Syncretism

Syncretism is a religious belief that is more believed and practiced in the foreign countries. There known to be spirits, magic and witch craft, and sacrifices. In the area where they have all these different beliefs it is best to go in and not to change things right away; but to get to know the people and observe to find out what they believe. We can’t just step in and change these people’s beliefs. I think it is very important to tell them about the gospel and Jesus and we have to make sure we wait until we make relationships with the people. I believe that we should go there learning and come out as the teachers. We can make syncretism less practiced by getting more people willing to go and learn about the lifestyles and then teach them who to really worship over time. Syncretism is very hard because people do learn about God and who he is, but they don’t really drop all their beliefs. Instead they add it to what they already believe and continue holding on to the practices and beliefs that mean nothing. All we can really do to stop and make less syncretism is really stepping out there and doing God’s work the best we can and teach them about God.
