Tuesday, July 14. 2009Interreligious relations
The advances in Science and Technology and the leveling of frontiers and boundaries have all contributed to a greater awareness of the pluralism of faiths, culture and peoples not only in the world but also in our own community.
Today, people everywhere have begun to be aware that they live amid many and diverse faiths, and cultures. Though many and different peoples are, they need not be hostile nor indifferent to each other. In fact, these diversities invite all sundry to make a shift in paradigms from hostility to partnership; from indifference to involvement; and from being close to being open to one another. This new relational paradigm teaches us that notwithstanding our differences and diversities we all live on this earth, in fact, on this piece of land. The bottom line is the affirmation that we are together in the journey through life. For better or worse, we are neighbors and we hope and believe that as neighbors, we can be partners in building not only of a better world but more so of a friendlier community where you and I, and our children live as brothers and sisters. For this to happen, there are three basic steps that we need to pursue in season and out of season. o The first step is to take our pluralism seriously. We are different yet there is that ‘kind redness’ that need to seriously experience. This is the common bond in our humanity. o The second is to be open to each other and learn to live with each other in tolerance and respect. This will only happen when we begin to accept, to trust one another and to live together as good neighbors. o Third, is our commitment to guarantee the rights and dignity of every person regardless of faith, gender, culture and color within our society/community. The basis of this commitment is our belief that all peoples even though they belong to different religions, nations, etc. all form ONE human family, created by the ONE and same God, living in the same world/community, and destined for a common end. In interreligious relations there is one WORD that can describe our efforts and endeavors - TRUST! Trust is NOT a universal element in human relations. It has to be slowly, patiently and sometimes painfully built through time. One of the giants in interreligious relations is the late Pope John Paul II. In his visit to the Grand Mosque of Damascus (May 2001), his message to Muslims and Christians calls for a new relationship between these two great religions. “It is my ardent hope that Muslim and Christian religious leaders and teachers will present our two great religious communities as COMMUNITIES IN RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE, NEVER MORE AS COMMUNITIES IN CONFLICT”. It is crucial for the young to be taught the ways of respect and understanding, so that they will not be led to misuse religion itself to promote or justify hatred and violence. Violence destroys the image of the Creator in his creatures, and should never be considered as the fruit of religious conviction.” “Better mutual understanding will surely lead to a more objective and comprehensive knowledge of each other’s religious beliefs at the practical level, to a new way of presenting our two religions NOT IN OPPOSITION, as it happened too often in the past, BUT IN PARTNERSHIP FOR THE GOOD OF THE HUMAN FAMILY.” “Many serious obstacles remain, yet the first step towards peace must be a steadfast conviction that a SOLUTION IS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE PARAMETER OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE RESOLUTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS. I appeal once more to all the peoples involved and to their political leader, to recognize that confrontation has failed and will always fail. Only a just peace can bring the conditions needed for the economic, cultural and social development to which the people of the region have a right." No doubt, you and I can spell the difference in making the Southern Philippines a genuine zone of peace and partnership between and among Christians, Muslims and Indigenous peoples. As the talks of resumption of peace negotiation hang in the air, this new partnership and involvement in the peace process should shape the social cohesion that should characterize the relations between Christians, Muslims and the Indigenous peoples.

Honestly we could only picture a peaceful Mindanao, ahh a safe place for Christians, Moslems and all the people that want to see the beauty of this promise land.
The truth, 2 teachers are still in the hands of the bandits. I wonder what paradigm shift they are into, like bombing places where innocent lives are taken....haha the military did it..they say. I guess as of this moment interreligious dialogue is not yet widely understood by the majority. Even among Catholics, very few are involved with this beautiful ministry. Nonetheless I am very hopeful that one day, in God´s day and way, everybody will actively engage with this self-discovering and self-revealing encounter with the "other".
Saludos desde Argentina Padre! Berbs Querido Mark,
Paz! Esta una sorpresa de leer su commentarios sobre dialogo interreligioso. Si es una lengua nueva que tenemos aprendir y hablar en una sociodad donde el pluralismo prevale... Paz y Bien! Jun Mercado, OMI when u say "beautiful ministry", is this the meaning of "ministry" you refer to?
"in Christianity, the office held by persons who are set apart by ecclesiastical authority to be ministers in the church or whose call to special vocational service in a church is afforded some measure of general recognition. The type of ministry varies in the different churches. That which developed in the early church and is retained by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Old Catholic, Anglican, and some Protestant churches is episcopal (see episcopacy) and is based on the three orders, or offices, of bishop, priest, and deacon." - from dictionary.com if it is, then U DON'T understand what interreligious dialogue is. brush up well, before you actually engage in interreligious dialogue, or you could be causing more trouble. I´m so sorry if I cause ambiguity rather than clarity. The meaning of the wird "ministry" that I am referring is the participation and collaboration to Christ salvific work in human history. Jesus fulfill his "MINISTRY" by proclaiming the immiment coming of the reign og God. It is by virtue of this christological underpinning of this word that our participacion should be be understood.
Secondly, the word beautiful is an affirmation of the plurality and diversity of "charismatic" gifts of the Holy Spirit in our engagement with this ministry. Beauty resides in plurality and not in uniformity. Pope john paul and pope benedict will be utilized by a hidden shadow to take advantage on what is happening around the world like global crisis, unstable world peace and many more that is actually affecting the whole human populace.
