text: where would we be now if christ told his followers not to go out and seek converts to a new religion? consider, if you would, that instead of telling his followers to go house to house, to spread his father's teachings, even to the jews, he told them to simply wait for others to come to them, where would we be today?  would christianity be as spread out as it is, or would it have died out? we would be a sorry state.but look at the account of the unprofitable servant,he was cursed by god and then cast into hell.and what was he guilty of ? doing absolutely nothing.he wasn"t a thief,liar,or immoral.he was just unprofitable because he did nothing.
