"South Korea has some of the largest Christian churches in the world. They send missionaries to every nation including our own. They are, by all appearances, a great Christian nation, but their Christianity is a lie.
The most basic Christian impulse is to care for one's neighbor and to love one's brothers and sisters. South Korea is absolutely paranoid about a sudden influx of North Koreans into their society. They are not willing to threaten the comfort and wealth they have developed for the sake of desperately poor cousins to the north. This is NOT a Christian response. It is selfish and profoundly immoral.
South Koreans will lose their precious comforts because they are not willing to share them. Greed is their byword and poverty will be their reward. They will reap the whirlwind of their failure to be genuine Christians."

I agree that the South is too focused on their toys above their national sense of security. Are you saying the Sunshine policy of the South in actively engaging with the North on building a real economy is a failure? If so, your right. Appeasement has never worked and it never will. The South will be attacked and won't be able to stop the North when they do. You should check out Ray Alguira's site www.prophecy.org and type in 'North Korea' in the search tool on the site.

Thank you. You are the first poster to acknowledge that the politics of status quo and appeasement applied by the South are a fools errand.
I could not find the search function on Alguira's site.
The real crisis in South Korea is the same as for many here in the US and throughout Europe. South Korea does not want to get its hands dirty with the horrors of the North and prefers to try to isolate themselves from that terror.
There are some efforts at improving the economy of the North. Much of this merely maintains the trappings of power by the elite and does not reach the masses of starving, oppressed citizens.
The simple, awful truth is that there is no effort on the part of the North Korean government to develop solutions to the grinding poverty and misery of the great mass of its people.Overcoming this humanitarian tragedy cannot be done in the context of working with the North Korean government since it is utterly corrupt. That dynasty must be ended.
There are many ways to achieve this. My concern is for the Christians of South Korea. They are uniquely situated to provide a powerful witness, sufficient, I believe, to topple that regime. All efforts, however, seem to be in the direction of keeping those dirty, ignorant northern citizens in their place. There are horrid racist overtones to this policy that deserve the harshest condemnation.
This is why I have chosen to couch my concern in terms of the failure of a massive Christian movement's utter failure to apply basic Christian teachings to their evangelical efforts in the North. Certainly, there must be a few who understand this and are working to achieve a genuine Christian witness in the North. Those efforts are paltry and inconsequential to date. We can only pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal a great and powerful witness sufficient to overcome the terror in which so many millions of North Koreans live.
If this sounds all too general and obtuse it is because I am not on the ground in South Korea - a fact that I have been reminded of frequently on this thread. I am not in a position to reccommend forms of witness.
Some churches have been built in the North by South Korean Christians. They need to be pastored by men and women of missionary zeal. I have met some of those missionaries, especially in Haiti and I am deeply moved by their willingness to share in the lives of those to whom they witness.
There is a legitimate and vital Christian witness to oppressed people especially in countries where the slaughter of innocents is a daily occurance. The Christian community cannot be reminded of this often enough, especially by those who witness to their faith by sacrificing their lives in His service.
