i can't believe there are people like that. and they are supposed to be her close frens in school!!
this is what happened to caiyun. she wanted to pray for two of her frens, about the blessings which they need. but then they ended up arguing with each other about various things.
they told her about alot of things which challenged the christian faith. like they brought up that chain mail abou the sinking of the titanic ship. that God sank the ship just to show that He indeed could do sth like dat, when one of the crewmen said that even God can't sink the ship. then they said why did God created humans then destroyed them so unflinchingly, so cruelly?
then they also challenged caiyun.. asking where is God? what are the evidences that prove his existence.. and what are the proof that heaven and hell exist.. all these questions.. even those questions which we ourselves dun think about.. they seem to take that period of time as some kind of shoot-her-down session.. caiyun didn't know how to answer them.. and i know that secretly they're laughing at her humility. i am downright pissed for the sake of one of my closest frens.
jc students.. i thought they should be more mature? i thought they should know the line between jokes and cutting remarks? and do they even know the meaning of eq?
granted.. they are from nj, where all the smart and studious reside.. and they've done some research of religions on their own.. but to think they even told caiyun to send the most knowledgable person to discus with them, to see if he'll be able to convince them even.. i could do no more than sweatdrop and let my jaws drop to the ground. i honestly can't believe they could be people who would say that.. i mean.. even if u think all the things about God is great.. God answers prayers.. religious and christianity stuff are stupid.. u would think twice about holding them in rite.. because there is such a thing as ampathy.. and i really can't bring myself to not tell them to go eat shit when i heard about it.. i mean.. i know there are and there will always be people who are not going to turn towards religions. ever. but to say all that hurting things.. i feel for caiyun, i really do.. if its me, i know i can shoot them down also. ive not been a christian myself till sec 3. so i have my fair share of doubts too, like them. but there are eye-witness accounts.. of plenty of miraculous things.. like near-death experiences.. of people encountering God Himself.. and of all the miraculous work and healing done in His name.. i mean.. aren't those evidences?
throughout our whole lives.. there are clues.. subtle hints from God.. to tell us gently that Hey I've been here all this while.. Why are u ignoring me? Why do u think me as sth out of ppl's imagination and lies? He gives us opportunities to accept Him... dats what those eye-witnesses' accounts are for! he let ppl see His work.. see jesus himself even.. so that they would be testimonials, proving to skeptics the very thing which they've been evading for since like forever, that God is real. and He's certainly not a bad god who humour himself by making us suffer, by seeing us in pain.
actually.. im not pissed now, as compared to ytd, when im using what little self-control i have to not yell curses right there in rachel's dad's car. (actually, i can't bring myself to curse, ill probably just tell them to go dunk their heads in shit) i realise that there are worse ppl than these examples and if i would get angry at everyone of these ppl i meet, then i probably would die young out of high blood pressure.
anw, i can sort of ampathise with them, meaning skeptics.. since i was one myself years ago.. when i was in gb and when the officers shared Christ with us and when we prayed. i was one of those girls who rolled my eyes at the things which i think are stupid and ridiculous.. and i was the one who kept thinking we're praying to the air.. when im used to praying at the alter to unfeeling idols for all my life..
we people get so intellectualall the time.. whil we're growing up.. we think of alot of things.. like where do life originates.. the universe.. different solar systems.. why do they exist in the first place? even our surroundings are weird in a way if u study them closely.. if we stop to think and look around us.. there r actually alot of things which can be questioned about.. even our own bodies.. so intricate and so.. made for survival.. all the organs are like fine pieces of art and science combined.. so complex yet so delicate.. to think that there is no one, no one at all who created all these.. this then, is the greatest mystery..
self-denial.. that's a state all of us are in..
ha.. common test. common test.. common test..
