To SumOne... I think tat it will be better for u to condense all
your replies into 1 reply so it is an easier read.
Maybe I remembered wrongly, but you mentioned before that when
you were young you used to be brought to churches and all. So
you're proof in itself that this statement is not necessarily true.
Unless you want to say whatever you said last time were lies.
About going to churches and all... I don't believe I had said
tat. I can only say I got go to churches on a few occasions during
my JC times which my friends have asked me to go as well as being
in a Catholic Secondary school for 4 years. However I am brought up
being "godless" till secondary school and do not know wat is the
difference between christian and others etc untill after U. U may
find it is funny tat I do not think of religion in secondary school
but it is really true since being "godless" I cannot appreciate wat
religion is about and the tales being told sounds really foreign to
me. Furthermore I am a video gamer and spend a lot of time playing
games and nothing else
. It is only when a
few people knock on the door and asking me to convert then I
realise tat there r people who really believe in it !
If u have heard other tales about me, then I can assure u it is
wrong
To add to to that, there are people who are brought up as
non-christians, but they chose to become christians later on. Which
further adds to the lack of truth in your statement. I hope you're
not going to say something like,"Such people are easily brainwashed
in the first place." Or ,"Such people are dumb, that's why they can
be made to believe in Christianity."
Tat is true, but one of the messages they receive is on the
aspect of eternal life. I did not say that these people r stupid
etc, but eternal life is one of the core messages and reason for
the belief of christianity. If u see the banner outside chruches
(if there is any) surely one of them mention eternal life
Ha ha ha. Unfair advantage? Man, what a riot
Look at city harvest and all those properity gospel and u will
know tat wat I have said is right
As it is with some anti-religionists (I do not use the term
atheists here). So what's your point? Everyone chooses what they
want to believe.
True. But I can say wat I felt isn't it ? At least I don't go
around and just perform personal attacks just because we sit on
different side of the fence.
I think a lot of other christians have given you reasons to be
christians other than the heaven and hell reason. Just like in the
post above yours. You just chose to happily ignore such posts.
There r 3 replies, the first one, sadly, I do not know and do
not want to find out (sorry icemoon). The second one do touch on
the word "assurance?" and for chin eng, he may not believe for
heaven and hell but my point tat there r many people who believe in
christianity because of heaven and hell is not far from the
truth
as a child I was
1. Not taught that god exists. I was born into a taoist/buddhist
rojak family. My parents never insist that I follow them to
temples.
2. Never interested in any religion, Christianity included.
strangely, I also never gave a thought to heaven and earth and
hell.
also strangely, back in those days, there is no such thing as
wealth and health gospel; neither was there any message of
believe-in-God-and-you-will-succeed-gospel.
I did not become a Christian because of a childhood
brain-washed-environment nor was it because I fear eternal
punishment, nor was it because of eternal wealth. I become a
Christian because God is God.
I still hold to that belief.
Why not Islam or buddhist or other religion ? I ask tis because
there seems to be a lack of info on why u become christian... At
least your answer beg more questions than answering
anything...
