I don't know what to say. Looking at these pictures, I can't help but want to cry.

Oh I want to go back so bad. So much.

Pohon, mo balik jud ko! Till then, these pictures are so beautiful! Maka imagine lang ko that I am back in Bohol soil.

Hahaha I can still remember when this little boy used to be 8 months old. And when my parents were working, I would take him from the crib kai mo hilak man. I would put him on my chest and he would sleep on top of his Kuya's chest.

I could hear his little heart beat and feel his little breathing. There was a time when I could hold his entire body with just one arm. And his head would fit in my right hand. Now, he is already 75 lbs and will soon grow taller than his Ate Angel.

Hahaha. My dear Ondoy Andre, your Kuya Bran Bran really loves you! Big Kisses and Hugs!


I can still remember, Andre, when you used to call me "Kuya 'Bwan-Bwan'" hahaha. Running around with your diapers.

The Jewish people were chosen and were claimed by God himself, his "Chosen People".

Think about it, they have endured persecution, extermination, war, and yet they still are alive today. All over the world, and are successful in all their fields.

For God has promised them, that he would never abandon them. His chosen people.

Ma'am Langgam, kuyawa pood imung message!

Mr. Ferniz, I love our scientific conversations. One of the reasons why I always keep on visiting threads you take part in.

If I can describe our conversations, it is like a bee being trapped in a giant beehive filled with honey. LOL

The bee never wants to leave.

Love is waiting to see someone who you haven't seen in 4 years. And holding her in your arms in 5-6 days from now.

This is very unfortunate, Anastacio. In macro-view, it is understandable why many Filipinos go abroad for nursing and medicine; in order to send back remittances as well as to secure a better way of life for themselves and their children.

But, in domestic view point, it is at the expense of the Philippines. The best and brightest are spirited away. And there is a depressing lack of new recruits in other spheres of demographics. As you stated, in the fields of agriculture, etc.

My response: Sympathetic. Yet it is just the flow of economics. Demand will always fuel economics.

In the United States, as banks become unsteady, and even the climate of mortgages waver, there is only one field that has not changed nor will it be affected by economic highs and lows.

Medicine and Nursing.

It is the only profession here that is actually rising. Patients will always be found; when health is concerned, everything else comes second.

As I finish rotation in Dr. Burmingham's office, I see no reduction in patients. Nursing and Medicine continue to be very lucrative fields in the US and abroad.

There is a reason for such high demand in Philippine-trained Nurses and Physician/Surgeons. The United States predicts that it will need some 2 million Nurses in the next 2 decades. As most of the nursing staff will be in retiring age.

In the clinic where I rotate, we have 3 new nurses that are from the Philippines. One is from Mindanao and two are from Luzon. Their accents are still fresh.

Instead of focusing on the minimal oil reserves in the Bisayan Basin, why don't these companies develop the technology to retrieve the unimaginable oil reserves underneath the Philippine Trench.

Several Miles deep under the oceanic surface.

Ivan,

It seems that you have similar tastes as that of my younger brother Don Rico.

Looking at your sig, you have an interest in sprites? He's big into that kind of thing. When he's not in XBOX Live, perhaps you guys can have sprite chats. lol.

Hello to all.

In every country there would be a rise price.. Its like a Philippines. Rice Gasoline ect. Has going higher price.
Philippines import rice 50% from another country and Philippines is one of the world's biggest rice importers. The Government in Philippines cannot do anything to the world market price.

The solution of rise shortage ''Plant more rice''
More population things will be higher..

There are multiple implementations that can be assessed to reduce the burden.

1) Increase farming output. Most of Mindanao isn't integrated due to rebellions in Muslim Mindanao. Targeting and focusing on domestic harmony would engage farming cooperation.

2) As what Slackware stated, courting western investors for IT investment in the Philippines. Whether we  like it or not, the Philippines has already become the region's top IT leaders. Second only to India.

The Philippines should start moving into service orientation and away from agricultural.

Quote from: benelynne on July 04, 2008, 05:43:39 AM
Circumcision was part of God's covenant with Abraham and the Jews:

Genesis 17

10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner— those who are not your offspring.

Circumcision was an external sign of a spiritual relationship, which set the Jews apart from the rest of mankind as the chosen people of God. However, history showed that the Jewish people became more and more fixated to the external signs, statutes, and ceremonies rather than their inward spirituality. Of course, this tendency is not peculiar to the Jews but resonates to human nature in general. Rather than facing our frailties, we explain away our violative tendencies through legalism.

The dispensation of grace, as contrasted to that of law, ushered in by Christ in the New Testament restores the pre-eminence of our relationship to God in our practice of spirituality. For instance, Christ has redefined the legalistic frames of such common offenses as "adultery" and "murder." We commit adultery not only when we lie in bed with someone not our spouse but also when we look at another person with lust. We commit murder not only when we kill a person by intent but also when we harbor deep hatred in our hearts towards him.

Thus, as with the Jews, we can no longer use physical circumcision as a blanket affirmation of our belongingness to God. Note that even in the Old Testament, physical circumcision was meant to come together with circumcision of our hearts, as was commanded in Deuteronomy 10 and 30. Unless our hearts are marked as of God, it does not matter much if we are externally marked as God's people in circumcision. We cannot use religious appearances in place of real spirituality of the heart.

