比较值得提的是一对菲律宾夫妇,说来也真是缘分,是公司里的一个同事介绍我去那个教会的周末活动的,他告诉我之后很久我都没去,突然有一天我就去了,而那个同事正好不在,就认识了这对夫妻。他们特别热情,我以后每次去都会被他们叫住和他们坐在一起,那时我的一切状况都不错,周末去一下教会活动好象是种不错的调剂,我总是很认真地听,要奉献时我也会扔一点,聚会野餐什么的我也总是买点东西带去,给人感觉大概不错吧。后来有一天,那个太太让我星期一去她家里吃饭学圣经,说是便饭,主要是学习,我就在下班后去了,很不可思议,那样的吃饭和学习延续了快一年的时间,这当中他们带我去了不少教会的活动,也有不少教会的其他人不时来加入我们的学习,到后来他们每周日都开车去我的公寓接我跟他们去活动,教会里的人都对我很好,都跟我讲很多他们的故事,我总是很平静地听他们讲,有什么可以帮助他们的地方就尽力而为,他们每月有"Christian of the month",后来没办法就让我当"Christian to be of the month",我也不多说,总之是友好待人但不失去原则。再后来觉得他们有些太过分了,一直朝我工作的地方打电话讲上帝的问题,给我家里电话留言我没回他们都要我讲原因,那个吃饭学圣经活动也变成了轮流给我洗脑,我仍然可以忍受,但实在觉得没有那个必要了,从一个圣诞节的活动我坚持不去后就再也没有去过他们的教会或家里,他们来电话说,给我的圣诞礼物还在那里,圣诞树早已拿走了。咳,最终,还是不那么愉快地结束的。
I have same experiences. I love God from bottom of my heart, but i can not agree to some arguments people make to convince other peoples. I believe the trust and love come from heart naturally, not by some individual cases.
Sometimes i do feel awkard to sit there and hear, since it is really against my logic. And if it is a kind of academical work, i will not think it is a good work. Rather to say a good try. It is really not good for me.
I try to go there as more as i can just because i do not have enough time to be through with bible. I take it a good chance to learn in a group.
I believe people can keep their own mind. Not all majoriry is better or correcter than minority.
