At the risk of being overly simplistic, though, I will say the following. In general, I do not see Spaniards as being comparatively open to the Gospel at present. A big part of this does indeed have to do with being "innoculated" by abusive religion being "crammed down their throats" for many years. I think that economic prosperity also plays a part. There are also specific areas of spiritual bondage and blindness related to years of idolatry and repression of the truth. And, then, there are still many false conceptions and prejudices that link evangelicals to cult groups and prosperity Gospel extremists. <BR/><BR/>At the same time, there are some encouraging signs that God is up to something new with the arrival of many evangelical immigrants, from places like Latin America and Romania. Unfortunately, I have not perceived that Spaniards, in general, are necessarily becoming any more open to the Gospel at the same time, though. However, the potential for sowing the Gospel seed more widely exists with a greater contingent of Gospel sowers. And, I am hopeful that the sowing of the Gospel seed will not "return void." In many ways, I also believe that Spain is at the center of much of what God is doing in the world today, being an international crossroads for Europe, Latin America, and the Muslim world.David Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11701934251748260267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22575956.post-25852335796897513092008-05-21T12:03:00.000-05:002008-05-21T12:03:00.000-05:00Do you find people there open to the gospel, or in...Do you find people there open to the gospel, or innoculated by religion? I hear stories of how some areas are open to the gospel today.Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637750764381837761noreply@blogger.com
