Hunahuna-ug maayo gaw ug mo balik ka niya
Imong kaugalingon ba matagbaw
Basin ig kahuman ikaw napod manghupaw

Kinahanglan na ug daghang pagdungaw dungaw
Ug angayan ba gayod siya hatagan ug igong payaw

Baliki ayaw,hunahuna-a ug maayo  ayawg siaw
Kay ang dughan raba nimo sauna ga ngaw ngaw
Moangay ka nga mobalik napod kag tikaw tikaw
Mobalik napod kag adtos lagkaw ug manguraw
Kay ikaw di na ganahan nga naay mo dungaw

Baliki Ayaw,ug nakita nimo nga siya way hinungdang taw
Ngano man diay ug ikaw ra usa mag tikaw tikaw
Basta ang dughan mo adunay lay kalinaw
Unsaon man nimo duha mo nga nagsayaw
Apan imong dughan adunay daghang tiaw
Wala gihapon hinungdan ang iyang pagtukaw

Baliki Ayaw,tan-aw tan-aw sa sa kilid una gaw
Basin aduna pay maayong ikapuli nga di siaw
Nga kanimo kanunay magalantaw
Nga kanimo maga amuma ug maayo gaw

Baliki Ayaw,Ang desisyon nga dali dali
Dali pod kini mahanaw ug makuraw
Gamayng kasikas kini siya mabugaw ug mabugnaw.

Ondoy, Balik na Intawon
(Request ni Inday Samdan)

Ondoy, balik na intawon diri sa kang Inday nga dughan,
Sa dugay nga panahon kini siya kanunay samdan,
Intawon malouy ka ug si Inday lingion ug dili pasagdan,
Ang dughan nijang naghilak, gimingaw, imong makit-an.

Sa dihang nahimamat ka ni Inday sa dalan nga gilaktan,
Pagbati kanimo nabalhin nga sa uban gihatag nang daan,
Ambot unsay nahisulod sa utok ug kadto nahuna-hunaan,
Nilalang nga nauna sa dughan karon andam biyaan.

Gibiyaan Dodong nga sa kaanyag ni Inday gitagan-an,
Sa kalit lamang si Inday gibiyaan ug imong giltalikdan,
Ang gugmang tim-os ug tinuoray kanimo gipangandaman,
Ondoy, mipahilayo ka man sa dihang si Inday diha na sa atubangan.

Siguro nakaingon ka sa pagbati mo ikaw gibinoangan,
Nahisantop sa utok mo nga si Inday dili na kanimo pa angayan,
Kay duha ka nilalang sa makausa ija mang gidungan,
Apan wala mo lamang mahisabtan siguro, Ondoy, ang tanan.

Gimingaw na si Inday kanimo sa panahon nga tanan,
Sa mabugnaw nga gabii si Inday ikaw gihilakan kanunay,
Kay ang dughan nija niadto malipayon apan karon dug-an,
Mibiya ka ug ang ijang pagkatawo imo mang giyam-iran.

Ondoy, sa damgo ni Inday ug sa gugma nga tanan,
Ikaw ra intawon ang gitagan-an ug pagahalaran,
Balik na Ondoy aron si Inday mahimo nang bulahan,
Gugma mong walay tupong ija nang mahiaguman.

Balik na sa way duha-duha aron ang langit hikit-an,
Mga bulak nga pijuros sa pagbalik mo pagabukharan,
Ang banig sa pagbati nga dugay nang gihiklinan,
Sa mga abog sa kasikit ang unlan pagajabjaban naman.

Yesterdays Readings (October 11, 2009)

1st READING

Solomon prayed for the gift of wisdom and was given it in abundance — such abundance that it became the talking point of the known world and people came from near and far to consult him. I find it very difficult to see how God could possibly reject a sincere request for wisdom as it is virtually impossible to use this gift in a way that would be  detrimental to the Kingdom of God. Let us all seek to grow in the wisdom of God each day through prayer and reflection upon His Word and the teachings of the Church.

Wisdom 7:7-11
7 I prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded and the spirit of Wisdom came to me. 8 I preferred her to scepter and throne, and deemed riches nothing in comparison with her, 9 nor did I liken any priceless gem to her; because all gold, in view of her, is a little sand, and before her, silver is to be accounted mire. 10 Beyond health and comeliness I loved her, and I chose to have her rather than the light, because the splendor of her never yields to sleep. 11 Yet all good things together came to me in her company, and countless riches at her hands.

