Why God and Jesus are asterixed in some posts?
-
Why are the words God and Jesus asterixed in some posts as if to conceal them? I.e. 'Forever Young' posts by Rapture and FI
------------------
God made this world with laws, such as that of gravity, the disobedience of which will lead to serious consequences. Similarly He made the world with moral/spiritual laws as well, such as that the disobedience of which will prove eternally costly. Therefore, let the God who so loved the world that He gave us His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, heal your hurts in the way that He knows best. While it may not be in your ways, trust that He who made you and I, knows the best way, His way. Have a blessed day!

dont ask me. I'm not the one who started.

It is because those words or terms are only recognised by those who believe and not by all in their education. To the rest, these terms don't mean anything and hence asterixed in those posts. Everyone who is educated can define Math terms clearly like trigonometry sin, cos and tan, scientific terms like H2O, etc etc. But what can we say about those religious terms? Of cos, it is better off to asterixed them off in their post until the time when it is being proven a fact, then they can do otherwise. A virtual being that's not proven existence, of course has no fixed name until it is recognised by all.
Simple reasoning and Please no flaming esp from those religious fanatic.

God is real, I also know it, but not in your context of Jesus and God or the Trinity. Noboby knows the truth yet , you only believe in something that is what we called faith. As for the world, the evidence is not enough to proved that your God is the creator, if you like to said that, then it's fine too. Believe in your dreams, and I hope when the time for you to go comes, you will wake up and see that what you believe is not what you think...Originally posted by HitSquad:my friend, God exists, trust me, look at the biologicality of this world, it is evidence of the design of God. anywayz, if u want to wait until the day u see God with ur two eyeballs, then i think maybe, at that time, a little bit late for u lah. hv a blessed day, God is real, i know it.

So have also your good day, and maybe when you see your God, you can said hi for me, caused I don't think I can ever see him.
P.S I also see it just fine.

i hate to go into 'theological debates' cos it never ends. but here's a shot, just for u, obiwan!
there are but two types of classifications of religion in the world. one group believes that soemhow u can save urself through ur works, n ur search for a path to 'enlightenment' /salvation.
the other group believes that only God can save u, and u can do nothing to save urself.
every single one fo the world's religions fall in the first category, n only one faith belongs to the second category.
have a nice day.

nope islam and judaism presume that salvation comes by following a law, so u can save urself thru ur own works.
by the way i never said that the christian faith excludes catholics. hmmm, ask any catholic if they r christian n they will say yes, i m catholic n a christian as well. i think if u read up more on catholicism n protestanism, u will find, that we r both christians. just with different systems of running, just like two primary schools under the same min of education like that. -
if u r not real, then u wouldnt think twice abt jumping off a building, becos it wouldnt matter. u rnt real anyway. word of advice, : the matrix is just a film show.Originally posted by obiwan:Am I in a dream or Am I not??? I am not sure too...

matrix is a film show, yup. you dont really understand what is "kong", or emptiness. that is why you are still caught in a web.Originally posted by HitSquad:if u r not real, then u wouldnt think twice abt jumping off a building, becos it wouldnt matter. u rnt real anyway. word of advice, : the matrix is just a film show.

oic, you are the 1st protestant who said that, guesss you are a bit different from normal protestant. they always tell me otherwise, either catholic or protestant, no 2 together...Originally posted by HitSquad:nope islam and judaism presume that salvation comes by following a law, so u can save urself thru ur own works.

oic, christian depends on god to save them... sorry, i thot that islam and judaism also the same, so they actually depends on law to save them... interesting.

sorry friend, but i really cant resist and must post this. i used to be a fervent buddhist scholar.Originally posted by obiwan:matrix is a film show, yup. you dont really understand what is "kong", or emptiness. that is why you are still caught in a web.
i understand kong, but u know what? nothing can be kong. try emptying ur mind. u cant. u will be thinking abt sthg, ur breathing or something else. cannot be kong one.
also, if u r true buddhist, then ur pursuit is for nirvana, to attain buddhahood and leave behind the world, this existence. no more reincarnation. and once u leave, u cannot come back.
what abt the rest of the world then? u cannot help them. in the end, the only thing is, ur goal in this buddhist faith is but for ur own good, nobody elses. only u get 'saved'. its a selfish objective, sad to say. sorry but its true.
n if, u dont want to pursue this objective, then why pursue the faith at all?
also, it is really just a philosophy (buddhism as never a religion, no gods, no nothing, just a way of living). 'sides it doesnt explain the existence of the world, just that it was formed from a cosmic chaos of karma.
hmmm, not good enough for me. if i put a dismantled watch in a box and shake it for ten thousand years, itd still be a mess. chaos can never create order. sorry.
these are but some of the reasons that i converted.
i explored almost every faith, except satanism (thank God for that), and found only one that is true. Christianity, my friend.
not trying to slam u or anything, just telling u my life story. have a good day.

As for buddhism you have said, i guess it is that you dont understand it enough. anyway, the way you see buddhism is that you dont really understand it at all.
As for kong, you havent not gone into it at all... i practice it and i know how it is to be kong, and not kong...
but i am happy for you, at least you found the truth for yourself.

me, my aunt is a nun from taiwan. she used to give me guidance, now i am practising by myself. although i'm not a buddhist, i found it very useful to mediate. it calm me down, make my breathing goes very slow, of course sometimes my thot will wanders, but I manage to keep it very focus, very relaxingOriginally posted by HitSquad:i dont understand it? hmmm, i studied under a venerable leh, u leh?

Trust you? Who are you for us to trust you? Are you qualified enuff in the first place to talk and tell pple which way is right or wrong? Are you a saint yet? if not think you better do more of your stuff to get your way to heaven. You are late, man. Still dilly dally here with all the posts. You just got yourself to blame if on that judgement day (virtual date as usual), you yourself cannot even be saved by god (virtual being as its existence up till now haven't even being proved or confirmed).Originally posted by HitSquad:i dont understand it? hmmm, i studied under a venerable leh, u leh?

Save yourself first lar instead of wasting time in this cyberworld and wasting other pple's time. You want to believe, you go believe lar. Don't come bother the rest when you yourself still haven't reach your stage of being a saint. We got better thing to do in life.
