When I say that God is my savior. I don't just mean that because he died on the cross for all humanity out of love even though we were his enemies . But he really did save me. After thinking things through , my life is so fragile , emotionally I mean . I'm probably one of those only teens who thinks about suicide in a rational sense of the word and not just thinking about it when you're down.
But why didn't I kill myself ? Because as Rachel told me , and what ZX told me , there is a purpose in life.
And from the epic fire that God has put me through for the last 2 years (I still think it's really too much for me to deal with sometimes , thankfully I was made to tahan a little more) , I learned that there are rational reasons to believe why there is a purpose in our lives.
I'm still questioning and learning , but dang , it's amazing when I learn so much when I nearly fall.
And sometimes , I think I just think way too much (Rachel was kind enough to point that out) , but then again , if only I used these thinking skills for my studies ...
Also , here would be a small rebuttal towards Pn Zaini , our BM teacher , who openly claimed that Jesus never claimed that he was God , and she also asked the Christians :"Prove it"
1.You've probably never ever read the Bible , even if you did , you probably read half of it and took everything out of context.
2.If Jesus was a mere prophet as you claim , why did he say stuff like "No one goes to the father except through me".. And even a Sunday School student would tell you that Jesus made other claims in the gospels like that too .
3.I don't mind dialogue between faiths , but it gets really annoying when a teacher does something like this in a classroom , as if a student has an answer , he/she has a big disadvantage .
4.With all the NT scholars out there... do you really think that their work is so lousy that a mere language teacher like you can debunk years of research just with a few sentences ? We're not even talking about religion now , we're talking about whether this man claimed that he was divine or not .