Pope is behind the 666.. he is evil pretending to be godly... but behind him is the midnight terror.. just you wait and see... it's true.. it's true
That's the irony of religion. All teach the good but only few choose to follow.
It is my dream that there will be a time when the entire world will only have one religion. Then, I think, peace will follow. that would not happened... have you lost your mind? or you just simply don't read your Bible? ha !Ha here's a prayer of an atheist...
I pray to God if there is God... to Save my sould if I have soulllll surely that's very obvious that deep in the heart of those who doesn't believe in God they are just convincing themselves/thereselves that there is no God so that they could mess around and feeling free... but you could never be free without a a law.. hence.. you're a lost case..ipparable and you're just a bubble in the air... once it pop out you're gone... Hopeless dream? Hopefully not!
Imagine there is no religion and teach our children the common law and our natural existence. Then there will be harmony and peace. The truth is it is embedded in out genes to believed or create God and gods. Socialism has experimented on this idea of Godless utopia but they all failed except for China.
Imagine there is no God.....and no religion too. Imagine all the people. Imagine there is no Muslim in Mindanao but corrupt christian killing each other. Peps,
Peace! I am also a great fan of JHohn Lennon... and Imagine remains one of my favorites... Let me share some short reflections related to this theme.
First, it could be helpful to see dialogue as a way of life. Dialogue could be instrumental, i.e. a mere instrument to pacify the other party. This is founded on the fallacy that I monopolize the truth and the other monopolizes the falsehood. This is not a helpful dialogue and in fact, is “a violence with a new name.” Dialogue should help us develop first the capacity to listen and only subsequently, the capacity to respond. Second, for us Christians, the Bread shared and broken invites us also to break and share life, to break and share what is necessary in order to live a life worthy of a human being. This therefore calls us not to look for an additional bread but to share the bread that we have. (Mindanao, the earth, is not created only for a particular group of people. The earth knows no muslim, Christian, etc.) Furthermore, it means extending/ expanding our relationships and not only multiplying our relationships. Multiplying our relationships can lead to exclusivism. The more relationships, the more boundaries there are. But the more it is extended, the more it is inclusive. Grazie Bapa e buona continuazione! Carissimo,
Pace! La parola dei saggi! Eh si dobbiamo apprendere come condividere il nostro pane con gli altri, especialmente i poveri... Il dialogo dela vita e inanzitutto il condividere non solo il pane ma anche la vita!!!! Grazie! CBCS condemns the spate of bombings in Mindanao
The Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society (CBCS) condemns in the strongest possible terms the recent spate of bombings in Mindanao and makes the following calls and clarifications: • That a thorough investigation by a credible independent body be conducted on all incidents of bombing (July 4 in Datu Piang, Maguindanao; July 5 in Cotabato City; July 6 in Lanao del Norte; and July 7 in Jolo and Iligan City) to unmask the truth behind them (who perpetrated/masterminded them, for what motives/reasons, are they related to one another) and bring the culprits to justice; • That responsible reporting be observed always by the media. The people of Mindanao cannot afford the Christian-Muslim killings of the 1970’s to resurface. After the Cotabato City blast, news reports have spread that give the impression that it was the cathedral that was bombed. To make it clear, the blast took place in a stall selling lechon across the cathedral compound. It totally wrecked the stall and also damaged a portion of a certain beerhouse. Nevertheless, this makes no excuse to bomb the place; • That places of worship be spared from any form of violence and/or desecration. The blast in Jolo also happened near a church. We denounce the bombings in the same manner that we condemn acts by men in uniform who occupied mosques, urinated in them and/or desecrated them; • That the immediate acts of finger-pointing be stopped to prevent further escalation of the conflict and to contain any possible public panic to pave the way for sobriety, as well as thoughts and actions that are reasonable and not solely driven by biases, emotions and preconceived notions that may be wrong; • That all people should be accorded their human rights, including both victims and suspects. The incremental number of victims of human rights violations has long been alarming. No one should be another victim of human rights violation in pursuit of justice. Due process should always be observed in dealing with suspects to the bombing: one is innocent until proven guilty, not one is guilty until proven innocent; • That groups of all faiths here in Mindanao be more vigilant and strengthen their unity and solidarity in the face of these bleak incidents. This is NOT a Muslim-Christian conflict. Let us clear our minds and fortify our greatest resolve not to allow these dastardly acts to successfully sow suspicion and animosity that could lead to conflict; and, • That the peace panels of the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front return to the negotiating table to solve the age-old Mindanao conflict. The problem of the Bangsamoro as an indigenous people is highly political that it can only be resolved through genuine political means and not through military operations. Quelling rebellion and bringing peace are two different things. The peace talks are the highest form of dialogue between the two parties. A final agreement between them could spell sustainable peace and development in the Bangsamoro homeland. We join in consoling and comforting the families of the victims of the blasts, the more than half a million internally displaced persons who have also been further agonized by indiscriminate bombings in the very sites of evacuation, and other people who are victims of injustices. Our prayers for the attainment of genuine peace and development.

