Hieroglyphs

Hieroglyphic Inscription

The ancient Egyptians used the distinctive script known today as hieroglyphs (Greek for "sacred words") for almost 4,000 years. Hieroglyphs were written on papyrus, carved in stone on tomb and temple walls, and used to decorate many objects of cultic and daily life use. Altogether there are over 700 different hieroglyphs, some of which represent sounds or syllables; others that serve as determinatives to clarify the meaning of a word.

The Pyramid and Mummies

Do you agree that one can receive eternal life by making mummies and building pyramid? Explain with the help of biblical perspective.

I don't agree that one can receive eternal life by making mummies and building pyramid. According to the Bible, we can only receive eternal life by receiving Jesus Christ as our personal saviour. As it is written in John 3:16-17 "For God so love the world, He gave his one and only Son that whoever believe in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believed stands condemned already because he has not believe in the name of God's one and only Son."

Valentine's Day

The Valentine's Day falls on Saturday, 14 February this year. This is a day that people show their love by sending cards, chocolates, flowers or other gifts.

I read from a newspapers that apart from Valentine's Day, there are White Day and Black Day that link with Valentine's Day. White Day is one month after Valentine's Day. It is the day for returning love. Black Day is another month after the White Day.

If a girl receives a gift from a boy on the Valentine's Day and accepts the love of the boy, she should send him back a gift on White Day. If she does not return the gift, she then tells the boy that she rejects his love.

There are other boys who may be rejected by girls. They will then join together on the Black Day. They would eat noodles in black bean sauce to celebrate their single lives.

I think it is quite funny and interesting ideas. I doubt the boys would tell other boys that they would be rejected by girls.
