Liberalism, according to James Burnham, is that ideology whose function is to reconcile Western man to the death of his civilization.
Notice that there appears to be no concern that these people have never heard of Jesus Christ, and are unbaptized. The proposition that the Gospel is for every human being to hear is the heart of Western civilization. This is not to approve of the way the European empires “encountered” the people of the New World. The view that it is better for all concerned for these people to live in the Stone Age FOREVER is Liberalism.
I disagree....God will determine their fate, not you or I..........
There was a movie out this past couple of years that dealt with this same dilemma. A missionary "encroached" on one of these ancient tribes and ultimately was killed by them.
The movie dealt with the sacrifice of the missionary and his ultimate demise without giving the same analysis of the tribe that ultimately rejected him.
In other words, hooray for the missionary but so sad he died in the end. And oh yea, the heathens were at fault........
