Why is that some people who are more inclined to their religion, who has greater knowledge about the good news of God, are those who are strict?
When I came across with people on the street whom I met before I usually show a little politeness by giving them a smile. But it's different from some of our neighbors, although we are in the same sub-society for so long years, still it's like you're a complete stranger to him and her, not a smile or at least a nod of their brows. I usually meet these people when they are wearing formal dresses, carrying the God's bible, and ready to attend a mass of their church, but why with the sharp look?
There are also times that when I encountered a God-freak person and if I ask question about "do God really exist?" they will suddenly look at me like a very pathetic super low life kind of creature for having that thought in mind. With a great and proud and loud voice they will explain it to you like you are being scolded by your own parents, who would've want to listen? If only they could explain it like how they answer the question "what is your name?" with a smile on their face and shimmering in their eyes, then this world would be a much better place to live. If they are taught to deliver the good news it should be delivered in a good way.
I've been asked for this question for how many times from different person "do you know where are you going when you die? do you think you are saved?" with that question I usually answer "I don't know where I'm going if I were to die coz I haven't been there and I don't know if I am saved" but according to them the answer is "when you accept God in your heart as your Saviour then you are saved" I'm not sure about that but I'm pretty much sure that I have accepted God not just in my heart but in my whole entire life. What I just hate from some of those who used to asked me this question was it has been also asked to them, like they claim the knowledge without any basis, a knowledge that I can't accept and manifest. I may be a fool, a coward, a blasphemous, a sinner, a devil, name it! You can call me anyway you want, you can hurl wounding words on me, who knows? it could be the greatest lesson in life for me to learn.
By the way thank you for having some time to read.

Maybe they were just giving a STRICT or firm facade, so that people would take them seriously. :) I dunno.. I haven't encountered such behavior yet.. Lucky me. hehe.. Well, there's one related note that's been going on.. the RH Bill.. But well, that's a different story. :)
ReplyDeleteI believe in God.. though I admit that I'm not the bible-reading-church-going Catholic. I have my faith, adn I keep the faith. Some will say that I'm evil for not going to church every Sunday.. or reading the bible. Judgement will be between me and my God. So no one could say that I'm a bad or good Catholic except Him.
I don't really think about where I will be going if I'm dead.. I try not to think about it. Let's all just live in the NOW, shall we? :)