Paul preached this in his letter to the Romans:

Romans 2
29No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.

Therefore, physical circumcision is not a necessary and essential condition for salvation, but spiritual circumcision is.

Excellent points, Tito Benne.

I actually stumbled on a particular passage in Jeremiah 9:24-25 which literally dictates the worthless nature of circumcission. It supports your points, Tito.

The passage itself, "See, days are coming, says the Lord, when I will demand an account of all those circumcised in their flesh. Egypt and Judah, Edom and the Amonites, Mab and the desert dwellers who shave their temples. For all these nations, like the whole house of Israel, are uncircumcised in heart.


The WORD of the Lord

When I read these particular excerpts from Ezekiel and Isaiah, I am left in complete abhoration as well as in discernment. How is it that 1/3rd of all the Angels in Heaven were fooled into the service of Lucifer to rebel against the Throne of The Almighty?

How is it that they, the Hosts of Heaven, were able to rebel and reject Divine Communion with the Almighty?

What was it that allowed them to side with Lucifer against the Name of God? Did they truly believe that they could usurp the throne of God? How can They, in their minds, think that they could depose the Creator of All Things?

Did they not think that they too could be destroyed by the Being that created them with a mere thought? The Almighty Father in Heaven.

Truly, this being named Lucifer, was wise and daring enough to temp 1/3rd of all the Angels in Heaven.

If he can do that, easily he can influence the world of men. Who are inferior to the Divine Angels.


Contemplating these words from Holy Scripture sends chills down my spine. And look only to God and His Mighty Power, Archangel Michael for protection. The same Angel that thrust Satan and his Legion of usurpers out of Heaven and into the Pit of Sheol (Hell).

Blessed be God the Mighty and Highest!
Whom All Things are Possible.

Blessed be God the Highest, and The Holy Mother Mary.

Mama Mary, Mother of Christ Jesus, Please Pray for Us.


Amen

I Love This Song.

Shake it, baby, Shake it  

Love can endear years of separation. I see this in my Lolo Ciano; who, even to this day, still loves my late Lola Nating.

So? Are you the night wolf or the morning rabbit type of individual?

Exponentiate!

Talk about dejavu. Any of you guys ever dreamt something and have that same dream come to pass?

Share!

Being an older brother; who protects his younger brothers and younger sister. Being a son, who honors the words of his mother and father.

Example is a language everybody understands. What better way than to focus on family.

My family is my life. Everything else comes second. Everything starts with family; in order to exhibit excellence and good example in the community, one must first develop good relations and harmony within his or her own family. Everything starts with family.

Story of Lucifer â€" His Status
What kind of iniquity was found of him? In the book of Ezekiel, God has let us stand with Him at the very beginning, to see the origin and the creation of Satan. But, why does God say this? What is this iniquity? We must look back to Isaiah 14:12, which tells us of Lucifer/Satan's choice. "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly on the heights of Zaphon; I will ascend to the tops of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High." Did you notice in this passage all of the "I wills. " He said he would exalt his throne above the stars of God. The word "stars" here does not refer to what we see in the night sky. It refers to the angels of God. In other words, "I will take over heaven, I will be God." That is Lucifer/Satan's sin and that is the iniquity that was found in him. He does not want to be God's servant. He does not want to do what he was created to do. He wants to be served and there are millions who have chosen to do just that; serve him. They have listened to his lies and chosen to follow him. Eve believed the lie that she would be like God. The reason Lucifer/Satan tempted her with that was because it is the very thing that he wants -- to be God.

more details on http://www.allaboutgod.com/story-of-lucifer.htm

sa Islam wala man ang term na fallen angels kay according to The Noble Quran, angels were created by God without the gift of freewill. They only serve and obey the will of God. dili sila maka bo-ot2x ug ilaha. Mas maayo pa ang tao kay naa pay freewill.

Mao ba, Anastacio? Thanks for the answer, interesting pood ang explanation gi hatag nimo in reference to the Q'uran's stance on the topic.

It is quite puzzling sometimes when one reads Isaiah 14, which states, (In reference to what Lucifer Declared in Heaven) "But you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."

And The Lord responded, as what Isaiah 14:15 reveals to us, "Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit."

For me, reading this particular verse is puzzling. Because one understands that the Angel Lucifer already saw the face of God, and was given the beatific vision. Complete and Ultimate bliss in communion with The Almighty. Yet he was able to turn away from God? He rejected Complete and Eternal Communion with The Most High?

We even witness this in reading Ezekiel 28, "You were the anointed cherub who covers, and I placed you there, you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked in the midst of the stones of fire. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you."

as well as in Rev. 12:4, 9, "Even though created beautiful and good, Satan, the top angel of God fell into sin and took a third of the other angels with him."

And it is in this particular passage that we see the entrance of Sin into the world. The Rebellion of Lucifer against The Most High. Lucifer even went far enough to tempt Adam and Eve, whom The Lord created in His own image.

But my question, or rhetorical question if I may, is that why was Lucifer able to reject God? He was given the beautific vision of The Most High. And was the First to be created. What compelled Lucifer to rebel against His Father in Heaven? And, accordingly, why did not The Most High dispose of Lucifer with a mere thought? Did He know that this will come to pass? Does Lucifer and His Legion of Fallen Angels know that their time is nigh? That their doom has been secured by the coming of the Christ?

