I know your reply doesn't refer to me but I would like to share my view.

I never blame God for what had happened to me, big problem or small problem. All I do is through prayer, move His hand to restore things to be better.

The thing is when things don't turn out after you have put your faith in, but more and more problems coming out, you might wonder if it's God's will, and you might wonder if your prayers are not pleasing, or something wrong with your prayers. And whenever you see your christian fellows, or even non-christians, getting what they want, you might want to do something and ask from God giving you the same. Please take note, things that I refer to now is not straight As in SPM or STPM or CGPA or entering which top Uni or big company, I'm merely asking for a simple family. That's all.

If you did trace back the post I shared a little bit earlier on, check out the website and see how many women out there, faithfully and genuinely loving their husbands, having intimate relationship since their dating stage but out of a sudden, after 5 years of marriage, their husbands have affair with another women, some husbands even shifted out and left the children behind.

If this husband is predestined to betray the wife, why would God allows them to get married? Have you seen people who face too much of stress and disappointments and in the end they cry fainted and go insane?

I would rather my life go simple, than to have a very blessed and wonderful beginning but in the end huge disappointment, like a huge rock drops on your body.

The higher you have faith in something, the painful you feel. Some people who are proud and stubborn, little bit of failure will boost up their motivation to grow, but to those who are having simple life all along, these disappointments are just too much for them to bear, which is not helpful in moulding a person's life.

Brother, you no need to sleep meh? Replied my post at 5.04am!

Well, the initial motive i asked this question isn't that I do not understand, I just wanted to point out the confusing matters aroused among christians. I also want to say if eating offered food doesn't make you sin, then why are there christians arguing this? Apparently this has so much to do with sin, Paul also mentions about this that taking offered food has something to do according to the people of little faith or strong faith.

And, I don't think you need to clarify to me alone, or other forumers who are reading this, because there are MANY more christians are arguing about this. If Christ has been emphasizing the importance of faith, that salvation is gained by faith etc, then there won't be so many churches are trying to "theoreticalize" the teachings.

Hope someone can help me out here. I'm not a christian but I do believe in christianity and god. Would love to make my 1st step into christianity but i do not know where to start. Duno which church to attend as I do not have close friends that I can tagged along to church.

Nearby PJ ss2..I don't know what am I suppose to do when I walk In because I'm not a christian. And I guess, everyone who go for the service is a christian. I have never really been to a church service before.

I am an agnostic here. I do not understand why the religious scriptures that originated from Middle East such as Torah, Talmud, Bible and Koran contained violent teachings and injunctions? I tried the Old Testament, read it and cannot accept how can a "god of mercy" condoned the genocide, massacre and atrocious treatment towards certain inhabitants like the Canaanites, Amorites, etc? This is quite absurd.

I think that parts of Old Testament were Jewish myth that seek to condemn their enemies. Anyone can have better explanation? I do not want the explanation of periodic difference such as warfare period and grace period(New Testament). This is not so solid arguments.


Bro, wrong thread. I believe you can get the answers you seek in RWI.

I know. But can a Christian marry a non believer?(I know yes u can, but it is encouraged by the religion?) What if she/he does. Will he/she be subjected to scorn or treated as a traitor to the religion? That's all i want to know.

well i also want to know. i got a lot of Family member marry with other Religions.
From what i know. once you Leave Christian, you cannot re-enter Christian. i think same goes for other Religion.
If there's any knowledgeable ppl here.. please enlighten us here..

well it's true.. no hard feeling..

My refutations was deleted. Yes, I am a skeptic agnostic and open to criticism. And no, you didn't refute me in any way, sir. You merely attempt to explain away the OT. My apology if I hurt you in any way. How about you move this thread to "Serious Kopitiam"?

But deleting my comments, that's odd, just like banning of books and literature.
So, you know the "truth" then?

Hi everyone, i'm curious but would like know this first before anything:

Is this the kind of religion thread for sharing purpose, to let us all know more about GOD thru explanation and sharing of theories and sometimes debating with believers of agnosticism/atheism/other religions?

Or to unite christian at /k?

Disclaimer:
I'm not a Basher who is trying to deny your claims of whatsoever
I know /k is full of ppl fond of calling others slowpoke/stupid/mediocre/fool/ignorant/blablabla

The topic at RWI is generally for all religions. I would prefer a topic for each religion, so that I can refute them all. I cannot use my arguments against the Koran for the Bible, vice versa.

Sorry guys, and Moderator too.

Bro, this is not a good place to discuss this issues. Mainly because they're many Christians here from different denominations with different doctrine.Don't ever think "Christians" can be grouped. They're just way too many teaching that's out of the way of the real teaching.

Best way? Pick up the bible and read it up for yourself (NKJV or ESV is the better translation due to the way they translate it. KJV is usable but mostly in old english so a bit hard to understand). If you don't understand get a commentary.

Finding a pastor to guide you is the best way, that person then must be someone who expound from the scriptures itself, meaning no own thoughts put into the expounding.

then even worst, he must be here snooping out for virgins cause most of christian girl preserve until marry

some no more go church..some oversea..

tak faham la..can elaborate further?

Is wat this guy say true? Jesus is islam and he got say "i will build my islam"??
