I don't like the Bible but i like Jesus Christ, i think he's one of the greatest man to have ever lived. But i think the bible is not his book, i think he's greater than the Bible. The Bible is full of murder and violence, Jesus wasn't about that. As we all know, Jesus Christ didn't write the Bible, i actualy think he would feel sad if he knewd what kind of actions man did on his name. I believe in Jesus like in Buddha, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. Malcolm X etc.. But i don't like books that misrepresent the goods in life and i think the Bible is one of them. Now nobody is getting diss here, the Bible is. Jesus Christ ain't getting diss here either. To make it simple, Jesus is real, the Bible is fake, that's my view, you don't have to like it.Steve Caissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205605392347205255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-19154199220341940112013-03-24T18:09:37.063-05:002013-03-24T18:09:37.063-05:00Well that's great!

Of course there are lot of genuine Christians out there. It is just that they are hidden. I might not be understanding Jesus Christ the same as you guys but it seems that Jesus Christ came back in different forms. Maybe you guys have found your own Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ was alive, He probably would have been proud of you guys. He did not want his expression to become a religion. I am glad you guys realize that. I know that my views differ but I feel like we are going toward the same path: truth. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this blog. I really appreciate it. Maybe I need to stop categorize Christians like that. That was really racist of me and I am sorry for being that way.

Posts and comments made on this blog and in this forum are made with the idea in mind that this is a safe place to express your thoughts and beliefs without judgement whatever those beliefs may be. Your comment on this matter, at least to me (I cannot speak for others here) comes off as very disrespectful. I would ask that you take the time and consideration to be more respectful in the future.

No one is perfect and I am with you on that one for sure. The fact that you acknowledge your mistakes is the first step to learning from them :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909600620658011371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-39603031244902304922013-03-23T17:31:24.148-05:002013-03-23T17:31:24.148-05:00I've read the Bible, and it sucked as hell. No...I've read the Bible, and it sucked as hell. Now if i would've said that 500 years ago, i would be dead. And right now people gets kill in some places because of certain peoples belief. Your comrade seems to be cool, like he doesn't force anything into you. It should be like that with everybody, when somebody forces you to believe what he believe and keeps getting in your nerves about his belief, the only belief that comes into your mind is slapping the taste out of his mouth.

I'...I actually agree with Charlie on this one. I'm a Christian too, and I have always thought of it as more of a spiritual thing than a religious one.<br />I understand that a lot of people have had negative experiences with churches or church-goers, and so they think that all Christians are overly judgmental or self-righteous or whatnot. I've had bad experiences too, but I have also found churches and Christians that are genuinely good-hearted people, so there are good and bad out there.<br />I'm definitely not a perfect person; I have had a lot of ups and downs in my life and done some pretty crazy things, but I hope I can learn from all of my mistakes and become a better, more balanced person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600833461712128174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-37929927106247684232013-03-21T21:46:15.081-05:002013-03-21T21:46:15.081-05:00You are right.

I respect you a lot for representing Christianity in its purity. Don't get me wrong I respect Jesus Christ. You are also right; there are many true Christians out there just like there are good kwoons out there aside from Sifu. So there is still hope.Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225222198944464384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-36323962374093438712013-03-21T18:52:56.950-05:002013-03-21T18:52:56.950-05:00Its ok Kang, I understand where your distrust and ...Its ok Kang, I understand where your distrust and dislike of religious people comes from. I myself struggled with that for a long time. I agree that the Church as a whole has been corrupted, but that was actually expected. Not everyone is a true Christian. Some will use their abilities to influence people and take their money. This is wrong and people like me disassociate ourselves from them as often as we can. Don't lose hope in Christians or Christ because of this though. Just like me and your other friend, there are many true Christians out there in the same way as there are many (though few) truly good kwoons out there in the world aside from Sifu's.

Sorry about the generalization of pastors and priests. I am not completely against Christianity; I just feel like it has been very corrupted. Maybe you are one of the few people who understand Christianity to its fullest. I also like when you see the similarity between a Martial Art school and church. A true Christian has the potential to be a Martial Artist. He will have the wisdom of Jesus Christ combined with the physical training and the technique training. As long as you see Jesus Christ or anyone else as your spiritual guide, you will always be on the right track.Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225222198944464384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-19864757225851851392013-03-20T18:00:05.956-05:002013-03-20T18:00:05.956-05:00Reading your post Kang I have a few comments on th...Reading your post Kang I have a few comments on the matter as I am a believer myself. Before I make these comments I feel that it is necessary to make a distinction and make that distinction very clear. There is a vast difference in my opinion and based on my experience between a religious christian and a true Christian. Just as there is a difference in the kwoon between the fitness students and the todai. The religious christian and the fitness student are actually quite similar. They go to church because they feel they have to and they work hard to be a "good" person. But because there is no true dedication of the heart and they don't live according to what they claim, no progress is made. The true Christian, like the todai, understand that in order to be a true follower you have to commit your heart, mind and body to what you believe and claim to follow. It is more than just the act of going to church or anything like that. True Christianity is a relationship, not a religion, between you and God with Jesus Christ as the bridge. Now while i understand your reluctance to take pastors seriously, I would say that is a foolish attitude. Know that I am not trying to dog on you or call you foolish, however as someone who has experienced many different martial arts schools as I have churches, there are genuine people out there who are pastors just like Sifu is a genuine teacher of martial arts. I feel like you have experienced true Christianity through your friend. No true Christian will try to ram their beliefs down your throat in order to convert you to their side. Your friend is a Christian, I am a Christian because we have come to the realization that there is no other truth other than the truth of Christ, but that is a longer discussion for a later time :) Know that I am glad that you have a friend like that who you can respect because that person is living the way a true Christian is supposed to. None of us are perfect and none of us will be until Christ returns. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909600620658011371noreply@blogger.com
