Bro Michael was at AJC today for the racial harmony forum together with professor.... Can't really remember his name.
Anyway they answered our questions regarding religious and racial harmony in Singapore and I found it very interesting and enlightening.
one thing however left a very deep impression in my mind, the theology of the Roman Catholic faith, firstly it is only through Jesus that we can enter Heaven.
but more importantly it is not as to say you must believe in Jesus to go to heaven, but any good men or women can enter heaven through Jesus.
god loves all men regardless of his or her beliefs and it is not for us to judge who should enter Heaven.
There is no short cut into heaven but only through a life of compassion and love for your neighbours, a life whereby you seek to please God.
more so for us Catholics the challenge is even greater for we have been privileged to know and learn about Jesus Christ.
saying this it just brings to mind the fact that I like many Catholics are however very slack in our faith, we often take it for granted, take God for granted.
God has blessed me with so much but taken for granted have I of him.
Some may argue if God was so good and powerful then why doesn't he remove all suffering in our lives, where is god when we are down, and saddened?
I believe God is always there, in our friends that come to comfort us, in our family that supports us in the people that help us.
Looking up into the sky I can't help but be amazed at the wonderful creation of God, it makes me want to go back to him and become even more fervent in my faith.