The challenge of globalization will overtake the sacredness of all organized religions due to the facts that religions in Asia and around the World does not hold a firm ideas and realities of what they were teaching and believing, uncertain people will turn away from the True Faith as prophesied in Matthew 24:10-14 “at that time many will turn away from the Faith and will betray and hate each other and many false prophets will appear and deceived many people, because of increased in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved”. The influenced of earlier religious belief with paganistic practices, humanistic philosophies, Hellenistic and adaptation of mythologies, caused a great misunderstanding the Messiah of Nazareth whose name was called YAHSHU’A that walked on this earth 2,000 years ago. Religious men and women knew that the letter J was newly invented about 375 years ago but still insist on calling the Latinized Greek name and title Jesus Christ that the Messiah of Nazareth was not called and never been called in his lifetime when he walk on this earth 2,000 years ago. For the past 2,000 years churchianity has been constructing another building, which rests upon another cornerstone cut from a quarry of Greco-Roman teachings. These beliefs are cemented with false teaching and paganistic practices and humanistic philosophies and include a Savior bearing a Latinized Greek name. This spiritual building does not rest upon the foundation of the true Redeemer of Israel. Our Bible is HEBREW and main performers were Hebrew people, not Greek or Roman. The false foundation of Churchianity later influenced the next to be born religions, the Islam, Protestants and the present organized religions. This false foundation will caused the uncertain people to prioritize the Secular Globalization that will overtake the religious belief and fulfilled the prophecy in Matthew 24:10-14. The foundation of belief of most of the religions of the world is the Bible. The Bible is the compilation of writings of ancient Hebrew people about the Almighty One, the Creator of Heavens and Earth and everything on it, the Universe and Mankind. Also we believed the Bible is the Manual of Mankind. Do you agree that the Bible is the Manual of Mankind? Therefore we all believed that the Bible is the Manual of Mankind. A lady Salutatorian in High School in Quezon City almost 40 years ago I ask her if she read the manual of her car, and she says of course how I can operate my car in correct and proper operations if I will not read and understand the manual of my car. I ask again, How about the manual of your television, she answered, yes how can I operate all the features of the television if I will not read and understand the manual. I told her if I will file up all books and magazine you read, it will be taller than you? Of course she answered. The last question I ask is How about the Manual of Mankind has you read it? What is that Manual of Mankind she asked me? As we all agreed earlier that the Bible is the Manual of Mankind. If you did not read the Manual of Mankind you cannot operate all the features of mankind and you cannot operate yourself in correct and proper ways. In that logic do you agree? So therefore no one can give advice or correct someone if he or she has not read and understand the manual of Mankind. If that so happened that a man or a woman who does not read and understand the Manual of Mankind give advices to someone, do you think it will be correct advice? Of course not a good advise. I was at home when a Religious Pastor approaches me and told me ‘Brother I want to save your soul’. I asked the Pastor, how can you saved my soul? He answered, by means of this Bible. I asked again the Pastor, You will save my soul by means of that Bible? ‘Yes’ the Pastor answered and uttered verses in the Bible that ‘God has love the world that he gave his only begotten son Jesus Christ to save us’. I asked again the Pastor, ‘are you really a Pastor?, He answered me ‘Yes’, I asked again, ‘As a Pastor you want to save my soul by means of the Bible but did you read the whole of the Bible? The Pastor answered ‘Yes’, I asked again the Pastor the second time and the Pastor swear, he did not read the whole of the Bible but repeated again the verse “God has love the world that he gave his only begotten son Jesus Christ to save us”. Then I told the Pastor that I am a Surgical Doctor and I have operated many cases of Appendicitis in our place but the only problem is I did not read the whole of the manuals and books of being a Surgical Doctor. Then I asked the Pastor ‘will you allow me to make operations on your appendicitis? Immediately the Pastor refused to be operated, he told me that because I did not read the manuals and books of being a Surgical Doctor, this might caused death to my patients by tetanus. I told him also how much more you (Pastor) did not read the whole of the Bible and you will make operations on my Soul to save me, my soul might likewise get tetanus that will caused death. In Saudi Arabia I was invited on Islam Conversion Lectures at Batha Muslim Center Riyadh. The Lecturer is a Filipino claimed he was formerly a Jehovah’s Witnesses Lecturer before he was converted into Islam belief. The Lecturer told us that to be a Muslim you need to follow the five pillars, the Shahadah or twin testimonies, Salah the five times prayer, Zakat the alms giving, Sawm is fasting during Ramadan month, Hajj is pilgrimage to city of Mecca. Every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so is obliged to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in his or her lifetime. The Lecturer also claimed that from Adam to Noah to Jesus all of the prophets and patriarch in the scriptures are all Muslim. And the last thing he claimed that all of this was written and everything not written we must not believed and accept. Then the Lecturer allows me to raise questions. ‘Mr. Lecturer you claimed that everything written only we will believed and accept but not written we must not believed. To be a Muslim is to follow the five pillars you mentioned, and also that from Adam to Noah to Jesus all of them were Muslim as you claimed. Now I asked my question is Adam, Noah to Jesus all of them Muslim and therefore they followed the five pillars and the same time they practice Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, my question is where it was written that Adam, Noah to Jesus that they performed Hajj in Mecca? The Lecturer was not able to answer. That moment I continue asking the Lecturer questions, “when you were Lecturer in Jehovah’s belief had you read the whole of the