And then we have people like Jay Ross trying to mislead those he may regard as ignorant. So what's worse -- ignorance or misdirection?Defined as:Christian people who do not know, that they do not know.

A wise person will listen and learn from what others know to be true by confirming what it is that they have been told is true and in line with the source Biblical Texts.
Have you ever read any of brother Yen’s books, or ever heard him speak - Chinese Christians have amazing testimonies, and they are often persecuted because they follow the Lord closely . Often having to meet in secret, they hunger for the word of God , they go miles to hear preaching and suffer much for their faith.....I am staggered that your pastor claims they don’t have the truth or knowledge we have, I would suspect they have more because they have to lean on The Holy Spirit, who has all the truth and knowledge - brother Yen actually comes to the western world to evangelise - because many don’t hunger as they need to.Christians bashing other Christians...
I love a good debate, but in the interest of understanding for all.
My Pastor made an impacting statement today... He hates ignorance as much or more than I do. But he was talking about Chinese Christians being persecuted. He said that they may not have the truth or knowledge we do (or maybe they do) but they stand on what they DO know and didn't back down.

Read more carefully.I am staggered that your pastor claims they don’t have the truth or knowledge we have
‘ He said they may not have the truth and knowledge we do ‘ or do you mean the ‘ ( or maybe they do ) ‘ it still implies that they don’t have ‘ as much as we don’ , doesn’t it ?Read more carefully.
No, it doesn't.t still implies that they don’t have ‘ as much as we don’ , doesn’t it ?
Good. Glad we got that settled.Ok, if you say so
‘ The heavenly man ‘ is a good read x ( although I read it some years ago now )Good. Glad we got that settled.
I actually looked into Brother Yun.... Seems like he has an interesting story to tell. My public library does carry his book in hard copy, but I might order a copy from Amazon.
Thanks for the reference.

Yes, truth and knowledge of God, but many are educated as well - not all because many live in very poor areas, but education comes in many forms.They may not be scholars but i bet their faith is way stronger than a Westerner's.
Ok, Nancy using the word Scholar resonated - what I thought your pastor was saying was ‘ The Chinese are not as good as us because they are uneducated ‘ ( hence my reaction yesterday ‘ )Good. Glad we got that settled.
