Ok bang huwag na lang umattend sa birthday party ng ka-close kasi wala kang pangregalo?


No. Your presence could be your gift.

Close naman kayo eh. Mas mabuting dumalo kaysa absent.

Nawawala ba ang salvation?

The Bible says that when one person accepts Jesus as his Healer, Savior and Lord, the angels in heaven rejoice. If you prayed to receive Jesus and believe it in your heart, remember this day. Because Today, according to the Bible, your name is written in heaven. And if you commit sin, you will still be saved. The question is about the security of salvation. Is salvation lost when you commit a sin? Now, in fairness to scholarship, let me tell you that the Christian community has two ideas abou this. Several Bible scholars and theologians say yes, but there are also those who say no, it is not lost. I think that we have to look at the two types on holiness, the legal and the actual holiness. When I accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord I don’t become actually holy; I become legally holy. Meaning, what He did for me make me holy, what He did for me I cannot undo. I am given a legal status called clean. The Bible calls me clean. I’m now called a child of God. So, if I accept Jesus as my...

Masama bang magninang/magninong sa binyag at sa kasal ang isang born-again?

Isang maselang bagay! Ang kaselanan ng bagay na ito’y cultural. Tayong mga Pilipino ay maka-kamag-anak, mahilig makipagkapwa at mahilig makipagkaibigan. Part of our culture yung positive na pakikisama. Noong dumating yung Protestantism, because they don’t have child baptism, itinuro ng mga missionaries sa atin yung napaka-simplistic approach na ‘Humiwalay kayo, huwag nyong gawin. Kasi hindi nila nauunawaan sa ating kultura yung Anakin mo yung nagpapaanak sa’yo. Lalo’t pamangkin mo, pinsan mo, etc., etc. Hindi ganun kasimple. Sa culture nila na individualistic, kaya nilang sikmurain yon. Kaya yung mga sekta na sumusunod sa ganung payo, dapat nilang isa-alang-alang na iba ang kultura ng nagpayo at iba ang kultura ng pinayuhan. Let me tell you a story. Minsan may lumapit sa akin para Anakin ko raw sa binyag ang anak niya. First and foremost, pag kayo’y nilapitan ng ganito, dapat kayong matuwa kasi it’s an honor. Huwag nyong sabihing, Lumayo ka sa akin, satanas! Honor yun at una mong gaw...

Kasalanan ba ang kumain ng dinuguan?

Blood was considered life in the Old Testament and was forbidden as food. But the New Testament declared that all foods sold in the meat market could be eaten. Was blood ever sold in the meat market in the Old Testament? Walang record na ganito sa Old Testament, so gray area. Pero malinaw sa New Testament na lahat ng pwede mong kainin na nabibili sa palengke ay puwedeng kainin.   Kapag bumili tayo ng meat, sa totoo lang, wala namang guarantee na ito’y 100% na walang dugo. Sa Corinth, isa sa mga discussion nila ay ang Christian liberty. Isa lang ang gusto kong i-highlight or i-focus dito sa Christian liberty. Lahat ay pwede mong kainin pero alang-alang sa isang kapatid na hindi acceptable sa kanya ang pagkain ng dinuguan, huwag kang kumain nun. Para huwag nang maging isyu at para hindi magulo ang buhay, kumain na lang kayo ng iba. Ang dami pa namang putahe sa mundo—merong   dinengdeng, kare-kare, bulanglang—ang dami pa! Kung umalis na siya, eh di kumain ka nang kumain ng ...
