Bible Question:
ASAP we are a caucasian pentecostal church sharing it at different times with the hispanics who has a pentecostal pastor,which I respect very much.some of the members have a problem with involving the hispanics in some of our services or ministries.can you give scripture I can share with them,that they are wrong to feel like this |
Bible Answer: Christin Before I get into too much trouble here let me say Jesus instructed us to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. If we went to another country what would we expect. That the church learned our language or that they helped us learn theirs? I think we all understand the answer to be the later. Your English church needs to do whatever it can to help the Hispanics learn English as fast as they can. Some will pick it up quickly others may never master it but we must keep trying. Language divides, God knew that and used it in Genesis 9 to do just that. We can pretend to ignore it but thatact remains. EdB |