P S A L M

Psalm 90:12-13. 14-15. 16-17 (14)
R: Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy!
12 Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart. 13 Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants! (R) 14 Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days. 15 Make us glad, for the days when you afflicted us, for the years when we saw evil. (R) 16 Let your work be seen by your servants and your glory by their children; 17 and may the gracious care of the Lord our God be ours; prosper the work of our hands for us! Prosper the work of our hands! (R)

2nd READING

Never underestimate the power of the Word of God. The author of this letter has no doubt as to the power of the Word of God to lead and guide us in the ways of truth and love. Are you willing to submit your life to the Word of God? Take a moment to reflect on the consequences of your answer to this question as we should be aware of what it means before embarking on such a course of action. Jesus’ obedience led Him to embrace suffering and death for us; we can be sure we will not be spared the same in our lives if we choose to become a disciple of Jesus.

Hebrews 4:12-13
12 Brothers and sisters: Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart. 13 No creature is concealed from him, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

G O S P E L

Everyone who desires to be wealthy in this life ought to very carefully read today’s Scripture and those that relate to it. The responsibility that comes with wealth is enormous particularly when we realize that the priority of our lives is eternal life, and not the gathering of riches here on earth. This is not to say that wealth is evil, but to remind us that it can be a distraction to our true focus, as well as a source of temptation to sin.

Mark 10:17-30
17 As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.’ ” 20 He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” 21 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to [the] poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” 22 At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. 23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to pass through [the] eye of [a] needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.” 28 Peter began to say to him, “We have given up everything and followed you.” 29 Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel 30 who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come.”

Readings on October 10, 2009

1st READING

Joel tells us that there is a time of judgment for everyone; for nations and individuals alike. This ought to be a consolation to us as we do not have to spend time and effort worrying about this matter of judgment. Let us just leave it in the hands of God who is a God of both mercy and justice. I am sure that He knows the best way to deal with the various issues and situations that are present in the world today.

Joel 4:12-21
12 Thus says the LORD: Let the nations bestir themselves and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit in judgment upon all the neighboring nations. 13 Apply the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come and tread, for the wine press is full; the vats overflow, for great is their malice. 14 Crowd upon crowd in the valley of decision; for near is the day of the LORD in the valley of decision. 15 Sun and moon are darkened, and the stars withhold their brightness. 16 The LORD roars from Zion, and from Jerusalem raises his voice; the heavens and the earth quake, but the LORD is a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the men of Israel. 17 Then shall you know that I, the LORD, am your God, dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain; Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall pass through her no more. 18 And then, on that day, the mountains shall drip new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk; and the channels of Judah shall flow with water: a fountain shall issue from the house of the LORD, to water the Valley of Shittim. 19 Egypt shall be a waste, and Edom a desert waste, because of violence done to the people of Judah, because they shed innocent blood in their land. 20 But Judah shall abide forever, and Jerusalem for all generations. 21 I will avenge their blood, and not leave it unpunished. The LORD dwells in Zion.

P S A L M

Psalm 97:1-2. 5-6. 11-12
R: Rejoice in the Lord, you just!
1 The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice; let the many isles be glad. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him, justice and judgment are the foundation of his throne. (R) 5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The heavens proclaim his justice, and all peoples see his glory. (R) 11 Light dawns for the just; and gladness, for the upright of heart. 12 Be glad in the LORD, you just, and give thanks to his holy name. (R)

G O S P E L

Jewishness was measured by one’s bloodlines. “Christian-ness” will be measured by one’s obedience to the Word of God. Christianity has nothing to do with who your father and mother are except that if they happened to be Christians, they hopefully brought you up as one, too. The universality claimed by the Christian message is a direct result of its claim for truth, and that it is only through Jesus Christ that anyone can be saved. These are extraordinary claims. Let us live them to the full in order to justify them.

Luke 11:27-28
27 While he was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed.” 28 He replied, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”

Gospel on October 9, 2009

1st READING

Sometimes it is our duty to correct others. This is not a license to become a busybody, but a duty to be exercised with all discernment, wisdom, mercy and compassion. It is not an easy thing to either give or receive correction; however, it is an essential aspect of discipleship that is often neglected.

