I just got this tag in my tagboard:

stupid guy: hey, I don think being a social smoker mean no spritual life,and I don think I am stupid lor. Next I may not be a christian, but that does not mean I have no spritual life lor ok?


Well, I dun condemn smokers but I do condemn the act of smoking, regardless social or habitual. According to dictionary.com, smoking = To draw in and exhale smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe. But a more accurate definition would be 'tobacco at one end and a fool (in which case I would like to call an idiot) at the other.' Considering the effects of smoking, it makes perfect sense to me, which is something smokers would never concede (show me a smoker who understands the health hazards he brings to himself and the people around him and still think that smoking is good for him). And dun argue with me that you are a social smoker. You smoke and that's the fact and you fit into my definition perfectly well, unless you wanna argue that social smokers are not affected by the health hazards brought about by smoking and do not affect non-smokers when they smoke. You can also try to argue since you are a social smoker, that does not make you a smoker, which may also mean that you can smoke in places where smoking is prohibited. Try telling that to anyone.

Also, when I mentioned spiritual life, I dun equate spiritual life with being a Christian. I dun know what gives this friend, who calls himself stupid guy, which I dun know why, the idea that this is what I'm talking about. Anyone who reads that post, Back with no vengence, carefully would have understood that I'm talking in a broader context and not refering to Christianity in particular.

Lastly, in that post, I specifically created the scenario to make a point, but normally, that is not the way people choose. In fact, I'm just using it to make two points. I don't know why this friend would take it at face value, though I know a single piece of text can often be argued to carry different meaning.

I hope more such comments come in so that I can clarify my points, cos I know I like to keep my points short sometime that I gloss over certain details.

Till the next 'stupid guy' tag, sayoonara

Parable of the 'Good Samaritan'

By -
Once there was this man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thorns, and the thorns spring up and choked him. And as he went on, he didn’t have money, and he met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him 1,000 talents of gold and 100 changes of raiment. And he got into a chariot and drove furiously, and when he was driving under a big juniper tree, his hair caught on a limb of that tree, and he hung there many days, and the ravens brought him food to eat and water to drink, and he ate 5,000 loaves of bread and two fishes. One night when he was hanging there asleep, his wife Delilah came along and cut off his hair, and he dropped, and fell on stony ground. But he got up and went on, and it began to rain, and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave, and he lived on locust and wild honey. Then he went on ‘til he met a servant who said, “Come, take supper at my house.” And he made an excuse and said, “No, I won’t. I have married a wife, and I c...

Of Teaching and Learning

Over the past two weeks, I was invited to attend a block class on "Learning to Teach." After two weeks of class, here are some reflections that I have. We thank God Bro Casey is a pretty humane teacher... :P  Firstly, teaching needs to meet the changing challenges of the 21st century. This is especially pertinent with all the advancements in technology as well as the worldview changes with the generation today. There is simply no room for the teacher to remain stagnant and not be able to keep up with times so as to engage their students and to facilitate learning. Applying to theological education and Bible school, we have to consider what kind of ministers we are training for the churches in the 21st century. If we are training ministers who are able to engage today’s generation, then we need to review the current methods of teaching and train ministers to be savvy in social media and technology and be able to make use of them in their ministries. Reflecting back on...

Of Exegesis, Wedding Preparation and the Whole Lot of Things: Another Reflection

By -

To those who know what happened, the past months since the start of 2016 had been very stressful to me. In the preparation to my impending wedding this coming October, my future father-in-law decided to throw a few spanners into the wedding preparation by declaring that he was not comfortable with me as a life partner to his daughter because I am a full time Christian worker and more importantly because I come from a different family background from her.  The latter means that there are certain practices in my own family which are unthinkable in his worldview on how a family should function. This led to intense tensions between Angelina and myself. To compound the stress, NT Exegesis class was not that easy also and the stress of meeting the deadlines mean that I sometimes did not have the time to reflect deeper into the situations I was facing in my relationship.  However, studying the text of Philemon 15-20 reminded me of the way we should conduct our relationship ...
