I am not trying to start a race debate here, but I was watching one of them "Save the Children" paid advertisements on TV this morning and by looking at the landscape and resources, the location these starving people lived in was a paradise in my eyes. These people had no food and suffering from starvation, but the land they lived on had desert, a forest, and a large pond. I could not understand why these people lived in mud huts when there was plenty of lumber to build a home. I was confused on why these people traveled a mile to a pond to get water, yet die from disease and parasites because they did not boil the water. The desert is a harsh environment, but there is food there if you know what you are looking for. You would think after many, many generations of families living there would figure this out. You would also wonder why they do not boil the water Pick the nicest neighborhood in your area. Take that entire population and drop them in Kenya or whatever place these poor, starving people live and come back in 50 years to see what happens. Also take the entire population of the "starving people" and drop them off in that nice neighborhood. What would happen? |

I wonder, as a Christian, if it is my duty to feed those children or is it my duty to teach them about Jesus and God. It is very easy to get "your ideas" into some poor hungry persons' head when you promise them a bowl of rice. Sure, they will say "Yes, I believe in Jesus" as long as your feed them, but after you go away and take your sacks of rice with you, they will return to their previous lifestyle. Remember, Mr. Mullet, that we have taught those people how to rely on others for thier food and water. For years, those civilizations did everything for themselves. Once missionaries came into their lives, those indiginous peoples started to rely on the new ways of surviving. They have lost the ability to feed themselves because they rely upon the missionaries for their food. Preach the gospel, but do no harm! I think that is a great idea which missionaries should be taught before they go out into the field. Most of the time the missionary does harm, and he doesn't even know that he is harming the one's he is suppose to help. I have first hand knowledge of this type of harm. One day I will tell that story. It sure opened my eyes and I was saddened by the story. No body died, but I think hard feelings were felt by the indiginous people. |

I think warlords etc have something to do with some of it though. People flee fighting and basically get left to fend for themselves. But it does seem curious that they just don't seem to learn as time goes by how to feed themselves. As I've probably mentioned before I believe Biblical illiteracy to be a scourge of this world and missionaries are no exception. Some people see a big "GP" in the sky and think it means "Go Preach" when it really means "Go Plow". They do as much damage to Christianity as they do to indigenous peoples. Easter is a prime example. Not many Christians know that the word in the manuscripts for Easter is pascha - it is translated every other time as Passover. There is no Scriptural basis for this translator insertion except that they were trying to win over people who worshiping Ishtar, and practicing fertility rites in the Spring time, hence the eggs and bunny traditions. Christians were never told to practice any of this. Passover is not just a Jewish holiday. The instructions God gave were for all the tribes, all the people "whomsoever" would:(Exodus 12:14) And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. It is NOT just a holiday for the tribe of Judah. Anyway, I think this vid sums up the situation pretty well: |
