Pastor,

I thought the following verses were really interesting considering you are talking here about culture differences and how they might affect our evangelistic approach to different people groups…

One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
(Titus 1:12-13)

It seems to me that Paul basically “profiled” the Cretians according to what they said about themselves. Then he suggested Titus tailor his approach to them due to their cultural tendencies. Do you think I am stretching this?
