at the end of it all, a show is stilla show, rather ponder over the actual event of Him, your King who laid down His life for you.
Rather die to have you with Him, then to live without you.

1) the love of a mother for her son
2) the love of a personal friend who suffered willingly.

i dunno if i should start attending church again. i'm not comfortable wif a few things lor..Originally posted by NeonTetra:wat u do not know? some of us at Eternal Hope will try to help. -
hmm...then why not post about those things r think u r uncomfortable and unsure about. we r happy to clear some of them.Originally posted by shutthehellup:i dunno if i should start attending church again. i'm not comfortable wif a few things lor.. -
for one, i am not comfortable with tithing. i understand the biblical truth abt y we shoule tithe, but i jus dun like it.Originally posted by NeonTetra:hmm...then why not post about those things r think u r uncomfortable and unsure about. we r happy to clear some of them.
and evangelism,. in my previous church when i was a leader, i had to do bus, mrt and street evangelism. and i hated it..i dun see the point of being a nuisance to the public...i preferred personal evangelism much much more, when frens can see my life as a christian, and thus they will be more convinced abt Jesus.. -
oh..like that ah.Originally posted by shutthehellup:for one, i am not comfortable with tithing. i understand the biblical truth abt y we shoule tithe, but i jus dun like it.

Christian faith is not a religion in that u do because ppl say do or u do to earn merits so as Gos is happy with u and then save u.
It hoovers around the love relationship between God and Man through the reconciliation work of Christ on the cross.
We tithe not because just to provide mission trips, church funds and salaries of full-time staffs. We give back to God 10% because He has blessed with with 100%. So its the attitude of giving and not the amount that God is concerned. Look at the story about the widow giving 2 coins while the rich man gave a few bags of gold...Jesus says theat she gave more than the rich because her attitude and devotion is right and pleasing before God.
Evangelism is the reason why many people come to the saving faith today but sound evangelism is important as well. Preach because u have to do it...is plain dead work but evenso Paul in his epistles says...whether people preach because of conviction or out of selfish intention...as long as Christ is preached, he rejoiced. Personal evangelism no doubt is important and you can stick to that for a start. -
ok...for remaining doubts, do PM me..coz i guess its better that way.

i know all these...but if i attend some church which practises that, it would be awkward lor..Originally posted by NeonTetra:oh..like that ah.

I also watched it.
Feel that if the show can be more detailed, it would be better. It would show how much more Jesus has done for the sins of the people.
One flash back scene where Jesus draws a line on the ground then people drops stones and a lady looking up at his feet. For those who don't know the bible, they will be confused.
Nevertheless, not a bad show.
btw, I'm not a christian. -
kekeke... want to visit my church?? just kidding but the invitation is open... keke... my church has often been said to be too laid back.... cos they dun go evangelising on mrt, buses or public places like that... I like it that way... less intrusive and allows us to focus more on building personal relationships with God...Originally posted by shutthehellup:i know all these...but if i attend some church which practises that, it would be awkward lor..
and tithing is completely up to us.,... they wun come hounding after us with chopper or phone calls asking why we dun tithe... keke -
erhh...then choose a church tt dun practise that?Originally posted by shutthehellup:i know all these...but if i attend some church which practises that, it would be awkward lor..
i dun really like to ask ppl choose a 'comfortable' church not because i want them to 'suffer'..
it all takes a step of faith. i'm sure nothing is ever compulsory in any sound church.
do ur best...God will be pleased if its done in faith. -
so X-gor...opp. men knows what does tt scence means?Originally posted by X-men:I also watched it.

but i really disagree abt evangelism in mrt etc etc. u're doing more harm than good -
I only remember Jesus did save someone from being stoned to death.Originally posted by NeonTetra:so X-gor...opp. men knows what does tt scence means? -
well, back to the show, i think it is overall a good show with a nice ending..it ends with a high note showing his resurrectionOriginally posted by X-men:I also watched it.

oh....because that woman is a adulteress..in those days its a sin and the punishment according to Moses is to stone the offender to death. So this bunch of religious 'holy' people arrested that woman and wanted to stone her.Originally posted by X-men:I only remember Jesus did save someone from being stoned to death.
Jesus saw that happen and went there and say 'whoever is without sin, be the first person to pick up the stones and stone her' So..one by one the crowd dispersed because they know well that they too are sinners and r not perfect. The scene left with Jesus and the woman because Jesus is sinless. So one might expect Jesus to stone her right? But He didnt, He simply said 'neither will I, go and sin no more' and allowed her to go.
thats my summary.
