow god with all my heart, i have never liked 'diversity' and to be surrounded by a swarm of people from different cultures and backgrounds all putting their 'oar' in and putting their ideas in the mix, very different to my own.....i just have never liked this idea of a society and being in this modern multicultural 'diverse' britain now, not only do i not like it, but it makes me feel unsettled and uncomfortable.....i don't want to be in a diverse melting pot society....i would rather live in a mainly caucasian or white society with people who are christian, protestant or catholic, with people who are similar to me....that is where i feel at ease and most comfortable.


is this so wrong, evil or against god or Jesus's wishes? because i don't want to be out of favour with god.....but just want to live where i feel most at ease and the most comfortable.

I do think God wants humans to accept Diversity simply because he created the Earth with all its wonders then placed Many many different races and cultures to enjoy its existence.

Look at it this way , when he considered blessing us with the beauty of Flowers , had he just placed a single option of Yellow Daffodils 🌼 on the table and nothing else. We would miss out on so many other varieties.

This is why diversity matters each flower should be appreciated and celebrated.
Feeling isolated within your community & overwhelmed by people who don’t look like you can be a real concern.

After all there’s offten a feeling of safety in numbers. It’s a primitive instinct. Which serves little purpose within a modern society where to get along with our neighbour enriches our existence more so than locking ourselves away.

Perhaps the most important thing the UK govt wrong is not establishing planned integrations making sure there was a proper balance iof mixed cultures within our diverse societies. Equality as important potential language barriers should have been eliminated as well as several other issues.

However no one should be undervalued simply because they look different. Whenever we bleed , our blood is universally the same colour and that’s Gods final endorsement on the matter.

If you do not want to displease God, pray always, for guidance, and to live your life in a way that is pleasing to Him. He is a just and merciful God, and He loves ALL of his children.

In the New Testament, Jesus, the son of Man, and sometimes known as the son of God, was a native of Israel and a Jew. In THOSE days, the Jewish people didn't LIKE or accept Gentiles...(which would have included YOU if you had been alive at that time).

And yet Jesus sent His apostles and disciples out far and wide, to preach to ALL the surrounding nations, and offered salvation EVEN TO THE GENTILES.

JESUS was inclusive in His love, and in offering ALL people a chance to find salvation and eternal life...and we can only STRIVE to be as much like HIM as we possibly can be.

That doesn't mean that you will be instantly comfortable with other cultures and with diversity...but it does give you a goal toward which you may work.

I find out British people can't accept other people are different from them. British love uniform society and I feel they are the most boring people in the world.

Jesus is very interesting person. He loves all nations, races and skin colours. Jesus can speak all languages in the world. We can pray with different mother languages and God understands us. I can speak 5 languages and I pray in 2 languages Holy spirits has always understand me.

Understandable! Multiculturalism doesn’t work. I have over the yrs become more accepting, but I still prefer my friends to have similar experiences.

Country's are designed to be "To Their Own," culturally and historically enriched with their values. The world has become smaller due to transportation expansion especially air travel. Those countries that choose to allow immigrants to come in and become citizens, it is with some understanding that the Newly immigrated citizens will be assimilating into the country's values, laws and culture.

That's not what is happening in Europe, USA and Canada.

Exactly: assimilation, but that ain’t happening for the most part. @Iwillwait
