Did Native Americans have access to the Bible? | |
TheSuperMarket User ID: 801546 United States 02/22/2013 01:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Your kidding, right? The Native American children were stolen from their tribes and sent to CATHOLIC schools, their hair was cut, their were forbidden to talk their language, basically, there were painted to be WHITE. There is much history on this and all Native Americans I know are CATHOLIC from these very events. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34906012 I don't know anything about the CATHOLIC religion, besides the Pope is some kind of God and they worship Mother Mary, rather than Jesus. Find the movie Into The West (I think that is it), gives a very detailed account of this. Nope, maybe it was Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee that more keenly portrays these events. Yes, I think it is the Bury My Heart movie, but Into The West which is like a 6 CD movie series might also portray some of what happened to the natives, the ones that weren't killed, that is. Please catch up on some of the history of this country, TY! And if not.. Why not? We're they not important enough to be taught the ways of Jesus? I mean, if we're all God's children..wouldn't everyone have known about Him? Quoting: MrsCrickets And would Christians of early American days have condemned them to Hell because they did not accept Christ as their savior, even though they knew nothing of him? Please forgive my ignorance.. I'm just looking for answers It is ironic, so called Christians saying "Hey, they aren't Christians, they worship MOTHER MARY, instead of Jesus!" If you worship Jesus the person, OR mother mary, you BOTH miss the entire point. Jesus was just the vehicle by which Christ Consciousness descended. The human vehicle is capable of receiving Christ Consciousness, ALL of us. Jesus was not special. Not special in the way that he was an ordinary man, who had the consciousness of Christ descend into him. ALL men are capable of that. Jesus TAUGHT that he was NOT to be worshipped. There is nothing Jesus attained that wasn't meant for ALL of us. That is CLEAR in the original message he gave. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18850150 " I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel. " Jesus Christ Matthew 15:24 The GOD of ISRAEL... not the God of every Tom, Dick or Harry. . This is such an important statement! Most do not comprehend it. Christ and his apostles did preach/teach only the Jews. Christ told Paul that after He was resurrected that Paul was to begin teaching the gospel to the Gentiles. The fact that Christ, after his resurrection came to the Americas and taught (well, essentially re-established, for they had it before but had fallen) the laminite/nephite peoples is an essential point in understanding that the native American peoples are indeed a remnant of the house of Israel. |
Atossa User ID: 18850150 United States 02/22/2013 01:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | . " I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel. " Jesus Christ Matthew 15:24 The GOD of ISRAEL... not the God of every Tom, Dick or Harry. . From Genesis to Revelation the Bible is about God's relationship with one people, Israel. Jesus said He was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel. Who and where are those "lost sheep" ? They are the vast majority of Israelites who were scattered into Europe and Asia since the 8th century BC... scattered first by Assyria, then by Babylon. Only a small fraction of Israelites returned to Palestine after the Babylonian captivity. Those who call themselves "jews" today are not Israelites. They are Edomites who lost a war with Israel and were forced to "convert" in the 2nd century BC [forced "conversion" is evil and it created an abomination, Edomite-jews.] The vast majority of Israelites converted to Christianity just as Jesus said they would: "My sheep hear My voice... and they follow Me. " . " James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings. " James 1:1 Jesus sent His disciples to seek that which was lost... God's sheep, Israel [in the Bible, "sheep" is a symbol for Israel] the vast majority of whom were scattered into Europe and Asia since the 8th century BC... since the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. And Jesus' disciples did exactly that. St Andrew went East, to the Rus and Slavs and first converted those Israelites to Christianity. . |

No, not wasting their time. The children of Israel are the lineage that Christ came from. They were given the gospel and truth first. They fell greatly because of iniquity and then the gospel and truth were sent out to the gentiles. We are all children of God. |

And I genuinely want to hear someone tell me why, if Jesus is the only way, did Native Americans not know about him... Does that make sense? you are on the right path. not just native americans. think about all of the people worldwide who never even heard of jesus until generations later. There is no flaw in the Bible. Jesus is the only way. Prayerfully read Romans chapter 1; it explains that no one dies without a chance to know God. There was an age of conscience; in the Old Testament the age of Law and sacrifices is described. The New Testament clearly shows us that Jesus fulfilled all the laws and died to cover our sins. He made The Way to cover our sins. Verses 18-21 addresses the question of the "heathen" or the people before Christ who never had access to the Scriptures and to the knowledge of the Cross of Christ. They knew by instinct; God has put His knowledge in their hearts. Men knew God from the beginning. There is enough knowledge in conscience and in nature to induce an awe and reverence for the Creator. Now that the knowledge of the Cross has permeated the earth, no one has an excuse to be ignorant of the Cross, either. God judges men by the light they have received. Anyone anywhere who has not received the knowledge of His salvation in our present age has no excuse. Those in the age of conscience and nature saw His revelation and no one has an excuse! |

And I genuinely want to hear someone tell me why, if Jesus is the only way, did Native Americans not know about him... Does that make sense? I know at least one religion believes that they knew historically, but that history was lost to them as their society deteriorated from sinful choices. That same religion also believes that if you don't know in this life, that in the afterlife you will have the chance to learn of Christ and accept him there. That goes for all peoples, nations, kindreds and in all tongues. Because salvation is for everyone and God is a fair and just God and that in order for him to be God he must follow the rules. The rules state you must accept him to be saved but I have never seen or heard any rule (other than opinion of self righteous christians) that says it has to be in this physical life. (and those same christians say it must be their way or else it doesn't count) You will find that sometimes parts of the bible almost seem to contradict itself. It's a simple situation of a equals b but b does not equal a. For example. My mother is a good person. A good person is not always my Mother, they can be anybody. There is so much truth, you just need to separate the religion from the relationship. Good Luck. |
