over the coffee..
below is a reply from a friend having read a short article from christianitytoday re the Da Vinci Code.
it was a while ago. before, the whole thing developed over the coffee conversations. last resort, keep praying for the person and be open (word and action). in reply, i wrote a short summary of the gospel.
I personally think that the answer to lifes questions regarding this and other related matters will only be answered at the end of life. It should not be possible for man to know the absolute truth of all these issues but instead, play on the ideas of the faith that they believe due to the flaws of mankind such as deception and gullability that exists in humans. That is not to say that the da vinci code IS correct, but more of the realization that there can be a small and remote possibilty of it happening due to the lack of current and credible evidence and the deficiencies of humans. But in the end, I think you should do what you believe is best.
But What man kind should worry about is not on what or who might be waiting on the otherside, but what can be done to ensure the survival of current existance of mankind and for the generations that follow.

nice .. very similar to my friend's reply ...
When you think about it, I guess it's kinda true ... You will never know in FULL until the end of your life and human is historically prone to error in judgment. We are easily influenced by trend around us, including Christians ... So, how can we be sure that we believe in the true God?
Having said that, it does not prove that Christianity is wrong ... Even when human is prone to error, but not God and the scripture .. Infallible truth .. It also comes back to our faith in God and the Holy spirit testifying within us that we are His children .. I like what Jesus said to Thomas regarding this matter: Blessed those who do not see, yet believe.
Maybe this Word came out of His mouth because He knows there are many who would not believe until they see Jesus themselves (at the end of their lives maybe) ...
point taken! ..and it is when it's all too late :(
human being is bound for pride, that is one of the problems.
again, we can't outright jump into a conclusion before doing the homework. certainly, there are more than one resources that can be cross-examined for evidences-sake. history is a fact and it belongs to the public. how many lies can escape over a time before people find out they in fact are lies? talk about truth..