I do know that after the war in Heaven, after Archangel Michael, the Prince of the Heavenly Host thrust Lucifer, the Most abominable, Most Unclean, Most Unrighteous, Father of Lies, Hate Incarnate, Most Untrue--that all the remaining Angels were given the beatific vision. And therefore are linked to The Almighty. Theirs is the responsibility of Exalting The Most High for Everlasting Time.

Tito Benne, Ma'am Lee, Brod Mike, can you guys please answer some of my questions.

Cheers,

Amen! Congratulations Fr. Romerde!

I saw a documentary about that in The History Channel, Mr. Ferniz.

I, too, feel like throwing up. They think cow dung is pure and many villages in India use cow dung as soap to clean their dishes after eating.

Mortality rate of infectious diseases in India is high. No wonder why.

In my thoughts and in my prayers. Stay Strong, Ms. Orchids.

hahahaha! Hilarious!

Tito Benne,

Shall we continue on? By your lead, Tito.

To Beth,

Thanks for sharing your opinion.



Let us proceed to studies. The next question:

For what reason was Lucifer thrust out of Heaven? What scriptural passage indicates this. What exactly did Lucifer want that warranted punishment? Please add any personal interpretation and or views if you want.

Tito Benne,


There is a side story that I would like to share with you.

During the Fall of 2007 and during Spring of 2006, I taught Ecological Biology Lab with my Adviser, Dr. Ostrofsky. There was one time when we went up the Allegheny Mountains next to the Boussard National Wild Life Conservatory, which my college owns.

Dr. Ostrofsky ra and me. Then he asked me something that has been printed in my mind. "Isn't it beautiful?" (He was regarding the evergreen trees, the ecological wilde life that we were looking and observing at). I answered him, "Yes, Professor." And he responded with something that bewildered me, "His creations are too good."

This shocked me, Tito, because I always thought Dr. Ostrofsky was an agnostic or an atheist. Because he never made reference to his faith during class, during labs or during our weekly meetings. I found out that he was, indeed, a born again. But for me it was something because this man not only specializes in environmental biology (limnology, ecology, streams aquatics, toxicology and evolution). Yet he believes.

I would say that I stand with Dr. Ostrofsky when it comes to The Most High.

When I worked in Organics Laboratory, when I taught Molecular Biology Laboratory, Ecology, etc you deal with science on a daily basis. And can't help but notice that there is so much beauty within these given fields. How electrons, react to protons, neutrons. Why the transcriptional processes works and how it works--its relation to the translational pathway and the elongational pathway. And the necessary proteins, activators, inhibitors etc. Everything is perfectly created. Perfectly Designed. The Almighty's fingerprints are written in science. And it bears testament to His intelligence.

Quote from: C2H4 on July 13, 2008, 10:43:49 PM
Very well said, Mr Bene. Sakto gyud, religion doesn't save us. Ang mga pari mga tawo ra man pud na sila, kung makasala sila, it's between them and God. It doesn't disillusion me, coz mas daghan man ko kaila nga mga maayo kaayo nga pari. Do you know Fr. Chapman SJ? He was my most beloved priest. I cried for days when he died.

With regards adtong pari nga cgeg counseling adtong ex-wife sa akong uncle, na affected baya gyud ang parish. Kay giluod siguro ang mga tawo maminaw niya magwali sa misa about God's teachings, unya cge siyag counseling on the side. I think the counseling has been going on for close to ten years now. What I don't understand is why wala gi futbol sa Obispo ning paria.

This is true that religion does not save, it is in Faith and in Acting on Faith itself. The structure of religion does encourage the increase and development of faith through the reading and interpretation of scripture with fellow worshipers. This also includes in the act of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Prayers, Litanies, and the act of consecration.

As one who struggled with faith during my adolescent years, particularly all throughout my high school years, I particularly found it hard to accept the rules and structure of the Catholic Church. At the time.

When I left for college, it was when I was alone and distant from my parents and family, physically, that I found and reaffirmed my faith. Kai sa una when ever we would go to church, all liturgical teachings would pass me; that or i would dismiss the words as mere heresay, as mere stories and nothing more.

In college, I immediately realized that I needed something to hold me together. Even logical understandings and scientific methodology could not explain a natural need to 'believe'. I befriended a very good friend of mine to this day, Fr. Mark Hoffman, the catholic chaplain in my college. And I must say that we would have long-ended, glorious, and mind-refreshing conversations. Ranging to questions and talks on scripture, on politics, history and deeply on prayer.

I will always remember the words of Fr. Mark because he always stressed to me the power of PRAYER. He would tell me, "Al, you must open yourself to the Holy Spirit, open yourself to the word of God. To the name of Jesus. Many Americans, are deaf. Not physically deaf, but deaf to the call of God as it is in prayer that He communicates with us and it is in solid and candid prayer that we can truly understand what He has planned for us. Or accept the things that we cannot change and to find strength in what will and what has already happened."

My relationship with Fr. Mark Hoffman has reconnected me. I always thank him for allowing me to be "Born Again" Catholic . On the September of 2006 my sister and I enrolled for Catholic Confirmation with many catholic students as well as municipal members. We studied scripture with Fr. Mark and other ecclesiastical members. We read the entire bible; story per story, and our meetings were 3 times a week. Sometimes it would last from 3 hours to even 5 hours. Depending on the questions we had. LoL

Oh How I loved it! It has allowed me to accept and understand the structure of the Holy Catholic Church, and the teachings, the adoration of the sacraments, and most of all the adoration and consecration of the Holy Gospel.

