Oh yeah, India is such a rich country it does not need charity.
It is funny how clear you have made it this is nothing about terrorism, but your hatred of Christianity. My intial assessment was correct.
So there are no converts to your religion?
These are not foreign missionaries, although I would not put it past them to be scamming outside groups for money.
Probably. Which is beside the point that most foreign missionaries in India also "scam" for money outside India. By necessity their number one priority must be scamming, because, as you have pompously pointed out: India is a poor country. This "charity" is false and fraudulent, causes nothing but division where there once was not, hence the anti-conversion laws. Christian charity of this nature does justify Jesus saying that both the blind and those led by the blind will fall into the ditch. (Looks like Jesus was right)
Very true. We have Jesus in our sights, and we try to walk in His Way, but sin is in our genetic material since Adam's Fall, and we do stumble from time to time. But at least we have HIS Word as our Guide (a lamp and light before our feet), and more importantly - we have HIM as our Saviour. Thank God for HIS Grace and Mercy.
And in anycase we got the Word form God millenia before the birth of Christ from a different Messiah.
Adam had God's Word from the very beginning. Adam talked with God in the Garden. Strains of the Truth are evident in all the mythologies (even 'Hinduism' shows some hints of a knowledge of the Tri-Une nature of God with their version of the Trinity in Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva), but they have various twists that I can only attribute to satan (or man's inherent sinful nature). Truth is found only in the Bible.
We dont need the words of a mortal Missionary who got it all wrong.
No one is going to argue someone into Heaven. Like I said, I can only offer some words of Truth -- and hopefully God will soften your heart at some point in the future.
God Bless, and be well.
The NLFT was aligned with Christianity. They had a split between the secular and Christians in portions 2001, which is probably why there are few news stories about them since.
Which is beside the point that most foreign missionaries in India also "scam" for money outside India.
Whether people are being scamed is not the point. The point is Gengis Khan accuses foreign missionaries of raping and killing and forced conversions without any shred of proof, just some inuendo that the NFLT are foreign missionaries. Everything I read about NFLT indicate they are local tribes people who had connections with the Indian Baptist Church at one time. Gengis Khan has also accused foreigner Churches of supporting the NFLT, again without one shred of evidence. Banning the foreign churches from doing charity work in India has NOTHING to do with the NFLT, but just a bunch of bigotry against Christianity. And you seem to be falling in that category.
Good to see, however, that so many here are so concerned about the lower castes.
They feel their pain, that is clear.
A mile wide and an inch deep.
John Dayal of the AICC feels Dalit pain as well. (And he resembles Alinsky, too.)
