Amazing, how Paul prophecized that all Asians would turn from God and thus be doomed to eternal punishment.  Bad news for all the Asians out there.  Does it apply to Pacific Islanders?  I'd like to know if there is hope for my Filipino wife, since she has been very poorly educated in Paul and refuses to obey her husband.  Since she's really only half Filipino is there a chance she's only partially turned her back on God?  Since the turning  away was permanent, should we even bother with missionary work or humanitarian aid to Asia?