Joel 1:13-15; 2: 1-2
13 Gird yourselves and weep, O priests! Wail, O ministers of the altar! Come, spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God! The house of your God is deprived of offering and libation. 14 Proclaim a fast, call an assembly; gather the elders, all who dwell in the land, into the house of the LORD, your God, and cry to the LORD! 15 Alas, the day! For near is the day of the LORD, and it comes as ruin from the Almighty. 2: 1 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming; 2 Yes, it is near, a day of darkness and of gloom, a day of clouds and somberness! Like dawn spreading over the mountains, a people numerous and mighty! Their like has not been from of old, nor will it be after them, even to the years of distant generations.

P S A L M

Psalm 9:2-3. 6 and 16. 8-9
R: The Lord will judge the world with justice.
1 [2] I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will declare all your wondrous deeds. 2 [3] I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, Most High. (R) 5 [6] You rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; their name you blotted out forever and ever. 15 [16] The nations are sunk in the pit they have made; in the snare they set, their foot is caught. (R) 7 [8] But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has set up his throne for judgment. 8 [9] He judges the world with justice; he governs the peoples with equity. (R)

G O S P E L

There is an ongoing battle between the powers of good and evil, but it is one whose destiny is already determined if only we invoke the Name of Jesus and surrender our lives to the victory He offers us through His cross. The only way the devil can prevail is if we insist on fighting against him with our own strength rather than that of Jesus or the Holy Spirit. This is what it means to embrace the fruits of our Baptism â€" to live in the freedom and victory of the sons and daughters of God.

Luke 11:15-26
15 When Jesus had driven out a demon, some of the crowd said: “By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons.” 16 Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven. 17 But he knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house. 18 And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons. 19 If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if it is by the finger of God that drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man fully armed guards his palace, his possessions are safe. 22 But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on which he relied and distributes the spoils. 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 24 “When an unclean spirit goes out of someone, it roams through arid regions searching for rest but, finding none, it says, ‘I shall return to my home from which I came.’ 25 But upon returning, it finds it swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings back seven other spirits more wicked than itself who move in and dwell there, and the last condition of that person is worse than the first.”

Interesting Animals
God must love animals - He made so many of them!

Some animals are so small that you need a microscope to see them. Others are huge. All are interesting.

There are more than a million animal species. There are 6,000 species of reptiles, 73,000 kinds of spiders, and 3,000 types of lice. For each person there is about 200 million insects. The 4,600 kinds of mammals represent a mere 0,3% of animals and the 9,000 kinds of birds only 0,7%. The most abundant bird species is the red-billed quelea of sub-Saharan Africa, numbering almost 2 billion.

Even so, about one third of animals have been driven to extinction as a result of mismanagement and polution by the fast-growing human population. Please take good care of the animals around you. Make your garden bird and bee-friendly. Contribute time or money to animal associations wherever possible.

The number 13

It is believed that the fear for the number 13 stems from primitive man being unable to count past 12. Numbers beyond 12 do now have an individual and independent name but are a combination of the first 12 numbers. With 12 being the end of the line, 13 was moving into unknown territory.

In Norse mythology the 13th number led to the death of Baldur, the beloved of the gods. When the 12 gods gathered for a banquet in Valhalla, Loki gatecrashed the party, increasing the number to 13, which led to the death of Baldur. It also happens that in Tarot cards, 13 is called "Death."

The fear for traveling on a Friday continued until the early 20th century where in Europe bus and train travel was lowest on a Friday. But before you say "Thank Goodness, it's Friday!" consider that today, FBI statistics show, most robberies take place on a Friday.

For centuries sailors refused to set sail on a Friday. It is told that when the reluctance of seamen to set sail on a Friday had reached such proportions that it interfered with naval operations, the British Admiralty decided to prove once and for all that it is a fallacy. They laid the keel of a new vessel on a Friday, named her H.M.S. Friday, and launched her on a Friday. On her first voyage, setting sail on a Friday, she was commanded by Captain James Friday. She left the harbour and nothing has since been heard of her or her crew. The identical story has also found its place in American lore.

In pagan times Friday was the luckiest day of the week because it was ruled by the planet Venus, the symbol of love and fortune. In fact, Friday is named in honour of Freya, goddess of Love.

But for Christians, Friday has not been a good day. Adam and Eve is said to have eaten the forbidden fruit on a Friday and died on a Friday. Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

What do people fear most? At the top of the list is death, the fear of which is necrophobia. Second, apparently, is the fear of failure, which is called kakorrhaphiophobia. There is of course a story of how fears developed, like fear for the number 13. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia.

