Alright, enough said on having different religions.. Yes, different but as long as we respect one another it's all for the better. Here's the thing, if there is only one religion in this world, how would that make a difference? I'm sure every one or community or whatever country they are from would still have something to argue about, don't you think? "Ooo..I'm a better (insert a religion here) than you..., that's not the WAY it is dot dot dot..." and on goes the list. Hmm..how should I start this..?
Yes, this entry will touch on religious matters. Nothing sensitive I hope but I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm a Catholic and brought up as a Catholic and I went to Sunday Schools, received my First Holy Communion in 1997 and Confirmation in 2005. I know the Holy Trinity, the Eucharist, that Easter is not about colourful eggs and rabbits, the basic prayers etc.
You see, I remembered the question my Sunday School teacher, Mr Eric asked, "Do you know why we call ourselves Christians?" Like the rest, I answered, "No.." Ahh..let's cut to the chase..too lazy to type all the dialogue. According to him, the word "christian" is a compound word "christ" being Holy so Christians don't call themselves Christ. "Ian" on the other hand means a sinner? (I don't know if it's true and still confuse and hope someone knowledgeable would enlighten me). He also said that we are not good enough to be called "Christ". Enough said and straight to the point.
Look, there are many many types of I don't know...Christians? Roman Catholic, Protestant, Anglican, Jehovah Witness, SDA, Methodist, Grace Church, SIB and the list goes on. Yeah, I'm happy that one of my friends have converted to Christianity and given up on idol worshiping but hey, you can always keep it to yourself man. I admit I'm not a good Christian and only God knows how long I missed Sabbath. Don't you think it's hysterical that there are different "tribes" in Christianity itself? Bah! No one has the right telling "other" Christians that their "tribe" are not a bunch of good Christians. Just because what the Bishops or Archbishops did CENTURIES ago does not mean the religion is not good, they were not good Christians besides, they died a very very loooong time ago. Please, stop humiliating yourselves.
Come to think of it, I just don't get it. I don't know about the rest of the "tribe", I find other "tribes" than my own (I can't believe I'm even using this term), other "tribes" are always bashing my "tribe" This is based on personal experience and it's the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
Grace Church: telling its followers that the RC are bad example in Christianity, persuading a Catholic to convert?
Jehovah Witness: someone told me that, "Oh, she said yours is not good." (yours here refers to my "tribe")
SIB: Better than RC and on goes the list.
Hmm..yeah, we're bad asses but guess what..Father Jojo whom I met during Inter Campus Gathering said this, " Let them say whatever they want to say, YES, we are bad, we're sinners! And Lord Jesus Christ walks with us the SINNERS! Hallelujah to that!"
Take that, in your faces! Don't take it wrong..I'm not an extremist. I'm just confused, all these so-called Christians and I pray to the same God, why compare to which is more superior? Don't be such a hypocrite...and grow up...every one knows that RC is the first and due to some unsatisfactory matters that later sprout like mushrooms and still referring to the Bible to learn how to be pious Christians.
By the way, to whom it may concern..I know what Holy Spirit is...and I've felt them in my bones and my whole body...and spoke in tongues..so, you can relax and chill...Take this Christianity slowly and no hard feelings. I guess you're too excited..and I forgive you for bashing my "tribe".
