Message: <blockquote data-quote="cyclonite" data-source="post: 354130" data-attributes="member: 787">Satria95:Sorry I don't have much time to elaborate but just a few short points which will help you understand better.Firstly you must understand why we Christians shouldn't hold jossticks. Technically whatever you do physically has nothing wrong because you are not worshipping other Gods. ie: technically you can hold joss sticks and pretend to worship other Gods but that's just what's on the outside. Deep down in your heart you still believe in Jesus and believe that our God is the one and only God. So that's fine because God looks at our heart.BUT!! the controvery over holding joss sticks comes because doing so will cause others to stumble as well. For example, if you have a non christian friend with you (which you definitely would have at your granpa's funeral) then he/she may be wondering 'How come Christians also can hold joss sticks wan?' or maybe another Christian friend more junior than you may be thinking 'How come this fella such a senior christian also holds joss sticks?'So you see the issue is about misleading other people. And worse still as Christians we should live our lives so that people see Christ in us and so that people know we are Christians from 1 look. Holding joss sticks just goes the opposite.The last point I wanna make, you must also know the origin of how joss sticks came about. In China last time, some people die during winter and there'll be no flowers to offer to the Gods when the person dies(coz it's winter). That's how joss sticks came about. Joss sticks are actually made of dried flowers rolled up and the purpose is so that it can fulfill the purpose of offering flowers anytime throughout the year. So holding joss sticks itself is signifying offering burnt offerings to another God. but again that's just on the external.Anyway what you did was ok... alot of my ex senior church leaders follow throughout buddhist funerals too... it's to show respect to the deceased, but when it comes to holding joss sticks they will refuse.</blockquote>