There is no feeling that can describe the beauty of prayer, of worshiping and singing praises to Our Father. It is true though, that religion does not save, but religion itself can influence and increase Faith itself. Faith comes to the individual. God Claims His Own in due time. Trust me.

For me, mo add lang ko sa aning mga priestly order. I do understand the points of what you guys are saying; and do agree with you that some of these instances of priests molesting young children is completely abhorable. These individuals do not represent the holy order of priests. These are exceptions, and I can only pray for them for the forgiveness of their souls for their actions. It is not right for us to condemn, but to pray for them so that mercy shall be given to them from God. But on a human level, I believe that they should be punished harshly and accordingly to their actions.

Outside of that, the holy orders of priesthood and sisterhood, brotherhood and missionary work are holy orders. God has spoken to them to join in order to spread His Word. And these callings are genuine and true. For that I truly respect priests and those who are seminarian majors and seminarian minors. For they have answered what many do not.





Blessed Be God The Most High,
and Peace to His People on Earth,

The leading nation of female infanticide is India.

Over 40 million cases of 'missing' female babies.

It is disgusting. That is the population of most European countries.

Very good points, Tita.

Despite the differences between Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants; differences in preaching scripture, differences in tradition, differences in methodology. In the long run, my dear Tita, we are all praising and worshiping the same ONE and ETERNAL and LIVING GOD. To whom there is no equal, no impossibilities, no one too 'small' for his mercies and his Love.

Katoliko, Baptist, Methodist, Orthodox, Born Again, etc. Why must we persecute each other when we all believe and accept Christ Jesus. God The Father and God the Holy Spirit.

I take these things with a grain of salt and accept the circumstances as it is presented to us. As what History has presented to us.

Tita, even the apostles Paul and Simon Peter disputed and disagreed. Like us, they were also human. But looking at their teachings in perspective, one cannot help but acquiesce to the fact that they both preached the same theme. The manner of ministery differed, but the Word that was taught was the same.

I have no problems with Protestants. Many of my closest friends are protestants and I used to attend a Protestant Bible Study in college; I had very colorful and genuinely spiritual lessons with them. Same theme, but different perspective--which is, almost if not exactly similar to that of what Catholic Church teaches.

Sige, let us all get back to biblical studies here. Who wants to start next? Tito Benne. By your lead, please.

I've seen this many times. They shall not get past this Football Player.

Mike, there have been activity in the technology section.

Pero everything has been on the DL.

*Big Embrace*

Love You too, 'te. I agree with you. "Let's keep on keeping on"

I love that phrase

How can India call itself a 'Democracy' when it still retains such a barbaric and primordial social system that makes the aristocracy of France seem 'Enlightened'.

How can a nation that prides itself as the 'Largest Democracy In The World' truly be a 'Democracy' when all the rights and privileges of its people are not even secured? When millions of its citizenry still are not given the right to full human rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion etc.

India, truly remains a land of variances.

I had a classmate in my French Revolutionary History class who was an Indian female. Her family came to the United States via the Indian Brain Drain (similar to the Filipino); her father being a physician and her mother being a social worker. Nevertheless, in our conversations in class, she revealed to me that she and her family were Christians. And apparently in India, to be Christian is to be considered an outsider; and were treated unfairly.

There are Hindus cults who even attack Christians and Muslims in India. Through bombings or forced conversions.

A democracy they say. India can never truly be a democracy until it rids itself of such a barbaric social system that is the very antithesis of 'DEMOCRACY'.

You're going to make me cry, Ethylene darling. lol. You know that?

The beauty of this forum is that we have so many intelligent and colorful individuals that compels us all to come back to this very special place. All of Us.

God Bless You, 'te. God Bless Your Faith! Faith can move even the mountains!

Thank you for this story, Ethylene darling.

Ate, My Dear Ate,


I will share you something that I do not even reveal to my parents. Or my aunts and uncles.

When I was in my senior year of college a couple of months ago, I despaired due to the time consuming effects of my senior research thesis, stressing on waiting the responses of medical schools, stresses on class examinations, stresses on maintaining my GPA, stresses on maintaining my relationship with friends, stresses of dealing with family drama, stresses in dealing with teaching classes, stresses in dealing with crippling college loans, stresses with dealing with coming to terms to the reality that medical school loans will burden me, stresses with the fact that I will not see many of my friends for years or ever again after graduation etc etc.

Dear Ate, there were times when i just despaired. Pero you know, looking back at things at hindsight. Everything worked out, perhaps not to my liking, but it worked out for the best. lol. He answered all of my prayers. Every one.

And you know, like you, I would just go to church. Oh how effective and releasing it is. To be able to CRY OUT and release all one's anguish and ailments unto God. All the time, my dear Ate, I would visit our college chapel at night.

Many nights I would go there and just sit in the dark to talk to God. In solitary prayer. After reviewing for exams, mo anha ko. After taking exams kai ma hadlok ko if i scored alright or not, mo anha ko. After getting good news on things, mo anha jud ko.

