That First Inclusive Community

The original inclusive community is documented twenty centuries ago near the Mediterranean Sea.  The barriers between social classes were more severe than they are at present.  People were much more deeply divided by gender, race, social status, national origin.  This was the age when it was socially accepted to feed people to lions for public sport.

‘Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. ‘
Colossians 3:11

‘There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ‘
Galatians 3:28

This inclusivity reaches its climax with billions of people in the next life.

‘After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, ‘
Revelation 7:9
