"One of those who went to Brazil, India, and other hell-holes of the world seeking out God's elect?"

If the elect were not found, what would it matter?

An excellent question! Had they not been found, would God's selection of them have been thwarted?

And if it could not have been thwarted, why was it so important that they be found?

And if finding them was itself part of God's unthwartable plan, what is so great about the men who went and found these elect, since the finding of them was, after all, unthwartably predestined?




Whew. The circularity is dizzying!

Yeah, no other Christians went to Brazil or India. I guess that explains why Brazil is the country with the largest Catholic population and Christianity in India is primarily associated with a little old Catholic sister who passed away a few years back.

They did what they were commanded to do. If one was found, the Heaven rejoiced.
