Tell you a true life story.
My aunt pass away. Their children convert my aunt to a
christian. At the wake, it is christian affair.
My uncle came, he's buddhist. My uncle, of course, sadden by the
lost of his sister. Went to buy coffee and food and jossstick to
offer his late sister. Nothing wrong right?
My aunt children told my uncle, : " If you want to offer prayer,
food, drinks, joss stick, please move further away and pray at one
corner."
My uncle was heart broken when heard that. Then out of sudden, a
very strong gust of wind topple the table (in fornt of her table)!
My uncle quickly offer food and joss stick at one corner and the
wind suddenly stop.
Until now, I still remember the incident.
Why when pple going to die, you then convert the going to die
pple to chris?
This is probably a tough pill for christian to swallow....modern
christian works like business organization that take only
the superficial coverts and pray and soul will be
saved. (not saying where)
here is the write up from Jung...
People have the
idea of dead know far more than we, for Christian doctrine teaches
that in the hereafter we shall see “face to face” Apparently,
however, the souls of the dead “know” only what they knew
at the moment of death and nothing beyond that. Hence
their endeavor to penetrate into life in order to share in the
knowledge of men
The continuity relationship between death and the living seemed
to continue. As such in what purposes does the relationship needs
to continue.
PS: I believe Jesus did not asked for Convert. Jesus asked for
Discipleship. So your relatives were all acting according to
premises or doctorine.
