Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.
~Um, it’s completely foolish?
~Especially in places where a war is going on, this is just idiotic.
~Most missionaries have children, which means risking their lives as well.
~The horror stories of missionary children put in orphanages for their safety are unbelievable.
~Many times they go naively and only cause more trouble.
~They are only inviting the radicals and the violent to sin by killing them, and we are supposed to not give others such opportunities to sin.
~It’s one thing to be willing to meaningfully sacrifice your life, but this is meaningless sacrifice.
~We should be prudent when we give our money, time, talents, and life away.
~Don’t cast your pearls before swine.
~Be harmless as doves but crafty as serpents.
~Some people can’t be saved.
~Don’t throw good money after bad.
~Their deaths do nothing but deprive the world of the benefits they could continue to be offering.
~Given a choice between a dangerous place and a less dangerous but non-Christian place, where would their resource be better utilized?
~In warfare, do you march up the hill directly at the defensive emplacement or do you flank the opponent somehow?
~God repeatedly tried to warn Paul against going to Jerusalem. The end result here makes Paul look like a fool who won’t listen rather than like a wise man.
