The Chosen One
Today when I was walking home from Calculation Class, there was a smug guy passing by, he slowly stopped when we passed by, the first thing I recognized was his tattooed fingers, on each finger there was one letter, together formed they said FREE, it was quite scary actually. However, he stopped me and asked me if I was interested in Bible studies, and I became very red in the face and said slowly "ummmm I'm in a bit of a hurry"...
He said OK and continued walking...
There were lots of people walking on that pavement, why did he ask me? Did he see my past from my presence that I once went to church every Saturday evening but then slowly stopped going.
After I rejected his bible study offer it kind of felt like I rejected God.
First year of high school I went to church every Saturday evening and became Christian, but after 1 year I slowly stopped going there. I thought it was boring, when people lifted their hands while singing I felt a bit uncomfortable, I just couldn't do it. After when I totally stopped going, the ministers sent me emails with topics like : How to get back to normal, Stay true to God, etc.
I felt uneasy as I didn't want to be rude and reject them, but somehow it felt weird to go to these seminars. So my year in the US saved me from those courses...
Do I have to go to church in order to be a good Christian? Do I have to strictly follow God's ten commandments in order to be a good Christian (I tell white lies a lot!!!) ?
I believe as long as I am a good human being (I believe in Karma) God will like me, or maybe I'm just justifying it..........???

that guy came up to you cuz you look different then the others :)
you don't need to believe in God to be moral...trust your sense of what's right and wrong. conversely, just because you believe in God doesn't make you a good or better person.
do what's right, believe in yourself, and treat others as you'd like to be treated. it's as simple as that. :)
No, this is part of a well-thought strategy: Christian sects specifically target Chinese people in Europe, because they are identified as weak psychologically (far from home, often have financial problems, students etc.). Ask Chinese students around you, you will see they are a prime target for such sects. It is actually much worse in the US - many Chinese students come back to China as endoctinated sect members, ready to fight against the Chinese government when needed.
Dont be fooled by such despicable people.
how much do you love yourself?
why did he chose me?
because you were their at the time and within talking distance. Thats all, im sure after you walked by, he did the same to other passerbys. No you arent special or a "chosen one".
Karma has nothing to do with God.
You are wrong, anonymous2. She was a "chosen one" but it has nothing to do with God. Those bastards specifically target "weak" groups. Chinese students are the number one target group of sects in Europe.
anonymous1 I would love to see some links and facts to support this claim of yours.
anonymous1 is talking about religion, that's a topic that never needed any facts :D
thanks
I'm not sure that all these people insulting religion is really helping you answer your questions, which are good and reasonable questions btw.
As a Christian myself, I would say trust God (or whatever it is that you find yourself believing in) to tell you what He wants you to do. If He is not telling you that you need to go to church every week, perhaps it's all right not to. Everyone has their own path. None of us can really say for certain what paths are incorrect. (We are not God.)
For further help, might I suggest (in a non-scary way), you check out Micah 6:8?
Trusting the tooth fairy is better, at least he brings you money when your tooth falls out...
