I find the back and forth Mandarin & Indonesian interpretation is very distracting. Also, it shortens the time of the sermon. It really is unnecessary. I gather that this is probably due to the need to accommodate spouses who understood only one and different languages that's worshipping at the same time. If it must, then have the interpretation done in a different channel, I'm sure they have enough professionals to do that. Of course, the con of this would be that Tong wouldn't get the chance to correct wrong interpretations or vice versa (sometimes Tong makes minor errors in scriptural quotes, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epicurus' trilemma<\/a>: If God is almighty, then he is not all good and vice versa, so he cannot be both. For evil exists. Lead us not into temptation, but delivery us from evil: Proofs that there can be hope which leads to prayer. However, one cannot just be stuck on hoping. When actually fell, there can be prayer for delivery as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I find the back and forth Mandarin & Indonesian interpretation is very distracting.

My answer: But the fact that we can say that, shows that God must be so good and so almighty that he allows this to be possible. (Sound bite version)
Defense: If you are given the same premises except there is no evil, how can you actually say them anymore? Since there is no more evil and you know not evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