Bible? The Lecturer answered that no need to read the Bible since he was converted to Islam but I asked again if he read the whole of the Bible during the time when he was the lecturer of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He insist that no need to read since he was converted into Muslim and at the time he was Lecturer in Jehovah’s Witnesses he did not read the whole of the Bible. Then I asked the Lecturer, “how about now, had you read completely the Holy Koran”? In this moment other members interrupt and intervene in the discussion. I keep on praying to Yahweh of my safety and I was saved and was able to exit alive thru the help of their high priest named Professor Sawalahadid that I had a healthy conversation a month ago. The point here I want to reiterate that those lecturers, teachers, and pastors of the Bible they did not read the whole contents of the Bible but only they relied on the Dogmas and Doctrines of their affiliated religion. In Yemen I was invited in their church by a Filipino OFW turned Pastor. Immediately the Pastor told me that Yahweh is only found in Old Testament but now we are in the New Testament era and no more in the Old Testament. At that point of conversation, I took his Bible and try to separate the Old Testament from the New Testament. The Pastor asked me why I am trying to torn the Bible. I told him “As what you said no more Old Testament so I am removing the Old Testament in your Bible, and immediately the Pastor took his Bible. I told the Pastor that my father in the Philippines send me five (5) pages letter but my colleagues distributed the five pages letter into my five site offices, the page five (5) I received first and read the last page of the letter of my father. The following week I arrived in my second site office I found page four (4) of my father’s letter, I asked the Pastor do you think I already understood the will of my father? The pastor answered “No, because you read only the last two pages of the letter”. After another week I found page three (3) on the third site office and page two (2) in my fourth site office and page one (1) in my fifth site office. I asked again the Pastor “do you think I understood now the will of my father after reading the letter from page 5 down to page 1? The pastor answered “No, because you need to read the letter in correct sequence to understand the will of your father. Then I asked the Pastor “whose will to write this Bible? The Pastor answered “The will of the Father in Heaven”. Therefore if you read only New Testament it was like you read only page 5 and 4 of the letter of my father and you told me that still you will not understand the will of your father, how much more you did not read the old testament is like you did not read page 1 to 3 of the letter of my father that you said still I will not understand because I need to read the letter in correct sequence to understand the will of your father. If you did not read the Bible in correct sequence you will not understand the will of the Father in Heaven. I told the Pastor why are you teaching? In your teaching you will bring your student to falsehood understandings. Then commotion again happened and I was saved again by Yahweh from troubles. The fiction or non-fiction pocket book which is much more thicker than the Bible we can read completely and discussed diligently with our friends of the whole contents of the pocket book, but the smaller than the pocket book the Bible we cannot read and we have no knowledge about it but we only rely our understanding on those Pastors and Priest who did not also read the Bible in whole. It’s not fair; we don’t give importance to the most important of all, the Manual of Mankind. In our houses we make the Bible as a Display only, the Bible is still new and unopened, We walk on Sunday holding the Bible on the street going to our church but we did not read it, we only hold the Bible as a display to say that we are good or religious. Better are those that show they were not religious but read the whole of the Manual of Mankind. Do you know that before, only Kings and rich people can afford to own a Bible and they are very few who has the opportunity to read the Bible. How much more this time we have all the opportunities to read and understand the contents of the Bible. But, why I will read the whole contents of the Bible if whatever I read in the Bible is not being practiced and followed in Churchianity that I belong to. What we noticed was being practiced and followed now on our generation were the teachings of man. Let’s see some of this teaching of man that were fooling our society and we continue to agree and be part of the lies and falsehood in our societies belief, or else we will be considered FOOLS or INSANE. Example is the word Dece means ten, Septe means Seven. Septe in our society that we agreed is September is nine, October is ten, November is eleven, Dece is twelve, but Dece means ten, therefore December is the tenth month and on the last day the 31st is the last day of the year making the 11th month the First month and start of the new year. Will you start your New Year on March 1st and greet everybody Happy New Year on March 1st. You will be called fool, insane, it is not even Chinese New Year, and people will laugh at you. The next day will start at 12:01 midnight and end on 12:00 midnight also this was introduced by Pope Gregory X on 13th century about 700 years ago. The original start of day on the time of the Messiah 2,000 years ago is the day start after the sunset and end on sunset of the next day. We can say today the time is 7:00 p.m. is (Friday) no it was already (Saturday the Sabbath day) because sunset already passed; it is not (Friday) anymore. So we are weird. The Seventh day was made Holy and to make Holy convocation but the Seventh day become the First day the Sunday where Holy convocation is held on Sunday not on Sabbath day which is Saturday. And many more as prophesied in Daniel 7:25 “He will speak against the Most High and oppress his Saints and try to change the set times and laws”. But one of the Greatest Mistake in our present time is calling the wrong and different name for the Messiah of Nazareth. The only name to be saved according to Acts of the Apostles 4:12 is in the name JESUS (Acts 4:12 there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved”). The name JESUS was never and never been used to call the Messiah of Nazareth when Messiah walked on this earth 2,000 years ago. It was published in Catholic Digest on January 1992 vol.32, no.6 How Yeshu’a become Jesus by JOSEPH STALLINGS. The Messiah’s name is Yeshu’a in Aramaic