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.

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.
