QUOTE(kron_ka @ Jan 22 2016, 11:17 PM) Then you are proving my point to be true. The church is going the wrong direction by telling people to serve to receive their blessing. The church are not pin pointing and addressing what's plaguing their congregation. They are not finding the root cause of the burn out and tiredness the church is facing. I can't say that is a wrong direction because even Jesus came to serve and not to be serve. (Matthew 20:28 - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.")Serving at the church and confessing at altar alone is not going to solve people's problem and iron out their sins. You know what's the solution to unforgiveness and grudges? Its not by reading the word alone or participating in church work, its putting Jesus's kindness into practice. Like fellowship and edifying one another. What happen to the camaderie, the laughter? the accountability? As what tinararhian said? But coming back to what you said about principalities. If its really that some of these christians are not receiving their blessings due to grudges and unforgiveness, then how would you explain why we christians, chinese and DAP are receiving all the hatred and abuse from the ruling party and PAS? Is it because we have forgiveness in our hearts that we are facing persecution? Serving helps us take our eyes of the problem of self. And I agree with you at the same time Church Also should build the congregation and the fellowship. My only take on this is that I don't think DUMC is that bad. Yes you're right, the solution to unforgiveness is to do as what you say but vice versa it should also apply to you to be an example. if you can forgive then act that you have forgiven. Work within the Church and be humble Kron even though you may be right and others is wrong. If you believe God can lift you up establish you in Church then believe that and work your Faith into action with the camaraderie, the laughter as a testimony against those you think has wrong you. The Political situation are the works of principalities as a whole, this world after all is still in control by the Devil as the head over unbelievers. When there believers in the midst, it only means spiritual warfare with regards to the nation. They can still do this because we're still living in this fallen world, satan is still the god of the world and he will refuse to give up ground. With regard to believer's life of the problem of unanswered prayers, We Must repent our mindset from thinking God does not want to answer our prayers or that God refuse to heal us. Satan will always oppose us regardless. Why do you think the Bible states that the devil is like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour? (1 Peter 5:8). What do you think Seeking means? It means he's always seeking opportunity and whomever he can devour. And the flipside is also true. There will be people whom he can't devour and that would mean he will continue to seek those that he can. That is why the Bible says Take up the Shield of Faith. Why do you think The whole Armour of God is about standing your ground? Twice in the book of ephesians, it mention the word "STAND". Standing on your ground means don't give up believing in God for answered prayers. To conflict with Stand would mean there will be enemy opposing your stand. Hope this helps you. |

Bible Study
FREEDOM QUOTE 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV) - Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Hi, how is everyone?Word of encouragement for today. Digest it and take it to heart. We have freedom in Christ, Amen? This coincide with this verse John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. What it means is that; when you carry the Lord with you everywhere you go, (ie That practicing relationship with God). When you get to know who God is (that He is really a Good God) and you believe in his word (all his promises, what He says); the revelation of His word will naturally impart Faith to you; because you know you have God's backing, supporting you, you can face life without fear. The Holy Spirit goes into work in your life. This is part and parcel of the Shalom, wholesome peace that Christ came to give you. The life that you're meant to live in. When the Son of God sets you free, you are FREE indeed. BELIEVE it people of God. I've checked, the word Freedom is related in context to the Word Slavery in Galatians 5:1. They are both nouns. So that means you can interchange Slavery with addictions, smoking, bad habits, oppression, etc. Christ came to set you free from the bondage and all the weaponry of the enemy. Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. God Bless.

Found a good article to read
Is Judaism the oldest religion? First of all, even though God did create Adam and did place a special calling, promise and blessing on Abraham and his descendants, the Bible doesn’t say that “God created all this in Jewish form.” When God created Adam, Judaism was not in complete form yet, even though Judaism would descend from Adam and Abraham’s blood. Judaism carefully traces its roots all the way back to the creation of the universe, and the creation of man, connecting Adam to Abraham. This started out as oral tradition which was written down much, much later. So that needs to be taken into account. Second, even among scholars of the writings of the Vedas, there is some dispute about when the actual writings of the Vedas were written. Some of them might date back to 1500 BC, but some Biblical scholars date the Exodus of the Hebrews around this time. Conservative Biblical scholars (and I) hold that Moses was the primary author of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible.) This would date the Pentateuch as being as old as some of the Vedas. But it is true that Christianity was started with Christ or, technically, after his resurrection. The New Testament was written in the first century. So, in one sense, one might claim that Hinduism is older than “CHRISTianity” because it dates back before Christ. [However, Christianity’s roots are in Judaism, which, again, traces its roots all the way back to the first man and woman.] But if a Hindu apologist uses the phrase “Hinduism is older than Christianity” kind of as a “gotcha” statement, trying to make something more credible because of its age, their implications include a couple fallacies. First, Hinduism has changed and added books with their Vedas over the years, and it’s difficult to say all the Vedas are older than the Torah. Second, just because something is older doesn’t make something more true. This is the logical fallacy “Argumentum ab Annis” (argument because of age). Just because a religion, a thousand years ago from a primitive group, taught that child sacrifice to the gods was good, this didn’t make their belief or their practice true or good. And not just because of the argument that one religion being older makes it better. However, God’s existence, his creation, the existence of Adam, and calling of Abraham existed in reality years before Moses documented them in the Torah. |

