Manny Pacquiao might get his chance to knock out Floyd Mayweather, but apparently religious leaders in the Philippines would rather him go toe-to-toe with Tim Tebow.
"Tim Tebow became very popular by promoting the word of God," Bishop Pablo Virgilio David, who presides over the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines' (CBCP) bible ministry, told Agence France-Presse. "Some have referred to Manny Pacquiao as the Tim Tebow of the Philippines."
Church leaders asked Pacquiao become a "Bible ambassador" to help promote reading of the Bible of among Catholics. [Read. Don't make your own interpretation. Better yet, just read the day's Mass readings.] The boxing superstar regularly credits God for helping him succeed, and wears a rosary around his neck before and after his fights, according to the AFP. [And goes directly to the Black Nazarene Basilica in Quiapo to hear Mass after his arrival from his fight abroad.]
In mid-January, Pacquiao told a TV station in the Philippines that he decided to renew his faith [in the Catholic Church] and had given up vices such as gambling and womanizing following an "encounter with God" during a dream. [I have been reading reports that Manny has become a born-again Christian after a series of Bible studies with a born-again preacher. I doubt this conversion story. So treat it as a rumor. As to the Bible studies, priests who maybe close to him or even Catholics who know the danger of having a Born-Again pastor preach to Pacquaio better advise him to receive the Bible study from a Catholic lay preacher or a Catholic priest.]
AFP reports that during the dream, Pacquiao found himself deep inside a forest, where a voice from a shining bright light asked Pacquiao why he was going away from Him.
"I woke up crying. I remember I was crying in my dream and when I touched my pillow, it was wet," Pacquiao said. "If I had died last year or in the last two years, I'm sure I would have gone straight to hell. My faith in Him was there, 100 per cent, but behind it, after prayers, I would still do evil things."
Although Pacquiao, 32, spends more time studying the Bible these days, he didn't agree to team up with the Catholic Church in the Philippines. [Interesting.]
"We asked him to partner with us in promoting the reading of the Bible among Catholics," Bishop David told reporters. "We told him: 'You would be a big help to us brother Manny', but he has not pledged his partnership yet."

Former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza is a close friend of Pacquiao. Atienza is Catholic, so anyone here who knows the former mayor better tell him to tell Manny to stay away from the heretic pastor.
Here is a video of the "Bible sharing" of Pacquiao.
WORD OF CAUTION:
IF YOU WANT TO STUDY THE BIBLE AND STILL REMAIN CATHOLIC, TAKE IT FROM A CATHOLIC PRIEST, OK?
Will you go to a veterinarian if you are complaining of a very bad headache?
Good grief!
These nasty pastors only preach and want to "save" those who have the big bucks. Shows what they are really saving, eh?
it seems magiging inevitable na ang conversion niya at ng pamilya niya kung walang mag guide sa kanya na catholic (priest/preacher). we can reasonably expect na sooner or later hindi na siya catholico considering na interesado ata talaga siya sa bible studies niya with a certain pastor.
ReplyDeleteganyan din mga artista eh sinasabi catholic pa rin sila after attending other church services but after a couple of weeks or months malaman mo di na pala sila catholic.
i also noticed na yong mga nagplaplano at gusto magbago ng buhay na puno ng kasalanan ang karamihan umaalis sa catholicism.
we have to admit di masyado kasi personal ang guidance ng church natin unlike other churches that has limited members tutok talaga ang support group nila sa mga members. i hope the catholic church and the catholics themselves address this.
Rafael, actually there are a lot of Catholic groups, communities and ministries who support families and wayward Catholics in getting back to the fold. But the difference between the Pentecostals and the Catholics is that the Pentecostals approach the members personally since, like what you said, they are fewer in number so they can better zero in on their members or in Tagalog "tutok sa pag-alaga".
DeleteI Was thinking about what Manny should do is to Consult a Priest Regularly,in the same lines you presented.
Deletethanks.
ReplyDeletejust an update, i guess the pastors within and around pacquiao circle have to wait at least during the lifetime of aling dionisia, who apparently, does not want manny to change religion. here is a video link.
