You have spoken about having the “clear gospel”. But I ask how exactly has it come to be clear for you? Did it not require God becoming a man and tabernacling among us (contextualization)? Did it not need to be lived out on a historically defined human stage in the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus (contexualization)? Did it not need to be communicated and written down in human language and in relevant 1st century, Greco-Roman literary genre by the gospel writers (contextualization)? Did this not ultimately need to be translated in to numerous languages including Nepali (contextualization)? Indeed did not countless forms of worship, discipleship, and other kinds of Christian faith expression develop over time and throughout multiple cultural contexts (contextualization)? In fact, isn’t it true that a Christian today hardly has a hymn book, a Bible, a seminary, a church building, a sermon, a Lord’s supper, a discipleship program, a musical instrument, a language, or indeed anything like a “clear gospel” without massive amounts of contextualization through and through. Contextualization as incarnation must be assumed. It is inherent in all human activity and communication. You see, there is really never a question about whether contextualization will be involved in mission. The question is whether that contextualization is being intentionally and intelligently pursued. By asking, “why do you need contextualization” you ignore the fact that you, yourself, simply cannot do without it. Even making comments on my blog in English is a very high-level form of contextualization. Also by asking this question, you incorrectly suggest that it is the intentional pursuer of contextualization that is introducing something odd to the work of evangelism. Again, contextualization is focused on the removal of barriers not the introduction of cultural novelties. It is the one who doesn’t intentionally pursue contextualization who is introducing foreign elements to the process of making disciples. I might ask you the question, “Why do you need Western cultural forms in your evangelism and discipleship of non-Westerners?” If you are really interested in understanding more the reasons for contextualization, I have actually written a series of brief articles on the subject entitled “Why Contextualize?” You can find those articles here http://codylorance.blogspot.com/search/label/why%20contextualize<br /><br />One thing my readers may notice is that I have tended to avoid responding directly to citations of or argumentation built upon personal testimony and experience. I have likewise been very sparing in sharing anything like this of my own (exceptions to this have mostly been in order to illustrate that assumptions developed based on experiences had in the Kathmandu Valley are not necessarily applicable to all Nepali-speakers at all times in all places). I am grateful for the faith expressed by those who have been willing to endure much for in the name of the Lord Jesus. I also recognize that ministry and life experience holds great potential as fine schools for good missiology. However, neither of these is a guarantor of sound argument, solid theology, or missiological “right-ness”. My own ministry experience, however long or compelling (or brief and boring), does not guarantee that my positions will be right. There is a way to utilize qualitative data to draw sound missiological conclusions, and this is not it. <br /><br />Many thanks again for your responses!

I would contend that Scripture teaches precisely the opposite. We are very much commanded to comfort others (Isa.40:1, 61:2, 2 Cor. 1:3-7, Col. 1:24, etc.) I don’t think there is any doubt that we are called to imitate the incarnation by entering into the context of those we are trying to reach, and to do this at great cost.

I rejoice that your strong disagreement with me on this issue does not lead you making false accusations, hateful charges, or to seek my harm or silencing. If I may, I want to respond to your recent comments with the following points:<br /><br />(1) Your understanding of the Nepali language and culture is not something that I am questioning. The mistake I have pointed out is a mistake in Sanskrit regarding the term “hare”. I do not see in your comments any interaction with the points I have made in the above article.<br /><br />(2) Your point about “hay” and “gold” is well taken. Certainly our focus must be on the gospel and not trivial things. To understand my perspective, however, you must know that for me, contextualization is a gospel issue. Evangelistically speaking, it aims to remove every unnecessary barrier of language, culture, form, etc lying between a non-believer and the gospel. My biblical model is the incarnation of Jesus (Phil. 2, Jn. 1) and Paul’s incarnational method (1 Cor. 9). Christ’s putting on of flesh and Paul’s becoming all things to all people was for something. And Paul said that it was better enable him to reach as many as possible (1 Cor. 9:22-23).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991218555078662281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206660347169327219.post-87867322377420993762012-03-19T00:25:09.593-05:002012-03-19T00:25:09.593-05:00Yes, My brother I had to make same choice our sist...Yes, My brother I had to make same choice our sister Jaya did.

