Subject: Actual process? |
Bible Note: Thank you. My goal in life is to understand god. After saying that let me say something about religion. I have always believed that religion should be about peace and self sacrifice, these two things go hand in hand. I started to read about sacred text of many different religions two years ago. Hinduism is vast and confusing. It is highly ritualistic and does not believe in self sacrifice for peace. It calls a man to arm for ridding of evil from this world. Similarly, Islam is also aggressive when it comes to getting rid of evil. Both these religion (though exceptional and beyond me) are violent. When I read about Jesus Christ I could identify with him meaning he embodied my thought of what a true man and a religion should be like. Even though many stories in the old testament are violent, gospel talks about this magnificent man who accepted death even though he had the power to defeat death itself.That to me is the true meaning of life. Now I don't think i have to tell you that our schools and colleges and universities teach more evolution and communism than anything else. So, in some circles when they enquire about my religion i call myself christian because i believe in the gospel. But i haven't been officially converted to Christianity. yes i am very well versed in Islam religion. I have read both the quran and the hadith. I have also seen the actual conversion ceremony. |