Bible Study / Mary, the Mother of God
October 09, 2009, 04:14:56 PM
PANGUTANA:

Nganong moingon man kamo nga si Maria inahan ni Jesus, ulay kanunay? Dili ba si San Jose bana ni Maria ug kay magtiayon man sila, dili sala kon maghimo sila sa buhat sa magtiayon: Kini nahimo ni Jose kay giingon sa kasulatan, “Ug wala si Jose makighilawas kang Maria sa wala pa siya manganak kang Jesus, ang anak niya nga panganay,” (Mat. 1:25) Klaro, nga human manganak si Maria kang Jesus gihilabtan na ni Jose si Maria. Giingon usab nga si Jesus adunay manghud: “Dili ba kini si Jesus, ang panday, ang iyang inahan mao si Maria, ang iyang mga amahan mao si Jose? Ug ang iyang igsoon mao sila si Santiago, Judas, Jose ug si Simon ug ang iyang mga igsoong mga babaye ania man uban kanato?” (Mar. 6:3). Tubaga kini (Dan Cugtas, Lawaan II, Talisay City, Cebu).

TUBAG:


Gitagna nga usa ra si Jesus nga anak sa Iyang inahan nga mao si Maria, ug wala Siya’y manghud. Si Profeta Ezekiel miingon: “Ania ang usa ka pultahan, moagi niini ang Ginoong Dios sa Israel. Ug wala nay tawo nga moagi pa niini nga pultahan, kay kini pagasirhan na” (Ezek. 44:3). Ang mga lalawigan sa Palestina mao ang Judea, Samaria ug ang Idmea. Sila adunay mga ganghaan, apan daghan ang miagi ug misulod niini. Ang bugtong pultahan nga gipasabot nga giagian sa Ginoong Dios sa Israel mao ang tagoanggan ni Maria. Ug kini tak-opan na.

Ang giingon: “Wala hilabti ni Jose si Maria hangtud nga siya nag-anak kang Jesus nga iyang panganay,” Wala magpasabot nga dunay nahitabo human sa pagpanganak ni Maria. Kay sa Bibliya ang pulong “hangtud” wa’y gipasabot nga human sa okasyon nga gihangturan dunay sunod nga mahitabo: “Gipadala ni Noe ang uwak, apan wala na kini mobalik hangtud nahubas ang tubig,” (Gen. 8:7). Wala magpasabot nga human mahubas ang tubig mibalik ang uwak. Busa ang pag-ingon nga “Wala hilabti ni Jose si Maria hangtud nanganak kang Jesus,” nagpasabot nga bisan humana manganak si Maria kang Jesus, si Jose wala mohilabot kang Maria. Ang pulong hangtud maoy gigamit sa mga karaang Bibliya nga hubad bisan sa atong mga igsoong Protestante sa Mat. 1:25.

Ug kining giingon nga mga igsoon ni Jesus dili mga anak ni Jose ug ni Maria. Ang ilang ginikanan mao si Alfeo-Kleopas ug Maria usab ang ngalan sa iyang asawa (Luk. 6:13-16, Juan 19:25-26, Mar. 15:40). Gitawag sila ug igsoon ni Jesus, kay ang asawa ni Kleopas paryenti ra usab ni Santa Maria inahan ni Jesus, subay kini sa ilang kultura (Ezek 11:25, Roma 9:3). Ang pulong “panganay” nagkahulogan nga mao ang una nga miagi sa tagoangkan sa inahan, bisan pa og wala kini manghud (Exudos 13:1). Lahi sa kamagulangan, kay kini nagpasabot nga dunay mga manghud. Si Jesus gitawag og “panganay” sa mga balaan nga nagsunod sa kabubot-on sa Dios, apan dili sa pagkamagsoon sa unod, kay si Jesus wala may mga manghud, (Zacarias 12:10). “Sila nagbangotan tungod kaniya, ingon sa usa ka anak nga bugtong..iyang Anak nga panganay.”

The Bible: Myth or History?
Posted by catholicfaithdefender on April 4, 2008

The Bible: Myth or History?
PETER KREEFT
“Yes and No” is Peter Kreeft’s answer to so many religion texts which leave students thinking of religion as little more than a dull and boring rehash of things everyone already knows. Kreeft’s book asks hard questions, great questions, and then answers them convincingly.