I can understand you deferring to stronger brothers on this, but it would be beneficial to you and anyone you dialogue about these issues with in the future if you had a reason to support your argument other than "most Nepali pastors agree with me." and then hope/assume that they have a good reason. Also, there should be no fear of men for anyone. Who you fear translates to who you worship.

I have not said take my word for it nor my arguments for anything. Rather, I keep encouraging Cody's supervisors to consult a multitude of wise Nepali Christians, Nepali pastors and to consult the missionaries God has called to serve Him in Cody's own denomination.

Thank you for putting up those Scriptures, but Katherine nailed it in her response. SURELY you have something better than a misused (remember 2 Pet 3:16). 1 Cor 10, because you have made some very fast and very serious claims about Cody. I am still waiting to hear your argument. Perhaps you should write an article outlining your Scriptural defense of why you hate Eastern contextualization or point to a book that you think sums it up. At least defer to a speaker or author who put up a defense founded on Scripture, because you've brought nothing to the conversation except puffed up opinions. I don't see how a man who uses the alias "Litl-Luther" can make an argument with the main support for his thesis being: "This is true because a majority of the church in Nepal will agree with me." Unfortunately for your argument, but praise God for this, truth does not lie in the opinions of man!

Is Dashain an inherently demonic holiday simply because a certain number of people in the world worship other gods that day? Does it really make no difference what an individual or a household actually practices?<br />As for wearing the tika (for Dashain in particular), again – is it a demonic practice simply by association? Is the motion of putting a mixture of rice, yogurt and dye on someone else’s forehead inherently demonic? Does it matter that some households do not verbalize any blessings while they put on the tika? Does it matter that some households verbalize blessings in the name of the Triune God while putting on the tika? <br />Litl-Luther claims that worshipping Durga is THE reason people celebrate Dashain (maybe that was on the other post). However, among the households I know, people do not think about Durga at all but celebrate Dashain because they value their families and wish to give and receive blessings within the family. In many households, as I just said, the blessings are not verbally or otherwise associated (within that household) with any gods besides the Triune God. So when Nepali Christians tell them not to put on or receive the Dashain tika, what they hear is: “We want you to stop blessing your family.” That is not what Nepali Christians say or intend but since that is what the families I know actually think the Dashain tika is all about, that is the message they receive.<br />I will agree that we want to discourage any practice which is not done in the name of the Triune God. But determining what is done in the name of the Lord or not should not be reduced to outward actions of an individual/family or the actions of others because “the Lord looks on the heart.” Stepping inside a church is not inherently more or less Christ-honoring than stepping inside a mandir. Billions of people pray to other gods and sing to other gods, but that does not make prayer in the name of Jesus or singing to the Father demonic activities.<br />If the celebrating of Dashain and wearing tika within my Bhutanese Nepali community are demonic activities because the church in Nepal has deemed them so, then I’d like to know when and how the church in Nepal made their investigation.Katherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206660347169327219.post-88367511429750825402012-03-15T00:26:34.182-05:002012-03-15T00:26:34.182-05:00I'm not sure the "disappointment" of...I'm not sure the "disappointment" of which you speak, Anon, when I claim that I am merely taking the same position in these matters as the over one million Nepali believers throughout Nepal. I am merely taking the same position as the Nepali leadership throughout the Nepali church in Nepal. I am merely taking the same position of virtually every single missionary working in Nepal. That is all I am doing. I've simply voiced the same position that has been stated clearly over and over again by the church in Nepal. That's all I've done. You wish to stand against the position of the church throughout Nepal, as well as against the Nepali leadership throughout Nepal and agaisnt nearly every Christian missionaries throughout Nepal. That is your choice to stand by yourself. No disappointment on my part. Dashain is a demonic holiday, in which countless blood sacrifices are made to demons every year. Wearing the tika is a demonic practice which is done in the name false gods. And by saying that, I am merely taking the same position with the whole Nepali church in Nepal, and the whole missionary Christian community in Nepal. I am merely voicing the same position the whole church in Nepal hold to. None of this should surprise you unless you are ignorant because it is the facts. If you are comfortable being on the outside, considered outside of orothodoxy by the Nepali church; if you are content with all your believers being considered none Christian. If you are not interested in following the leading of the Holy Spirit in how He worked so powerfully in Nepal among Nepali people, then by all means continue on your path. But it is my belief that what you falsely call contextualization will be a detrement to the cause of Christ among Nepali\ Bhutanese people. And the church in Nepal will not take your side, nor will the Christian missionary force in Nepal. You're own your own.<br /><br />To add to the verse you mentioned above, this one also applies to Dashain: "Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?"