Dili jud ko maka explain 'te. Walay scientific explanation to it, not all the complex processes that I learn can explain to me why I need to go to church. It is not only necessary for me to vent out through church, but the act of reading scripture, the singing of songs, exalting The Lord, and joining others in communion and in prayer. Reading the Lord's Prayer. Naa'y connection jud that really renews and refreshes the spirit.

Naay saying that I keep to myself that I would like to share with you, Ate.

Our bread and our water renews and strengthens our bodies. But it is the Word of The Lord, His Flesh and His Blood that renews our spirits. I believe this completely.

As I read your personal anecdote, I cannot help but smile as I feel for you. And it is true jud what they say, no? That God finds a way to connect to His Children. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow. But someday. Within His own plan. In His Will.

We, all of us, are naturally drawn to Him. The Eternal and Living God. Who is Love. And Loves Us.

You are in my thoughts, my dear Ethylene. Stay smiling, and stay beautiful; inside and outside.

hi guys, this is my first time in this thread and read lots of interesting insights. I am very aware about the BIBLE. Ever since I stepped in to a Catholic school up to I graduated college, I thought I know everything about it. It was when I came to the US with so much materials to read and see that I came to realize that there are plenty of things to know more about it. And it even became more interesting when I get the chance to go into the Vatican City in Rome Italy. That was the time when my Faith finally gets into the point where I say, I know where I stand now.


but here's my question, did you know who wrote the bible? this question is for you Bran specially since you are the one who started the thread. From then on I'll see what I can add.

Beth, I will try to answer this to the best of my ability, but I also invite persons who know and have studied the Bible more than I; per se Tito Benne and Brod Mike.

For me, Beth,

The Bible itself are works of men who have been inspired by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Or as what Tito Benne put it as, "God-Breathed".

"Who wrote the Bible” is a question that can be definitively answered by examining the biblical texts in light of the external evidences that supports its claims. 2 Timothy 3:16 states that “All scripture is inspired by God….” In 2 Peter 1:20-21, Peter reminds the reader to “know this first of all, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, … but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” The Bible itself tells us that it is God who is the author of His book.

God does not leave us with just claims of His divine handiwork in the Bible, but also supports it with compelling evidence. The design of the Bible itself is a miracle. Written over more than 1,500 years by vastly different writers, yet every book in the Bible is consistent in its message. These 66 books talk about history, prophecy, poetry, and theology. Despite their complexity, differences in writing styles and vast time periods, the books of the Bible agree miraculously well in theme, facts and cross-referencing. No human beings could have planned such an intricate combination of books over a 1,500-year time span. Bible manuscripts (remember, there were no printing presses until 1455) have survived despite weather, persecution and time. Most ancient writings written on weak materials like papyrus have vanished all together. Yet many copies of the Old Testament scriptures survived. For instance, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain all books of the Old Testament, except Esther, and have been dated to before the time of Christ. Consider Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars. Only ten copies written about 1,000 years after the event are in existence. In comparison, there are over 24,000+ New Testament manuscripts, the earliest one dating to within 24 years after Christ.

The Bible also validates its divine authorship through fulfilled prophecies. An astonishing 668 prophecies have been fulfilled and none have ever been proven false (three are unconfirmed). An honest study of biblical prophecy will compellingly show the divine authorship of the Bible. Further, archeology confirms (or in some cases supports) accounts in the biblical record. No other holy book comes close to the Bible in the amount of evidence supporting its divine authorship.


During services for Adoration of the Holy Sacrament, whenever the priest reads the stories within the gospel (for that particular day), I will cry. And for me, I've started attending Adorations for the Blessed Sacrament as of late, and have come to know elderly women who attend it on a regular basis.

Talking to them, and hearing their interpretations and their life experiences that revolves around the particular scriptural lesson within the gospel reading empowers me.

For me, I find strength in their faith. My faith increases in seeing their own faith. Ako, ma moved man jud ko to see elderly women in their golden ages of 80+ who have unwavering faith. And call on the Name of Jesus. Seeing them cry when the Priest presents the chalice that holds the Blessed Host--even evokes me to cry.

You can feel a presence of Holiness. Naa'y sense of peace. One that can even move a stubborn man such as myself to tears. Christ Have Mercy. Christ IS Mercy.







Cheers,

From author and preacher John McArthur on the belief that every word in the Bible is inspired by God and is used by God to speak to humans.

a)1 Corinthians 2:13--Paul said, "We speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth." Paul claimed it was the words, not just the thoughts that are inspired.

b) John 17:8--Jesus said to the Father, "I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me." In the Old Testament phrases such as "thus saith the Lord," "the word of the Lord came," and "God said" are repeated over 3800 times. Clearly God communicates by words.

c) Galatians 1:11-12--Paul said, "I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." Paul got the gospel from God, not men.

d) Exodus 4:12--God said to Moses, "I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say." Forty years later Moses said to Israel, "Ye shall not add unto the word which I commanded you, neither shall ye diminish anything from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you" (Deut. 4:2). Words spoken by God are not to be taken away from or added to.

e) 1 Peter 1:10-11--Peter wrote that "the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you, searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them did signify." This verse is a power argument against thought inspiration. The Holy Spirit gave the prophets a message about the Messiah, which they recorded. Then they sought to understand the meaning of their own proclamations. So there were times when the prophets received and recorded words that they did not fully understand. So it was words not thoughts that they pondered on, which again is evidence that inspiration is verbal.

f) Matthew 24:35--Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." It is the words in the Bible that God has given. Pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions are important.

g) 1 Corinthians 14:37--Paul said, "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord." A spiritual man will recognize that Paul's writings are the very words of God.