pronounced ‘yahshua’ was translated Iesous in Greek pronounced as ‘yeh-soos’ and translated Iesus in Latin pronounced ‘yay-soos’. When Letter J was invented by German-Dutch printer on year 1633 about 375 years ago the Latin name Iesus become JESUS pronounced dyezuz. The Latin name Iesus was translated to Arabic as Issa, well known to Islam. So the mistakes of churchianity were brought to another belief. The Reformation and the present well organized religious groups followed the same mistake in calling on the wrong and mistaken name for the Messiah of Nazareth. Other will say ‘You know when translated into another language the name also change. Let’s translate into Tagalog “President of America Bill Clinton visited the Philippines”. In Tagalog language ‘Pangulo ng Amerika si Batingting (Bell) Malinis (Clin) Tonelada (Ton) ay dumalaw sa Pilipinas’. The name now become famous is Beel-Clean-Ton (Batingting-Malinis- Tonelada) is the president of America that visited the Philippines it was no longer Bill Clinton. If you say the correct name is Bill Clinton people will laugh at you because the one become famous is Batingting Malinis Tonelada . The same as in the only name given among us to be saved is in the name YAHSHU’A not Beel-Clean-Ton or Batingting Malinis Tonelada or Jesus. So if you say Yahshu’a is the name of Messiah people will laugh at you. Try to tell this name Yahshu’a in your home when you go home today, they will laugh at you. How much more it was prophesied that “you will be hated by all nation for my name sake” for the sake of the name Yahshu’a you will be hated by all in Matthew 24:9. Do you got my point? The personal name cannot be translated but transliterated meaning transferring the name by sound, like name Mao-Tse-Tung is ‘mao-tse-tung’ also in any language. What we want to reiterate the correctness should start on our self on our personal faith; next correctness will follows like a domino effect in our family, to our friend, in our society, in the politics, in economy, in regionalization understanding and in globalization policies. We were taught by unlearned teacher in the past and the continuation of their teachings, still indoctrinating the mind and belief of our society especially of our youth. What will be the result? The continuations of indoctrination of wrong and false teaching into our youth will result to our future leaders and people will depend and relies on the falsehood and will no longer accept the truth as what is going on now. As I remember my poem when I was in my grade schools, I will recite for all of us “We are what we are today, because You our Elders have made us this way, We are what we are, because we had become a victim, an endless victim of your bungler and smugness, your incompetence …” Now this time the elders I am talking is I myself and you my dear readers and intellectuals, will we not stand to correct the wrong, will we not move our hands to change the falsehood into truth? When I will start to move, this is the same question I asked myself when I found the falsehood, maybe I will move if I am now old, yes I will move when I am no longer active in my organization, or I will move to correct the falsehood when I am no longer here in this world. Remember our life is so short, how many more years I will live, how many more years you will live? Lets move now and correct the falsehood in ourselves and specially in our belief and everything will follows, our family and relatives will follow, our friends will follow, our society will follow, our politics of course will follow, our life style or way of life will be corrected and the economy will follow, regional and global understanding will based on our basic foundation that is the TRUE and CORRECT FOUNDATION that can only be found in the MANUAL OF MANKIND THE BIBLE. How the Falsehood in Religion Interact with Regionalism and Globalization Because of very fast communication and bulks of information in the internet, this falsehood will be revealed and those hiding in white garments will be unmasked and people will no longer believe in their teaching that will turn away from the Faith and will betray and hate each other, and because of increased in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. There will be no more Good Samaritans in the road, their will be no more alms-givers, their will be no more philanthropies, everything will be with price, there will be no more free in this world even the basic needs, as we are experiencing now. You have to pay when you use the comfort room, you have to pay when you enter the park to relax your eyes, and time will come that we need to pay to have fresh air to breath. As what is going on now in Europe, church-goers are becoming lesser and lesser and priesthood is no longer popular professions. Churchianity in particular will loose their grab to their members and loose their importance to the society. There will be tremendous effect in our politics. The lawmakers will no longer be influenced by Churchianity and the laws will favor the fast growth of globalization in expense of the basic human right needs. Because of the revelations of falsehood, many will turn away from Churchianity and will betray and hate each other, and because of increased in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. This is because there were no teachers of the TRUTH, there were no GOOD Examples, and there is no TRUE and CORRECT FOUNDATION. Teachers of the TRUTH, how can you teach the TRUTH if you did not study and learned what you are teaching? Teachers based their teaching in the teaching of Man. Teachers teaching Darwin’s theory of Evolution, “You know students MAN came from Monkey”. Evolution is a continuous process, where can we find a man now saying his father is a monkey? But most of our Elders now knew more on Monkey business. There were no GOOD examples, as a leader you must be a good example. But leaders is the one who were corrupt, leaders were the one doing vises, leaders were the one showing correct is wrong and wrong is correct. The leaders is not limited to government officials only but also in show business society and also those famous. Being famous you must show the correctness in you into our society. They married and divorced and married and divorced, having children with different partners, are they good example to our society? Why this is happening, because we have no law that restricts this wrong attitude of our society? We have law that restricts Jaywalkers but we cannot restrict Famous People. Yes we have many laws to restrict them but it was not applied for them. The leaders are not only limited to famous and