The Bible instructs Christians to "go into all the world and preach the Gospel; maybe they're trying to save Islamic souls. If they don't get their heads sawed off first...
"If they don't get their heads sawed off first...."
Jim Elliot, Ed McCully, Pete Fleming, Nate Saint, and Roger Youderian:
These men chose to go though they knew they might get their heads sawed off.
But they chose to go.
"If they don't get their heads sawed off first...." is a dishonor to these and so many others who went--but did not come back.
You are making an assumption about the PCUSA. Got any evidence.
In the last few years, evangelical pastors have been ousted under pressure at at least 3 of the largest and more conservative PCUSA churches. In addition, they tried to revoke the ordination of the moderate pastor who edits the Layman.
