So for them not going and convincing others of their beliefs would be to have no compassion or caring for others according to their religion. In other words, convincing people their religious beliefs are wrong is a requirement of their religion, so it's a catch 22. But its out of compassionate intent. You should also know that mission organizations like SOS provide humanitarian aid also, which is also a tenant of Christianity. They don't discriminate with the humanitarian aid for only those who convert or anything. And the Bible also teaches God loves everyone and that every human life matters, so they also don't hate the people who don't convert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-3262697887626911712016-07-30T10:05:24.849-05:002016-07-30T10:05:24.849-05:00Normal travelers stuff often includes parasites.

I think it's ok to question if someone is sick or why another's focus has shifted to their personal appearance. Some people question what they have done with the donations they collected if they are paid SOS employees and doing bible studies. It's ok to ask questions and I don't think these are hate filled as you say, at all. It might help the family to address some of these questions and understand how people are viewing their actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-71368816391977581352016-07-17T15:41:11.949-05:002016-07-17T15:41:11.949-05:00Anonymous 7:46, Martin Luther was a monk who recog...Anonymous 7:46, Martin Luther was a monk who recognized what the Bible said and became a Bible-believing Christian who absolutely turned the world upside down with his message of Jesus Christ. There are no denominations in heaven, but yes, "Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me." Either you believe Him or you don't. And there are plenty of proofs for the Bible. No one can deny that Jesus was not a true historical figure. Archaeology, history, and yes, even science, cannot disprove the Bible. Actually it's a really fascinating topic if you want to get into it.

Opinions are fine-and needed- but so many of these are hate filled, personal attacks. Reading through here reminds me more of a tabloid comment section then a fan blog. <br />Questioning a persons choices or way of life is one thing and if done respectfully is totally acceptable. Comments about a persons appearance are never okay. These are real people with real feelings. <br />It would be better for no one to have their comments shown, then hurt somebody who reads one persons ugly comment.

All of the other people who have claimed to be God or a path to Him are dead. We, as people, are not authorized to judge others but the Bible is our plumbline for which we adhere Gods standards. Most other religions teach "salvation" via good works or religious rituals. God says that our good works are as filthy rags to Him, not good enough. Jesus is our sacrificial Lamb who provided the way to a holy God. True Salvation is a free gift from a Holy God not "earned" by good deeds. Will you consider accepting His free gift? Jesus is for all who will believe.