God has willed to continue to communicate throughout the generations through His Word and the thoughts of men are dust next to the thoughts of God which are as high as the heavens are from the earth. Whether or not everyone in the church in Nepal believes that tika is inherently evil, Dashain can only be celebrated in Durga's name, or whatever it is that you believe about how the culture of the church ought to be, their argument is empty and hollow without it being the argument of God, from the Word of God, which contains the mind of God. Many people say many things, much of it lies. Seasoned missionaries and pastors in Nepal are just as prone to a blind spot as anyone is, despite their vast experience (despite his vast experience and even apostleship, Paul warns about overconfidence in teachers/leaders; 1 Cor. 1:12). I've been told by Nepali pastors that cigarette smoke will chase away the Holy Spirit from your body. I've been told by Nepali pastors that soccer is one of Satan's nets in the world and that anyone who willingly played wasn't saved. Some would likely damn you for your love of South Park (which I share). One Nepali pastor shifted his position on tika/traditional Nepali festivals/other things when we reviewed relevant Scriptures together. He went away from the discussion, saying "I'll no longer discourage anyone who comes to faith in Jesus here to quit wearing tika so long as they're confident that the God from the Bible is the only God and that they are saved by the blood of Jesus and that their wearing tika does not disturb their conscience/is in honor of Christ. I used to teach that tika was only for the dead, the mark of the beast, and that anyone who wore it post-regeneration was living in their old self." (paraphrased) I don't discredit your friends because they're Nepali or not, seasoned missionaries or not, but if they bring the same empty cup to the dialogue on incarnational ministry in a Hindu context that you do, expecting that others drink deeply from it, they might find the same disappointment that likely awaits you. It's clear that you're upset and your wife is upset. I get that. But rather than using fluffy arguments about whose vision is obstructed here, or accusing people of demonic worship, why don't you dust off your Bible? If Cody was unclear in his explanation of why he practices what he does, then your explanation is illegible. I'd personally love to hear your argument inside a Biblical frame of reference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206660347169327219.post-3243520999904054532012-03-14T22:53:56.748-05:002012-03-14T22:53:56.748-05:00Greetings, Anonymous (#2).

As someone who is seeking to understand the relevance and validity of Hindu religious/cultural traditions as they relate to the Christian witness, it definitely sparked some thought and debate in my own mind. I don't have much more to add, except that I claim no expertise or knowledge on this subject, and I am certainly not meaning to accuse or judge, as I myself am stuck somewhere in the middle and occasionally on both extremes at the same time :) ...but may I share of one passage of Scripture that seems appropriate?<br /><br />"Now concerning food sacrificed to idols: we know that 'all of us possess knowledge.' This "knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that 'an idol has no real existence,' and that 'there is no God but one.' For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth--as indeed there are many 'gods' and many 'lords'--yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol's temple, will he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

I was referring to the tremendous growth of the church in Nepal because all of it took place without ever having marrying Hinduism & Christianity together. The church in Nepal grew at nearly the same rate as the New Testament church because they forsook everything Hindu and embraced Jesus Christ. ...this conversation continued over at http://codylorance.blogspot.com/2011/10/symbols-of-dashain-explanation.htmlLitl-Lutherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790787494599438994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206660347169327219.post-46894199141096540922012-03-14T20:29:51.281-05:002012-03-14T20:29:51.281-05:00Correction in translation "Dekho parmeshwar k...Correction in translation "Dekho parmeshwar ka memna jo jagat ke pap har le jata hai."<br /><br />Doesn't affect what I was saying in my comments though.Vinodhttp://vinodisaac.comnoreply@blogger.com
