[quote=bramzero;#336049;1371432482]Which part of what I said is "arguing about this kind of things"?[/quote] [quote=aya;#335892;1371393944]I'm not starting an argument though. I was simply asking so I could restore/renew my faith. If someone cannot even explain it to me, then why should I believe? That's my train of thought.[/quote] Yeah sorry, I never should've used that word in the first place. Forgive meh .___. [quote=aya;#335892;1371393944]No offense, but it's like hmmm... how do I say this... It's like reading the same story, for example the classical story of Black Beauty (First story that I could think of lol) novel version and Black Beauty comic book version.[/quote] [quote=aya;#336038;1371407854]Shouldn't people who have a strong faith in God try to convince other people to believe in Him and not saying sth like "It's up to you"?[/quote] Clearly, you're confuzzled about the difference of Born-Again Christianity and Christian Catholics and just like you, I am confused too. I cannot classify and explain all the differences based from what I see because I might be wrong and people might misunderstand what I might say so I'm just gonna shut up about this. No offense but if you really want to find your place then you should start talking about this to people who could explain more about this to you, Aya. And its not something that can be learned with just a snap of a finger, it's really a hard process because there is a lot of things you have to sacrifice in order for you to continue on your journey. *Gah I'm not good with English so I'll just explain this in tagalog. Kahit na, let's say, natanggap mo na si God, madami pa ring tao yung natitigil na sa first level ng journey nila kasi most of the time, hindi nila kayang iwanan PA yung mga bagay na nakasanayan na nila like smoking or drinking alcohols and they're just stuck there even if they repent again and again. Pero God, he loves you and will never leave you even if you make the same mistakes all over again. Naghihintay lang siya, always. Si Satan, he can only offer you all the bad things like maybe, naisip mo ng itigil yung mga vices mo. Ayaw niya yun, he'll want you to not be with God so ang gagawin niya, he'll tempt you thru maybe your friends then you'll start doing the usual things you do again. It's one mad cycle of accepting God, you're lucky once you've made it pass that level. Hindi mo ba napapansin kapag like if you sin (e.g. lie, curse, etc), palaging may consequence or something bad happens? Just recently I lied about not going on my friend's father's funeral (cos it was very far) and my friends keep on convincing me to go with them. Then suddenly, after the call ended, my phone went black tapos ayun, di na siya nag-oopen until now. And I believe it's the making of God .______. And I repented after that cos I'm such a horrible friend. Ugggh. At the end of the day, even if you keep saying you don't believe in God but you clearly do deep inside you, that's okay. Cos as we all Christian say, what matters is your personal and private relationship with God. You do not need to tell and brag to people about it and maybe say you go to church every sunday cos if you're really so into accepting God, it will always reflect on you. Clearly, God loves you Aya and he's just waiting for you to come to him no matter what religion you prefer. Okay? Be confused no more.