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/video/nation/regions/02/01/12/pacquiao-ready-be-bible-ambassador
it is about time for some concerned Catholics to steer manny towards catholic groups or ministries in his personal quest to explore the bible then perhaps the kerygyma of bo sanchez would be good for manny or el shaddai or have him and his wife to join couples for Christ or even knights of the Columbus.
personally i would like manny to grow spiritually as a catholic because he has and have been an inspiration to other Catholics. even hollywood catholic actors were inspired by manny's faith.
i watched in the news that Pacman will not leave his Catholic Faith! woohoo!! we have to thank Nanay Dionisia!! even though she is ridiculed by the media she is a very devout Catholic!!
ReplyDeleteis it weird that i was briefly bothered by the change of religion issue involving manny?
ReplyDeletesome bloggers claim that in spirit pacquiao and his family are now born again Christians.
some also claim seeing manny and his family attending regularly church services at ccf. there was a photo of him attending the ordination of his alleged mentor pastor jeric soriano.
According to manny, ang Bibliya ang susi tungkol sa buhay na walang hanggan. Well, Cong. Manny, Ang susi ay ibinigay kay San Pedro. Hanapin mo ang simbahan ni Pedro, yun ang sinasabi ng "susi" mo.
ReplyDeleteOh well, I hope Cong Manny will find a GOOD PRIEST who would steer him to the faith. Since he is surrounded by too many guards, all we can do is to pray. And by good priest I mean REAL DEVOUT PRIEST. I know a priest who told a born again Christian TO REMAIN PROTESTANT since we are worshiping the same Jesus. hay.
ako din po ay nagugulohan sa manga discuassion patungkol sa pananampalataya, bakit ba maraming lumilipat sa others relliguois belief at nag sasabi na sila ay nag bagong buhay, at binago sila ng panginoon... at ako rin mismo ay saksi, na totoo nga na talagang nag bago sila!! bakit hinde ba ma adress na ating kaparian ang katuroang pag babago sa ating simbahan? ng sa gayon ma pakita natin sa boung mundo na kahit katoliko tayo, ay andon ang tunay na pag babago... ang kahilingan ko lamang po, sana po matutukan ng ating manga kaparian ang pag tuturo ng wasto sa biblikal faith ng ating manga kababyan, ituro ng wasto ang bibliya t tunay na pagbabago, ng sa ganoon ang pag babago ay mararanasan na rin natin sa sting simbahan katoliko upang hinde na lumipat sa ibang relihyon an ating mang kababayan...
ReplyDeletewhy we as catolic, why we are affected from that??? we are a free country, for me as long as you belive in jesus and doing right no matter what religion you have as long as you are christian... me i am a catolic but iam change also, and this is may choose to remain catolic!!! if the other is choosing other relligion, so be it.. that it is thier choice!! why will be affected of that.. let manny go where ever he goes, if that is his choice... but for me i will remain catolic as well..!!!
ReplyDeleteNo, Kadong. You are very wrong!
DeleteThe Jesus of the Catholics is not completely the same with the Jesus of the Born-again and other Christian denominations.
So, NO! It will never be the same.
