“How is it “ignorant and disgusting” to point out that you are criticizing someone for something you yourself aren’t doing?”
You are terribly ignorant about Christianity. God didn’t make robots who have the same function. The body of Christ consists of people posessing different gifts. Some are good organizers. Some are good fund raisers. Some are front line field people who will dare to venture into enemy territory, funded by fund raisers and organizers. The body of Christ works together to accomplish goals. God respects our differences and lets us shine with our uniwue abilities.
“Many times he has been criticized on this site for being a coward for not addressing muslims but now that he is he is being called a coward for not going their in person. Guess it is impossible to please some people.”
Again, you do not understand the body of Christ. Some of us $upport them financiallyt because we are unable to be there. Our family supports them finanically and defends Christianity - such as what I am doing now and tries to enlighten folks like you. Again, our God created all of us in His image but each of us are different. Even in the secular world you should understand this. Not all will be mathamaticians. Some will be good fund raisers like the Clinton’s. Some will excell in corruption and fraud like ACORN. How you use your unique ability is up to the individual. The same is true in Christianity.
“If you are currently in the Middle East I retract my original statement.”
I can only hope by now you understand the silliness of your statement.
A wonderful organization we zealously support is Compassion Internaional. It is a Bible based charity that financially supports Christians in Muslim countries. We support those in Thailand.

We are partial to children so we support and correspond with them. We also send them gifts. It is most rewarding.
We also support missionaries. I can’t tell you how uplifting it is to do this. So within the body of Christ, we support fellow Christians. Christians are not robots that all do the same thing but the goal is a common one - reach others about Christ and get them on board, by choice.
I will not go further in discussing what we all support and do since that would be prideful and therefore unChristian.
Prayer is a pwerful weapon ALL Christians have at their disposal. He hears all prayers that are directed to Him. That is a weapon the transends money and people. I wish I could tell you how many times the unexplainable has happened - through prayer - no $$$, no “armey” - simply prayer.
Voice of the Martys is another website I will mention. I leave it up to you to look it up and search through it. Even if you don’t I hope you have a more accurate view of Christianity and what roles Christians perform to make a difference in the lives of others. The difficult part is that Christians go about their roles quietly ... otherwise it is considered prideful.
I wonder ... what have you done for others? Anything?
I wasn’t talking about all Christians - I was mainly talking about you - sitting in the US while wishing someone else to risk death.
So, in the future, when I talk to you please do not try to change the message from being about you to being about all Christians.
But you most likely will as you are one of those who defines a Christian as only those who march in lockstep with you for those who do not share your exact beliefs aren’t true Christians.
Rather a sad way to go through life if you ask me.
