***And you shall know the truth. And the truth will set you free!!!***

And the Lord said, “To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we mourned to you, and you did not weep.”

Luke 7:31-32

Jesus likens the men of this generation to children playing games: “If you don’t want to play by my rules, I don’t want to play with you anymore. I will take my ball. I will go home to sulk!” the late Dr. Edwin Louis Cole calls this “adult adolescence”. In the early 90s, Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic met the European leaders involved in the Serbian conflict to hammer out a peace treaty between the various ethnic races. Halfway through the negotiation, he stood up and walked out of the meeting. As he left the room, he turned and shouted at the delegates, “Well, if you don’t want to play by my rules, I am not going to play by your rules!” The result of Milosevic’s tantrum was the death of thousands of innocent people in the war at Kosovo.

When a child is growing up, he exhibits certain immature characteristics because of his childishness: (1) The child is the centre of his own universe. Everything revolves around him. (2) The child is insensitive to the needs of others. (3) The child demands his own way. And if he doesn’t get his own way, the next thing happens. (4) The child throws temper tantrums. (5) The child is irresponsible in behaviour. Children are not born obedient. They have to learn obedience. Solomon says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Pro 22:6). Even Jesus had to learn obedience through the things He suffered (Heb 5:8). (6) The child is unable to be reasoned with. No wonder the Bible says that “Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of correction will drive it far from him” (Pro 22:15). This leads me to the last characteristics. (7) The child only obeys concrete authority.

All that I have listed above are the characteristics of a child. As you mature, you are supposed to outgrow your childishness. But when a person mature only in age but not in character, responsibility and discipline, then the characteristics of a child will still be bound in his attitude and worldview. This is when the syndrome of adult adolescence becomes obvious.

How many of u agrees that u have some of ur friends who are showing “adult adolescence”. I will even confess here tt stimes I also show these signs… But how many of u also know tt God is gd n gives u the power n training ground to let u grow n mature over times… Remember when u r born again Christian, u will go back to ur infant stage as a “Babies Christian” no matter how old u are, thus u need the Word of the Lord to made u grow n mature in Him… If u nva reads the Bible n Prays daily to Him, u will nva grows in the Spirit with the Lord… TT is y u sees some of your Christian frens who eventually slide away from God, it is becuz they are like children, they haven mature… They think tt if God is not moving in their ways, they will not follow God or they think tt God is not for them n have abandon them… But in the bibles, it stated clearly tt God will nva abandon u unless u abandons Him. But how many of u knows tt y God want u to follow His ways? It is cuz He is the only one who can brings u thru all things… God is not being childish here but He is trying to show u His magnificent power in doing great things n miracles… Jesus says in the bible tt He is the only way, the only truth n the only life, no one goes to the Father except thru Him(Jn 14:6)… So it is not the saints or the frens ard u tt can bring u to God, all they can do is to invite u but the decisions is still up to u to decide whether u wanna follow Him or not… Also we have to understand another truth is tt, no one can help u only u urself… Not Mother Mary, not the saints, not the pastors, can pray on ur behalf unless u urself open ur hearts to Jesus, the one n only… Yet WE can pray with u but it is not us u have to open to or go to, only go to God, Jesus n the Holy Spirit for guidance, for it is He who gives u the authority not men… U all have to clearly understand tt… The saints have done great thing but they are not God, they dun have authority to command God, it is God who gives them the authority… They can request from God but it doesn’t mean we pray to them to seek God… Cuz God dun wan us to seek after men’s power but His power…

This is meant to make things clear between Christian n Roman Catholicism… Roman Catholicism is different from being catholic, Dun be misjudge by the word catholic…I wanna make things clear tt Roman Catholicism n Christianity is different… When Christian use the word catholic, we means universal but not Roman Catholic… I think now I have to make my stand clear to all ppl out there… Though both of them believe in Jesus Christ but the approach is different… Thus there is a difference between these two religion now...

I'm not here to judged but to let ppl see n understand... There is differences...