sa sarili ko lang pong openyon, kaya po tayo na uungosan ng manga born again, dahil sa sinasabi nyo na iba ang jesus nating manga katoliko at iba rin ang jesus ng manga born again.. bakit ano ang pinag kaiba? kasi sabi ng isang born again e ang diyos nila gumagawa ng himala sa buhay ng tao like binabago ang buhay, nawawala ang bisyo, nagging mabait naging mapag mahal sa kapwa, at ano pa... pero sa akin kasing paniniwala isa lang po ang jesus christ ng manga born agai at katoliko,, ksi ako katoliko rin dahil sa paniniwala ko sa poong nazareno wich is jesus christ nag bago din po ang buhay ko, naiwan ko rin po ang manga bisyo at masasamang ugali ko na binigay ko ang buhay ko kay jesus the nazarine.,. kaya para sa akin iisang diyos lang po tayon pinaniniwalaan mag kaiba lang ang ating simbahan at relihiyon, katolad sa akin pinili kung maghing katoliko at nag bago ang buhay ko, at marami din dito sa pilipinas at sa ibang bansa na binago ni jesus ang buhay nila... kaya wala pong pinag kaiba doon, at yan din ang tinoturo sa amin ng aming pare na iisa lang ang diyos nating lahat, kaya para sa akin di po ako sang ayon sa sinasabi nyo na iba ang diyos ng born again sa catolic.. kaya sa akin lang po e pakita po natin sa boong mundo na kahit tayo ay katoliko, yong buhay po natin ay isang magandang halimbawa, katolad ko pinag mamalaki ko na bilang isang katoliko, ay binago nga poong nazareno ang buhay ko, nawala ang manga bisyo ko, kaya para sa akin yong pagiging deboto natin ay e pakita natin sa gawa at hinde lang sa manga sinasabi at sinasalita natin.. alam nyo aminin ko medyo nahiya nga ako sa sarili ko ng mabalitaan ko si pakyaw ng sigi attend nya ng bible study sa born again pr at nag declare sya na nag bagong buhay sya sa pangangaral ng born again preacher, sa tagal na nag sisimba si pacman sa ating simbahang katoliko, nag tanong ako sa sarili ko, di ba ito tinuroan ng pare na mag bago na sa kanyang manga bisyo. like iwan nya na ang pang babae, at pag susgal, at hango sa alak?? ay sa amin kasing simbahan mahigpit ang katoroan ng aming pare na . dapat iwanan natin ang manga bisyo sa buhay natin,.. kaya aminin ko ng mabalitaan ko ang ng yari sa kay pacman medyo nahiya ako sa sarili ko bilang isang katoliko na si pacman ay nag bagong buhay dahiul sa turo ng manga born again preacher.. kaya tanong ko tuloy saan ba ang manga butihing kaparian natin oara maituro kay pacman ang tunay na pagiging katoliko na magandang halimbawa ang buhay... sana po matutukan ng ating maka kaparian ang pagtuturo sa mesa ng tunay na pag babago sa ating manga simbahan ng ma ipakita naman natin sa boong mundo, at sa ibang relihiyon, na kahit tayo ay katoliko ay nag babago rin ang ating buhay, nang sa ganon ang ibang katoliko na nag hahanagd mag bagong buhay ay di na lilipat sa ibang relihiyon para masumpongan ang pag babago, kasi sa ating simbahang katoliko ay masusumpngan din natin ito...
DeleteKadong, we are taught by the Lord to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" Mathew 28:19. By this verse alone it is very obvious and it is clear that it is NOT "okay" to see a Catholic just walk out of the faith while I eat popcorn since the concert is free. The people before the flood were OH SO FREE to choose NOT to join Noah in his ark...and look where their freedom led them. If i know that my brother will fall down towards a ravine, I would tell him to quit moving for him to escape perdition. I will not just STAND THERE and watch him fall.
ReplyDeleteJust believe in Jesus and do something right...hmmmmmm.
hay nakuh.. iba pala talaga ang katoliko dito sa pilipinas e compara mo sa usa at ibang bansa like europe... anyway that is stand as a catolic, kanya kanya po talaga tayo ng pananaw.. kasi kamis sa europe open minded kami na manga catolic, kasi kung ang inyong pananaw lamang ang inyong basihan marami kayong debating mararnasan sa ibang relihiyon, oero ako as a catolic kaya kung depensahan ang faith ko na hinde ma oopense ang ibang relihiyon, and in biblikal bases.. tama nga yong pare namin na marami daw sa katoliko sa pilipinas denedepinsahan lang ang church, but not the believers!... kasi sa europe ang tinituro doon sa amin ng manga madre at kaparian, na sa huling araw iisahin na ng panginoon ang manga protestant at katoliko na naniniwala kay kristo!! kasi bilang kristyano ang kalaban lang naman natin ay ang anti christ, ako bilang open minded na katoliko hinde po ako sang ayon sa manga reaksyon nyo... iba pala ang diyos ng katoliko, at diyos ng bor again.. he he he di ko kayo ini insulto pero yong manga reaksyon nyo parang malayo kayo sa katuroan ng simbahang katoliko.... basta ako ipnag mamalaki ko kahit akoy katoliko nag bago ang buhay ko ng dahil sa pananampalataya ko sa poong nazareno...
