Malaysian Bar Council Forum on Religion Conversion

Posted on August 13, 2008 by timlyg

Utusan Online melapor bahawa UMNO mengingatkan Majlis Pegaum supaya bertanggungjawab. Sememangnya, hal ini hal keadilan. Bukan ingin mempertikaikan agama Islam. Jika tiada sesuatu penganut dalam kerajaan berhubungan kes seperti kes Lina Joy, mahu bertindak selama ini sebagai pihak yang bertanggungjawab, … Continue reading →

Fake Olympics

Posted on August 13, 2008 by timlyg

Voice of America reported that not just the fireworks on TV were prerecorded during the open ceremony, but apparently the singing of a 9 year old girl who lip-synched to a less adorable 7 year old. I was troubled by … Continue reading →

Why do Many Write on Slanted Position?

Posted on August 12, 2008 by timlyg

If the paper is slanted so that the text direction is more parallel to the drawing curve pivoted at the elbow, then it would explain why this is so naturally convenient for many. But the real question is, is there … Continue reading →

Sometimes I wonder what the Reformed Churches are preserving? Especially the English speaking ones. Is it cultural tradition? or orthodox doctrine?

The Secret of Jesus' Divine Identity

Posted on August 11, 2008 by timlyg

Some, especially the liberals and the agnostics, even the Jews, might argue that if Jesus was truly God, he need not behaved as if concealing His divine authority. As I revisit the book of Esther recently, I believe that Mordecai … Continue reading →

Posted on August 11, 2008 by timlyg

Even though there is no account whether Jesus did drink during his 40 day fasting, there were already other accounts where fasting was devoid of not just food, but water as well. Such as Moses' 40 days in Deuteronomy 9:9, … Continue reading →

Book Review: 我的见证 (宋尚节博士著)

Posted on August 9, 2008 by timlyg

p17-18, 提到有些像 Tennent's Unconverted Ministry 的传道人。令我对宋博士再加另眼相看。 他说：“。。。朋友，不要以服务社会而自欺。。。【上帝是轻慢不得的，人种的是什么，收的也是什么！】“ 今天很多基督徒爱讲周济穷人，行义工，但不懂得追求圣洁生活。正像我在美国看见很多义工其实并不是出于怜悯，而是贪到也要在义务上有份，以关心做借口。 基督徒在社会为人服务乃是为了神，不是为了人，是要人归荣耀於上帝。 要达到这个而得上帝喜悦，自己必须先对圣洁公义有所不断追求。
