funny u should ask.. i was just chatting with my university chaplain abt this last month.Originally posted by laurence82:oops
anyway, i read a book, Protestant pastors who are already married and want to convert to Catholicism can do so, and need nto divorce...is this true?
according to him ... yup .. they wouldn't need to divorce
which is reasonable coz the stance of the catholic church on divorce is pretty strong -

Well, did I leave you guys in suspense what I will reply for the past 2 hours? ha ha....Originally posted by laurence82:do one and say two
I have a bad feeling of what I have written just now. So I have been thinking what went wrong on my way back. After a while, I realised the keyword is "asking"!!!! My intended word is "persuading"! But I forget how to spell, and I spelt "pusueing". I realise this mistake and decide to edit it to "urging" but I think this is too strong a word to use. I can't think of a word so I decided to use the word "asking" !! Oh dear........ I never realise I have already "asked" Ben le.
I feel like digging a hole and hide for making this error is my sentence. Oh man... It completely change my meaning.............
laurence82, you are really great you know. I praise you for having such a sharp skill for noticing minute error in words that can change our intended meaning. It helps to wake me up that people are always watching our words.
Suddenly I feel so blessed to have you around in EH. You have been faithfully coming to EH to correct our mistakes and errors. You have been faithfully providing us with information and knowledge. To me, you really help me. You prepare me to the real world of evangelism. Next time, I will be better prepared for all the questions and answers and reactions of non-believers.
laurence82, I really praise you for being so paitent with us in EH, correcting our mistakes and errors every now and then, though you may sound sarcastic at times. Do come EH faithfully.
I have not had my quiet time for quite a few days because of my increased work load. When I'm on my way back, I have been thinking a lot. I realise I have been too impulsive to write without thinking much, perhaps. I must really learn this: "fast to listen, slow to speak". laurence82, I feel that you can really help me to apply this in life. You can help me improve my character. You can help me to think more critically.
Again, I must say that I feel so fortunate to have you around, monitoring our words.
Though, you can change my words, change my errors, change my mistakes, but you can never change my belief.
Having laurence82 around isn't really a bad idea afterall. It helps us to cultivate our patience. I rejoice at your remarks, because I know that with your remarks produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. It helps me realise and affirm of my the christian's belief.
I look forward to having conversation with you.
