A Case in India: How Worship of Nature Impoverishes and Corrupts

[frgonotv59]

One of my very favorites. Compassion, logic, history, and the right questions. Much is revealed in this clip in the telling, and the detail. Vishal is a gifted man, working for

Christ in India.

@frgonotv59 would you attribute India's poverty to the fact that India hasnt been evangelized or christianized?

@sathyaswarup Only partially. Many economies flourish without Christianity, and many with Christianity flounder. Whether Christian or not (and I'm speaking of nominal Christianity here), fear of the creation and a rejection of the body are two major factors, heavily prevalent in India, that create systemic poverty. As India has been becoming more secular, and has been exposed to Western thought for a couple centuries, it is slowly improving. We hope to see the gospel, not atheism, claim India.

@sathyaswarup For example, take Africa. Much of Norther and Easter Africa is heavily nominally Christian, largely Coptic Orthodox, or variants of Orthodoxy and Catholicism. But few are churched in anyway, and most still practice the old traditional animists religions of their ancestors. They fear creation and they fear wealth. They feel wealth, or piety, makes you subject to the devils and spirits cruelty. They fear, and therefore worship, creation. They cannot master what they fear.
