World Science Day for Peace and Development 2024 is on Sunday, November 10, 2024: can we live without peace?

Sunday, November 10, 2024 is World Science Day for Peace and Development 2024. World Peace Day‎ All around the world people are standing up for peace. Join them!

The Way Peace Can Come to Earth

WORLD peace cannot come merely by efforts at disarmament, or by peace treaties, even by stopping cold wars or hot wars. Even proponents of peace are now saying that peace has to have a foundation in community and also in family living. James Laue of the National Peace Academy Campaign says: "Linking [peace] with peacemaking on a community level has allowed us to define what peace is. The continuous development of techniques to resolve conflicts that come up every day, at home or in school, can help bring peace between nations."

This is very hard to do. Writing in To the Point International under the heading "Yes, World Peace Is Everybody's Business," George Mikes observes:

"We have been taught to love our neighbours. An extremely difficult and tiresome thing to do. You can love almost everybody except your neighbour. First of all, everybody's neighbour is a detestable, objectionable and meddlesome fellow-while the man living a few doors further down is likeable, pleasant and courteous. If you live in Chelsea, you will have no quarrels with the population of Turnham Green and you will get on splendidly with people in Crouch End [distant places]. Similarly, the British love the Australians and the New Zealanders-at the other end of the world-but have not always loved the French or the Germans."

So there can be no world peace unless we get along, first, with those closest to us. Is there truly some "technique" that will accomplish this? Not at all. Actually, man is very intelligent, and is especially adept at techniques. He has applied them in every endeavor, including peacemaking. Generally, he has had some success in almost every field-science, politics, commerce, sales and promotions-except peacemaking, which involves the closest human relations. Techniques will not work here. Why not? Because peace, which truly does begin at home, must come from the heart. Peace consists, not in mere tolerance, or in a balance of power, but in genuine love and understanding toward the other person or the other family or community or nation-race, religion or social status notwithstanding.

Can this be accomplished? At the present time, by only a few. But these few, regardless of the world situation, can have peace now. They can promote peace in their own sphere of influence. How?

HOW A PERSON CAN ATTAIN PEACE

First, a person makes peace with God by looking into the Bible for himself and by seeking to determine what *** w79 12/1 pp. 9-10 The Way Peace Can Come to Earth ***

WORLD PEACE

'But how,' someone may ask, 'will such peaceful living on the part of a few bring WORLD peace?' In itself, our individual peace will not do it. But the God of Christians is "the God who gives peace" and Christ Jesus is the "Prince of Peace." (Rom. 16:20; 1 Cor. 14:33; Isa. 9:6) Those who positively do not want peace, who are continual disturbers of the peace, those who cannot be at peace unless they rule, must be removed from the earth. God says he will "bring to ruin those ruining the earth," just as he did once before, at the time of the global flood of Noah's day. (Rev. 11:18; Gen. 6:12, 13) There is a price for peace and that, the Bible says, is that "the wicked is a ransom for the righteous one; and the one dealing treacherously takes the place of the upright ones." (Prov. 21:18) God will destroy all the wicked ones.

The Prince of Peace, God's king of all the earth, will bring an end to national conflicts. Just as God did in protecting his people Israel in ancient times, so he, through his appointed King, will do earth wide, and permanently. The 46th Psalm, recounting God's protection of Jerusalem from enemy nations round about, provides an example of what he will do in behalf of all peaceable ones. It states: "Jehovah of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is a secure height for us. . . . Come, you people, behold the activities of Jehovah, how he has set astonishing events on the earth. He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth. The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces; the wagons [for battle use] he burns in the fire."-Ps. 46:7-9.

With peace and harmony on the earth, works benefiting the earth can be carried out without hindrance, community wealth will not be drained for war purposes and the entire emphasis will be on beneficial projects. The rich produce of the earth will not be wasted. As to the individual, he can develop his talents and abilities and contribute freely to the general welfare of others. Only through a peace established with God can true world peace be brought about and maintained. Such a state of harmony between God and man is described in these words of the 85th Psalm: "As for loving-kindness and trueness, they have met each other; righteousness and peace-they have kissed each other. Trueness itself will sprout out of the very earth, and righteousness itself will look down from the very heavens. Also, Jehovah, for his part, will give what is good, and our own land will give its yield."-Ps. 85:10-12.

If you are a lover of peace, you can enjoy peace with God and with fellow Christians now, and a measure of peace with others, as a foretaste of the complete peace to be enjoyed shortly in God's new order. Peace with God is the first essential, then, to have peace with others of like faith and with all men as far as it depends upon you. God assures the perfect, lasting peace in his due time. It will come soon, after he has brought "to ruin those ruining the earth."-Rev. 11:18.

what is the date of world scientists day?

May i correct you it is World Science Day not Scientists day.

As each year, the World Science Day for peace and development will be celebrated world wide on 10 th nov. 2008.

The city of GENOA of Italy will host this year celebration of the day in the context of the science festival of 2006.

what do you think of sustainable peace and development among war-torned countries?

You cannot even begin to look for peace in the middle east or elsewhere, until you eradicate terrorism! The true Muslims preach peace just as the Christens do, but terrorist never do! So! eradicate the terrorists first! and then peace will be staring you in the face! Am I right or wrong? Have a good day.