government official but also all matured individual father or mother or brother or sister of individual family and organizations. As a leader we have to show GOOD Examples to others, but what is the good example? This is the problem, we don’t know the good example to others because we been incorrectly doctrinated by the movies we idolized. As an example when I was in my youth, I was punched in my face and what comes immediately into my mind, I remember the movie I saw when the actor was punched, the actor immediately retaliated with a fist to show that he is a tough guy. But this is wrong; correcting the wrong by applying wrong action is not the solution. If they throw you stone throw them bread as written in the Manual of Mankind the Bible. All seven of the great religions of the world have Golden Rules: The Hindu: "The true rule is to guard and do by the things of others as you do by your own." The Buddhist: "One should see for others the happiness one desires for oneself." The Zoroastrian: "Do as you would be done to you." The Confucian: What you do not wish done to yourself do not do to others." The Mohammedan: "Let none of you treat your brother in a way he would dislike to be treated." The Jew: "Whatever you do not wish your neighbor to do to you, do not unto him." The Christian: "All things whatsoever ye would that men do unto you, do you even so to them." All of this golden rules are good to the sight of men but Without TRUE and CORRECT Foundation, in Proverbs 14:12, it is good to the sight of man but will lead to death” How can we have foundation if no one knows what is right or wrong. No one read the correct foundation that only can be found in the Manual of Mankind the Bible. Now I challenges every one of us here as a pilot project, all of us read the Bible and we come back and meet again, there will be big difference in you, each and everyone of us here will have different understanding from the present, in opinion and in deeds. But how we read the Bible? In John his name is YahYah not John because there was no letter J in his life time. YahYah 14:26 of the New testament ‘ The Holy Spirit will be send by the Father in my Name, and that Holy Spirit will be the one to teach you all things and remind you of everything the Messiah thought”. Our teacher is the Holy Spirit and that Holy Spirit will be send by the Father Yahweh in Heaven thru the name YAHSHU’A only, not on Jesus name or any other name. Therefore when we read the Bible we have to restore the correct name of Yahshu’a whenever we find in the Bible the name Jesus. Also in Old Testament and in New Testament whenever we find God or LORD we have to replace it by the correct name of the Father in Heaven which is YAHWEH. In doing this the Holy Spirit will come to us to teach you of all and everything’s Yahshu’a thought. Bare in mind the reminder in Revelation 22:18 “………” we will not be included in the plagues and curses because we restore the correct name of Yahweh and Yahshu’a. Remember we are not nor removing anything from the Bible, we are only restoring the correct name that the writers removed from the original copy, Jeremiah 8:8. Why don't you just create your own blogsite, maybe we'll just visit you there.
And you are one of them that are being deceived by satan, take note, satan knows also about the bible, he knows about Jesus but he does respect and believe Jesus who is my Personal Savior.
Your profession as a practicing doctor is totally different from the Anointed Pastor who is sharing to you just one verse from the bible that will automatically heal you spiritually and can save your soul right there on that kind of situation if your spirit will humbly respect the Spirit of the Anointed Pastor. Remember this, your carnal mind which very much limited compared to a spirit mind of the pastor. Correction and it is a clerical error,satan do not respect and believe Jesus who is my personal Savior.
nagtatago si Satanas sa likod ng Jesus mo na personal savior mo pala.

Global interfaith dialogue center to be established By Muhammad Samman VIENNA – The follow-up committee of the World Conference on Dialogue announced Wednesday its intention to set up a “global interfaith center” following recommendations from a preparatory committee of Muslims, Christians and Jews, representatives of other world religions, and the head of the International Institute for Peace. The move, prompted by suggestions from King Abdullah, Custodian of the two Holy Mosques, and announced at the conclusion of the conference, sees the preparatory committee tasked with producing recommendations for the center’s functions and administrative structure with support coming from the Muslim World League and the International Institute for Peace until the global center is functioning. The World Conference on Dialogue, in which discussions centered on religious freedom, shared responsibilities to preserve the environment and heritage, dialogue as a tool to achieve peace and reconciliation, and the role of women and youth in dialogue, was attended by Prince Khaled Bin Mansour Aal Saud, the Saudi Ambassador to Austria and Abdullah Bin Abdul Muhsin Al-Turki, Secretary General of the Muslim World League, as well as the head of the World Peace Organization and representatives of different religions and cultures. – Okaz/SG/SPA The above article is published on the frontpage of today's Saudi Gazette english newspaper..... peace
The present day False Prophets you can know them they teach the Wrong Name and therefore wrong doctrines and pretending and hidding in their long garments. They were claiming to be true and correct deceiving all the people by their wrong doctrines in Catholic and in Muslim too. they dont read the full contents of the book they were teaching, making their own interpretation in what ever verses they read but not in the correct meaning in the whole text of the book. example 'You shall not eat for it for in the DAY that you eat you SURELY Die' (Gen.2:17), but SATAN the serpent said You shall Not Surely Die (Gen. 3:4). All people know that Adam died therefore making the word of SATAN the serpent correct. Because they did not read the WHOLE of the Book they did not come to read the end of the book in 2Peter 3:8 'be not IGNORANT of this one thing that ONE Day is a thousand years and a thousand years is one day. that day happened in Paradise and in paradise one day is equivalent to earth time of 1,000 years, Adam died at age of 930 years old not reaching the 1,000 years or one day in paradise. Can you say now that the word od SATAN the serpent is correct?
AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION. ..
