If the Christian god wants his word spread far and wide?

Question

why did he not send messengers to far reaches around the same time the bible takes place and avoid bloodshed? Wouldn't that have been better than allowing murder and torture of those he chose not to let hear his words?

Answer 1

shhhhh. It's a secret.

Answer 2

He did send out many people. There were an estimated 130 followers of Christ before his death, and about 500 just after his ressurrection. These people went and started churches everywhere they could get to. As they spread, so did Christ's teachings. Many of them were killed, and oppressed, and imprisoned. However, God's Word was still spread. It's often been noted by Christians that Christianity spreads better when it's oppressed than when it's left alone, because it really shows what true Christians are all about, and keeps us from getting lazy with our faith. Bloodshed is a result of sin in the world. Until He returns, it will continue to be a problem, even places where His Word has gone.

Answer 3

you forget there's another player in the scheme of things.. and that's satan.. he's the one using men to do all the bloodshed in the name of religion

and the God's word is being spread far and wide... just look at how quickly it's being done through mass media and the internet..

This message of the goodnews is being preach far and wide by Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Jesus foretold for our day this work: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” He also instructed his followers: “Go . . . and make disciples of people of all the nations.”—Matt. 24:14; 28:19.

When Jesus sent out his early disciples, he directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matt. 10:7, 11-13) The apostle Paul said regarding his ministry: “I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house.”—Acts 20:20, 21; see also Acts 5:42.

The message that the Witnesses proclaim involves the lives of people; they want to be careful to miss no one. (Zeph. 2:2, 3) Their calls are motivated by love—first for God, also for their neighbor.

A conference of religious leaders in Spain noted this: “Perhaps [the churches] are excessively neglectful about that which precisely constitutes the greatest preoccupation of the Witnesses—the home visit, which comes within the apostolic methodology of the primitive church. While the churches, on not a few occasions, limit themselves to constructing their temples, ringing their bells to attract the people and to preaching inside their places of worship, [the Witnesses] follow the apostolic tactic of going from house to house and of taking advantage of every occasion to witness.”—El Catolicismo, Bogotá, Colombia, September 14, 1975, p. 14.

Jesus foretold that they would be met with persecution on account of this world wide preacching work.

Jesus said: “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.” (John 15:18, 19; see also 1 Peter 4:3, 4.) The Bible shows that the whole world lies under Satan’s control; he is the principal instigator of the persecution.—1 John 5:19; Rev. 12:17.

Jesus also told his disciples: “You will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name.” (Mark 13:13) The word “name” here means what Jesus officially is, the Messianic King. Persecution comes because Jehovah’s Witnesses put his commands ahead of those of any earthly ruler.

Answer 5

he did send messengers at that time and they were tortured and killed. Where did you come up with this idea?

You reference to murder and torture is also vague. To what are you referring?

Answer 6

He wants people to learn on their own.

(God is spelled with a capital "G". )

Answer 7

He did, they were called the Discipels.
