Counting Conversations 2
On Saturday I came back from the week of Water Festival holidays. One of the neighbours came in, sat down on the sofa and started asking me some questions she'd been pondering over the week-
Do Christians believe in 1 God or 3?
Did God create the earth?
How old is the earth?
Who created God?
Why did the first people reject God?
Is it true that Buddha came before Jesus?
If Buddha came before Jesus, isn't it more likely that Buddha is true?
Is it true that Christians drink blood? (No.)
Are Christians allowed to eat food that has been offered to other gods?
To what extent can Christians participate in Buddhist festivals (e.g. funerals)?
It was a lively discussion...theology in my primary-school-level Khmer. But I'm so glad my friend is asking these questions!

Hey Pip!!
These are great questions.. sounds like the Spirit is doing His work in her heart!!
Very exciting stuff.
You can pray for a friend that I gave a copy of the Aussie bible to on the weekend - he's in the Fire Brigade and was stoked to receive it!