QUOTE(kron_ka @ Jan 25 2016, 02:02 PM) Yes thanks for your understanding. This is what De Luffy has been missing my point. you demolished damansara-heights-prominent-church... you attacked bukit jalil, you gonna attack city harvest ... run run run... help my self... Yesterday I was at church, and Pastor Chris delivered yet another sermon, which makes my eyes roll. He said serving would heal us from our pains. As what you've said, if serving takes our eyes from the problem, then what's differentiate serving from going to the gym and work your body out until you can't lift your hand? Many people go for under distractions, like I know a school friend who is suicidal but he goes to the gym and works very hard to forget his problems, he work so hard, one day, he accidentaly tore his muscle, when he could not go to the gym, his hands were trembling for him to cut his own wrist. So in the same sense, a dude relying on gym to distract him from his problems, is no different from those guys I know who serve 110% at church to forget about their own problems. The problem is still there, they are just not taking it head on. Not figuring why is there the problem in the first place. As I know one dude at church, he is a socially awkward guy, he speaks openly about jumping down from a high rise building or other means of suicide. But you know what? When the members all hear, nobody took action, just sat there during gathering and ignored him. I reported this to the leadership, they just tell me to not take him seriously. Instead, they think by putting him into serving ministries, will heal him from his problems. Apa ini man? What happen to us lately? Have we turned into a community of uncaring and uncountable brothers and sisters towards each others? Then there's that borderline between forgivesness and having a big disagreement with the church? Does forgiveness mean, being a YES MAN? Become one of them? Just drop all my assertions and believes and values for the sake of being submissive to the leadership of the church? Even though its eating up my soul? Agree with them and shut my mouth? I had an interesting discussion during bible study 2 years ago, when a long serving christian at a prominent church in Damansara Heights, was part of the treasury committee in charge of funding the new building (apparently in bukit jalil). He told us that he had a big fight with the church, because he felt the church funds wasn't able to fund the new building and the funds could be use better for other ministries such as helping the poor. But everyone at the committee was a YES MAN. They approves the project. And you've read the papers, that church in many years struggled to build that new facility, and put the church into debt. Many years it was delayed. The dude who disagreed with them, left the church. Even today, people question the waste of money use to build this white elephant because they only use the building once a month. And I haven't even bring up City Harvest. Somehow at yesterdays sermon, the pastor missed the mark by 1000 miles. Yes I agree with him, the great commission, he wants to expand the church to 15000 people, wants to do church planting and want the church to be a blessing to the unbelievers, want to be a community light house, salt and light of the earth ! But what about looking inward? He talks about church planting and expansion but this cannot be achieve if he keeps on stretching the cell groups. Do you know what he calls the cell group? SMALL GROUP ! Now he's like making our cg size 3 to 7 people. I heard of the saying, WORK HARD and PLAY HARD. What's wrong with having a 20 person cg? Where's the diversity? Where's the comaderie? Instead I having to go to cg meeting every friday night, and only meet up with 3 people sitting at a sofa. It feels more like shrink therapy than a cg session. And you know how the cgs r instructed to conduct the cg session? Every friday, my cg leader would come up with very thought provoking questions aftern the sermon, end up heated debate among the few of us. Then I feel like I am being indoctrinated, 3 vs 1, to come back to the "good" side. I can only say without love, the church won't win the hearts and minds of its congregation. We may just say yes to them, but we all be like a robot and just take instructions, things are not going to be implemented right. The cg groups have already been stretched thin, and the pastor still want to multiply. Is he dreaming or what? When I mean stretch thin, I mean not the work nor the commitments we are all taking. In fact, we would be glad to take up more and more serving at the church. But please don't take away the fellowship of the cg, for goodness sake. Why multiply the cg every 2 years? Before I even have the chance to blend and connect with others, they are already in the other cg. Shouldn't we deserve to have some fun at church, some laughter, some friendship? Instead of having to come to cg lonely? No chinese new year dinner or celebration, we just come every friday are debate. Forgiveness doesn't mean agree everything with the church. And how far do we submit, before the damage is done? The kind of damage that City Harvest have done. If anyone were to question the church policies, that person is regarded as a rebel, an argumentative and divisive persona and a distruptor who doesn't understand the bible. |

I agree with you that someone should take considerable measures to at least talk to that person. Why is he behaving such a way? For the church to act like that is a disgrace. You can't just sweep problems under the carpet. Don't they have counselling in church? At least the pastor can give advise to him. I find serving in church is quite taxing because of my work. I can't dedicate too much time doing that. I think some churches thinks that you are a Superman or something? Have you seen UW church? That's a MEGA MALL man! But God provide through its people, donations come from generous church givers. Donations... City Harvest? That's de1929 church right? Whoa...better stop there.

Can logic prove that God exists?
QUOTE I. Existence is in itself an essence of substance. I read it somewhere awhile back. What's your opinion? Lets hear it. II. Proof is logical essence. (Explanation: Proof assumes logical essence) III. Existence necessarily proves its essence. (Explanation: Essence is attribute of existence of substance) IV. It follows from (III) that for substance to exist there's no condition for it other than its very essence. V. It then follows from (II) that to prove existence of substance; logical existence is assumed. Therefore logic only proves substance of essences of the same nature of it. VI. Therefore substance existence is of logical essence. VII. It then follows from (III) and (VI) that substance existence couldn't be proved if it weren't of logical essence. VIII. God (as infinite substance) is logical and its essence is proof of itself. IX. Therefore God exists. Oh I don't want to debate coz this topic is not a DEBATE. |
