The Beauty of Tradition

[Lorenzo]

The beauty and serene peace of Catholic Tradition. For over two thousand years--the church remains true to its teachings of Christ and united within the papal guidance. In full communion with Christ Jesus in the Holy Mother the Church.

"And Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." - Matt. 16:16-18

Peter's Confession: "You are the Christ, the Son of God."

Dong Bran, they don't hold mass there...in fact, it's already fenced. I slipped my hand through the iron bars so I could take the photo. I guess they made it as a prayer room for the priests.

Dong Bran, my grandaunt went to Medugorje, Yugoslavia for a Pilgrimage of the blessed Virgin Mary. She said, it was awesome and she felt a spiritual high being there in the blessed place.

[slackware]

samay maayo if adto ta mag pilgrimage sa jordan/israel? didto man jud nag lakaw si Jesus Christ for 33yrs. murag solemn kaayo if mag rampa sad ta didto.

[Lorenzo]

Ah both places, jud, pero it is in Rome/Vatican where His Holiness, Pope Peter the Great, built the Holy Catholic Church, pre.

Miracle jud na oi..kai imagine ka...si Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans...the pagan romans. And si Peter, after namatay si Lord Jesus Christ, ning adto siya sa Rome. He went to the very city, the capital of the greatest empire in the west--and a pagan empire at that. Na crucified daghang ang christiano didto..by the thousands by the Emperors...but in 100-150 years, Christianity blossomed in that city. In 2 centuries, the very faith that was attacked by the romans took over the city..when Emperor Constantine himself said he saw a cross in the battle field...and had a premonition that God was with him. He won the battle where he saw the cross--and immediately after that, he declared Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire.

Like a blossoming flower...you know. The Roman Empire was conquored by christianity not by the sword...but by the miraculous power of faith...and in GOD. That is why we visit Rome and Vatican, bcuz it is the place where Saint Peter died...

Luuy jud ang story ni peter...you know. When he was caught by Nero's forces...he was preaching the gospel in the catacombs of Rome...and when the romans sentenced him to death by crucifix, ning ingoon si Peter to the Romans:

"Please, crucify me upside down, for I am not worthy to die as the same manner as my Lord, Christ Jesus."
...Blessed jud na si St. Peter. Ning ingoon gud si Jesus nija, "You are Peter, and upon this rock i will build my church." And it was so! Blessed is the Lord oi. Ning build jud ang Catholic church--and it spread to all corners of the world. Europe, Africa, North America, South America, Asia (esp. sa pilipinas, the only catholic/christian nation in asia). What the Lord said to Peter...came true. And blessed jud na who maintains his/her faith oi.

Amen

unsay man diay ang new reports sa news sa story, 'te?

ang ako nabasahan lately, basi sa investigation sa porutgist police, nakakita sila ug mga buhok sa bata sa boot sa sakyanan, ug ilang gidudahan nga, namatay ang bata sa sleeping pills daw, kay hypeactive manto nga bata kuno. Basin daw gipainom ug sleeping pills nya na sobrahan guro. Doctors baya ang parents, naa daw nakit-an nga evidensiya sa sakyanan.

NB: Sorry out of topic ko

[slackware]

its soo sad to to ponder that the birthplace of Jesus Christ are not mainly christian of these days...kato noong nagpalansang ni cristo maoy nahimong mga christians

[Lorenzo]

oo..kay he died for their sins, for the sins of the world. Loving and forgiving gyud na ang ginoo---that he died for us. Kanang jews..they are still waiting for their messiah. Pero..the jews are HIS chosen people jud. Ang christiano ug muslim, we are only one of the gentiles---the WORD came to us (the Holy Bible for us and the Holy Q'uran for the Muslims). Pero..the jews are his CHOSEN people...

[slackware]

pero how true na powerful jud daw kaayo na mga jews sa US? pwede nimo daug daugon ang ubang mga race sa US pero ayaw lang jud ng mga jews...

[Lorenzo]

Tinuud jud na, pre. They are very influential people---they have a strong influence in media and the economy and politics too. The Jewish people are always...very influential..even in Europe before the massacre Hitler initiated. And it is true jud, kai imagine..over 12 million of them were killed by the Nazis, ning balik sila sa ilang homeland sa Israel--the land of David, Abraham, Isaac, Noah, and Jesus. Ning fight sila against so many countries in the arab-israeli wars...and they always WIN. Tinuud jud na..mo believe jud ko..that they are HIS chosen people. He led them from Egypt...from bondage and misery---he swallowed Pharaoh's chariots because they would not let them go. And he provided them a home agian in Israel--after 2000 y ears of being absent from that land. Mo believe jud ko ana...

Also, why do you think the US is always pro-Israel. Because Jewish people have big influence in American policy.

[slackware]

pati sa film industry...ang "The Passion of Christ" wala kaayo nakahakot ug mga awards kay naay pagka anti jews

Executives at CNN are Jews.
Most media giants in the U.S. are owned by the Jews.

The database of all information about U.S. is hosted in Israel.

God has promised the Jews that they will be blessed wherever, whenever they are.

The secret to U.S. wealth is its relationship with Israel, according to Biblical point of view. God said to Abraham: "I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you."

