Let us understand this religious phenomenon.
For a religious believer (precisely a Christian) to grow/build his or her faith to the extent of relying and believing in God at every point, and evidently choosing to contact God at every slightest inconvenience, we would all agree that such a person have attain and gained some level of Religious Knowledge to back such a solid faith.
This inadvertently is the case with the members of the CHOSEN COMMUNITY.
They examplify their faith and trust in God by adapting to the phrase “I am a Chosen – Who are you?” using same phrase as a defence mechanism when they deem fit.
Irrespective of the current multifarious individual dispositions about the utterances and actions of members of the CHOSEN community, the outburst of public mockeries and loathful comments about members of this denomination are really peddled in religious ignorance.
If you should criticize, then criticize the individuals who abuse religious privileges (but subtly and in logical brilliance) and not the religion.
It would amaze us to know that these contemptuous skits and comments against members of the CHOSEN community has gone beyond the sphere of their acclaimed religious excessiveness and is now indirectly and adversely affecting the Christian Religion.
The impact would most effectively cast aspersions upon believers faith on what can be miraculously done by God.
While you expect God to miraculously bless your endeavors, you doubt and mock those who testify to their miraculous experiences. Even though you disagree with their narratives, there are more civil ways of making your points. We must learn to properly structure our criticisms.
Today, it is the CHOSEN community, tomorrow, it may be your church and because you’ve failed to understand that the Christian faith is one irrespective of denominations, when that table turns to your direction, you’ll also watch yourself reaping from your seed of asininity of today.
Over and out!!!
