Answer 1

Well, it all had to start somewhere. The fulfillment Judaism started in Judea, with the coming of Jesus Christ, then spread throughout the Roman Empire, and then - yes - missionaries went around the world, including Japan and China.
On 15 August, 1549, St. Francis Xavier arrived in Japan, at the port of Kagoshima in Kiusiu, with two companions and three neophytes. By the boldness of his preaching, his sanctity, and his miracles, he renewed the marvels of the Apostolic age. He preached at Hirado, Yamaguchi, Bungo, and Funai, but he was unable to see the emperor or enter Miako (Kyoto). He set out for China on 20 November, 1551. In Japan there were then 3000 faithful, the feudal regime being favourable to evangelization. Ordinarily, when a prince was converted a portion of his subjects followed him. The celebrated Nobunaga (1565), the terrible enemy of the bonzes, was kindly disposed towards the Christians and a friend of the missionaries. When he died (1582) there were 200,000 faithful and 250 churches.
(*A note on Viet Nam: The reason there are so many Catholics in Viet Nam today is due to the fact that Viet Nam was once a French Colony, and France is historically a Catholic country.)

Answer 2

Actually, you need to change your wording just slightly: Hebrew Bible Roman Catholic Bible Protestant Bible The Jewish scholars finished the edition of the Hebrew Bible in about the third century. That text is included in both the RC and Prot. Bible. The order of the books is different, because of underlying assumptions. The Christian Bible (the New Testament) wasn't really nailed down until nearly the tenth century or so. After that, it was locked in. This was done in a series of Church Councils. This text is the same in both the RC and Prot. Bible, and the Old Testament is pretty much the same in either of these Bibles, except that the order may be a bit different. The only difference between the RC and Prot. Bibles is the presence of the Apocrypha -- several books that were unknown in Hebrew, but were included routinely in Greek language translations of the Old Testament that were in popular use around the time of the early Church. That Greek translation of the Old Testament (called the Septuagint) was so popular (most Jews did not at that time remember how to speak or read Hebrew anymore) that whenever you find the Old Testament quoted in the New Testament, it is always the Septuagint text they are quoting.

Answer 3

Did you know that the most popular book in China is the bible right now... and churches overflow with people that they stand outside listening to the speakers. There are many Asian Christians and the bible has mentioned "the whole world" and "all nations" meaning everywhere the word will be preached about Jesus. Jesus died for all, not just some, He went to the Jews first. But all nations will be in heaven.

Answer 4

The ones mentioned in the Bible were Jews and Gentiles...Gentiles are anyone who is not a Jew. If you find a map of the world and find the places where Jesus lived and walked, then find china, japan, vietnam and the rest of the asian lands. Now remember the fact that where ever Jesus and his disciples went they had to walk or go by boat. Now remember how their boats were made at that time. It wasn't that Jesus couldn't have done it but what he chose to do was set up a plan that would reach all people in all nations. He made disciples who then went and made disciples who they went and made disciples...etc.
Also realize that vietnam and china and those asian places are still communist countries and the Christians are still persecuted and put to death for thier faith. So the church is still underground and secretive.
A few months ago there was a convention for pastors in China and there were some requirments. First you had to be a pastor but secondly they had to have a church of 500,000 people in thier church. There were 9 million pastors who showed up for the convention. Add that up! 9 million pastors
each having a church of at least 500,000 people. Even though the church is underground it is growing in mass amounts!!!
So God's truth and his Word is spread worldwide!!

Answer 6

Open your Bible to the book of Job. Read Chapter 1 verses 1-3. Also Genesis Chapter 29 verse 1, Judges chapter 6 verse 3, 1Kings chapter 4:30. These all mention Easterners or Orientals in their text. Also you have to consider the government that dictates over there. I don't believe freedom of religion was popular with them back then.

Answer 7

You won't find Buddha in the Bible. The Bible is geared to only one religion. And, No, considering in the time of Jesus, and Jesus' financial status, it took a loooonnnnggg time to go long distances.....He(they) never made it that far. Besides, The oldest human remains were that of an Asian descent. So, they had there own beliefs before Jesus ever came along.

Answer 8

Jesus told his disciples ( learners) that they would perform works greater than did he. Jesus ( "The Great Teacher") only influenced a very narrow area of the Jewish nation, with only hundreds following his instruction on how to please their heavenly father. He commanded them to proclaim the good news of God's kingdom to ALL the nations until the whole world had heard his loving message (Matt. 28: 19, 20. And Matt. 24: 14). It has taken God a patient 2000 yrs., but now the entire globe has been exposed to his grand proclamation. "Come. Drink life's water free."
The Bible is an Oriental book. Read the book of Job, "...the greatest of the Orientals."

Answer 9

No, the Gospel did not travel to the eastern parts of Asia until after the biblical cannon was closed. The Bible only discusses the "known world": Egypt to Ethiopia in Africa, much of the middle east and modern-day Iran in Asia, and the area of modern-day Italy and Greece in Europe.

Answer 10

It was too far away. One of the Apostles is supposed to have died in India. If that means something to you. They made it to the immediate area of the Middle East, The Mediterranean coast, Africa, and Asia Minor because those places were close. Thy had 'relatives' there. Paul was a Jew from Tarsus, in Southern Turkey. That's Asia Minor.

There weren't any disciples that were from China, or Japan that we know of.
