These are not "unsaved" or "unreached" people as many Christian databases categorize them (and me). It's not a peaceful world view one can have being on a high horse about one path.

The people were wise to defend themselves. Uninvited evangelism to recruit more followers to make you and your friends feel more secure in your specific version of mythology is not courageous. It is selfish, disrespectful, and arrogant, even without taking into account the criminal recklessness of carrying deadly diseases to people whose bodies have other immunities. It's tragic that this boy was so brainwashed he couldn't find a real way to help the world rather putting so much energy into trying to persuade strangers that his mythology was better than theirs. Sad that his parents and church leaders did not teach him better.

[@ethangrace4948]

It is love that compels us friend, not the need for more security. Being forgiven is a free gift from Jesus. Because we are loved so deeply we can't help sharing that love with others. We don't believe the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything. We believe our creator created us for friendship with himself.
In addition John Chau prepared himself not to spread disease to the North Sentinelese by doing the following:
Getting vaccinated against a wide range of diseases. He received 13 different vaccines, including those for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, hepatitis A and B, typhoid, yellow fever, and cholera.
Quarantining himself for a period of time before approaching the island. This was to reduce the risk of carrying any contagious diseases.

Take a kind of existentialist world view of morality, like Sartre: I legislate for all mankind with every one of my actions. (That's the golden rule with some tweaking.)

Yeah, the Huaorani (that's their name, not "Auca", which is a pejorative meaning "savage" in Quechua) were colonized and their land exploited by a Texas oil company (Maxus) working with/using the sister (Rachel Saint) of one of the guys killed with Jim Elliot.

[@never_give_up90]

If stupidity and disrespect is something to admire, then go on but I will never look at those people the same. This arrogance and disrespect is baffling! Shoving religion down the throats of others needs to be stopped. Let people have free will and decide for themselves, not force it onto our children and those who are not interested. Kids believe in Santa and Fairies for a very good developmental reason. So telling them stories about magical beings who created everything is very equal to that. It's okay to let them read books and answer questions but when they get older and start questioning Santa and God, let them decide for themselves. Don't force your beliefs and opinions on them, because at this point their logic is starting to develop fast and they can decide for themselves.

I think what's often misunderstood is that John did not see himself as the Sentineleses' savior. He saw himself as their Savior's unworthy messenger.

[@amyckan]

(genuine question), So he was there to send the idea/message of God 3x, and then was so dedicated to it that he committed and gave himself in? Is that what you're saying? It's such an intriguing thing for me and I've never heard it this way

[@jflinn7401]

​​@@amyckanYeah , that's definitely the gist of it. I can't speak with 100% certainty about Chau's views since, even though I'm Christian, I don't come from exactly the same evangelical background that he did. However, I can say with confidence that he would have seen himself as someone trying to live in a personal relationship with Jesus along with everything that that entails. That means he would have thought that Jesus' command to "Go, therefore, and preach the Gospel to all nations" was as binding on the Christians of today, himself included, as it was on the first apostles. If I can help clarify that anymore, please let me know (I love honest questions).

[@amyckan]

@@jflinn7401 Thats so interesting. I saw his final attempt because he told the fishermen to leave him there as a “I really want to try and communicate to them” instead of a unworthy messenger. Do you think he just saw himself as someone who had to spread the message and sacrifice himself at the point of doing so?
I think his father said something about him being pushed by a group to this extreme. I’m not religious so I have a general negative view of this still, it’s just insane to me to think he didn’t have this boundary

If... and that is a huge IF, for when Christ was rejected He didn't go back... countless examples in scripture and even on this child's mission.
