Quote:Untrue.
Please stop saying things like this because it is a false accusation.
Quote:When the Mayans were found by the Spanish Conquistadors did they find them worshiping Jesus Christ?? Nope. Did they find them giving the god jehovah the praise for things like bountiful harvests and plenty of food and water? Nope. Since it's well known that the Mayans were excellent astronomers, did they give the glory of the heavens to the Lord god Immanuel?? Nope.
You have the Bible in your own language yet you do not believe. Revelation does not guarantee belief. Your ignore free choice.
Quote:This is a bull shit excuse that christians use to weasel out of the fact that their god left most people on this planet to burn in hell due to their "pagan gods" and their accident of birth. The Mayans and the billions of people that lived prior all over the world didn't even know your god's name. They praised the only gods they knew and they offered human sacrifices to appease them
Really? You were there and know this for a fact? Billions of people today have the Bible in their own language yet they CHOOSE to worship false gods--what is your point?
Quote:And why did they worship these gods? ... the same reason you worship yours ... because they assumed that their parents and their grand parents and their entire civilization wouldn't lie to them about "the one true god."
What evidence do you have that this is true? Please trot it out. How do you know that some Mayans and other ancient citizens di dnot question their family's belief's? It happens today even in Christian homes so why would the Mayan be any different?
Quote:You are essentially a Mayan ... you were just born on a different continent, in a different century, and serve a different god
So all those people who were raised in non-christian homes or in cultic enviornments really aren't Christian then since their coinversion was done outside of a christian influence? This is a weak argument that does not stand up to scrutiny.
Even in atheistic Stalinistic Russia there were believers. Read the book, God's Smuggler to see how that enviorment did not produce only atheists.
Quote:After all was said and done the Spanish murdered nearly all of them and enslaved the rest --- all in an effort to "reveal god to the world."
I think you need to re-read your history. The Spanairds were after GOLD not evangelizing the world.
But then your thinking is common where you feel everyone who claims to be a christian is one and that is so far from the truth. Evil people will use religion, but that doesn't mean religion (in this case Christianity) is evil and bad. You just use the generality to provide you with an excuse for not believing in Jesus.
The Bible doesn't teach 'all who claim to be a christian is one' NO it teaches 'by their fruits you shall know them. Obviously, the Spanairds were not christian by the results of their interaction with native peoples.
P.S. you should be terrified of those evil people who use religion for their own gain NOT of God, Jesus or those who truly believe in them.
