We are made with Divine Construction

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. Genesis 1: 26 & 31

The homeless, the disabled, gays, lesbians, mentally challenged and many other groups who are marginalized and alienated in society are often perceived by some to be sub-human and therefore vulnerable to “holocaust” and extinction. Power, unmerciful thoughts and dominance begins in the heart and once it takes root, the sin of it clouds perception. Sin allows us to see things not as they are. Instead of viewing all humans made with Divine construction, we view some as sub-human. Here is just a partial list of a dangerous trend in individual and public thinking about the poor, the alienated and the homeless.
