rane SG Not wise to make rigid plan if the plan can be a flexible one. Guess in life be it relationship or others if possible (depends on the nature) if we choose to be flexible, we can be happier people! La, la, la, time to let our hair down, it's Saturday! Umm, nice weather, time to go and enjoy!
AndrewPKYap SG The trick is to live with eternity AND a moment in time at the same instance! I can do it but I don't know how to teach somebody else how to do that! It is a real headache!
rane SG HUh, live with eternity and a moment in time at the same instance! Sounds very like Christianity - don't understand this statement, care to explain? To live for the moment and prepare for the future is what I think is necessary. The past serves as a reference and experiences that we learn to put in use for the moment and future.
AndrewPKYap SG Christianity is accept Christ or you go to hell, according to the mainstream Churches. Do you agree that everything is subject to change? That everything that you know and believe in is subject to change?
AndrewPKYap SG Buddhism does not believe in "Eternity" does it? There is no "Eternity" in Buddhism is there?
AndrewPKYap SG Mainstream Christianity believes in Eternity only in terms of Jesus and only in terms of Eternity after death, doesn't it? This world is "ruined" by sin and so there is no hope for this world. How can you live Eternity in this instance while you are here on earth?
rane SG Andrew, i suggest you ask the christians re the above question. They have lots of theory, many of which are not practical and realistic.
AndrewPKYap SG I think Christians are not allowed to think for themselves. They are supposed to accept a set of beliefs and that's it. No questions asked. All their debates are conducted within their set of beliefs. They are not allowed to question their beliefs. The minute they question their beliefs, they are no longer accepted as Christians or they will be labeled as cults. I think it is such a waste because I study what Jesus taught and there is so much to learn.
AndrewPKYap SG BTW even the moderators are scared of religious people.http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=231064
rane SG Hi, Andrew, moderators are not the only ones that are scared of religious people, they are many others as well. Some religious people are so extreme one good example is those terrorists who killed innocent lives.
rane SG Agree with what you said above. Christianity is rather "tyranny" and brainwashing! Even my catholic friend told me christianity is brainwashing. My other catholic friend told me the bible is outdated. I was invited to church (christian) and attended service for a no of years. I saw more of the ugly side of christians than the good side, and this is contradicting to the teaching of God. Many christians don't practice love as God wants them to. During church meetings they shouted, argue and quarreled with one another for differences and power, aiyo! Christians consider those who don't worship the same God as them are to go to hell and many of them condemn non christians and their religions. Hey, christians bear in mind not all christians go to heaven OK, so watch your words, actions, attitudes and thinking.
rane SG hey, you talked about religion here, too. I don't purposely bring up topic on religion, u post a link to website that talk about Jesus, that's why I asked if you are spreading the word thru this forum. You are so contradicting!
AndrewPKYap SG When you accuse people (not just "religious people" but people of a particular religion) of "brainwashing" you have crossed a line and the mod is right, it must stop!
Devil1976 SG Pls people... No more arrowing.... The religious discussion just have to stop here. And stop shooting each other already... Doesn't matter now.. Just stop can liao okie?
rane SG andrew, don't post a weblink that talk about Jesus or so on on religion in your reply to me or to any where on this forum so you will not get reply you don't like to see. It is so misleading! Or am I touching the raw!>!>? Hi, moderator, do you welcome or allow pple post a weblink here that touch on religion for eg, talk about Jesus? If the threadstarter does not want ppl to talk about religion think he should not post such a link. By posting such a link, what is the threadstarter insinuating I question his motive. Generally speaking for accusing anyone, I don't think this forum should be used for any religious work like evangelism and so on. We practise religious harmony and freedom in Singapore and our govt is putting effort to maintain religious harmony.
