Hehehe bai ..... di na mao ang punto na 3 years ka naglagot pod ni Eli , maski 100 years pa na .
im just sharing my experience.....
Sa imohang sulti na " walang matigas na tinapay sa mainit na
kape " , obvious kaau na si Eli ang kape ug ang uban pang sekto ang tinapay ....
sayop ka sa imo nga analysis.... ang saktong interpretation sa akong gsulti...... ang "tinapay" kay "ako"..... ug ang "kape" kay ang "Bible" and it was Eli who enlightened mo on that matter......
unya ug ako ibalik nimo ang pangutana na WHAT IF YOULL FIND OUT na SAYOP pod si ELI ug ikaw ?
ive already thinked of that..... sa una ra..... dont to tell me to do something that i've already done.......
hehehehe , here we go again making us read ELI's bible verses on whats not to do because it is a SIN
.
that wasnt Eli's bible verses.... sa bisan pa asang bible nimo basahon....bisan sa Catholic pa nga bible...... mao japun ang pagkastate..... galibog lang ko ngano sa kadaghan sa pari, sa mga catholic defenders..... uh hasta sa kadaghan sa members..... wala man japun kabasa...... or basin nibasa lang... and didnt care.......
PRAY is a subjective word . Just because the LORDS PRAYER , ROSARY , ANGELUS etc existed doesnt mean that those prayers are the one being pin pointed by the verse you provided
wala na gispecify sa bible on to what particular prayers ang naggamit sa "vain repitition".... kay ngano

wala pa man na niexist sa una kana nga mga prayers..... kanang rosary, angelus, etc........
and the verse..... nga.....
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Matthew 6 : 7
so the verse is some king of a warning..... ug bisan pa ani nga warning.... naa pa man japun mga gahig ulo......
WHat the verse you provided meant are prayers of request like " LORD MAAYO UNTA UG MAKADAOG KO SA LOTTO " said 100 times . See how LITERALLY is it about prayer according to you guys
praying and sayong "LORD MAAYO UNTA UG MAKADAOG KO SA LOTTO" said once is just okey..... but said 100 times is too much...... unsay tuo ninyo sa Diyos? BUNGOL?
As what you said GOD WILL SURELY DO , hehehe u assume to much . God loves us so much that HE wishes whats best for us . He will show the way , the truth and the life and not by calling the non believers as FOOLS .
refer again to the true definiton of the word FOOL......
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1 : 7
Bai , I noticed that you keep on saying " NAGPATAKA MAN MO UG YAWYAW OI.
kato akong gisulti brod.... is addressed to one of our kaistoryans here.... ug dili para nimo.... kabalo ka ngano ako gisultian siya sa ingon? kay gapataka man tinuod..... dili lang once.... or twice.... but he did it more than twice...... he insisted nga "tanan daw tawo was given the gift of understanding"........... which is of course not true.....
ayaw pataka ug sabat bay......
