Prayers this Lord's day for the missionaries, the dalits and their persecutors.

we need to ban all religions except Christianity and see how they and the Muzzies like it

[vimto]

Mmmm.... I know where you are coming from .... but these are Hindu's.

Hindu's seem to have the potential to be violent against other religions in their own territories, In the UK they are gernerally fine people. What I mean is that this is localized and nothing like a Jihad,

Never the less it's seriously rough on those caught up in it,

Nuns have been raped and several priests have been murdered in the past seven years. Last year 11 members of a Hindu mob that burnt an Australian missionary and his two young sons to death as they slept had their convictions overturned.

God bless these brave, courageous, noble warriors of Christ. Let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace.

Amen!

Mark 16 v 15,16:

And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

Pray for these servants of Christ who are obeying God and shining the light of Christ to those who are living in darkness.

These missionaries may be the only chance some in India get to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. May God keep His hand of protection on them, and whatever happens, may His will be done.

Yup, don't turn your back on your culture that treats you like a 16th class citizen. You were born low caste, because of what you did in a previous life. You're stuck there and we'll throw you in prison, if you don't like it.

I also find the mention of South Korean missionaries interesting. Christianity isn't going to be Eurocentric anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Pope is African or Asian.

[ARridgerunner]

Okay.

I'll keep pulling for the "Hindu Fundamentalists" and the BJP.

[statered]

I would imagine most of the S Korean missionaries are protestant.

[wesley_windam-price]

This just shows that the self-proclaimed "largest
democracy in the world" is a sham.

[ASOC]

Tip over the local applecart and expect to get pinched.

What these folks are doing is no less than trying to change a system that has been embedded in / is the local society for many generations.

When you try to change the local power system, expect to get hurt. Badly.

I am fully in favour of the anti-conversion laws. The sooner they come the better. We have had enough of this conversion scam.

[Gengis Khan]

Cool off on your hyperbole dude. You dont know jack about India yet.
