stop making fun of me.
its definately a sign. i have received NUMEROUS suggestions to cut my hair. even the daycamp kids make fun of me. they say things like "why WON'T you cut your hair?" and
"you look like a girl" and "you're ugly" and "your hair is so long". parents as well, have told me to cut my hair ie. ernest's dad and sarah kee's mom. yea...its embarrasing. but i like my hair!
ANYWAYS enough about my hair. i beat jeremy at 21 today. that was nice. and then there were other "unimportant" details of my day. nothing big. nothing i'll remember past tonight :P
but yea, enough about my day. thought time. fellowship tonight was about the da vinci code and misconceptions about it. one thing that really stuck with me was how he (tony costa...the man with two first names) mentioned how the gospels of the Bible were chosen. i guess i was one of those "ignorant" Christians who didn't know a whole lot about his own faith, but it wasn't even until last summer that i even found out there were other so-called gospels out there. and ever since, i've wondered how these gospels were chosen over the other ones. it doesnt sound like a big deal, but put it this way. the credibility of the new testament and subsequently the Christian faith itself lies in HOW these books were chosen. there were numerous other books out there, and only a select few are considered divine and truthful. and thus, if they were chosen hap hazzardly, well then, there goes credibility.
so what tony said was that the books were chosen with the following criteria: they had to be either written by apostles of disciples of apostles, and they had to be written within one hundred years of Jesus' time on earth, where the eyewitnesses were still around. that all makes sense and just adds soo much more credibility to these books over the other so called gospels. basically, for the first criteria, that ensures that all of the accounts were first/second hand accounts, and ensures accuracy. and as for the second, that jsut means that if any of it were not accurate, then someone (if not MANY) would surely have refuted those texts.
i think thats it... yea, it was better when he said it.
in other news. frosh connexion tomorrow! im so excited!

haha. i actually didn't read the da vinci code. so i didn't really got too much out of "this book is only fiction!" but the stuff about the gospels were certainly interesting. and the painting of the last supper, and who's sitting next to who.
anyways. i vote no hair cut. nothing beats emo hair.
