Re: [Goanet] What is Christianity?
Dr Barad: most Christians I know don't use the word 'God.' .. Can I get clarification on this? Dr Falcao: Some Christians (and some Catholics too), use GOD to make dodol during Christmas. Sometimes a little extra so it becomes GODD. COMMENT: I enjoyed this response from Dr Falcao. Very witty indeed. jc

I agree with the content of the message except for the use of the word 'God.' This I say because most Christians I know don't use the word 'God.' Can I get clarification on this? U. G.

Re: [Goanet] what is christianity ?
Ana, Who told you, that you should love brother or sister? Why not both?? I guess you have changed your religion, I'm curious to know, whom you venerate at home!! Why would anybody write nonsence, unless in turmoil.. Please get hold of yourself.. when your contribution to the church is nil, what is the point you want to make? I suggest you buy one helmet, and wear it not just when riding a motorbike, but 24x7, so your head remains intact:-) Best..

[Goanet] WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY.
Thanks for defining Christianity, offering candles and flowers is one's way of thanking Jesus or the saints (not the lifeless statues, as you say) for favors received. The priest has not encouraged it because it brings in money. I for one would prefer to put in money in the church boxes instead of the flowers and candles, as the church needs the money for its upkeep. Christianity for me does not mean just loving your brother or sister, it is forgiving my enemy. May Christ forgive you. Michael.
Re: [Goanet] what is christianity ?
We Christians have got very limited knowledge about the Word of God (Bible). As parents, we never encourage our children to read it neither do we read it. We have taken it for granted and hence we are unable to tell what is right or wrong. We blindly agree to our spiritual Leaders. We have even made amendments to 10 commandments. Has anybody got right to change God's words? Please read Exodus 20 which will clarify that it is wrong to make graven image, bow down or serve them (This is one of the commandments). Many thanks Ana Maria for bringing this to our attention.
