形像

創世記 1:26
神就照著自己的形像造人、乃是照著他的形像造男造女。So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

究竟是指外型, 還是「形像」 (個性, 性格等)

Receiving Holy Spirit Twice?

I was following the Bible Reading schedule and I found an interesting point on Holy Spirit. When did the disciples receive tht Holy Spirit? How different are the two "holy spirits"?

[So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."]
And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. (John 20:22)

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. (Acts 2:4)

Father's day questions

Someone curiously asked me: Why the group of the fathers preformed choir on Father's day? Should they be rest and enjoy other people singing to them? My answers, two points:

2. The fathers are singing to the Father up above

Hey, are you a Chirstian too?

In my new working environment, I find a couple co-workers may be Christian, based on the books and decoration in their offices. Sometimes I want to ask them: "Hey are you a Christian too?" But I hesitate to speak out because I am not sure if this is "office political correct"? Perhaps I am over sensitive.

What is our stand on G.W.?

Just wonder, conservative Christians are "Religious Correct" to support traditional marriage and reject abortion. How about Global Warning? Do we have an unify stands on this? Should we support mandatory pollution control in the industry? This is a hot topic nowadays. Although this seems to be an economy question, personally I believe this is a moral issue as well. A delay of action could cost human lives silently on a daily basis. And a wrong decision could hurt our children for generations to come.