To God Be All Glory and Praise.

That he gave man a mouth to speak the truth, a heart to console and be consoled, the mind to see the truth and the spirit to hear the Word of God.

Quote“Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

-Isaiah 55:6-11


Personal Interpretation:

This scriptural passage always reduces me to tears upon reading it. Always.

It is eloquently beautiful as it sings praises to the Grace of the Lord. Who is Love. And who can separate us from Love? This passage is so strong; ingoon ang Ginoo--

'Let the Wicked foresake his ways, and the Unrighteous abandon his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.'

Isaiah's words gives strength for those in the present, who, too, live in times of political, economic, and social unrestraint, and peril.

Amen to you Tita.

We all have different views, like the sands of the earth, we all are shaped, look, and think different. Just as the sands and pebbles of the earth are not identical to one another.

And again, it is always a pleasure to read your thoughts, we all learn from different views.

God Bless You, my fellow Valencianon.


Truly,
Bran Lorenzo

this keeps on resounding in my head.

"ang pagdumili nga dili na molingi sa maong bintana"

So very deep. In figurative language, and also in the Bisayan vernacular.

Mike. Bro. Please can you translate this entire poem for me in English?

I am so sorry that my proficiency in Bisaya is sub-par. I would really appreciate it, Brod Mike.

Welcome man kaajo commercial break, mas bibo man hinuon when real issues are raised vis-a-vis Biblical teaching. Am sure Dong Enzo is broad-minded regarding these matters.

Tito Benne, Am very open minded about this. And I think its good to see other people's points of views. But for me, though there are some instances of scriptural discrepancies, if one reads the whole text of the Holy Bible, most of the discrepancies are explained and cleared. It is when individuals twist the meaning of scripture to fulfill an agenda or if they simply wish to focus on one particular passage and ignore the whole; that becomes a problem.

Every text in the Holy Bible, from Old Testament to the New Testament is not 'illogical' nor is it 'unimportant'. It is THE WORD OF GOD.

And we are here to study and gain a better, wider, fuller understanding of his voice.

Not to drown His voice with personal ramifications and side convictions.

Hope you all understand.

Quote from: asianfairy on July 12, 2008, 07:49:20 PM
Korek da Bins. To reiterate : what has tuli got to do with GOD?
hasta  man gani pari dire way tuli. ha.ha..ha..ha..

The reason why I asked the question was to see if we can find any biblical reference to the practice of circumcision, which has been a practice to not only of the People of the Book (the Jewish people) as well as Early Christians and even to Orthodox and Catholics to this present era.

The question was to see if we could find any specific reference that supports it or disinclines the use of circumcision. And as we found out, there were passages in scripture that supports the traditional use of circumcission--initially it was mandated by the Most High to the Hebrews as a sign of the covenant between Abraham and The Most High.

The specific scriptural passage that indicates this is found in Genesis 17:9-10 which states,

And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

and again in Romans 4:11

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also.

and again in Genesis 17:12-13

And THE LORD said unto him, And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.


Though there are scriptural references of circumcission in the Old Testament, from which we have observed in these specific passages, there were other references in the New Testament that indicates that salvation does not require circumcission. The act of circumcission was intended for the Jews, the Chosen People {People of the Book}. For modern Christians to be circumcissed or not is within their own choosing; it is an act of faith and or personal conviction.

Because we know that salvation does not require circumcission, but faith and acceptance in Christ Jesus. Who is the Word Incarnate.

We have specific reference for this.


Circumcision applied to the slaves of Jews. Apart from that, circumcision never applied to people outside the Jewish faith. The first covenant was not with other nations. All other people were described as uncircumcised, even those who practised circumcision (Jeremiah 9:25-26). Circumcision never applied to Christians (Acts 15:5-11). The Apostle Peter, who was circumcised, said:

... we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.
-Acts 15:11

No. Christians were freed from the Law, including circumcision (Acts 15:1-20). It was described as an almost unbearable yoke on the neck (Acts 15: 10). The yoke, of course, was a sign of slavery and Christians were told not to become entangled with 'a yoke of bondage' (Galatians 5:1-2).

The Law as we read it contains things that appall us, such as forcing a rapist to marry his victim (Deuteronomy 22:28-29) or rejecting people born out of wedlock and their descendants (Deuteronomy 23:2). However, almost all of us read the Law in translation, which inevitably changes and distorts the text. Even fewer read it with a background of the checks, balances and insights of the Jewish oral and legal tradition. This has contributed to atrocities such as when Christians used Exodus 22:18 to justify the slaughter of 'witches' or other verses to justify slavery and the slave trade (e.g., Exodus 21:2-11, 20-21, Leviticus 25:44-46 and Deuteronomy 20:10-15).

Christ Jesus even mentioned circumcission in his teachings, we see this in John 7:14

Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Dong Bran,

No offense meant pero di na baya ko motoo tanan anang nakasulat sa Old testament.
Motoo ko naay Ginoo ug nagbinut-a sab ko sa akong pagpuyo pero kanang tanan nasulat diha di gyod nako matake kay di na logical.

Cheers!

