關於 why is identity important ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

"In addition to my assignments, I have pursued stories of personal significance. I paid my own way often to create this work, and ultimately it was this work which moved me forward in this business. For this project, I wanted to photograph Native Americans because I was raised with little connection to my heritage. From the people I photographed, I learned about courage and survival. I learned there were great stories to tell that aren't taught in school. I was embraced as a daughter of this heritage.
When I was coming up in the business of photography, there were few grants, if any, specifically supporting women photographers.

The Leica Women Foto Project Award is a big leap toward honoring women and those who identify with a feminine identity, showcasing how we see the world and why our voices are important. So many stories which have been ignored can blossom because of these grants. The Leica Women Foto Project Award and Mentorship applications are open and democratic, where we have a chance to dream, to be seen, to be heard."

Look at the verse Revelation 5:9 in the Greek interlinear to know that the twenty-four elders did not say “You purchased us”. It should be translated as “You purchased [people] to God by Your blood…”

Then, in Revelation 5:10, it should not be “us” or “we”. It should be “You have made them…they will reign.”

You see, the twenty-four elders are NOT the redeemed saints. The song they sang is not about themselves, but rather about the redeemed saints. The elders are not humans. Think about it: if these twenty-four elders were the twelve sons of Israel and the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, why is apostle John who was recounting the vision not part of the twenty four elders?

John is one of the most important apostles, having been the only one to lie on Jesus’ bosom during the last supper, and the only one who was present at the foot of the cross during Jesus’ crucifixion.

Find out the true identity of the twenty-four elders who are seated around Abba God in Heaven, and unlock the other intriguing mysteries in the apocalypse when you read my eBook “The Book of Revelation Explained”.

Daily advice for HK immigrants to the West:

Regarding church membership, my advice would be the same as my previous post about hanging about with your own people. One of the worst things to do is to be isolated. It’s important to join a church community to meet others, especially if you’re a Christian. The second worst thing is to remain ONLY with your own people in church by joining a church only for recent HK immigrants. Despite what you hear from all the so-called influencers (i.e. KOLs), the overseas Chinese churches are quite complex. Most of these KOLs haven’t had an extended stay in any country outside to HK, let alone being exposed to multiple Chinese churches. Some Chinese churches are dysfunctional (I’ll talk about that later) while others are thriving. I do know this because I’ve spoken in every sort of Chinese churches of all different sizes, denominations and convictions all across N. America. By only joining churches with recent HK immigrants, you’ll soon land in your own echo chamber, and you’ll have a really tough time adjusting. If so, why move to a different country? When you join the local Chinese churches, you’ll find that there’re many kinds of Chinese with many convictions. While your experience is totally legitimate, you shouldn’t discount the experience of others. The world doesn’t come in stereotypes. Despite what you think and hear, there’re also some very excellent mainland Chinese who can be really good friends. It may take some time to finally get to know or meet them. It will take some time to adjust to the cultural differences. According to all non-Chinese, we’re all Chinese to your host country. No matter whether you hold on to your HKer identity, you’ll have to cope with being “Chinese”. That means you will have to associate with and befriend other types of Chinese eventually. Your value as a HKer increases when you have a chance to share your experience with them. During the protest, I’ve had very good Mainland Chinese friends telling me that they’ve been praying daily for HK. That’s not something you’ll hear from the news, but that’s no less true. Keep your mind and heart open. You won’t regret it.