Peter Kreeft
Sal: Chris, I’ve got to ask you something personal.

Chris: Go ahead, Sal: We’re friends, aren’t we?

Sal: How do you know so much about God? Are you a theological brain?

Chris: No, not at all. I’m just an ordinary person.

Sal:You must have taken some high level religion courses somewhere.

Chris: No . . .

Sal: Then you must have read hundreds of books.

Chris: No, Sal. Actually, what I know about God for sure comes from just one book. In fact, what the whole human race knows about God for sure, and not just as a matter of speculation and guesswork, comes from just one book.

Sal: The Bible, you mean?

Chris: Yes.

Sal: You really believe that one book gives you all the facts about God?

Chris: All the facts? Of course not. How could we ever have all the facts about the Infinite One? None of us can have complete knowledge of God, any more than a clam could have complete knowledge of us. Less so, in fact, because the difference between us and clams is only finite, but the difference between us and God is infinite.

Sal: Some facts, then?

Chris: Yes, what he told us.

Sal: So you think you’ve got some hard facts there in the Bible, eh?

Chris: I don’t know what you mean by “hard facts”.

Sal: Like the stuff science gives us.

Chris: No. Science measures things. We can’t measure God.

Sal: So it’s just myth, then.

Chris: No, it’s truth.

Sal: You mean you really think God sits up there in the sky on a golden throne and has a strong right hand, and gets angry?

Chris: No. That’s poetic language. But you can tell the truth in poetic language, you know. God really is exalted â€" though not physically, in space, in the sky. God really does rule the universe, though not from a physical golden throne. God really does have all power, though he doesn’t have the same kind of strength as Muhammad Ali had in his right hand. And God really does want us to do good and not evil, though he doesn’t get hysterical and red in the face.

Sal: So it’s just symbolism.

Chris: But true symbolism. Not just a made-up story, like Santa Claus.

Sal: So you admit the whole Bible is poetic symbolism, not literal history.

Chris: No, I didn’t say that. I said that the language it uses to describe God has to be symbolic. God can’t be described literally because we can’t see him. He doesn’t have a physical body. But there are a lot of things in the Bible that are described literally -things we can see.

Sal: How can you tell what parts of the Bible to interpret symbolically and what parts to interpret literally? Isn’t it just your personal preference?

Chris: No, there’s an objective standard.

Sal: Well, what is it?

Chris: It’s quite simple, really. Language about visible things is meant literally, language about invisible things is meant symbolically.

Sal: So the story of the creation of the world in Genesis is meant literally? It is about visible things, the universe.

Chris: But before the creation of Adam and Eve there was no human eye around to see it. So the account isn’t an eyewitness account. It’s true, but not literal. The “6 days” of creation, for instance, don’t have to be 24 hour days.

Sal: And the last book in the Bible, the book of Revelation â€" all that stuff about the end of the world, horses and burning mountains going through the sky and angels blowing trumpets â€" that’s not literal either, right?

Chris: Right. That’s symbolism. But it’s true. It’ll happen, just as the creation happened.

Sal: But it’s not literal because nobody’s there to see it yet. It’s future.

Chris: Well, prophecies of the future can be literal. You could predict something literally. Some passages in the Bible do. For instance, the Old Testament predicts dozens of specific details about the Messiah that happened, literally, to Jesus, like being sold for 30 pieces of silver, and having his clothes gambled for.

Sal: I guess I’m really concerned with whether you interpret the miracle stories literally or not.

Chris: If they’re meant literally, yes.

Sal: Like Noah’s flood and the ten plagues in Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea? And all Jesus’ miracles? And the literal Resurrection?

Chris: Yes.

Sal: Well, I don’t.

Chris: Don’t what?

Sal: Believe the miracle stories. So I don’t interpret them literally, I interpret them symbolically.

Chris: You’re confused, Sal.

Sal: You mean you think I’m wrong. But I’m not confused. I know what I believe and what I don’t believe.

Chris: No, I mean you’re confused. You’re confusing two different questions: interpretation and belief

Sal: What do you mean?

Chris: The question of interpretation is: What did the writer mean? The question of belief is: Do you agree with him? The question of interpretation is: What does the Bible claim to be true? The question of belief is: What do you believe really is true?

Sal: Well, I interpret the Bible according to my beliefs.