I respect your opinion, Tita, however the question in hand was poking on the topic of scriptural support or the antithesis of the act of circumcission.

Whether the French or not are circumcised or not has nothing to do with the subject matter. As the French were not in question; Europeans, Africans, etc.

You get my point.

The two most famous individuals who I've made personal acquaintances were both physicians.

A) Dr. Villanueva, M.D (Cardiothoracic Surgeon and Director of Surgical Residents)
B) Dr. Updike, M.D (Gastroenterologist; General Internist; Instructor)

I knew both of them through shadowing them these past few years. I am attracted to their voice, their firm understanding in their most respectable fields, and most importantly their unwavering passion in their medical fields.
Dr. Updike stunned me when we had lunch together, he stunned me with his knowledge of the Philippines during World War II. Not only was he a physician, but also a fellow historian.

Dr. Villanueva, to me, was a man on a pedestal. Named one of the best surgeons in the entire state; and specifically in southern New Jersey. The man has trained hundreds of surgical residents; and has performed thousands of procedures in his lifetime. I remember looking at his hand when he explained procedures to me, he never waivered. The man was firm in his gestures, and when he explained something--it was with a soothing and low toned voice. Truly he was a Cardiothoracic Surgeon.

How famous can one get? Those who make a profession on Saving Human Lives and or prolong Life itself, to me, take the cake. The ability to save life and prolong life, the very gift Divine Providence gave to man, is not only a blessing, but true responsibility.

When I am teaching a class, and or participating in a class, I am full of bravado and quick to answer.

I've clashed with many heads during debates, in class and out of class.

I've corrected professors multiple times; so much that whenever I raise a hand to answer a question, some professors (I refuse to name them) will look on. lol.

Learning new things, to me, is a passionate conviction. What titillates is when I find something incorrect yet the teacher continues to teach the wrong.

I guess it is part of the scientific method. To uncover the truth, and repudiate the falsified assumption. Unfortunately the road to doing that sometimes can be thorny and filled with pebbles. The trick is, as what one professor told me, is learning to walk over the pebbles.

Ma'am Langgam.

I must say, I really like your welcome poster.

You should have heard what Jeff was saying. Crazy guy. Crazy guy jud. And I do hope he wont bring it with him. It might eat our scale models, LOL.

I must let this out in here.

For the past 3 weeks now I've hidden this secret.

There is a woman, a secretary to be exact, that works in the office where I do my summer internship. But dangggggg, I must admit that this boo is hot hot hot hot hot! hahaha.

When I talk to her I have to struggle to retain my formalities to prevent me uttering phrases that would be unbecoming of me. LOL.

But yea, had to vent it out in here.

Even my friend Michelle thinks that I act 'strange' when we're talking to this secretary during breaks.
How do women read our body language? And what does this term 'acting strange' mean? I would really like to know jud so I can remedy it as to prevent my over-acquiescing to natural inhibition.

Look at the architectural beauty of Manila. So beautifully built wasn't she? Old Manila reverberated the beauty of Old Spanish Architecture; and it is said that Manila's buildings and grid-patterns were molded after that of Madrid in Espana.

It is a pitiful shame that most of Old Manila and all of Intramuros were destroyed by the Great Pacific War. The Japanese were atrocious for their ill-respect of Filipino buildings and territory. They bombed and reduced most of Manila to ashes.

It is a total shame. Centuries-old buildings, bridges, and historical edifices were lost in that great war.

To the detriment of the Filipino and His Historical viewpoint.

Ate Belle, do you have any special technique to memorize the bones? Give me some hints and hit-ups, 'te. How long did it require for complete memorization? Just hardcore study lang diay to?

Oh my, you'll display that in your room?  Dong, that's plastic, right?  Spooky man oi to wake up in the middle of the night with that model! Whew!

Yes, 'te. Ibutang na nako sa ahong room. Na hadlok diay ka sa model, 'te?

It is a very handsome sight, in my opinion.

Yes 'te the skeletal model is made out of plastic, but texture of it makes it feel like real bone; and the weight is that of real human weight. Exactly molded to parallel the real one.

Only medical schools have real skeletal models, mahal kaayo and plus very fragile ang human bone kai fibrous man gud. Ma guba easily if handled improperly.

haha, don't you just find the human skull so beautiful,'te?
I really love the way humans are shaped and formed. Kai perfectly molded jud.

Anatomical Perfection.

Excellent Performance. Perfecto!

Dong, this is what my reaction when I saw those expensive skeletal models - 

But that's really important to your studies so you jot to have that.  Can you then display that pohon in your clinic or that's gonna be a different model? 

hahaha, 'te. Mahal bitaw. Pero I'm okey with it kai i will be studying it with my 3 room-mates this Fall. And  at the same time mo share man pood mi sa ilang visceral models. I'm just so friggin happy that I met both Shirin and Jeff. Because we three both feel nervous and excited in starting medicine.

Ako pa jud, i didn't want anyone that i was nervous. Pero when they told me they were nervous pood--ning open up jud ko. I thank God that i'm rooming with them for the next 2 years tho.

Its very economical (we will be sharing a same house/apt) and also very academic. Kai we're a study group.

This song reminds me of my early high school years. LOL!

Heard this today in the radio; immediately, the memories of HS came back to my mind.

hahaha long way pa na, 'te. pero maluuy ang Ginoo, someday, pohon.

