There is only one thing I claim that he has done, and the article above describes it.
Take issue with the author of the article - but Palau apparently isn't denying that he gave the vile advice he gave.
and he regrets his remarks
He says he regrets some of his remarks.
What part of what he said do you not understand.
You are the one who is apparently unable to grasp the import of his comments.
He said that Christians should register with the fake "official" churches of China, and then he Clintonesquely said "it's not my role" to suggest that.
Either it is right or it is not right for a Christian to apostatize in favor of the Chinese government policy. His final response indicates that while he used to advocate apostasy, he is now expressing no opinion either way because it is not "his role."
That's indefensible.
You have got to be totally NOT in control of YOUR faculties to think he actually supports christian persecution.
He advocated that Christians apostatize from their faith and join the official Chinese-run churches that actively persecute real Christians. These official state churches infiltrate real congregations and spy on real Christians for the government.
At first he said that Christians should join these persecutors and now he is saying that it's not his role to advise people to persecute Christians or not persecute Christians. He's just washing his hands and walking away.
You have no idea who Mr Palau is and you are making statements that prove it.
Palau is an elderly gentleman from Argentina who is affiliated with the Multnomah school of evangelism. He is a world traveler who preaches everywhere in a Billy Grahamish mold.
Am I missing any salient points?
Just because you have formed a personal attachment to the guy for whatever reason does not put his egregious actions above criticism.
Palau, who has zilch experience with China issues, got royally deceived by his Chicom hosts. It sounds like they took him on a tour of foreigner churches which don't have to bastardize their gospel so long as they don't let Chinese citizens in.
I have not formed any personal attachment to this man, but I am not going to quicly attack him just because he makes a mistake and then owns up to it. Yes, he regrets "some of his remarks." We do not know what other remarks he gave, just the ones this article talks about. Are you going to judge the remarks that we don't know he gave? Would you rather he denied giving vile advice instead of own up to it? He did not see the official churches as fake when he was there. You are judging him for something that he said he regrets doing. Where is the forgiveness?
