Christians seek guidelines for missionary work |
|
source: SignonSanDiego, January 18, 2007
PARIS – Christians are told to make disciples of all nations, but some
missionaries have done this so aggressively in recent years that
churches now want a code of conduct to spread their faith without
antagonising any others. A missionary boom in developing countries,
often by United States evangelical and Pentecostal Protestants, has
brought Christianity into some local conflicts with majority
populations that follow faiths such as Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. |

famous pilgrimage centre in AP. Mantralayam is in Adoni district and is
surrounded by poor villages.It is the holy place where the great saint

Target Hindus: Concocted story explains the methodology and goal of evangelism |
|
A concocted story available on 'Jesus Film Project' website clearly
explains the methodology and objective of evangelism., i.e., the
neo-converts destroying their own temples. This is the strategy St.
Fracis Xavier used in Goa. Unlike Islamic armies which themselves
destroy non-believers' places of worship, Christians use neo-converts
to do the same thereby keeping their hands clean.
The story is concocted because a priest is just a paid employee of a
temple who cannot destroy a temple even if he converts for the goodies
offered. The story available at the following website reads as follows
(produced as it is)

A Hindu Priest Considers Jesus
Last
summer, a group of Americans visited the island nation of Fiji. They
talked with a Hindu priest about the life of Jesus and explained
several biblical concepts to him.
Seeing the benefit of following Jesus, the priest then wanted to make
Christ one of his many gods.
That
night, as he watched the Crucifixion scene in the film, he started to
cry. After the showing, a team member stood before the crowd to
summarize what they had seen. He emphasized Christ as the ONE and ONLY
true God. The
Hindu priest understood. He approached the team member afterward to
thank him for sharing the truth, and promised to destroy his Hindu
temple and put a Bible in its place. |

V SUNDARAM In December 2006, the secular, non-saffronized,
non-communal, non-obscurantist, non-superstitious Himachal Pradesh
Government has passed a legislation banning forced religious
conversions. The Congress-led government in the State passed the
legislation during its four-day winter session held at the newly
constructed Vidhan Sabha (State Legislature) in Dharamshala on Friday.
Kaul Singh, Law Minister, Himachal Pradesh, said, that 'according to
the bill if someone was forced to change his religion without his
consent, then he could come back to his own religion within a month'.
He has also added that under the bill, persons who had forced or
induced someone to change his/her religion then he/she would liable for
punishment. |
