Sonship, have you ever wondered what you would think and believe if you were born some other time or place, raised in a different culture, taught different tenets. Until you have tried to do so, your opinion cannot be trusted.
The diversity card on Christians cannot be played ad infinitum.
There are many cities and towns on this earth that if I were lost there I could contact Christians and receive help.
I could make a call in Taiwan.
I could make a call in Russia.
I could make a call in Israel.
I could make a call even in Iran.
I could make a call in Mexico, Guatemala, Spain, Ethiopia, Greece, even Mainland China, and all regions of the United States, England, Germany, Switzerland, Philippines, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Tanzania, Cuba, Santa Domingo, many places.
I could call and say or have my English translated into the local language to say -
" I am a Christian brother by the name of sonship. I love the Lord Jesus and am in your area. I received Jesus Christ many years ago now. Greetings to you in His name. Could I have some fellowship with you? I am from a certain city in the United States."
I have much confidence that across the globe and in many different cultures I could be welcomed by fellow believers in Christ as a brother in the Lord.
Don't attempt to over play the cultural diversity card on Christians. There is hardly a more universal message of brotherhood, love, and spiritual unity and even practical unity. The Gospel of Christ encompasses all tribes, people, tongues, and nations.
