The Concept Of
Contributed by David Hodgin on Jun 30, 2009 (message contributor)
The concept of “The Six Degrees of Separation” is worth bringing up here. In this concept, people who study such things say that everyone in the world is at most six acquaintances apart from every other person in the world. It is referred to as “The Human Web” and works like this, I know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone who knows that crazy guy who’s president of Iran. This means that what I do that affects someone, who affects someone else and someone else etc. will in no more than 6 steps affect Ahmadinejad. So we are warned, against placing a “Stumbling block” that can trip up the network. Sounds crazy, but just for a moment, imagine what the world could be if every Christian lived the life the Bible calls us to lead.
