Why do churches send out missionaries to "witness" to tribal people? If people that haven't heard about Jesus yet won't go to hell because of thier ignorance of Jesus, then telling them about Jesus makes it possible for them to go to hell, when it wasn't possible before. Wouldn't it be better to just leave them alone and let them go to heaven?

More people believing in Christianity = More money flowing to the Church.
Christianity is a business. They advertise by harassing other people and shoving their beliefs down everyone's throats.

I am Christian and I don't want people to go to hell.
I also believe that it isn't just Christians who will receive salvation.
Tribal people will not go to hell if they never hear about Jesus. And they won't if some missionary tells them about Christ.
Don't generalize.

I can tell by your avatar scowl that you are delightful person wanting the truth, not just making fun of Christians.: )
Why do you think that only people that have been told are susceptible to Hell?
People can see God all around them.
The question is...what are you going to do about the knowledge of God that you know?
Turn your scowl into joy, accept Him today!

Christians don't want people to go to hell. That's you're choice. Christians are just telling you THIER concept of how NOT to.
If you don't want to listen, that's up to you.
If you don't want to believe that's up to you.

More converts mean more money coming into their churches. It also helps them increase their numbers to appear more legitimate. It has nothing to do with saving souls and everything to do with converts and money.
I had one lady tell me she wouldn't go over to help the Tsunami victims if she wasn't allowed to witness to them.
That speaks volumes of their true intentions, I think.

They don't want people to go to hell. They just want everyone on earth to be a christian.

No, we do not. We want people to have a choice and a change to experience what it is to be a child of God with all the blessings and comfort He offers.You are so silly. What about the hope and love they can experience already here? Personal relationship with God can start here.

Good point.
But they just don't want to risk having all of us lowly people in heaven with them.

If you don't agree with them, that's where you belong. ( according to them, not me )
