This is very much a "Yes and No" question.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 4:37 pm One thing I disagree with:
"The United Nations is largely toothless. It has no real power to control countries."
They exercise their power subtlety, not overtly. They use NGOs (Like Our Church!) to implement POLICY on the local levels in the cultural institutions like Education, Media, Religion, Business, Health, Ecology, etc.
Politics is downstream from culture.

Firstly, many countries do ignore the UN on certain things. The USA, Russia, Israel and China all have for decades. The chamber itself is a talking shop.
Secondly, as you rightly say, the UN exerts power via its own bodies: UNESCO, WHO, UNICEF and UNHCR etc. UNESCO spearheads cultural initiatives. The WHO is probably the most powerful right now (no need to expand). UNICEF deals with disasters, famines etc and snaffles up money. UNHCR (one of the Light the World charities) decides most of who's going to move into your country and how many. However there are non-UN globalist NGOs which exert much more influence – NATO and Five Eyes being two examples.
Thirdly, the UN is really the storefront. There is real discussion in groups which are not open to free press coverage, and ones that no one has heard of. The fact these are so underhand and corrupt should raise concerns way before we get into specifics.
I'm not exactly a fan, but the UN does at least operate through treaties and is fairly above board in some respects.. it's the underhand aspects in other organisations which concern me more. You know when the same laws start popping up in multiple countries without any paper trail... you know like why western schools are all of a sudden teaching six or seven year old schoolboys to chop off their willies and so on and how that could be seen as being of any educational benefit.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 5:10 pmNiemand wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 4:53 pmThis is very much a "Yes and No" question.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 4:37 pm One thing I disagree with:

You're right. My fear is that once they see an opportunity to grow teeth, they will... and the subtlety will go away... all they need is the right "crisis".

The church employing the term "global citizen" is in accordance with its Agenda 2030 compliance. It is not explained to us, but duly noted by the UN. Pushing the vaxx and talking about racism, sexism, and climate change are also done in fulfillment of covenant obligations to the UN Sustainable Development program. Gotta check all the boxes every year.The concept of global citizenship is embedded in the Sustainable Development Goals though SDG 4: Insuring Inclusive and Quality Education for All and Promote Life Long Learning, which includes global citizenship as one of its targets. By 2030, the international community has agreed to ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including global citizenship.
Yup. I like what Ben McClintock said: Be the worst global citizen you can be.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 9:41 pm "We're a global church, but we shouldn't be globalists. We're a global church, but we shouldn't be 'Good Global Citizens'. We should be children of God, first and foremost. Citizens of HIS Kingdom. Not citizens of the state, not subjects of Caesar, we're here to do what God has told us to do." -Connor Boyack
The United Nations certainly influenced conduct of the Korean War to the disadvantage of U.S. forces operations in Korea. And U.S. President Truman let them get away with that, with cooperation from the U.S. State Department. That told me a lot. During the Korean War I was close enough to the draft age to be concerned about certain events that indicated the American forces and their allies were being forced to relinquish certain advantages to the enemy.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 4:37 pm One thing I disagree with:
