EVERYONE thinks that they are kind and compassionate.
No one believes that they are the villain

If you refuse to recognize Jesus as your Lord, then you are not as kind and compassionate as you believe you are

>Spanish were planning to invade China and use Christianity as a tool to create a subservient population there
First off, This is false.
They were planning to invade China *in the name of Christianity

It was universally panned by the Jesuits, who already have a thriving community of Christians there.. They called out Spain's plan as "Conquest masquerading as Faith"

Also, it was cancelled after the Spanish Armada was decimated by a storm

Secondly, Shimabara region was already predominantly Christian because they received more favorable trade if they converted.

And thirdly,
>Jap faith
>appealed to the lower classes
LMAO
It's overwhelmingly Emperor worship like every pagan society ever.
They banned Christianity precisely because they know that they cannot beat it.
Christianity welcomes each and every critic who wants to challenge its beliefs. Not once did it ever buckled. And this is also why it shall someday convert the entire world, as it always does

Also, the Church has always aimed for the youth.
It is you guys who are weird for thinking that we shouldn't introduce Christ to God's greatest gift

Existence of tares is no reason to ruin the field

Yes, the difference is "Authority"

No civilian is allowed to enter the authorized zones
But come and say that you are with the leader, and you were granted permission to enter, and you may do so.

Jesus said it outright that he is sharing his glory with all who believe in him

Unfortunately, the devil believes in him, too!