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and..... Prof : So you believe in God? Student : Absolutely, sir. Prof : Is God good? Student : Sure. Prof : Is God all-powerful? Student : Yes. Prof : My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.) Prof : You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good? Student : Yes. Prof : Is Satan good? Student : No. Prof : Where does Satan come from? Student : From...God... Prof : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? Student : Yes Prof : Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct? Student : Yes. Prof : So who created evil? Student does not answer. Prof : Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they? Student : Yes, sir. Prof : So, who created them? Student has no answer. Prof : Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God? Student : No, sir. Prof : Tell us if you have ever heard your God? Student : No, sir. Prof : Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter? Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't. Prof : Yet you still believe in Him? Student : Yes. Prof : According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son? Student : Nothing. I only have my faith. Prof : Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has. Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat? Prof : Yes. Student: And is there such a thing as cold? Prof : Yes. Student : No sir. There isn't. (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.) Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.) Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness? Prof : Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness? Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you? Prof : So what is the point you are making, young man? Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed. Prof : Flawed? Can you explain how? Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey? Prof : If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do. Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.) Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.) Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain? (The class breaks out into laughter.) Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir? (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.) Prof : I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son. Student : That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive. WANT TO KNOW WHO THAT STUDENT WAS ? I believe you have enjoyed the conversation... this is a true story, and the student was none other than......... Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the former President of India !! | Luke 20:2-9 'tell us, by what authority does you do these things or who is he that gave you this authority? and he answered and said into them, 'I will also ask you one thing and answer me: The Baptism of John was it from HEAVEN or Of MEN? and they reasoned with themselves saying: 'If we shall say From HEAVEN he will say Why then you belied not? But if we say Of MEN all the people will stone us, for they believed John was a Prophet. And they answered, that they could Not tell where it was'. And Jesus said unto them ' Neither I will tell you by what authority I do this things, then He began to speak to the people in Parable.... Luke 20:19 the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him and they feared the people for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
Your interesting conversation is also against them that think they are wise but they are fools. nice conversation Hahaha! itong mga Krisityanus na ito nagbobolahan na naman kayo? Ano ba talaga ang Interfaith Dialogue na yan. Kapag magkakaharap akala mo mga mukhang mga banal, pagtalikod na puro pailalim na ang mga banat!
Just like what happen sa Cotabato and Jolo, after the incident biglang lumutang si Puñetta (CIA) sa Pinas at nakipag meeting kay UNANO, tapos after ilang days lang lumutang sa TATE ang secret ng CIA na pinagawa ni dating Vice Pres. Cheney! Ano ba yan? Bulag at tanga lang ang hindi nakakakita ng mga pangyayari. Tapos by end of JULY, pupunta si UNANO sa TATE para makipagmeet kay MABAO? Hayyyyyyyy nanang ko po IKAPU! Kayo kayo nalang magbolahan, pasabugin na lang ninyo ang gusto ninyong pasabugin, DONT WORRY may DAY OF JUDGEMENT NAMAN eh! Maaring dito sa mundo hindi kayo hatulan, pero DOON sigurado ang HATOL sa inyo! Ano sa palagay ninyo? ibrahim, buhay ka pa pala! punong puno ka pa rin ng galit at kawalang isip. Miss mo na ba si malvar?
YES TINTOY!!! Hindi ako galit at hindi rin katulad NINYO na walang isip na puro PAKUMBO ang laman ng utak, puro tuta lang ang alam! hak hak hak! Ikaw ang tanungin ko si Chiquito namatay na bakit ikaw BUHAY pa? Dahil sa donation? hak hak hak! nasa sa inyo si Jesus nasa sa inyo ang panginoon ibigay na ninyo ang donation ninyo! DIYAN LANG KAYO MAGALING!
Malala ka na, magpatingin ka kaya sa duktor?
Autistic ka ata. hak hak hak, hindi retarded ako..... ka tarima mo sa pavillion 12 sa mandaluyong, hahaha!
The youth is the hope of the fatherland, wow, but why the youth who is under age according to the law of the land, but have studied in a good school, who have read books about society, and has the level of thinking the same with the middle age person cannot go to a voting place and elect his ideal leader?
Unfortunately, a man who cannot even write his name, who has infringed for many times the liberty of his neighbours, and violated intentionally and maliciously the laws of the civilized world has the right, authority, and privilege to vote a corrupt public officials. I am completely sad…!!! The citizens of this great nation have divided into two categories, the first are those few who lead the people and enslave them to meet their caprices, and the second are those great in number who comfort, serve, and even homage the unscrupulous political leaders, business tycoons, and the interest of the foreign imperialist. This unfortunate individual human being never came to their minds the true meaning of ambition, and to live comfortably, morally, and with dignity. Isn’t great injustice and painful disappointment on the part of those who have no enough money to live uncomfortable and under privilege either in the eyes of law and in the language of fortune? The spirit of freedom and respect for human life in practice have been grossly distorted, disobeyed, and neglected. The only remnant that they have in this unfair world is to vote ideal leader, a leader who cares and loves the future of the hope of the fatherland. However, that very thing is even deceived or seize by force, intimidation, and violence, from the unfortunate member of this ill society. This precarious future must be dealt by heart of those who provoke to change the system of our society. Ladies and gentlemen I appeal in the deepest part of your heart to be united at once to adopt a Parliamentary Form of Government. This kind of government will only allow the brilliant members of the Parliament to choose the Prime Minister as the leader of the nation. Let us entrusted to the few who knows the better, good, stupendous, wonderful, amazing, prodigious, splendid, magnificent, and wow kind of livelihoods for the future of the hope of the fatherland. We once united as one to create a single and large organization, simply to protect our right and to achieve human prosperity in an indiscriminate ways, and to achieve that we created the Bill of Rights which is written as clear as the sun on its provisions the Equal Protection to all citizens of this country. The equality in the eyes of law, and the equal division of wealth and power are just some of the divine precept of the fundamental law of the land.
