It severely grates my nerves especially when some person starts going "that's right", at the end of every sentence the preacher says.

It's blind, unthinking acceptance where the person does not give much thought to the message but gobbles it all up without understanding.

Instead of trying to seem as if you're following what is being taught, you should be examining yourself and listening. Not grunting like an animal.

It sets me off, because you're not giving any consideration to the message, but being a docile, non-thinking beast.

Stop it.

I have not written more about the wrongness of modern theology because judging from what I wrote previously, people haven't understood anything I said.

The things that I've written, you do not give much thought to, but you're taking some of it up to supplement your wrongful belief about Christ and God so that you feel better and sleep easy at night, and discarding the harsher truths, that condemn and convict you.

You agree with what I said, but you know not what you are agreeing with.

The Christian has a hard time sleeping because he would be in tune with God and God is grieved at what the Church has become. Our Churches have become a den of robbers and thieves like it was in Jesus' time.

Throw away all your false impressions about the Christian faith and read Scripture. All that you need to know is inside. How can you profess to be a Christian and yet not have read most of the Bible? You're not a Christian. You're a liar.

You think Jesus came to unite the world? You've not read scripture then.
Do not flaunt your horrible ignorance. It's disgusting.

Luke 12: 49
"I have come to bring fire on the earth and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

Have you understood this?

How do you tell who is a disciple of Christ? By his fruit.
A good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good food.

Your outward actions, speech will reflect your inner belief. Is Christ in any of these?

No? I thought so.

2 Corinthians 5: 17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Stop assuming or presuming.

I'm so angry at people who think they're Christians when they have not read Scripture or understood any of these.

And do not assume you're on the good side of this division that Christ brought.
By default, we're all lost and rotten.

If you're waiting or wanting a miracle before you believe, I'm so sorry, you've missed it.
Christ has already resurrected and ascended. There is the one other miracle you have a chance to partake in.

"I think the greatest miracle is where God takes an unholy person in a wicked and unholy world, makes him holy, and puts him back into the unholy and wicked world and keeps him holy. "

This was said by Leonard Ravenhill. Google him.
Read Isaiah 59, which convicts us of our sin.

Isaiah 59: 15-16

Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him.

If you think you're righteous, you're not. God calls us righteous and justifies this actually absurd claim if we have faith in his Son. No man is righteous. In Hebrews 11, Abraham's faith was creditted to him as righteousness.

Yet this faith is not something that we have in ourself. We're like the firewood that has been doused with water so many times that we can't light a fire, with Elijah. Rather Jesus, from above, who brought fire, kindled the spark of faith in our deadness.

Read Romans, Ephesians, Corinthians, Galatians, Colossians, Hebrews...
Read the Bible.

Pardon me if my posts now do not appeal to your wit or humour.
But this is the only thing I want to write on currently.
I'm not that sorry for my harsh and agitated tone.

I'm in a good mind to sweep away the tissue packets that office workers in Singapore use to reserve seats in food places. It sounds absurd, especially if they say it themselves.
Could you imagine:

"Excuse me, this seat is reserved."
Huh? There isn't anybody seating here reserving it what.

"Can't you see that we've reserved it with the tissue packets?"
Do you know how stupid you sound!?

I'll probably do this next time. Singaporean are fundamentally cowards who are afraid of hassle and trouble that comes along with confrontation, even if they have reason on their side. All we do is complain, and then let it slide. That is pathetic.

They should try using their tissue packets to reserve parking lots. Or maybe use tissue boxes. More visible. Try and see if the drivers would entertain their childish pique.

I always liked white tigers. Even though they're zoo animals, we cannot destress the second part of the phrase. They are animals after all.
