Noah: Just and Perfect

Bakit sinabing “just and perfect” (KJV) o “righteous and blameless” si Noah sa Gen. 6:9? Basahin natin simula 6:5 na ang sabi’y, “the wickedness of man was great” at “every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Singular ang “man” dito sapagkat nag-generalize ang author hinggil sa tunay na kalagayan ng sankatauhan. Dahil dito marapat lamang […]

Ang Pag-ibig ng Dios sa Sanlibutan

“Sapagkat gayon na lamang ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa sanlibutan.” Yan ang sinabi sa unang bahagi ng John 3:16. Ginagamit iyan?ng iilan para palabasing?mahal ng Dios unconditionally ang lahat-lahat, individually without exception. Para sa kanila, ang salitang “world” sa?John 3:16 ay lahat ng tao, mabuti man o masama. Kaya lang paano naman Psalm 5:5 kung saan ipinahayag na kinapopootan ng […]

Dry Baptism

PART FOUR: Sa John 3:3-5 ay pinangaralan ng Panginoon si Nicodemus kung ano muna ang kailangang mangyari sa Israel bago sila makapasok sa kaharian ng Dios. Ginamit ng Panginoon ang salitang “water” na patalinhaga sa katagang “born of water and the Spirit.” Mababasa sa Part 1: Born Again kung paanong naging synonymous ang katagang “born of water and the Spirit” sa […]

Dapat Bang Ipagdiwang Ang Pasko?

Dapat bang ipagdiwang?natin ang Pasko gayong wala namang utos tulad ng mababasa natin sa Lev. 23:1-44 patungkol sa mga pista sa Israel??Yan ang isa sa mga katanungan na natatanggap ko sa tuwing sasapit?ang panahon ng kapaskuhan.?Ang iba pa nga ay nagsasabing pagan practice daw ang ganitong celebration?kaya?dapat na iwasan. Ngunit bilang mga Bible-based Christians ano ba ang dapat nating gawin? […]

Who Is The Real Troublemaker?

During the reign of Ahab, King of Israel, the true prophets of God were persecuted unto death. No thanks to his Phoenician wife, Jezebel, they hid in caves (1 Kings 18:4). When one of the true prophets of God named Elijah came out of hiding to confront the King, he was accused as the troublemaker in Israel (1 Kings 18:17-18). […]

Take Captive Every Thought

“A time to tear down and a time to build,” Eccl. 3:3b. Para makapag-tayo ng tamang pundasyon dapat talagang gibain muna ang maling pundasyon. Masakit malaman ang katotohanan, yan ang una mong natutunan nung nakilala mo ang tunay na Kristo, na ang kinagisnan mong paniniwala ay nalilihis pala sa sa tunay na Ebanghelio (Gal. 1:8) pero anong ginawa mo? Inakap […]

To Judge or Not

To judge or not to judge? That is the question. And rightly so, since that the Lord has said “Judge not, that ye be not judged” (Mat 7:1, KJV). But this verse has raised concerns to a few why discernment ministries such as this one and?The Bereans: Apologetics Research Ministry?are able to label “false” the prophet-, the teacher-, and the […]

Bold Stephen the “Heretic”

“When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth…. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord.” Acts 7:54-57 (KJV) Emotional and insecure, that’s how the religious leaders handled the case of Stephen before they stoned him to death.