That organization is the Philippine government, it is designed to give life to all rights mandated under the light of the Supreme Law of the Land, and it is designed to find ample solution to all problems that might arise in the course of living of every faithful and good citizen of this free country. But, ladies and gentlemen I believe that in our current situation, the turmoil in the political arena here in Luzon, the war in Mindanao, and the Global recession, which give shadow to the commoners who are majority member of our society as the most aggrieve party, the government is not the solution, the government is the problem. Hence, the citizens who built this big organization must unite and oblige themselves to address these problems who have invaded for many decades our right to have a beautiful, peaceful, and prosperity kind of life. Let us not surrender, let us fight and fight and fight until we overcome the true enemy of our race, the so called poverty and injustices, let us start our advocacy in changing the form of our government. Let us accept the fact that the government that we created before did not meet our expectations, therefore, we need to abolish it and organize a new one which will deal with our modern kind of living. A government which will choose only the brilliant leaders who have gone to hundred of difficulties and challenges on his way of studying on how to effectively implement their ministerial duties, a government which will finally solve the conflict in Mindanao, and a government which will give bread to the poor. Tanong ko lang.. Bakit tuwing may bibisita isang high ranking US govt official ay magkakaroon ng mga maliit na pambobomba sa ibat ibang bahagi ng bansa esp sa mindanao?
Nung bumisita si Pres. W. Bush, eh weeks before sa pagdating nya ay nagkaroon ng bombing sa Davao. Kaya tuloy nag donate si Pres. Bush ng milyung-milyun dolyares para sa anti-terror fund dahil sa bombings. Last month naman, nagkaroon ng mga maliiit na pambobomba sa mindanao at 1 week after ay dumating pala si US CIA chief panetta sa manila. Malamang mag iwan na naman cya ng millions of dollars to combat terrorism here in our country. Hindi kaya mismong gobyerno at militar lang ang nagbobomba sa mga maliit na bombings na yan? Hindi naman gaano kalakas. Para makakuha lang ng pondo in millions of dollars from the USA to justify the donated funds. Ang militar lang naman ang mga nakikinabang kung may bombang sasabog eh... millions of anti-terror funds are released without audit. haayyy... Let's wait for another US high ranking govt official to visit our country again.. and then another spate of small bombings na naman para makahingi ng millions of dollars of anti-terrorism fund kuno. Yung Bomba bomba na yan pag may US offcials Kagagawan yan ng mga Guardians at Masons na mga Jewish sub-elements group, na mga U.S. soldiers din at mga collaborator ng Special forces ng U.S. Military at ng Catholic at Gobyernong Arroyo.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN SUCH THING...FOR THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD...THE ONLY TRUE GOD AND THAT IS JESUS CHRIST..IT'S CLEAR IN THE BIBLE...THE ONENESS THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS A TACTIC OF THE ENEMY TO RULE OVER THE WORLD AND IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.IT HAS BEEN PROPHESIED IN THE BIBLE.
PEKE ang Bible mo. Jeremiah 8:8 sinulat ng mga sinungaling na panulat ng manunulat
What about being a humanist? Isn't a man more important than the "unseen"?
I would rather love and trust a human being than trust my life to the unseen. A man has the brain to do beautiful tasks, and to imrove the world. Only you can make your life better, why rely on your "god"? Can you eat without lifting your hands? Will you get a salary without working? Will you actually get some money just by prayers and going to church? Tell me if you did and I will follow you. An atheist once asked a religious man... "sir, what if you die and you found out that there is no God? And you have dedicated your whole life in serving Him and following his principles? Would you be disappointed?"
The holy man replied, "Well then, if i die and there is no God then I cease to exist and that is the end of me." The atheist grinned thinking he had scored against the holy man. But the holy man continued... "Now, let me ask you... what if after living an unrepentant life and not believing in God and the day comes that you die and found out that there is a God afterall?" hehehe Now you're in deep shit of trouble. I worked with an Atheist and we are doing experiment, the Atheist said I HOPE this experiment succeed. I asked the Atheist, why you HOPE, why not tell I am sure it will work because of our skills and knowledges that we applied in this experiment. Who you asked for HOPE? This proved that the Atheist still HOPE for super-unseen invisible, and I told him that super-unseen invisible is the GOD whom we all creatures must seek who is GOD? The whole duty of man is to FEAR GOD and keep his commandment... Ecclesiastes 12:13. Therefore who is GOD, there are many, ALLAH, LORD, ADONAI,RAM, Chrishna, Theos, Zeus, YAHWEH according to DEAD SEA SCROLL found in 1947, Panginoon, etc. It was our duty to fear and keep his commandment, but there are many of them which is the real? ZechariYah 14:9 His name is ONE. The Athiest said , you see his name is ONE is another addition to many names of GOD.
