Hey dudes and dudettes, I'll be posting pictures of the scotland trip very soon. Gonna get them from my sis tomorrow.
Hmm. Well, its about 200 pictures that she compiled, oh heck. Not gonna put them all here.
I'm gonna put some here; the featured ones i guess, and the rest in my photo album. Hehe..
(WARNING: THIS POST IS NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NARROW-MINDED)
Anyways, that aside, Xmas has been ok for me I guess. Missing the usual poolside bbq party organised by me dad annually. I miss the presents I got for Xmas. Oh well. The reason for Xmas is Jesus, presents are just a custom.
I wonder why many people of different religions celebrate Xmas. I don't see everyone celebrating Deepavali yur? Not to be racist. :P
It is a Christian celebration. The societies of this world has been blinded it seems. Oh well.
Hmm. Sometimes, my headstrong Christian beliefs cause some trifles with people. Hm, if I can't even stand up for what is real to me, how can I face God when we face judgement? Am i gonna tell Him "Sorry, I didn't stand up for you cuz I wanted to please people.." Nope. Not gonna do that.
I've probably told many people the miracles He has done for me. Miracles beyond logical reasoning. The night my family was visited by angels(ask me what happened if ya want), the funding of my family's education(S$250,000 of free uni education), the exemption to fight for a non-christian country(I dun have to go to army even though I gotta Gold for Napfa Test... MUAHHAHA), etc...
I never thought God was real when I was little. I always questioned His existence.
But now, beyond a doubt, after the things I realised He did for my family, I know He is very real.
I have a friend in a church called the True Jesus Church. They proclaim that only people from their church go to heaven. Blinded. They say I am blinded. What of the part of the bible that says not to judge your fellow brother? They then say I am not their brother.
I wonder how true this True Jesus Church is. Well, lets not judge. Leave that to God i suppose.
Conflicts between Christians. I wonder what is the definition of Christians then? Protestants and Catholics. Whats the major diff? We all believe in the same God. True Jesus Church or whatever. We're still believing in the same God.
Its just pure stupid that there are conflicts.
They all argue which path leads to everlasting life and which leads to eternal damnation at the depths of hell.
Everyone goes either of the two ways.
In my own words, the path to salvation is the simplest. Love God with all your heart. Loving him makes the life worth living. As socrates, the philosopher said, "The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living."
All the babble about which denomination receives salvation is unnecessary, if ya ask me.
Alright, enough of my self-rightous talk. I might sound very much of that to you, but I do stand up for my Creator. Sorry if I did touch a raw nerve.
God is VERY REAL. I had been in the shoes of uncertainty, doubt and skeptism before.
I know how creepy things can be. Things turns out to be blessings. Not that creepy i suppose. Hehe.
Here's to those in True Jesus Church. Your church was founded in the 1900s. So that means everyone living from AD 100 - 1900 was damnned to Hell in your context. Thats an awful lot of people. Hm. The God that I know doesn't take 1900 years to start saving people.
Talking in tongues? Do it in your own home. Don't scare away new people in church. Thats not what God would want us to do. Instead, prophesize.
It kinda amazes me how people discern the fact that every "Christian" should be able to talk in tongues. I'd rather prophesize and save more people that way, passing on the Gospel, than to babble in a strange tongue just for my own benefit. It kinda amazes me that people are talking in tongues, more than any other gift, when the bible states that there are many other gifts. Why is this the only one that surfaces in this society? Easy. Lack of discernment and fear of unaccpentence. Putting your own welfare first to obtain acceptance and standing ain't what I would discern to be a role model for a Chistian. So fakers who don't know that they are fakers, I pray that you receive discernment. That would be the most impt gift ya need now.
Society and its obligation to influence. Group talk and influence.
God bless. Amen. And again, sorry if i had offended anyone. I did warn ya. Heh heh. :)
