what do christians say about chinese people
 
Don't Christians think its strange that God choose not to spread his word to the entire human population?

does this suggest that Christianity is actually a man made invention and thus only exists in region it was invented?

Also, if a Christian has a Chinese friend, isn't it his duty to this person to do absolutely everything he can, including physical abuse and torture to convince the Chinese guy to save his soul and believe in Jesus?

I've always been stunned at the number of christian asians in the US. It's ridiculous. It's ok for the commies to burn, apparently.

Great post Lebowsky,

At first from the subject I thought it was to be a racist post. But it isn't, or at least you did not intend it to be racist. You were wondering why the isaelis, or the palestinians would be privileged to hear the revelation of god directly. I mean without competing voices or counters spruiking for customers. I mean there were not multiple voices to be heard revealing this or that god wishes.

Yey! Yes, yet, other cultures either got to not hear from it or were invaded by missionaries claiming they had the right version. Now, which one was it, we are not sure, if we are open minded, but it seems unlikely that god voices would not sound out as clearly in latter days than in the early ones!

I can imagine this invasions, of some in incredible garbs some not, each competing for the most outlandish claim, catholics, episcopalians, calvinist, methodists, brtheren of this or that.


Ummm, with a wink to all my asian friends, I think I see where that bemused and inscrutable oriental smile comes from. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I just read God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens, and the author uses this as one of his (many) arguments for this case.

What makes you think that God doesn't want the gospel spread to the entire human population?? Do you have any documentation to support this?

Nobody sees the obvious answer to this question? Chinese people don't have souls, so worrying about whether or not they're saved is moot. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