I-display lang ni nako sa ahong room

I just talked to a friend of mine who just finished 1st year medicine; ingoon kono siya that by the end of 1st semester, we will not only be expected to know every single muscle in the body, but its role, its attachment in the skeletal system.

And we must know every single bone; its purpose, its origin, and any attachments etc.

Hey iamsmurf!

So where is the smurfette?

lol! Welcome! And don't worry there are no 'Azriels' in here. lol.

Depends on the model, 'te.

You can get a regular human skeletal model in different sizes.

For something that is 33 inches, it will probably be around 100-200
For something that is a 4 foot model, it is around 300-400
For the 5 foot model it is around 500+

The one I got, 'te, was the colored 5'foot model with attached ligaments to it (plastic); it also includes an anatomical atlas that shows which tendons, muscles, ligaments attach to which etc. It also includes a stainless steel stand. Good investment jud.


My model will look just like this one:



It will look just like this:

hahaha. Miss Venezuela takes the cake.



She would easily beat Vietnam; Latin women never surrender.

Haha. How will I be able to concentrate now when my mind is thinking about Beautiful Boholanas?

lol

Sus, dili jud ma lupig ang Boholana. Wa'y maka compete.

I will have to watch this movie.

I never knew that, 'te. Very interesting indeed; new information jud ni for me.

The women of Garcia Hernandez are as gorgeous as the women of Valencia and Jagna.

Wow!

Glory to the Boholana!

Whose beauty cannot be surpassed.

Haha. I am guilty for sneaking them in the men's bathroom. lol.

Naughty bitaw.

Mao lagi 'te. Pero I'm so excited because my order for the 5'foot 2 inch human skeletal model will be arriving within 1-2 weeks time.

My housemate, Shirin, suggested we name him "Duey" hahaha.

The skeletal model alone broke my back, so to say, pero it is good investment b/c it will aid in the memorization of all skeletal parts, as well as knowing which muscle, ligament, tendon attaches to which origin.

Another study member of ours, Jeff, has already purchased 4 visceral models: Torso lumbar, cranial, reproductive, and the endocrinal.

Oh you should see my new books, 'te. I feel like im a kid again that is with his favorite toy, lol.


Today tho was a regular day. Work, summer internship, and then work some more.

Excellent answer, Tito Benne. I agree jud with you, Tito.


Let us proceed to the next question, which, in my opinion, will be one of great interest and research for us.

What are the Biblical titles and names given to Jesus?

I spent close to $2500 on book supplies, anatomy kits, a 5 foot 2 inch human skeletal model, visceral models, a very nice white coat for anatomy, a new stethoscope, gloves upon gloves, clipboards, papers, BRs reviews, USMLE1,2,3 review books.

Now I need to look for a new laptop.

This was taken in the men's bathroom. LOL.

Edwina and Tam decided to spice it up. hahahahahaha!



Hahaha, Edwina. Too bad she lacks the package, eh? hahahaha!

haha, yes it is the scruffy Enzo

Michelle empowers me whenever we shadow physicians because she has an addictive laugh.
I try to be serious when I am doing work, pero, I can't help but smile when around her infectious personality. lol.

This problem is one we call primary stage genetic degeneracy. A very simple problem that could have been fixed before the complete development of the said organism.


When we studied genetics, I worked with group of students who did genetic experiments on tadpoles, as well as drosophila (fruit flies) that inhibited and altered certain genetic segments of their specific chromosomes.

We were able to either:

1) increase size of tadpole tales
2) increase size of wing size
3) transplant the APR (apical ectodermal ridge) for the drosophila and had their legs develop where their arms were supposed to be; and vice versa.

So there is already genetic proof of inhibition, activators and co-activators, co-repressors that can prevent and solve transcription problems.

The trick to this, is that it is quite delicate when dealing with humans with the fact that it is unethical to experiment on humans. Even if the goal was to save and help a child's development.

Moral violation and ethics violation.

This is called Partial Duplication; trisomy, in Genetics.

We touched into this during Genetics and Development; its nothing more than an abnormality within the human chromosome, specifically:

There is a 15q25.1-qter trisomy associated with a subtle 13qter monosomy resulting from unbalanced segregation of a familial t(13;15)(q34;q25.1) translocation.


There was some damage within the 09q to the 20q arm of the chromosome; which is responsible for proper formation of the physiology of the organism (within the continuum of Animalia; ergo human, duck, elephant, bird, etc).

To simplify it, there was a pragmatic alteration within the translationionary processes, and with translation affected, elongation of the chromosome and transcription of the specific genes within a chromosome are thus either hindered, inhibited, and or altered.

This 'opaque' genetic degeneracy seems minimal in the molecular level; but such transformations is multiplied 10 million fold within the organismal level.

There is no treatment for this; it bears testament to the random character of genetics. Hypothetically, one can intervene to prevent this from happening by genetically intervening in the development of the fetus prior to the reach of the 1st trimester; when fetus is still within the 2-4 week stage. During the zygote and blastocyt stages of development, one can either induce activators or inhibit repressors and/or co-activators to prevent the proliferation of damaged transcripts that are responsible for the manifestation of partial duplication within the organismal level.

The scientific community has already done this on rats; monkeys; etc. But have not yet tried this on the human level.

Hypothetically speaking, there is an answer to this simple yet personal genetic abnormality.