Chris: But that’s your confusion, Sal: Suppose I read a speech by Hitler that said we should create a super-race of Germans and kill all the Jews. Suppose I didn’t believe that, so I interpreted the speech according to my beliefs and I said that what the speech really meant was that all races were equal and we should love one another. Do you see how I would be confused?

Sal: Not about race, or love.

Chris: But about what Hitler meant.

Sal: Oh. Yes. I see. But wouldn’t it be good to improve on such a terrible speech?

Chris: If you want to make a speech yourself, yes. If you want to choose what to believe in, yes. But if you want to know what Hitler meant, no. That’s your confusion. You think the Bible’s stories of miracles are false. Why not just say so, clearly? The miracle stories are either lies or true history. They’re not myth. They’re not meant mythically, or poetically, or symbolically.

Sal: But I think they are. What could be more poetic and symbolic than life coming out of death â€" Jesus’ Resurrection is just like spring. And Moses’ crossing the Red Sea is a perfect symbol for overcoming death, or any obstacle. There are all sorts of poetic, symbolic meanings in the miracles.

Chris: I agree. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t literal too. They’re signs. But if a sign isn’t really there â€" if there’s no literal piece of wood on a pole â€" then it can’t symbolize anything, can it? So if Moses didn’t really cross the Red Sea, it’s not a real sign of anything. I believe the miracles are signs and symbols, all right. But I also believe they really happened. They’re not just stories, myths. You think that’s all they are, right?

Sal: Right.

Chris: So you agree with the demythologizers.

Sal: What’s that?

Chris: The word was made popular by a German theologian named Rudolf Bultmann. It means that the miracle stories are only myths, and that we should believe the rest of the Bible, but not the myths. A lot of theologians believe that. Many rabbis and priests and ministers do too. Some writers of catechism textbooks too.

Sal: So I’m in good company.

Chris: No, in numerous company. Truth isn’t found by counting noses. I’d rather agree with God even if only a few human beings agreed with me, than agree with millions of humans but disagree with God.

Sal: Well, doesn’t the clergy teach demythologizing? You said a lot of rabbis and ministers and priests believe it. Are they heretics?

Chris: Technically, yes. If they disagree with essential teachings of the Bible. But the word heretic isn’t used much any more.

Sal: You sound sad. Do you want to burn heretics, like the Inquisition?

Chris: Of course not. You can label an idea accurately without wanting to burn the people who hold it.

Sal: I’m glad to hear that. Because I guess I’m a heretic. I think for myself I don’t just swallow whatever line the Church gives me.

Chris: Then you have your reasons for disagreeing?

Sal: Certainly.

Chris: I think you can guess what my next question is going to be.

Sal: We went over those reasons in that conversation we had about miracles.

Chris: Yes. You see, everything is connected. If there’s no supernatural God with the power to work miracles, then miracles can’t happen. If miracles can’t happen, then Christ didn’t really rise from the dead. If Christ didn’t really rise from the dead, the story is only a myth, and the demythologizers are right. (Though they’re still confusing the two questions of interpretation and belief; they should say the story is a lie, not a myth.) Do you have any other reasons, any new reasons for being a demythologizer of the Bible?

Sal: Yes, I do. I’ve been reading some books about this, and I think I’ve found at least four good reasons for being skeptical about the Bible.

Chris: Go ahead. What are they?

Sal: For one thing, there’s what they call “form criticism”. That means you should interpret a text not absolutely but relative to its literary form. If the form is poetry or myth or parable, you just don’t take the story literally.

Chris: That’s a good principle. So apply it to eyewitness descriptions too, and historical narratives, and interpret them literally, just as you interpret symbolism symbolically. The miracle stories have the form of history, not myth.

Sal: No they don’t. And that’s my second point: the resemblances between the Bible’s miracle stories and myth. They’re both full of magic. And things like magic numbers: ten plagues, forty days of fasting, three days in the tomb.

Chris: Do you mean to say no one ever really fasts forty days, and plagues can really come in any number but ten? Or that if Jesus had spent four days in the tomb you’d be more likely to believe it?

Sal: Well, no. But mustn’t we distinguish two different, questions, the question of belief and the question of history? That’s my third point. Whether Moses really crossed the Red Sea or not is not important; that’s the question of history. The important thing is whether or not God was there; the point of the Bible is religion, not history.

