Evangelical Incivility

Synopsis of article

Ignoring the divine command to "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's" evangelical Christians shamelessly circumvent legal prohibitions against proselytizing in certain Islamic countries by beaming their propaganda from the safety of outer space.

These troublemakers lack the courage to preach in person and face the consequences (including capital punishment) of their illegal activities. Jesus asks them "why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?"

It is not a difficult matter to obey the laws of the land, and to respect the laws of others. It only requires the self-discipline of doing "unto others as you would have them do unto yourself." If they are not capable of this common civility, how are they equipped to follow divine law?

These evangelists fancy that they have some special dispensation to violate the trust of their Muslim neighbours. The Prophet Jesus asks "And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?" Abraham notes: "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone raises from the dead."
