Ano ang pinagkaiba ng “faith healer” sa “albularyo”?


An albularyo or herbulario is herbalist; using herbs for healing and wellness. A faith healer heals by spiritual/religious ritual or practice and may or may not use herbs. Magkaiba sila. Sometimes nagsasama yung dalawang disciplines sa isang practitioner kaya may nalilito.

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...

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 ...

Dapat ba talagang magbigay tayo ng ikapu sa simbahan?

Una, nasa Bible that we should give to the Lord ten percent of our income. Pero dapat rin nating ingatan kung kanino natin ibinibigay. Talaga bang kay Lord napupunta o kung saan lang? Dapat nating iniingatan ito. Kaya tayo nire-require ni Lord na magbigay sapagkat He promised to return it a hundred fold. The Lord asks us to give so He can give in return. In other words, pinagtatanim tayo ng Diyos para tayo   umani. Noong dumating si Magellan sa Pilipinas, kaya nya nakaaway si Lapulapu dahil humihingi ng tribute. Humihingi ng buwis. Bakit humihingi ng buwis? Dahil ang pagbabayad ng buwis sa hari ng Espanya, kahit ilang barya lang, ay nagpapatunay na nagpapasakop tayo sa kanyang pagiging hari. Kaya ang pagbibigay natin ng tithe to the Lord’s work is an act of submission, parang buwis natin yun. Nagpapasakop tayo tanda sa pagkilala sa Kanyang awtoridad. Kaya kung kinikilala natin ang Diyos na ating hari, nagbibigay tayo ng ating tithes and offering as a token of our submission. ...