During the 6-day war in 1967, at all means it was impossible that Israel would win in that war as most Arab nations were fighting against Israel. But in the end, Israel was even able to expand its territories, occupying the Golan Heights in Syria and a portion of Gaza known as Gaza strip.

God has a special heart for Israel.

Very influential bitaw kaayo ang mga Jews dire sa states...

Daghan jud nila ang mga datu kaayo, in all aspects of politics, entertainment, business, healthcare...

Kasagaran sa mga negosyo dire, owned by Jews...even the company I work for, Jews mga tag-iya...and I've asked a lot of my friends (and my aunts) nga mga nurses, kasagaran pud tag-iya sa ilang ospitals, mga Jews...

But I've no problem with them. Ingon sila mga isog daw ning mga Hudeo, pero my friend's husband is Jewish, and he's very nice. That's all I care about.

right Mike, Most jews i have known are very immaculate...

The Jews are very blessed people...sometimes I wonder if the Lord loves us as much as the Jewish people. They are very lucky..to be his CHOSEN race, he delivered them from bondage in Egypt, gave them kings, prophets. The Lord is Kind to them---after 2000 years after being scattered from Judea by the Romans, the LORD provided them with a home in Israel.

The fact that the Jews survived and rebounded after over 12 million of them were killed by Hitler----is a sign of that relationship.

No other people experienced so much hardship---yet given blessings upon blessings by the Almighty.
No one.

[ms da binsi]

Yeah correct gyud ka Dong, but do they believed so much saints??? they only preach ONE God.. see the difference? nganong palangga sila sa Ginoo???

and these bloody jews people dont even recognize jesus as their savior!

[pioneer]

Thousands of the Jews are already Christians, faithful believers in Jesus Christ.

In the U.S., there is a big Christian group called "Jesus for the Jews."

[Lorenzo]

and these bloody jews people dont even recognize jesus as their savior!

I do agree with brod Mohandis that there are some Jews who dont recognize Jesus Christ as their savior. Some do, as Mike said, believe in Christ as the Savior and the Messiah that the Talmudic texts predicted.
It just shows you that all is according to scripture---because they will believe when Judgement Day comes--as is predicted in the second coming of the Lord. As predicted in the Bible and in the Quran; the second coming of Christ Jesus (Issa for the Muslims).

They're not bloody, pre. They are the way they are because of their traditions. It was foretold in scripture that they will not believe---the prophets were there for them. So long as they follow the core beliefs of the Talmud and the Tora, that they uphold the Sabbath, that they believe in God. They are saved. God is MERCY, LOVE, TRUTH and FORGIVENESS.

Christ came not for the Jews, but he came for the Gentiles. He did not come for the righteous, but for the sinners, the low, the maltreated, the sickly, the prostitutes, the deceivers. As he said, "the mighty shall be cast down in their arrogance and the lowly shall be lifted to the LORD." Just as what the Father did to the tower of Babel, just as he smitten the cities of Sodom and Gamora, just as he swallowed Pharaoh's charriots.

The second coming will be the answer.

and these bloody jews people dont even recognize jesus as their savior!

It was already foretold that the many will not believe, Christ did not come for the powerful, the strong, the wealthy. He came to save and offer the truth to the destitute, the gentiles. He came for the poor, the starving, the wicked.

The Jews are not a bloody people, they are a people who have struggled throughout their life. You are a muslim, you should know that. Christianity and Islam are both Abrahamic religions that came from Judaism. Do you even know that Abraham, though he was a Jew, was an Arab? He came from the land of Ur, which is close to present day Mesopotamia (present day Iraq region).

Additionally, in your own Holy Q'uran, the Gracious and Loving Allah even commanded to Mohammad (PBUH) to not transgress either the Jew or the Christian. For these two peoples are already guaranteed salvation and PEACE with the Lord the Most High. Here is a specific verse:

"Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the
Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in
GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a
righteous life, will receive their recompense from their
Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
-Quran 2:62

additionally, the Q'uran even states that the Jews are the Chosen people;

"O Children of Israel, remember My favor, which I bestowed
upon you, and fulfill your part of the covenant, that I
fulfill My part of the covenant, and reverence Me."
-Quran 2:40

additionally,

"O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed
upon you, and that I blessed you more than any other
people."
-Quran 2:47

So, my friend, for the Muslims to hate the Jews is a sin, it is directly Haram because they are known in Islam (as with the christians) as "Al-kit?b" (People of the Book). Do not hate, as Allah (The Lord God) does not hate HIS own chosen people and the Christian gentiles.

True Islam is a peaceful religion, which reiterates all the teachings of the Talmud and the Bible. Islam was the 'Truth' that spread throughout the pagan region of Arabia, and it is part of the Greater body of Abrahamic religions. The Jewish word for God, "Ellohim, YWEH, El-Shaddai", the Christian word "God, Lord, Almighty Father, Dios, Dieus," and the Arabic word "Allah" are merely different words for the same God.

Our religions recognize genesis, the revelation, the coming of a messiah, judgement day, though there are differences, we are more similar than we are different.

Do not hate, there is no need for that.
