loss

my grandma passed away on saturday...

tears and sorrows filled our entire family... but my heart was dampened even more when i think of what's gonna happen to her unsaved soul...

it's every Christian's responsibility to spread his words... not because we're so stucked up, but WE WANT TO SAVE U and we want U TO BELIEVE that u're going to heavens not hell...

often non-believers will reject hearing the gospel or going to the church.. but why? is it cause they're afraid to know, or is their own religion keeping themself from hearing and learning? to me it's a personal choice... a personal choice that we choose what to believe in, and have a intimate relation with who u believe in...

most chinese believe in that doing good deeds will bring them to heavens... but when your love one pass on, u carry out rituals and offer incense and burn inscense to:
1.bring their souls down so they dun become missing souls wondering around,
2.give them food and
3.money to spend down there.
but have anyone asked this question before, if u think u have done enough good deeds in your present life, why will u think that you will go to hell?

when they burn incense and paper, u're saying that your mum/love one is in hell isnt it? or are people just afraid about life after death? that's why alot of them are afraid their love ones got nothing to eat, nowhere to go, no money to spend? it really stands out when i see these rituals and practises being carried out at the funeral. when i see them burning paper and jossticks i was reli sad. cos u're thinking that your mum is in hell and u need to provide for her , den where does your God come in????? haiz...

although i won't stop it cos i respect their rights and religion, but i cant bring myself to agree... everything seems so illogical and so man-made....a religion should be about worshipping God, and following his words... shouldnt be man-made rules ahhhhhhhhh...

a funeral should be for the Living, not for the Dead... it's should be one which celebrate's the person's homecoming to heavens, not fearing that the person suffers in hell... if he/she goes to heaven, we dun have to worry about him not eating, him not living well, him not happy. cos in heavens, God provides everything and human needs shall be gone.

anyway these r just my thoughts.. wun defy their practise la. jus keep quiet and let them do their practises.

God, bless my family.
