Hehe, sorry for the mistake. Yes, I always choose to listen to consels from other people who are more mature than me when I need help. But when I became a christian, I think I should always seek God's will through prayer. While in fact, I still tend to people's help when confront to troubles. It seems that I could not wait until God shows me his way. I really need patience. Just like 2 months ago, one day, I have suddenly lost my faith and interest in my current job because of a meeting. I was so depressed that I thought there was nothing I could do but devote myself to God's service. Then I prayed to God if it was his will that I made such a decision. Another time, before I obtained a clear answer, I rushed to search Seminaries through internet. Soon, it came to me WTS. I also got many useful suggestions from a brother in WTS. Everything seemed to go so smoothily, then, within 1 week, I decided to prepare my TOEFL, which is needed to go to the seminary. However, 2 months past, I known that I can continue to work in my current company which I have once presumed would fire me,since I always have no confidence in my working ability. While my TOEFL preparation seemed so bad, my listening compresion seemed to be worse and worse, even worse than 2 months ago. Frankly, I think I can understand what they when it is not in a test. I can not calm myself down when in such test. Then I began to searched my heart, whether I really want to be a priest in the future. It turns out I'm not. Maybe I just want to escape my incapability in my current job. What's more important, I think maybe I did not really love JESUS, for if I really love him, I also would love his flock. "He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep." (Isa. 40:11) But will I behave like this? I'm afraid I will not. If I see the wolf coming, I will leave the sheep and run away. Therefore, how can Jesus chose such one like me to feed his flock? Now, I have regretted to my decision. I don't know how to do next step. Why am I always so hot-tempered. I also do not know how my life will be if I still do such secular things like current ones. I'm also afraid I will miss the calling from God if he really called me this time.

Thanks to brother Seraph! Yes, I indeed should spend more time on Scriptures reading and prayer. I always prefer to seeking help from human beings than that from God. Maybe I have still not learnt how to live as a real christian. I have once dreamed that I have been re-baptized. However, I also believe I have been saved since God also answer my prayer. I know clearly that he abide in me.

I have become a Christian for almost 1 year. But a haunting question which seemed to has never been solved recurred to my mind today. I have accept a sprinkling baptism from my church last year. They claimed that through whatever kind of baptism, immersion or sprinkling one, one can be saved so far as he would accept Jesus's Salvation. I was eager to be baptised ASAP at that time, when it happened to be winter, which means I have not other choice. However, I have heard many hold a brief for immersion, not sprinkling one, they declared the latter makes no sense. I've been confused for a long time. I'm not sure if it is necessary for me to be immersed again. Today when I read the Bible, it came to me Romans 2:25-26, 25 For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? According to these verses, therefore, will one could not be saved for what he received is not immersion but sprinkling baptism? The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:23-24

Dear everyone, I've known from radio broadcast last night that on November 4, 1995, Yitzhak Rabin was shot by the right-wing Zionist activist Yigal Amir, after attending a peace rally in Tel Aviv's Kings Square. Fatally wounded, he died on the operating table at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv. I've never pay much attention to Israel revelant news until I have become a christian. It is known that Rabin is a prominent and respectable man who has dedicated to obtaining peace through all his life. But the gunman who assassinated him claimed that his behavior was according to God's will. I have not any knowledge concerning this issue at all. Does Rabin deserve his accident? I'm confused. Would you please show me some Bible based opinions regarding this event? God bless you! God's unworthy servant, Christine

Dear everyone, Someone has asked where the word "week" originated from? and Why we set Sunday as the Sabbath? Would you please show me some Bible prooves? Thanks! With a blessing! Unworthy servant of Lord Christine

I have introduced the good news to an unbeliever the other day. He asked me such a question: Since God knows everything in the past, at present as well as in the future, he must also completely know what will happen in Eden in advance, that is, Adam and Eve were destined to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil when the serpent came to lure them. God has already known that they can not endure the test and eat the fruit, therefore sins entered the world, men will have to accept the Salvation of Cross which also was arranged by God in advance. In the whole process, we human being are totally passive, it was not 2 ways displayed before Adam and Eve, eat or do not eat, but only one way, that is, eat! Otherwise there will not be the subsequent story. From this point of view, the redemption of our Savior is not so precious as we think all along, since the disobedience of our ancestor is also part of God's eternal plan, there is no other choice for us human being, we are just miserable puppet under God's hand. Frankly, I also don't know what the answer of this question is. Some people think before the world was created, there was a battle between God and the Satan. While God did not defeat Satan directly, for Satan is far from the rival of God, God will not be glorified by doing such, just like a giant defeated a little child. Therefore God created human being, who were lower than Satan, and through the victory of the second Adam (Jesus Christ in human flesh, who also was a man) and his follower, God declared the failure of Satan-----he can not even defeat the beings lower than him, not to mention God, who is the king of kings, and LORD of lords. Maybe we can not understand the actual truth until the day we meet our God face to face. We are just the creation of our Lord. How can we ask our creator why he created us like this? But I still want to present this question here, and I wish to see some light from you. I am a new believer after all. May be it will help me love our Lord more deeply by knowing him more. Thanks!