Chris: But the Bible’s religion depends on history. Its God works in history. Your distinction between history and religion fits Oriental religions, but not Western religions. It’s not important whether Buddha ever really lived; the only important thing is meditation and practicing Buddha’s way. But Christianity is different: it’s about Christ. If he never lived, or never died and rose again, then Christianity is simply a lie. Aren’t you honest enough to call it that, if that’s what you believe?

Sal: But it has so much good stuff to say about ethics and love and neighborliness.

Chris: Everybody knows that already, even though they don’t practice it. Remember our first conversation? If ethics is all that Christianity means, forget it.

Sal: Why?

Chris: Because then it’s just copying all the other good philosophies and moralities. It claims to be different; it claims to be history, “good news”, Gospel: that God came to earth and died on the cross and rose again to save us from sin and death and Hell.

Sal: That’s what you say it is.

Chris: That’s simply what Christianity is, and always was from the beginning. If you don’t believe that, you’re not a Christian. Just agreeing with Jesus’ ethics doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than agreeing with Buddha’s ethics makes you a Buddhist.

Sal: Well, I guess I’ll have to say I’m not a Christian, then.

Chris: Good! That’s the first step to becoming one.

Sal: But I still have another reason for not believing in the stories in the Bible. We haven’t finished my four points, remember?

Chris: Sorry. What’s the fourth one?

Sal: There are contradictions in the Bible, internal in the Bible? consistencies in the stories. They can’t all be true.

Chris: Name one.

Sal: Did Jesus speak the Sermon on the Mount all at once, as Matthew reports, or on different occasions, as Luke reports?

Chris: Why couldn’t it be both? In any case Matthew didn’t say Jesus said it all at once, he just said Jesus said it.

Sal: Well, what about the sign on the cross? How many words were on it? Each of the four Gospels has a different version.

Chris: Why couldn’t they all be right, but some are condensed, sort of Reader’s Digest versions, so to speak? If the sign really read, “This is Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews”, then the account that says simply “Jesus, King of the Jews” isn’t false, just condensed. The essential point is the same. Show me a single contradiction about an essential point of substance, not just a matter of verbal style.

Sal: Well, they’re different, anyway.

Chris: The very fact that the four Gospels tell the same story in different ways is strong evidence that the story is true â€" like four witnesses in court telling the story in four different ways. If they agreed word for word, you’d think they had made it up and collaborated beforehand. The differences don’t amount to contradictions. And the four Gospels agree remarkably â€" more so, much more so, than any other set of ancient documents about any other ancient event.

Sal: But an event so long ago â€" isn’t it likely that the telling of it got garbled, like the party game where you sit in a circle and tell a message around? â€" by the time it gets to the tenth person it’s a completely different message.

Chris: That’s why the Church wrote it down in the Bible, and preserved this book with infinite care.

Sal: Well, even so, no matter how carefully the book is preserved, it’s just a book. Written by human beings. Their ideas about God.

Chris: That’s the essential question about the Bible: Is it our ideas about God or is it God’s ideas about us? Is it God’s Word to us or our words about God?

Sal: Yes, that’s the essential question all right. It’s like the question about God: Did he create us in his image or do we create him in our image?

Chris: Yes, and that’s like the essential question about the Christian story too: Is it the story of our search for God or the story of God’s search for us? Is it God coming down in Christ, the “one way” down, or is it us trying to get up to God, with Christ just one of the many human ways up, one of many manmade religions?

Sal: At least we’ve got the questions straight. And I see that all these questions are parts of one question: the question about the Bible being God’s Word or ours, the question about God being Creator or created by us, the question about Christ being God’s way down or our way up, and the question about the Christian religion being the one divine way or just one of many human ways. It all fits together.

Chris: Did I fail to answer any of your reasons for not believing the Bible?

Sal: Well, no, not really.

Chris: Then your reason for not believing it must be something else than what we’ve talked about. We’ve clarified the question, but not your real motive for answering it “no”.

Sal: What do you think my real motive is? Are you going to psychoanalyze me?

Chris: No, but I have a good guess, and I can only ask you to honestly ask yourself whether this guess is accurate or not. You want to believe the demythologizers, right?

Sal: Right.

Chris: Why? Because you don’t believe in miracles, right?

Sal: Right.

