Quoting: Zaphnath Paaneah Please re-read your Bible. Matthew 28:19-20 [link to www.usccb.org] --- Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. --- Last Edited by Skeptic the First on 06/18/2014 07:04 AM |

Regardless, I think we can agree that Jesus did not say to convert, build orphanages, build churches, bring people to church, impose Biblical standards upon society, or to even change the world.

| Zaphnath Paaneah (OP) User ID: 59122128 Philippines06/18/2014 07:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Those Religtards have destroyed countless Tribal Societies.Time to STOP. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58482572 This has been another unfortunate result of Western Missionary influence. The loss of culture and identity of indigenous people. Why Western missionaries believe that people must end their ties to their culture in order to believe in a "Their" version of Jesus is beyond me. Jesus crosses all cultural lines and can fit into any people group. Sending rich, Western Christians, from first world countries like the US into to these communities to spread first world Western values is wrong and this is what is destroying many cultures around the world. The church today has been warped into a hybrid of Jesus and the American dream serving only when it is convenient and going into other countries and telling people how they should be living when what they should be doing is sticking to the Gospel. The result of straying from this is cultural destruction, predation and alienation of people from other members of their tribe or group.

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned ". Jesus did not say, go into the world and try to convert! Nor does the Great Commission say to build orphanages, build churches, bring people to church, impose Biblical standards upon society, or to even change the world for Christ. Yet this is what 90% of the Western missionaries are doing today. Why? Quoting: Zaphnath Paaneah [link to www.change.org (secure)] Romans 15:20 -- It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation. Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.” -- Is it possible that the Western Church is sending people who are "Building on someone else's foundation" and hindering rather than helping the cause of Jesus? You must be Joseph. |
