"I have been to churches in Thailand, Mymmar and Taiwan. The interesting part is where I see Christians using Joss-sticks to worship God in churches, some older people may even offer some food at the altar whereby most of us won't agree to this kind of practise."
Wait till you've been to Bali *giggles* Its facinating! "The reason behind these scenes is that most of these uneducated and not western influenced people are used in their former way of praying to a God and especially the old folks who are very stubborn when told of this is not the Christian way to worship, you may find that certain quoting from scriptures may not agree with their actions, " excuse me but... why is this 'western way' or 'educated' manner more authentically christian? their hearts and faith are really genuine in God the Trinity, they only listen to bible preachings daily in churches and aren't educated like us to read and interpret scriptures easily, what I can say here is the Faith of theirs and works of faith in love and compassion for others which God is actually looking in, "not their unintentional actions like offering food or praying in their custom styles, this is where we learn to respect and share with others in this world." Accuturation is really quite intentional. Try the Peranakan Mass at Holy Family.
