Do Christian realize that in their attempts to proselytize non-Christians in other countries that do not have a long historical Christian background they should generally take more time to explain every aspect of what the Bible, the Christianity really is? It seems to me they prefer to offer an easy-to-consume Christianity heavily packaged together with Western (middle class) values that have nothing ti di with real Christianity... In other societies and cultures it can be quite dangerous and destructive... I consider it very unfair. Why would they do it? It's not sensible at all...
A thread I created was deleted with no explanation. I was nothing but sincere and honest there.
So I'll try to re-word my discussion topic as neutrally as possible and see if that passes the local censorship.

New Tribes Missions in located in my town in Central Florida. They have been reaching out to the world for a long time. They do it by living with a group for a while and leading by example. They learn the language, customs, and history of a peoples before reaching for a Bible. But the people can see what a person is about by the loving way they reach out and help with building and bringing life saving techniques for safe water and medicines and health.
I agree in general that when we seek to share the gospel with others it is important, critical to do so in a manner that addresses their values, acknowledges their culture, their history, their personal situations. In other words, sharing the gospel, particularly one-on-one demands we seek to know and understand the person and where they are coming from spiritually, religiously, historically, culturally.A thread I created was deleted with no explanation.