Chris: And why don’t you believe in miracles? Because if miracles happen, then Christ really did rise from the dead, and then he is not just a human ideal but he is really God â€" everyone’s God, your God too, Sal. Then he has claims on your soul and on your life, right here and now. Then you have to face him and repent, turn around, beg forgiveness, let him be your Lord rather than you being your own lord. That’s not an easy or comfortable thing to do, and I’m not trying to put you down for not doing it. I’m just trying to help you be honest with yourself and know yourself. Only you can answer the question: Is that really your motive for not believing? The reason I suspect it is, is because none of your arguments seem to stand up. The house of your beliefs doesn’t stand on rational foundations. All your arguments can be answered. You just choose to believe there’s no God, or no miracles, or no Resurrection, or no salvation.

Sal: Maybe so, Chris we’re friends, so we have to be honest with each other. I appreciate your speaking so frankly about this -acquaintances have to be polite, but friends can say hard things to each other. And I have to be as honest with you as you were with me: I just don’t know.

Chris: That’s a wonderful discovery, Sal: that you don’t know. That’s the beginning of wisdom.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.

Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house.

Just so, your light must shine before  others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father

(Matthew 5:13-16).

Ang daotan ayaw balosi ug daotan. Ang panghimaraot ayaw tumbasig panghimaraot. Balosi hinuon kinig panalangin kay gisaaran man kamo sa Diyos nga iyang panalanginan sa dihang gitawag kamo niya.

Dili ang pagpaanindot sa buhok o ang paggamit sa mga alahas o ang pagsul-ob sa mga mahalon nga bisti maoy makapaanyag kaninyo. Apan tinguhaa hinuon ang katahom nga naggikan sa sulod ninyo, katahom nga walay paglubad nga mao ang malumo ug matam-is nga kinaiya nga bililhon kayo sa atubangan sa Diyos.

Inday sa Lantay

Bisan pa ang maanyag nga langit,
Karong taknaa gitabunan sa panganod sa kasakit,
Dili mapugngan ang dughan ko sa pagsud-ong kanimo,
Kaanyag nga walay ingon diha kanimo nakita ko.

Sa pagkasud-ong ko sa walay kapares nga ikaw,
Ang tanang kahadlok nawala hasta ang kamingaw,
Kay sa imong pahiyom ang kasubo ko natunaw,
Kalipay nga hilabihan kauban sa bidlisiw sa adlaw.

Sama ka sa dalan nga nagtultol sa akong panaw,
Huyohoy sa hangin naghatag kanako ug kalinaw,
Putli’ng tubig gikan sa tubod tambal sa ahong kauhaw,
Sakto’ng plano tamdanan sa tanan ko’ng laraw.

O maanyag nga bulahan sa tanang katawhan,
Nganong gipaantos ang dughan kung dug-an,
Lingia lang ang nagdamgo ug naghigwaos’ng dughan,
Ug ang langit, yuta, buwan ihatag kanimo ang tanan.

Karong takna nga ang adlaw pagakaunon na sa kangitngit,
Sa damgo ikaw akong handumon ug sa Kahitas-an isangit,
Nga sa imong pagkatulog sud-ongon ug bantayan ka sa langit,
Kay aron ang kadautan dili makahikap kanimo ni makapislit.

ang uban pud bay kay inig botar unja mura syag gahi muboto sa politico, taparan man ug leader. pero pwede ra ba unta ang mga teachers buwagon ni sila. ang term sa mga leader ini OPEN BALLOT. pwede pud ini nga style nga ang tawo ipakita niya mismo ang iya ballota sa leader nga naa pud sa presinto although bawal tungod sa ballot secrecy law.

Lisud jud lagi ning tua ta sa bukid ba kay wa jud kagawasan ang mga tawo mopili sa husto, angayan nga pilion.

Si Jonah according to our Youth For Christ CFC Coordinator was the youngest prophet during his time.

Hesitant to heed the call of God mao nga milabigar ug palajo thinking he could escape the task. The last sentences of the last chapter of the book of Jonah reminds us how great is the love of God for us.

Let us not worry. ;D

SOUTHERN LEYTE:

Sa amoa kung ang imong kaistorya dili motuo sa imong giingon nija, moingon dajon imong kaistorya ug "KAJAT."

Ajaw lamang pud kahajang kay ang KAJAT sa amoa is also used as an expression of disbelief or awe.

Sometimes, it is also used as a greeting, like "Kajat! Naunsa naman ka ron?"

Naa na pud bag-o nga pulong nacoin karon sa amoa, kanang TURJAK kono which means copulation. Ambot ug sa Bohol mao ba pud ni.
