genting trip made me open my eyes to stuff.
person A: "You call yourself a christian when you dont even attend church."
me: "i do attend church."
A: "really meh? i call you on sundays you always at home leh"
me: "how many times you call me on sundays?"
A: "TWO TIMES!"
me: "so you're baseing your facts on two days out of so many others in the year?"
A: "wadever la. some christian you are."
lets make things clear that i do attend new creation church. if you do not follow me 24/7/365, i do suggest you rethink of questioning my faith in God.
person A is a christian too, which makes me all the more disappointed that he can actually say that. well done person A. well done. kudos to you for making me reach a new low.
person B: "you call yourself a christian, ben, why do you not say prayer before eating?"
me: "did you SEE me not giving grace?"
B: "you never wad."
i didn even want to reply at that time. yes i DID say grace. but those of you who know me, my grace is usually real short. just thanking God for the food and asking him to bless it for the nourishment for my body. amen. a short close of eyes, and whisper in my heart, which i think is enough, made some people see me as a fake christian.
person A: "you call yourself a christian but do not act like one. are you really one?"
take note that person A is a sinner, like me, like everyone.
my reply to you is that being a christian does not mean acting like an angel. Being a christian is in believing in Jesus Christ and God the father. Yes, i do have my flaws, but that's all human nature.
i am really feeling very down after those two said these things to me.
and im talking about two people whom ive been friends for over 6 years here.
