I think as rational humans, we want to say that it's never okay to share the Gospel when there's so much danger involved. However, when is it alright to (illegally) share the Gospel?

For the people in this community who do not agree with what he did, do you have any better ideas of how this marine can share the Gospel with the Iraqis?

Please everybody, be careful before you judge and condemn this Marine who wanted to share Christ. Remember that God will judge the way you share (or don't share) Christ, as well.

There's been Iraqi Christians for 2,000 years who could spread the Gospel there without Evangelicals trying to convert both them and the Muslims.

Google "Assyrians", "Chaldean Catholics" and "Iraqi Orthodox."
