And I wouldn’t disagree with what you’ve written. But does it ever stop us from reaching out - whatever that means in each context? You can never discount the Holy Spirit - not saying that you have - being at work in their lives. Granted, it certainly takes a wise as serpents and harmless as doves approach to reaching out, but you can certainly see the opportunities we have before us. It’s just so complex.
Yes it is complex.....their culture norm itself is not compatible in a ‘free’ country...what does “free’ mean to them?...what does “peace” mean to them? Neither of which carry the same meaning we have of these simple basics of Christianity. So if you don’t understand ‘their’ meaning of those basics how then can you present the Gospel in a meaningful they will understand or in turn you understand them?
There’s a reason that God kept the Middle Eastern People “contained” in their countries, and any time they made attempts to go outside it was always on a war footing of Jihad, which is the Duty of all Muslims, be it Stealth Jihad or otherwise. The root is establishment of Islam World Wide...the “Duty” of all Muslims.
For years Christian Organizations have been presenting the Gospel in those nations, and at risk for their life in doing so... That’s how it’s done...That’s the Holy Spirit at work in the Missionary AND the people he sends them to... That’s why we have Missionaries.. to “GO Out” from the church family with the Gospel Message.
Wouldn’t you think that if these refugees were sincere about their intentions they would not be “hiding” terrorists among themselves? But you see any Muslims do not have critical thinking skills BECAUSE they are programmed to obey...period. And most coming here are not educated in the sense of what we see education....many are those who will be fortunate to have even rudientary work skills...most will have to be taught because even what they do know is so far inferior even when educated.....just ask any Physician, or technition that has to work with them.
We are taking on a huge mistake in bringing them to this country.....and that is the bottom line....as for those who are true Christians ....Middle Easterners knew the risk if conversion....and yes sometimes men and woman do die for their faith .
