I seldom post replies, but this topic so happen to bite me. Let
me say this first: i am not an anti- christ. What happened is that,
sometime back, a friend of mine (guy) fell for this girl, who
happen to be a non- christian. But she not anti- christ... she
infact, encouraged him to continue his faith, go cell group, get
involved with the church activities... they were actually doing
fine, until guy decided to tell his brothers after cell group. His
so-called brothers, would have almost wacked him, they were yelling
at him, saying all kinds of stuff: "i am so disappointed in you",
"she is not meant to be", "you have changed"... No one in his cell
group were happy for him, happy that he found love after being
single for so many years. Then the brothers decided to tell their
pastor about it, then that very night, he received messages from
his churchmates, saying things like "if she's not a christian, then
is not wat God has meant for you, meaning, this relationship will
not work out". They were telling him to just give it up, dump the
girl.
My point is, what ever religion it is, i though we were supposed to
be sharing this "love", "care", etc.... so that you can probably
impress people well enough to be interested in your religion? How
can u spread the teachings by drawing lines, boundaries and
controlling your heart?
One of the explanation my christian friend gave was that, you must
find someone of the same faith, so you will not sway or drift
further from God, so that it is "meant" to be. but if your faith is
firm enough, why worry? I have seen how a non- christian was
converted into a christian becoz his wife had been patient and
prayful.
guy dumped girl, coz cannot take the stress, girl upset, but can
understand, but girl has totally changed her perception of
christians.... is that what and how it should be? Instead of using
this opportunity to let someone get to know this religion better,
she was being pushed away. Talking about salvation....
Then, some of the die hard christians, have anti- christ parents at
home, dun dare to tell parents that they are christians, so choose
to lie, deceit... sometimes even deny. So what happened to the
Filia Piety part? the explanation i got is that: you can't choose
your parents. Ya, i get that, but u chose to lie, to deceit... that
is just as wrong.
someone pls change my perception too, coz being taught in a
missionary school for 11years, i am honestly very disappointed in
how the message is being spread nowadays....
