i saw a lot of new chrisitans wanting to look for church come here to ask about this church or that.
and non christians hoping for a new life, this forum probably give them encouragement to join church.
my message here is to warn them that the grass is not greenier on the other side. I want to prevent already hurt people who were abused, drug addicts, former prostitutes, destitutely poor from getting further hurt. I am in better position so its my social obligation to help. And don't teach me about giving aid, i know more than that than you. I've participated in buddhist societies to help the poor in Klang Bus Station area...i also help christians before in their aid to provide to Myanmmar refugees. I've gone to org asli area to assist christians to provide tution and edu aid even though i not chrsitian.
sometimes the church or hollywood tend to portray church going people as perfect, honest, friendly and give new hope in the newcomer.
but i am trying to tell them that the people at the church are not perfect and there are politics there.
i care about the people who are about to hurt themselves thinking they will find new life in the church people...
i am not saying that people won't find new life in your god, they probably will. but if they expecting encouragement from the church leaders, not everybody is perfect. well maybe there are good guys in the church but there are bad guys too.
yes i am offensive at least i am honest.
i used to know a lot of frens at school who are suicidal and have pre marital pregnancies go to church ot seek new life...but i am trying to forewarn them that the people in some of the churches are political.
but my message also have a good side, i am telling them to go to a better church...if they see the first signs of a church of asssholes...please leave...i am very sure there are nice churches like the one in gombak called metro tab church...i met a lot of nice people from there.
All of us help others in one way or another. I do and I don't go around boasting about it either using as a leverage like how you do here.
On the other hand there are many Christians are opposite of what you are claiming here.
If you know you're not perfect, you have no right to accuse others of your expectation. That is a simple principal.
I am beginning to suspect that you have a
self righteousness problem, judging from all your stories.
Because it's quite obvious, you think you have done a lot to help society and that give you some sort of "weight" that if anyone in Church, doesn't recognize you or your opinion or go against you for that matter, you lambaste all out crying hurt and hypocrisy and you don't even realize you have become the very thing you hate of others of.
Did I just check you out, it's so obvious?
And what you do is not right either. You are causing hatred, resentment and division. All recognized Churches are Institution of God, pending the cults.
We are called to love and pray for one another,
even for the difficult and hypocritical Christians, regardless if they are leaders or Pastors, so that there is a good change. Yes it's that difficult and challenging, I know but God wants unity not division. But it must start from loving your enemies, not pushing them away in resentment and hatred.
Unforgiveness begets many evils. You're not really helping. You're choosing the easy way out.
Though you may think you're doing a good cause but you are really causing more problems than helping.
Partly I don't blame you, You don't think that God can change situations and thus resort to Man's way.
Like I said, God's Church must follow suit God's way, not Man's way.
