precisely.

sabbath was made for man, not the other way round. yet, many don't understand.

Bible clearly mentioned to rest on the 7th day. yet, many have their service on Sundays or from Saturday evening/night. According to our bible, it's from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. yet, many are blinded and treat the sabbath day to the convenience of themselves.

My earlier note was all quoted from the bible, yet, no one sees it.

last year i had an accident, i break few bone
two of them are on my ribs and the breaking point is near to the spine.

during that time, i lay on the ground and i tot i break my spine and i going to be paralysis for life
i was being paranoid

during that time i pray, i never pray before.. i dun believe in god and especially Christianity..
i think all is bullcrap

but everything turn out fine.. i have fully recover and back to 50% of my strength now

the 1st question i want to ask is, why am i praying to jesus during that time?
personally, i think is due to the media.. i watch lot of american sitcom, there is always someone mentioning christianity in somewhere

the 2nd question is, why am i praying... i dun believe in god (in any form) and if there are god, i hate him/her/its for all the shit that happened to me and to the world.
But why, why am i praying???

3rd question is, what if my prayer was heard by god and god help me pass through that difficult time. what should i do?? pray to him? thank him?? believe on god?
what if i just ignore it?

everything doesnt make sense..
thanks

maybe i'll say thank you to him when i ready.

Thanks anyway.

I think people from Catholic background believe that suicide forfeits your salvation? Their logic is that's if you won't commit the most horrible sin a.k.a murder on others, the same goes for yourself.

But.... I don't remember any 'most horrible sin' in the Bible. In fact all sins are equally horrible in the eyes of God. Where did the idea that suicide = forfeit salvation come from?

If it's because it's dying in open rebellion, then it's just as open rebellion to die with a grudge against another person, or die with lust in their hearts, or greed, or anything really.

Isn't that because of the betrayal?

Stuff that Christians should know. Many stuff that are normal to others can intimidate people with psychological issues. It's a good read.

Thanks UW.

My church website for your ref https://tjc.org

Clinical depression has a lot of factors, so there's no one-size-fits-all statement. Some people it's chemical-imbalance. Some people is lifestyle factors. Others come from poor coping skills to life stress.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_depressive_disorder

It's further complicated by 'co-morbidity'. Think of it as a 'compound illness'. Many mental disorders include depression as part of their symptoms. That's because it's all inter-related.

Cannot function in society > lack of freedom and/or finance> lack of friends > feel bad and/or suicidal > cannot function in society

People with mental disorders don't see the world in the same way as normal people. It's like showing colour to a blind person, or music to the deaf. It just doesn't connect. For really severe cases, layman attempts to help can cause more harm. We all know one busybody auntie/uncle who tries to make everything 'right'. For many patients, their methods only worsen the problem. That's why nowadays it's advised to seek professional help.

In the pre-modern era, psychological help tend to be in churches, temples, or tabibs. It's not accurate to say that people had less mental illness back then. They do. But because they didn't have the quality of doctors we have now, most of them died young. Like physical illnesses such as influenza, malaria, TB, ect was a big killer.

Edit: They still have a personal responsibility to get better, if they want. Just the road not easy at all.

"Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear him thither."

Good morning,

What about bad Christians?

Do they still go to heaven? Last two weeks, I attended a sermon by a female pastor and she said, Christians may not be saved if they do not follow Jesus's teaching.

That makes me ponder.

If bad people are also saved, then does that mean there are also bad people in heaven? Will they do the same what they did when they were in earth?

Are Law of Gods referring to the law that was introduced by Moses?

Frankly speaking, I think it's to guide humans to be a good being. However, there are certain law that I feel weird.

Just wanna make clear on something.

God only gave 10 commandments for everyone to follow, is it?

Was God responsible for those weird rules?

What does 'Remember the sabbath day' mean? Does it mean that we aren't supposed to work on Saturday?
