I wonder if hillsong is coming to malaysia again?

i m a chirstian turned atheist. am i welcomed?

cross is a mere symbolic item. Like rosary for the angelicans. it only matter if you are using that for personal gain.

sadly its denominations that separate all the christians apart. There are even christians suing christians.

you are so very wrong. Those that preach about how about themselves and waste time discriminating about each other's religion rather than to spread the Message, those are the false prophets..

Methodology is the reason why there are many denominations branch out from the original..But that does not justify what these denominated churches are practising is true or wrong.. Only He have the right to judge.

u r so un-christian now..

its just mere mortal 's illustrations for the glorified beings created by God.
they need not jet pack.. the word almighty already are overwhelming.

and now you question about God's authority?

that is why there all so many denominations out there.
They argue and debate just about everything out there when God gave them a mission to spread the Good News to the lost souls.
I mean no offense but what is the point of debating who is right and who is wrong among yourself when there are still lots of things to do?
which has more heavier conviction? having to debate which is right or wrong? or spread the Good News?

so?
after you won the debate or you successfully justify that what you utter is correct, does that make you God's favorite citizen?
come on la.. since you guys are so well verse on the New Testament, why not practice what is inside instead of just debating about the contents?

no la.. we are all open adults.. haha..
you and i are saved by the grace of His love for us.

Do you still remember that when Jesus call upon his first disciple, Peter?
when Peter is still fishing, Jesus call him to follow him? along with his brother Simon..

and the story of a rich guy whom could not let go of all his riches to follow Jesus?

all i want to say is, Jesus give all of you a very simple instruction to follow. To love his people and to be loved by Him.

where am i coming from?
Mutual respect can only be achieved when there is mutual understanding.
Pray and you will know how to practice..

seems we all have mutual understanding after all..

if your conscience allows you to count how many times you sin, then you also should know what is called shameful right?
and yes, grace will cover ALL your sin as He promised.

Grace itself is a manifestation of Jesus's authority to forgive sinners and make them pure. In short, its his love for all mankind. If there is a limit in His grace, then first thing people would ask, does this means His love is limited as well?

Matthew 5:19-20
“Trivialize even the smallest item in God’s Law and you will only have trivialized yourself. But take it seriously, show the way for others, and you will find honor in the kingdom. Unless you do far better than the Pharisees in the matters of right living, you won’t know the first thing about entering the kingdom.

Exodus 20
The Message (MSG)
20 1-2 God spoke all these words:

3 No other gods, only me.

4-6 No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim. Don’t bow down to them and don’t serve them because I am God, your God, and I’m a most jealous God, punishing the children for any sins their parents pass on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those who hate me. But I’m unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me and keep my commandments.

7 No using the name of God, your God, in curses or silly banter; God won’t put up with the irreverent use of his name.

8-11 Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Work six days and do everything you need to do. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God, your God. Don’t do any work—not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your maid, nor your animals, not even the foreign guest visiting in your town. For in six days God made Heaven, Earth, and sea, and everything in them; he rested on the seventh day. Therefore God blessed the Sabbath day; he set it apart as a holy day.

12 Honor your father and mother so that you’ll live a long time in the land that God, your God, is giving you.

13 No murder.

14 No adultery.

15 No stealing.

16 No lies about your neighbor.

17 No lusting after your neighbor’s house—or wife or servant or maid or ox or donkey. Don’t set your heart on anything that is your neighbor’s.

Just a recap for you on what the commandment was all about. Not following means you are not serious about following Jesus if that is what i think it is.
If you trust only in the NT on Jesus's teachings but disregard what was told in the OT, then you are mistaken. Both needs to be observe. What you see on the first five commandments was about God and you. And the rest of the five was about you and society. and what was teach in the NT was the simplified version of the OT. Jesus can never take out what was given by His Father nor anyone else.

haha.. i was trying to tell you.. that 10 commandment was to be observe altogether with OT's teachings. Neither one should be taken away nor forgotten.
because here got two faction ma.. one say 10 commandment is the way, the other says Jesus teachings is the way..
but from my understanding, perhaps shallow.. haha.. is that Jesus is the manifestation of God's glory and love towards mankind. Does not mean that now got new teachings and the old teachings can be shut off in the closets.

because he is the only righteous man around at that time?

k understand.
how about we all start a new topic to debate on?
so many senior here. enlighten me a bit lo.

as your sharing includes your signature which makes most of us hungry now..
