Why were the Boxers opposed to missionaries?

The Boxers were concerned about foreign influences and the introduction of opium by European traders. Adrian Hastings (A World History of Christianity) says the missionaries were haunted by the fear that pride would drive the Chinese to revolt, and so thought it important to keep them in a state of humility. Missionaries, Protestant as well as Catholic, had depended on the opium connection, with many travelling to China in ships carrying opium, their funds remitted via opium traders and their charitable or educational work relying on donations from resident Western firms connected with the opium trade.

How was nepotism ended by the early church?

The word nepotism is from the Latin word nepos,meaning "nephew" or "grandchild" and is used to mean the granting of favours or privileges to relatives or friends, regardless of merit. During the Middle Ages, popes used to provide for their illegitimate children by describing them as "nephews" and ensuring that they were given key positions within the church.

The practice ended in 1692, when Pope Innocent XII issued the bull Romanum decet Pontificem, prohibiting popes from bestowing estates, offices, or revenues on any relative, with the exception that one qualified relative (at most) could be made a Cardinal.

The scripture doesn't make clear whether Paul actually went ashore on the island of Samothrace, but the ship was apparently only in the area one day before heading to Neapolis.(Acts 16:11).

What is your experience with the LDS missionaries and being a convert?

This is my experience with the LDS church and the missionaries:

I was a single mom with children....the two missionaries came into my life and made me very happy only to end up with heartbreak when they were done with their mission and left you. At first you think they are very educated and really love their work on a mission, but this isn't always true. Many of them feel pressured to go on a mission. They are not the psychiatrists or the conduits you think they are for the church. I believe they do love the church but not always as much as you think. After they are done with their mission they do not like talking about the gospel as much as you thought they would. I tried e-mailing or writing them after, and they aren't as focused on the gospel or as interested in talking about it as they were while they were on their missions.

I wanted to continue talking about the scriptures with them after their mission was done as a friend but was disappointed in not feeling like they wanted to. They are young they are and they are human... so don't judge a book by its cover... the smiles, the finely dressed look, and the impression that they are fully educated in the LDS gospel can be temporary. I cried my eyes out when my first missionaries that got us baptized moved on. I felt ignored.

I do believe in the church fully, but now I understand what was going on. I don't want anyone else blindsided by getting converted for the missionaries rather than for God. Just love the church and study the scriptures and do it for you and God only.

Whom did Paul meet on his first missionary journey?

The three missionary journeys are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts. In his own epistles, Paul provides no information about the first missionary journey, in fact his own itinerary seems to rule out the possibility of the first missionary journey that is reported in Acts of the Apostles.

According to Acts, Paul departed on the journey with Barnabas. they met Bar-Jesus, also known as Elymas, and Sergius Paulus on the island of Paphos. According to Acts, their mission was to the Jews, since Peter had not yet proposed that Gentiles be admitted to the Christian Church. Paul did meet some Gentiles but, apart from Sergius Paulus, was reported to be spectacularly unsuccessful in converting them.

How long did it take St. Paul to travel from Antioch to Derbe on his first missionary journey?

AnswerRaymond E. Brown ('An Introduction to the New Testament') points out that in his undisputed letters Paul gives us no information about the first missionary journey, as if it neever happened. The itinerary has been called into doubt by some scholars, while others say there was no first missionary journey as described in Acts of the Apostles. It may be futile to hypothesise how long a journey may have taken, if we can not even be sure that it took place at all.