ReplyDeleteAy wag ka mag-alala sir, di kami naiinsulto sa sinabi mo. Ang madalas mainsulto eh yung mga taong malakas magsalita na may alam sila sa isang bagay pero lalabas sa huli na wala pala silang ka-alam-alam sa pinagsasabi nila. Oh by the way, I haven't heard of the European Catholicism you are talking about in your post. You are very enlightened indeed to have found American Catholicism and European Catholicism. But I would rather stay with MY ROMAN CATHOLICISM.
ReplyDeleteAnd...as you said Filipino Catholics merely defends the Church. It's as if defending the Church is a mortal sin. "Be sure to have a quick answer when asked about your faith" according to St.Paul. Oh I forgot, maybe St. Paul haven't heard of European Catholicism ey? Bad bad bad St.Paul.
The priests and the nuns are part of the Church...BUT THEY ARE NOT THE CHURCH. If they would say something that is contrary to the Faith, we are bound to reject them. As Bad bad St. Paul said, Even if an Angel of God speaks to you and tells you something different REJECT HIM"
Quicumque vult salvus esse ut teneat Catholicam Fidem. He who wishes to be saved must FIRST KEEP THE CATHOLIC FAITH. So how come Catholics and Protestants would someday join as one? The former keeps the faith, the latter VEHEMENTLY REJECTS IT. Sabi mo (in a sarcastic way) "iba pala ang Diyos ng Katoliko at Diyos ng Born Again" NEWS FLASH OPO!!!! MAGKAIBANG MAGKAIBA! The Protestant Jesus is different, waaaaaaaaaaaaay different from the Jesus (THE TRUE JESUS) taught by the Catholic Faith. The only way for Protestants to join Catholics is for them to REJECT PROTESTANTISM, CEASE BEING PROTESTANTS and ACCEPT THE CATHOLIC FAITH IN ITS ENTIRETY.
"Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, upon which the gates of hell will not prevail. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." There is only one true Catholic and Apostolic Church. Protestantism is an anomaly!
ReplyDeleteAMEN =)
ReplyDeleteYes Manny Pacquiao is now born again! and Amen to that... BUT that doesn't mean he has changed the denomination. Pacquiao is still a Catholic ...the term "born again" is not a denomination.. he is born again, spiritually. Unfortunately, many people still misinterprets the term "born again" as a denomination... being born again christian does not rely on the denomination that you belong to.. what makes a good Christian? Is it the denomination? is it the pastor or the priest? DEFINITELY NOT.. It is the FAITH (word faith is synonymous to the word RELIGION different from the denomination which is the "group") what makes a christian is his FAITH - CHRISTIANITY. Salvation is a free grace from God answerable by our FAITH by accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Saviour. that bears works of LOVE. Unlike what others claim I strongly believe that Salvation is not contained in only one denomination (Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans or Baptists, Fundamentalist Christianity, Pietism, Evangelicalism, Pentecostalism, Restoration movements etc.) You can be saved regardless of your DENOMINATION... what matters is your FAITH.... at the end of everything.. it is not how ANY of the christian denominations INTERPRET the bible that really matters to God... It is what's in your heart.. and what's in your spirit... and ONLY God can see the hearts of those who truly follow Christ.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes a good Christian?
ReplyDeleteAnswer: BEING CATHOLIC
REOJIE SAID:Salvation is not contained in one denomination?
BIBLE SAYS: I have other sheep that are not my own. I must bring them also and they shall heed my voice. So there shall be ONE FLOCK and ONE SHEPHERD. John 10:16.
REOJIE SAYS: You can be saved regardless of your denomination. (Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans or Baptists....)
BIBLE SAYS: I appeal to you brethren that all of you agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the SAME MIND and THE SAME JUDGEMENT. 1 Corinthians 1:10
Obviously the denominations you mentioned are not of the SAME JUDGEMENT. And why does St.Paul worries about having divisions? Lets ask his Master.
And Jesus said: If a kingdom is divided upon itself, that Kingdom will not stand. Mark 3:24
So please enlighten me, how could the Christian Religion (which according to you is synonymous to faith, but that's another story) be present in ALL DENOMINATION who does not agree with each other?
