RELIGION

one thing that i would like to say is that the BIBLE is the supreme source of all our questions about God about the doubts that we have on ourselves on our church and on everybody on everything about our life.

This really isn't true. There was no Bible in the early Christian Church. So what was the "supreme source" for the early Christians?

If you really trhink about it, you have to ask: How do we know the Bible is the Word of God? Who decided that it was? Who decided what books should be in the Bible?

For the early Christians the answer was obvious: The Catholic Church.

It was the Catholic Church that determined which books were to be in the Bible. It made use of the authority that Christ Himself gave to the Apostles and to their successors in making those decisions about the canon (list of books) of the Bible. It was the Catholic Church that put together the Bible and it was members of that same Church that even wriote some of the books in the new Testament.

The Church, therefore, is also a supreme source. If you deny that, you have to deny the authority of the Bible too.

God bless!

Be cautious on ecumenism. For even the law and testimony will NOT see the light of dawn if they don't live according to the Word. Isaiah says so in Chapter 8: 20 of his prophetic book.

That alludes to the Pharisees who skipped the entirety of the Law and to obvious ba...

But let us NOT forget the deeds that are necessary for grace to overflow all the more (per N'Gel's admonitions)

Some food for thought.

If we put Baywatch Babes and The Dalai Lama side by side is one less wholesome than the other?

[Cardinal Bunal]

Baywatch Babes vs. The Dalai Lama.

The ability to arouse impure thoughts by the Baywatch Babes is considered as "the call of the flesh" in the Christian religion. It will reap destruction whereas answering to the call of the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Dalai Lama is a more spirited person.

In hedonistic phi.losphies though - this won't be the case.

Sovabon is one of the users with subdued voices in here, but his suggestion is very interesting

Brod, thanks for the comment. I just wanted to make peace with you guys out there and laying down all arguements personally. It is good to hear one talking his belief and faith in real person so that we, listeners, can gauge him if he is truly saying it seriously and by his heart. Then, as istoryans, we maintain the professionalism here. Forum is just only saying of what you believe is right, not stepping of one's personal weaknesses.

Then, where will we meet, and when?

Regarding religion, I am tolerant on religious freedom (except sacrifices, killing, and orgy (the sexual orgy)). Ang dili lang nako ganahan dira kay ang mga hipokrito.
