Ｃｈｒｉｓｔｉａｎｓ　ａｒｅ　ｎｏｔ　ｓｕｐｐｏｓｅｄ　ｔｏ　ｐｒｅａｃｈ　ｉｎ　Ａｓｉａ：

Acts 16:6 (King James Version)
6Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

You sure? Cause "Asia" back then considered of modern Turkey to the north-east border of Egypt and the Middle East.

Why? Because Judaism, the father of Christianity is practiced among the locals there? Or if "Asia" really means Asia, does Jesus knew Buddha?

for those money-grubbing pastors......................as far as they can get paid big bucks..............they're just treating the whole thing as a business deal...........they sacrifice their time and effort pretending to be Christians and then try to work their way up to being a pastor to get their reward..............which is the monthly collection from mindless and blind followers.............

Roy Fang, are you sure Christians considered modern Turkey to be Asia? During that time, Christians do not see the Middle East as Asia...

If we want to quibble with meaning, let me ask you why should we assume that anything in the Bible is relevant to modern civilisation if its terms are only relevant to people from that time?

That's the issue with the Bible when people follow it literally by cherry picking what they want people to know.

Mind you, some churches other than tithes, offering, donation to charity , they are asking for more. Some of the people attending mega church said so.

And I was wondering how come followers of Christianity seem to became less aggressive in the world today than during the medieval period when some of them clearly still hold the same beliefs as christians and their leaders living back then...just a show for the world and misled people?

To some Christians (especially the fundies), this would be persecution but we know how they think: "It's alright to persecute non-believers but not alright when we got "persecuted."

During the medieval period, people had no concept of karma.

How far would you go to preach the gospel? Pastor Rony's recent furore in the papers started me thinking about this. After all, we have been told to "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matt 28:19

And, him being called up by the ISD would be classified as a persecution.

^"That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. " 2nd Cor 12:10

So, how far would you go to preach the gospel?

Some Christians believe that the more souls they save the more God will be pleased with them. Personally I don't believe in this. God is pleased with the individual when he/she accepts the Finished work of His Son, Jesus Christ. Christians share the gospel because God is a good God & we want to testify His goodness. Unbelievers around you will be curious when they see the inside out transformation in you. The chance in your countenance, your attitude, your spirit. That is when we will invite interested people for church service. You can't force people to attend service if they are uninterested.

to each his/her own lar. some people have no problems accepting this type of teachings. as long as they dun go around saying your religion is satanic and false, and that your idols are made of wood.

You know why the Rony Tan speech created so much ruckus? cos we are really cheesed of christians telling us your religion is false and satanic. what rubbish.

dadeadman1337 SG

In the past they would probably use coercive techniques to "convince", wonder what god would have thought about that

Fantagf SG

VEry well said, I support you. Testimony will speak for itself. I heard of a case a non believer was converted because he or she saw good testimony of christian.

that God was a lousy inventor and a loser..................not to mention serious mental issues..........

came up with angels as helpers and yet Lucifer bit him in the ass...............

came up with humans as pets and then when humans abandoned Him, the sore loser in Him sent the Flood.....hmmm, a most human characteristic...............

displayed a most human characteristic by showing favouritism to Jews time and time again, yet these jews repeatedly lost faith in Him...................poor old man............nothing's going right for him...........

but God's worst idea was the virgin birth of Jesus.............hmmm, where did He find an egg donor.?...............that must have been an utter humiliation for Mary and her future hubby..................a rip-off from George Lucas's virgin birth of Anakin Skywalker...................

**** tell me one thing if you can , if God is the Universe then Lucifer must be the AIDS virus ? why go to all that trouble with the Flood and killing countless of innocent animals................surely he can wipe out all humanity with a snap of his fingers ?

The fact that Jews continue to survive to this day must have frustrate people like you - and your beliefs - because that's God's covenent with Abraham.

As long as Jews remain on earth, Christians can still believe that God exists. You can only disprove it when Jews cease to exist.

They can continue to believe, as men can continue to believe in the lochness monster, but the question is whether it should be believed based on presented evidence.
