Thursday, August 24, 2006 - confession to make
since a tender age, i have came in contact with christianity.
well, at this point, i believe some of you guys will think "there she goes again....talking abt some da dao li, christian stuff, preaching abt boring stuff...etc"
but hey, u've got it wrong pal.
i've actually got a confession to make.
honestly speaking, up till now, i still have doubts abt my own religion despite going to church since young.
there are still deadknots in my belief which is shaking the foundations of my faith.
yup, i must agree i do sound religious here though.

one of the doubts i have cause me alot of discomfort, especially during Good Fridays and Easter days.
i wouldnt rlly like to think abt it.
its abt life after death. life in heaven.
it just sounds scary at the thought that u would be living forever and ever and ever.
your life will never end...
for non-christians, not doubting ur knowledge abt my religion, but just for some background info, christians believe that after death, christians will go to heaven and enjoy an everlasting life with our big daddy, God up there.
and as you guys know, Jesus died for us on Good Friday. but wat for? to save us.
Earthlings, homosapiens, human beings, watever u term them as.

on Good Fridays and Easter, churches will nv fail to re enforce this point upon us.
and i dun blame them. afterall, this IS the significance of Jesus' death.
i always wonder wat form will we be in when we're in heaven.
will i still look young? den wat if my parents look young too? will i recognise them?
will i still rmb who i am?
heaven i said to be a place where sorrows dun exist.
but with my past, i believe i will, might get sad when i recall somethings....
if there's no sorrow, will i forget my past? without my past, will i still be who i am?

but dere's this song which, didnt solve nor answer my doubts, however it sure cheered me up.
"Tears in Heaven"
smoothing melody, but it comforts me when i look at the lyrics.

presenting to you guys, TEARS IN HEAVEN.
hope not only its melody touched you, but its lyrics will let u ponder upon the issue ive brought up.

Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day, 'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure, And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.

just a disclaimer, its not that i have anything against christianity.
i still love God and believe that he will have the ability to let me understand my doubts someday.
if i were to understand everything, every detail too well, wouldnt i be God too rite?
so actually, i feel perfectly alright to know that i do not know everything very well.
but just the issue on heaven often leave me helplessly in questions and vulnerable.

For everything, absolutely everything above and below, visible and invisible,...
everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.
