Okay christians get a lot of flak on here on account of missionaries and evangelising but....
...why do they send out missionaries?
Okay I can understand in olden times when the only way to spread the good news was to walk from town to town. Surely nowadays in developed countries, with all the tools of modern communication it's not neccessary. If anybody really wants to find out about christianity they can look it up on the Internet.
Wouldn't a christians duty to evangelise be fulfilled simply be responding fully to inquiries?
Can any christian enlighten me on this one?
