福音對我黎講一向都很平面
我接受、我相信
卻無果種激情
我聽過好多人既經歷 亦都見過人既轉變 我係佢地身上見到福音既真實性
但係福音始終對我黎講都係平面 係一個寫係書上既訊息/約定/禮物

雖則我相信聖經所講 亦都係理智地信 但係好多時都係頭腦知識
但係今日恍惚見到福音活生生、立體咁出現係我面前
當日既震撼、我似乎感受到
人幾渺小 幾短暫 幾可有可無
甚至人既存在似乎係無必要性 --- 難道世界無左人就會完結?!
但係偏偏創造萬有果位神就揀選人享有子女名份 為人而創造世界 而且安排人係永恆中有一個位置...!!! 造萬有既神 更加為人而受苦 甚至被人嘲笑 最後更為人而死. 咁既愛 邊度搵?!

我信既神配得讚美!

唔信既人 一定覺得我好迷信 好愚昧
信既人見我無啦啦upD咁既野 可能都覺得我無理頭
但係如果你有一日見到、感覺到 我相信你無可能唔對神既偉大讚歎一番

"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:6-8

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Through Christ, our sins could be forgivened and unrighteousness purified. What is better than this?
What could I do in return? Some church slogans say, "Follow Christ!", but I am not going to die for others and purify anyone with my blood; I dont have that authority! But just as He bled for me when I still didnt know Him, I bled for total strangers, saving lives. Hopefully, the people that my blood saved would have a chance to accept Christ as their personal savior during their extended life time.
Donate blood saves lives.
on language

Language is our way to communicate thoughts and feeling; there is no doubt for that. But have we trapped our minds within this cage of language? George Orwell's 1984 mentioned something about reducing unwanted ideas from society by taking out all the related words because ideas cannot form in the absence of the words to describe them. Similarly, our minds could possibly think a lot faster if we are not thinking with the language we speak today. In programming language, there is low level and high level languages. The very low level language would be the most basic instructions like add and multiply. Then each higher level language would be using the low level ones to make more complicated functions. What if the human mind uses this approach to think? What if we think with new simple words and function-like thoughts that represent a complicated concept? Could we then increase our speed of thinking? We might be able to think complicated concepts quickly and describe sophisticated ideas with only few words.
What if instead of thinking one thing at a time, we think multiple things at a time? For instant, I have heard genious kids doing this test sort of thing in which they listen to two people speaking two math problems to them at the same time, and then they have to solve both questions at the same time. We didnt born with the way we think. We are TAUGHT how to think. Remember when you were taught how to read? I was taught to read one word at a time. But think about it. All English words are really make of multiple letters, and we are actually looking at this set of letters at the same time. We call it one word. What if we train our next generation to look at a set of words at a time? Then they could possibly read one sentance with the time we read one word. What if we read the whole page at a time?
I believe the human mind's potential is far from being reached (for an average guy like me). To improve our efficiency, we must come up with a new paradigm of thinking, and one major component in thinking is the language we use.

on Time

What is time? Time is considered as the 4th dimension:

A dot has no length nor volume; therefore, it is considered 0 dimension.
By extruding a dot, we get a line, which has length; therefore, it is considered as 1 dimensional.
By extruding a line, we get a plane, which has length and height. Hence, it is 2 dimensional.
By extruding a plane, we now have space. Space is what we all see. It has 3 dimensions.
And time is an extrusion of space, but we dont see it.

What is time?

Time is not a substance, nor could we give an absolute measurement of it.

We cannot see time, but we could tell it exists from our memory by comparing changes.

Consider this: From the instance you read the word "From" at the beginning of this sentance to the instance you read the period at the end of this sentance, infinite time could have passed already and you wouldnt noticed it. That is because if some being who transcends time stops the progression of time, we would not notice it because in our memory, time has been continuous. Imagine two parallel worlds in which both worlds are identical in every ways: Million of years could have passed in that other world while we are "paused". When we resume, since nothing was changed in our world, we assumed time never stopped.

It is known that stationary things stays stationary until a force is exerted onto it. We have this ability to move things within the 3-dimensional space. If this rule applies to the 4th dimension as well, then who is doing the moving of time? Whoever that makes time progess must transcend time and space. For something to transcend time, it must be etheral.