REOJIE SAYS: Many people still misinterprets the word "born again" as a denomination
BIBLE SAYS: Truly truly I say unto you, unless a man is born anew (again) he could not see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus asked, how can I be born anew? Jesus said. Unless one is BORN OF WATER and the spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.John 3:3-5
Now let me ask you sir, when Jesus said "born of water" was he referring to Baptism? If not, tell what does "born of water" means. Obviously, your answer must be YES (I mean really now, would it mean something else?). So when you claimed that Manny is now BORN AGAIN, it MUST FOLLOW that he has just been baptized. What baptism are you referring to? Are you referring to his Catholic Baptism? If that is what you are referring to, then Manny Pacquiao has been BORN AGAIN A LONG TIME AGO! Obviously you are not referring to that. You are referring to a NON CATHOLIC BAPTISM. Making your statement refute itself. It is as clear as daylight that for you to become BORN AGAIN you should be changing your denomination, in this case LEAVING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. (honestly, I hate categorizing the Catholic Church as a "denomination"). Let me ask you and I hope you could answer with all honesty. Since now (according to you) Manny is now Born Again could he still believe that the Virgin Mary could pray for him and is a powerful intercessor to Christ? Could he still kneel during Consecration believing that the communion wafer is THE REAL BODY, BLOOD AND DIVINITY OF CHRIST and NOT A SYMBOL? Could he still keep religious images of Catholic saints in his house and light candles in front of them? Could he still believe that the Pope is the Representative of Christ and the Successor of Peter and that he must be loyal to him? Could he still believe that the priests HAS THE POWER TO FORGIVE SINS? Could he still believe that extra ecclesia nulla salus (outside the Church there is not salvation)? Could he still believe that quicumque vult salvus esse ut teneat Catholicam Fidem (if one wishes to be saved HE MUST KEEP THE CATHOLIC FAITH)? Could he still pray the rosary with it's repetitious Hail Marys? If your answer is no...then that's it, stop the hypocrisy and admit that in order to be born again Manny MUST LEAVE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. If your answer is yes...give me the name of your pastor and I would report you as quickly as possible. =)
How different is the Jesus of the Bible-believing Christians vs the Catholics? Very much. The true Jesus is the one clearly described in the Bible and not on stone or wooden man-made images. The Words of this true Jesus found in the bible is the true Word of life. The miracle of transformation comes from a person receiving rebirth from the Holy Spirit when genuine faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior is found in the heart of a repentant person. By faith he is washed of his sins through the atoning work of Christ alone. He stands justified apart from religion by his faith in Jesus alone. The promised of eternal life is to those who believed in Jesus alone. The Jesus of the Bible who says he is the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except by him alone is the Jesus of the Bible believing Christians. Is this different from the Catholic Jesus? The only heresy is setting aside the commandments of God for the sake of man-made traditions. It is even apostasy to propose other means whereby a person may access God. God's glory is fully displayed in his Son, why add more channels or red tapes to God? All these truths are in the Bible, plain and clear and requires very little interpretation because God made it clear to us so that we may come to Jesus and be saved. So why must we read it with a closed heart and let others interpret it for us? It's like here's your food but let me chew it for you first! I really don't understand why anyone would say read the Bible but try not to understand it? That's duplicitous. What justification the church has now for the murders from the 11th to the 17th century of those people who found the joy of the love of God through the Bible whose only sin was reading it despite the ban by THE CHURCH? Is this Christ's commands when he said know me? How can anyone say they are of God but so adamant to refuse the truth of God and prevent others from enjoying God forever, whereas God is so accessible through Christ? Until the Roman church comes to terms with centuries of departure from the foundations of truth that comes from the pages of the Bible, and sees itself upholding Biblical truth rather than suppressing it, the Reformation will be the voice in the wilderness crying out to the apostate church, in hope that the conscience will be awaken and people will desire God more than just mere church membership, then the true believers will continue to gather where the glory of God is unveiled and he is worshiped in Spirit and in truth. Why then the fear when someone read the Bible and found out the true way of salvation that will inevitably lead them to leave the Roman church? Isn't it always the case? Because after reading the true Scripture and pondering it to the heart one will easily see that the Roman Jesus is a different Jesus whom the faithful will does not recognize and they will inevitably come over to the Jesus of the Bible, the Lamb of God who is in heaven now who himself is interceding for the saints on earth and will soon come again and overthrow all falsehood and smite the earth in judgment for all of those who suppress the truth and exchanged it for a lie. Romans 1:16-32. Read your Bibles and ponder upon it. Pacquiao is moving closer to the light of the world. This is a good thing. God is pleased. For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who thirst and hunger for righteousness. Jesus is his only hope from his wretched sins, not even his church membership can save him from that. Therefore do not put stumbling blocks along his way if anyone say they are of God.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Theophilus, tell me, how did we EVEN GET THE BIBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
DeleteAnd may I comment on what you wrote: "Jesus is his only hope from his wretched sins, not even his church membership can save him from that. "
So, Manny Pacquiao does not even need to be a member of that DAMN BORN-AGAIN CHURCH who is only after Manny Pacquiao's money and not the salvation of his soul.
