law breaker

As an unclean woman she should have stayed away from people.
Her faith resulted in disobedience to the rules and norms of Jewish society.

Her faith may have resulted in disobedience, but more importantly her faith led her to Jesus.
Faith leads people to Jesus.

did trees die before the fall of man?

 i wonder if trees ever died before the fall of man.

was death caused by 'sin'. adam and eve's disobedience to God's command not to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge?

heaven, what if it really is like a place with no suffering,

where everyone just accepts their lot in life,

i dont want to have 'responsibilities' after i die, (yeah i'm kinda lazy, and the word kinda makes me think of 'work')

however, if it was do something i'd love to do for eternity i wouldn't mind...

what if heaven is like that, being able to do what we were intended to do from the start

what did God intent for me to do? what was His plan?

hmm...

in nature, everything plays its part,

every organism has its role,

no one is bad nor good,

things grow, reproduce seeds, die

bacteria decomposes the dead into nutrients

for the next generation to use,

it's all a cycle really,

a circle of life,

death and rebirth,

and endless cycle

(i guess that's why the Buddhist keeps trying to escape it)

hmmm..

heaven

where everything is in perfect harmony with each other

no more suffering, no more pain,

no more wars, only peace....

will there still be freedom?

will there still be individuality?

how could a place be conflict free if everyone was still able to keep their own mind,

transformation,

the process of sanctification here on earth 

that's why its so important,

this Christianity thing,

it's preparing each of us for eternity in a way no other process would

heaven isn't a goal, it isn't a destination

it's a process, it's a place where we come to at the end,

it's what's beyond the journey,.. after we've walked it

and it's in this journey,

that we face the struggles, obstacles and challenges in life

that would give us the opportunity to make choices,

that would mould our character

yes...

this is why we're still on earth,

we're not ready for heaven yet

keep on living

there will be joy

purposely intention (刻意 Kèyì) vs special intention (特意 Tèyì)

 刻意 -Kèyì

so apparently, there's this saying in chinese called Ke(4) Yi(4) which means "deliberately" when translated into english. But see in english the word deliberately can be used for both good and bad actions/intentions.

Ke yi is doing something on purpose KNOWING that it is bad.

like, i know it its wrong to do this at my work place,
but i still choose to do it.

mind blowing eh,

if you have a word in language that actually describes this malice (恶意, Èyì)

... hmmm... well maybe the english language also has it haha.

but anyways..

the oppposite of Keyi is Tèyì (特意)

Which is like.. doing something good, (but translates to "specially" on google translate)

i think it's like.. benovelent? (仁慈 Réncí)

anyways... i just asked my GF whom speaks chinese.

so yeah the 意 Yi means intention

刻 Ke is purposely

特 Te is specially 

so the examples she gaves was

use keyi for not throwing out the rubbish (even though you know you should do it)

and teyi for preparing a present for someone (something good you'd wanna do)

tadaaa! some chinese lessons for today,

feel free to correct me in the comments or give your opinions about it

owhhh and there's another: 故意 Gùyì

its used when you're accusing someone of doing something bad.. lol
