Do you have to be a certain age to become a missionary?
No, you do not have to be a certain age to become a missionary. A missionary is usually someone who is sent from and supported by their particular church or denomination to go into the world with the "mission" of sharing their faith and persuading others to join them in their faith. Often missionary work is accompanied by humanitarian work, such as caring for the sick (a medical missionary), teaching, running orphanages, etc. But for the basic purpose of a missionary, anyone who is old enough to understand the gospel, and has believed the gospel, can share that gospel with someone else. If they do that as a lifestyle, then they are a missionary. However, certain mission boards do have age qualifications on them, for various reasons. Because of this, it may be more difficult for some people of certain ages to become missionaries, but not impossible. But going through a mission board is not the only way to become a missionary. (See the question link below: "Do you get paid to be a missionary?" for the different ways that a person can become a missionary) A minor can be a missionary if they are with their parents or have the consent of their parents to do mission work. An older person can also be a missionary; I know of several missionaries on their way to the mission field, who not only have grown children, but also grandchildren.
How was Junipero Serra's childhood?
Junipero Serra seems to have had a happy childhood, filled with a strong sense of religious faith. He was born into humble origins on the Spanish island of Mallorca. His parents were religious Catholics and they were determined to get their son a good education. They sent him to a nearby Franciscan school, where he did very well and impressed his teachers. By the time he was fifteen, he knew he wanted to be a priest, and the very next year, he became a novice in the Franciscan order.
Why were Christian missionaries from Europe unable to convert the Japanese and Chinese?
Christianity has rarely done well in countries that have not been colonies of the Western powers. Japan and China have not been Western colonies. However, Christian churches continue to apply resources and are quietly making some gains.
In early Christian times, Christianity was highly fragmented. Gradually, two main branches developed - what is now called the proto-Catholic-Orthodox branch and the Gnostic branch. Gnosticism, by its very nature, coulkd never become united under one set of beliefs, and never had a strong, disciplined hierarchy. Because of this, Constantine saw Gnosticism as of no benefit to the governance of the empire, and merely undermining the unity of Christianity. Thus, the Gnostics did not receive state patronage and their beliefs were strongly discouraged. The Catholic-Orthodox branch of Christianity developed into the Christian Church we know today.
Prior to the time of Constantine it may not have been evident that the Catholic-Orthodox branch would succed over Gnosticism. For that reason, it could be misleading to refer to Gnosticism as a cult. Because there was no single Gnostic Church, it would not have been a sect (school) of Christianity, but could perhaps be referred to a a group of sects.
AnswerGnosticism and the beliefs arising from it are cults. AnswerSome claim that Gnosticism is a cult, yet a cult by definition is a set of collectivist views shared by all members. Gnostics are INDIVIDUALISTS. An Individualist can not be a cult member because it conflicts with the definition of a cult. I suggest you do a little more research before you label the Gnostic beliefs as a cult. Remember, they were put to death because the essentially "knew too much" and questioned the tyrannical power of the catholic church so they were exterminated. They believed that God encompassed all things and the path to God was within yourself. Like I said INDIVIDUALISTS not cult or collectivists. Just because someone has opposing beliefs to you does not make them a cult
