Mystery of the Week

Is Daniel (the bible fellow) a EUNUCH?

For those who dunno what eunuch is, you gotta watch more wuxia (pelem silat).
Can start from one of my favorite story with eunuchs,
Wei Xiao Bao (the guy with 7 wives =P )

Biblical reference (Daniel 1:3 Amplified):
And the [Babylonian] king told Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring in some of the children of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility.

Lawrence Khong argued that..
because these royal family members (daniel and co are in this group) are brought in by the master of eunuchs..
most likely they were also made eunuchs (that's how it was in those days).

of course there is chance that thru some miraculous ways,
daniel and co were not made eunuch (or God reversed the effect of the 'cutting').
but the bible did not record any offspring or family of daniel and co.. all the four of them.
so it seems possible that Lawrence Khong's theory was right.

Anyway, his full msg was wonderful.. I will post that one later.
For now.. I am still amazed by this newly found revelation ^^.

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
