To the Churches of the Seven Continents

[TribulationSigns]

As for that article you sent, it does seem plausible but i'm still reviewing it. It will take me a while to review it. Thanks for sending it.

Try not to read it too fast as you did here, (which I am also guilty of, too). It took me a while to pray and cross-examine it with Scripture, so take your time.

I am done for the night. Good night.

That document is 35 pages long. In no way shape or form does me not believing it mean i'm not being guided by the Holy Spirit. I might be done in 6 months but i have other stuff to do other than be on this forum.

"The involvement of Christians in Aboriginal affairs has evolved singnificantly since 1788. Around the year 2000, many churches and church organisations officially apologised for past failures to adequately respect indigenous cultures and address the injustices of the dispossession of indigenous people.[46][47][48]

Christian missionaries often witnessed to Indigenous people in an attempt to convert them to Christianity. The Presbyterian Church of Australia’s Australian Inland Mission and the Lutheran mission at Hermannsburg, Northern Territory being examples. Many missionaries often studied Aboriginal society from an Anthropological perspective.[49] Missionaries have made significant contributions to anthropological and linguistic understanding of Indigenous Australians and aspects of Christian services have been adapted when there is Aboriginal involvement"

I'm still barely getting to read through some history of Christianity in these continents, but as I was reading about Australia and how it can possibly correlate to the Church of Philadelphia, I was struck by the thought that perhaps they treated the indigenous peoples with the most brotherly love--more so than on any other continent?

*And then I wondered if this is what Revelation is really getting at...how did these Churches treat those who they would convert?

As is always the case how we treat others can some times result in disciplinary action by Jesus Christ. Jesus disciplines everyone he loves. Other than that i don't personally have a problem with this post.
