which should i pick?

I was initially happy over being able to go for an exchange in Hong Kong next year, but now it seems that something else might take precedence. I am torn between the two choices; go for exchange, or take up a new responsibility in my CCA. I'm uncertain which path God wants me to take... so many things to consider.

The thought of having cult teachings infiltrating and assimilating into the minds of non-believers is scary and infuriating. Was having a conversation with a PRC student, J, who claimed to have recently received Christ. I found out that he is reading a book by an American author, whose books are not sold in Singapore, and is considered a cult.

Basically this author claims that he was visited by angelic spirits, who gave him a form of higher wisdom, which eventually translated into this particular book. What astounds me more is that in some online forums, "Christians" highly recommend this book, adding that nothing before in the church has the bible been preached more clearly than this book.

J: I believe that god uses all religions to guide people to him.

Me: Which god are you referring to?

J: Don’t you know? You are a Christian right? I’m referring to the Christian God.

…

J: I don’t think that Jesus is the only way to salvation.

…

J: I have some problems with the Old Testament, and the book answers my questions better. It is the best book I have ever read.

It is scary to know that such books abuse the name of God to divert people from God, and infuriating that while the kingdom of God is being spread, the prince of this world is also at work. And the number of Chinese intellectuals and such cults will only rise, sigh.

Another conversation with a post graduate, Y, also made me despair a little:

Y: If all religious people insist on their god being the true god, there wouldn't be peace on earth. How then do you know which one is real? The way the bible has been interpreted and applied has changed over the centuries. So how can it be absolute?

Won't do any good getting into a debate. Oh well, should pray more for these people and for myself to be sensitive to their real needs. I'm still finding the balance between intellectual and emotional.

Alright, back to study!
