Superstitions are nothing but folklore and an example of oral tradition. Tho I do not believe in superstition, I respect the fact that it is a cultural trait of our people. Since oral tradition is quite ubiquitous in the Philippines, given how the Spaniards prevented our ancestral forebears from writing in baybayin , hence oral tradition was the only ways of transmitting old ideas, old thoughts, and all things pre-hispanic , pre-christian to the generations.
For me, and in my honest opinion, if we believe in God the Almighty Father and we trust our life to Him, then there is nothing in this world, or beneath it , demon or mystical, can harm us and touch us.
For it is written:There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you [2] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do.
It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.â€
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
