Maybe it's a cultural thing; they are both Asian I believe.
What I think happened is that God in moving in the earth, went to a "virgin" land unspoiled by traditional Christianity.
If we view
everything as cultural we may miss God's speaking.
The lesson of
John the Baptist should remind us of that.
"What kind of PRIEST is THIS ... dressed in camel's hair and eating locusts in the wolderness ?? In our tradition we thought all the priest were dressed in linen and in the temple. "
Be careful.
God can be sneaky.
He might say " I spoke everything you needed to prepare for the last days. I came to you in messages given by my servants from China. You didn't realize that the Body of Christ can have the blood supply flow from East to West the same way it can flow from West to East."
Watch Him. God can throw us a straight ball. It is we who can be a little "curved" in what we expect.
