Chapter 5

                        Reflections: Religion and History

-     -   In all time history Religion was a very sensitive subject and still happened.

-      - Everyone has their own understanding and believed about their own religions based on where they live and by blood.

-    -   Most of people are not open to change or to try new things. When they got ask to try new thing they thought they are changing their religion. Most of the time they compared they religion with everything.

-      - Also some historians don’t like the experience that they had been facing about religions and with the believers.

-      -  And some religions were very challenged to prove that was really happened by the historians.

-      -  Historians said they had no serious prove that the religion leaders are really they were lead by the spirit of God.

-      -  In my thought, I am a Christian and I strongly believed that the holy sprit will lead and could happen write the bible based on the Holy Spirit. But the problem is when translated over the year they might lose some word of God or they might add some their thought so this will be a big problem to the new generation believers.

-      -  The other problem was the culture with religion because in different places the same religion will worship different way. This is because the culture. Culture and religions are two different ways but some people are combining them and take them together, then at the end the culture will be the religion.
