I don't have the mind of God. I only know what he's told me.

In my opinion they should revert to Shintoism.

Hi Troll.


Japan is an interesting place. No I have not traveled all over Japan but I have been there and I have observed some things. Japan is not the high tech place you have been led to believe, certain places in Japan are like that, most are not. The Japanese are years ahead in some of their inventions and technologies and decades behind in their administration, methods and procedures. Japanese young people often feel oppressed and suffocated by their countries cultural expectations of them. When they get away from their culture they often rebel dramatically and do wild and crazy things as if trying to make up for lost years of youthful fun. Japanese men can have a dark and weird side that I won’t comment on in detail but sufficient to say all is not as it seems on the surface sometimes. The population generally lives in denial about the countries world war two atrocities and school text books pass over the war except to detail the terrible things that happened to the Japanese people including of course the dropping of two nuclear bombs on their cities. Emperor worship which was supposed to be abolished after world war two is not dead, it is just dormant. It can be revived at a future point if so desired.

Japan definitely needs missionaries. It is a hard place to minister and Japanese people are hard to reach. Japanese churches have a disproportionate number of women to men in them. Men are hard to reach and heavily influenced by the opinions of their peers and work friends. Pray for the missionaries there they do it tough. The winter weather can be ferocious. The cost of living is exorbitant. They need help to stay there and endure all these hardships. The see little fruit compared to many other fields. Pray that the Lord would send more laborers and open a door to the hearts and souls of the Japanese people.

God told me he wants for nothing, WAYNE.

God told me he wants for nothing, WAYNE.

Your initial question "what does God want" and the phrase you previously used, "to want for" have two different meanings. Considers such phrases as "Whoever has God wants for nothing" and "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want".

Your misunderstanding of this is truly worrying. I shall pray for wisdom to come upon you.

God doesn't want anything from you Wayne.

It is your desire to dominate other people, not God's. The rest of the world will not accept your desire to control it.

You are mistaken. God wants many different things from us, for instance he wants us to "Love the Lord God with all your heart" and to "love your neighbour as yourself". And lets not forget the Great Commission.

It is your desire to dominate other people, not God's. The rest of the world will not accept your desire to control it.

If it was infact my desire then you are correct. But as it is not, you are incorrect.
