Responses to the Japanese Home Page "Who is Christ?"
I put this page on the web on 8 Oct. Since then, it has been opened 135 times. My estimate is 20 - 30 Americans in the States opened it, about 20 people from my web server and web search companies (Yahoo, Info Seek, etc), 70-80 Japanese (non-Christians and people belonging to denominations) opened it. 3 individuals responded to my page. Two of them asked questions about the Bible. One individual asked for a bible correspondence course. The page consists of a variety of topics: Differences between the "religion" of Christianity and the Bible, Bible Correspondence Course, Questions and Answers, Christian Counseling, Reason for believing in God, English Class, The Origin of Christmas, The Message from the Bible (God's Love), Something to Think About, Dialogues between "Christians" and non-Christians, and Introducing Yokota church of Christ.
