The question, if God loves all his children, do you really think he wants us to fight? Or would he rather we all sit down, share our experiences and learn from each other?

I don't know what to do with a statement like this. First of all, we disagree on the definition of who and who is not "God's children". We can't move on from there.

IMHO, all mankind are "God's children" not all mankind are God's heirs.

So what do you define as God's children is it a large or a small group?

When I was teaching in Taiwan as a missionary, I used a saying from the Analects of Confucius to teach this concept. I'll try to translate it on the fly... All within the four seas are we not all brothers? (They only knew of four oceans or seas back when this was coined, and the one sentence references a famous discussion that explores the oneness of all mankind as brothers. I would then follow this up with if we are brothers, does it not follow that we have one father who created us? This is God the Father. followed by an introduction of who God is, his only begotten son Jesus Christ, and a brief over view of the plan of salvation God created for men. I was teaching Buddhists many of whom knew nothing of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Please feel free to tell me your definition, and I'll see if I can work with that.