Just using your own reasoning.
Ahehehehe, enter to the rescue naman agad etong si Theophilus para sa kanyang mga Protestant brothers. Theophilus your post JUST SMACKED the post of your fellow protestant Reojie. For Reojie, you can still be a Christian even if you are Catholic. Your very loooooong discourse obviously says NO. As the words of our Lord said, a house divided upon itself WILL NEVER STAND.
DeleteTheophilus says" Read my Bible and ponder about it....
DeleteI already had brother. And it says two important things.
First, that I was redeemed through Jesus' blood.
In Him we have redemption, through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses. Ephesians 1:7
Second, that this Precious Blood was spilled for a church, God's church. Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you guardians, the church of the Lord, which he obtained through his blood. Acts 20:28.
So my next question is, WHICH CHURCH? That is where history creeps in. And my dear Theophilus, I bet you will not like what you will learn.

ReplyDeleteAko po ay dating katoliko pero sa buong buhay ko ay hindi ako nakapagbasa ng bibliya...naging drug user ako at nasira ang buhay ko pati ang pag-aaral ko. Subalit minsan ay binasa ko ang bibliya at kumilos ang Diyos sa akin buhay. Binago Niya ako at ako'y nag-aattend na sa Born Again at hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko ito pinagsisihan dahil nakilala ko ang tunay na Diyos ng bibliya. Wala pong relihiyon ang makakapaglitas sa atin gaya ng katoliko, iglesya ni Kristo at iba pa kundi ang ating pananampalataya kay Kristo. Kapag sumampalataya tayo kay Kristo ay kasunod nito ay pagsunod sa mga aral ng bibliya. I'm sorry to say po Kadong na faith ninyo sa black nazarene ay hindi ito ang tunay na Jesus na itinuro ng bibliya...galit ang Diyos at ayaw niya ang mga rebulto (magbasa po kayo ng bibliya). May nagsabi din na ang itinatag ni Kristo sa ibabaw ng Bato na Iglesiya ay ang katoliko...mali po ito dahil ang Iglesiya po na sinasabi ng bibliya ay mga tao na sumampalataya kay Kristo, sila ang bumubuo ng Iglesiya. Huwag po sana tayong maging relihiyoso o die hard sa ating relihiyon dahil wala dito ang ating kaligtasan kundi na kay Kristo lamang. Salamat po!
ReplyDeletebinagoNiyako, I thank God first of all that he changed you, he stopped you from being a drunkard. But what surprised me is your wrong view of what the Bible really is.
DeleteAsk your pastor how the Bible came to be.
Frankly, you are using the Book that the Catholic Church gave to the world.
Your pastor just picked up a Bible and began to claim that he teaches the right thing. Christ did not intend it to be as He said "Go into the whole world and PREACH the Gospel to all nations baptizing them in the name of the FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT."
Did you pastor obey the commands of Christ in the Bible of baptizing you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit?
Then your church itself is the first one to violate what Christ commanded. Christ did not intend his Church to be fragmented. He founded only one Church which He left to the care of Peter and his successors the Popes when He said "I give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven...Feed my sheep, feed my lamb." He did not even write the Bible nor did He command His apostles to write the Bible. Did He even say that we follow the Bible? Where is that in the Bible?
I hope your way back home binagoNiyako. You are a lost sheep that the Good Shepherd wants to bring back home.
REBULTO NA NAMAN. MY OH MY. wala na bang masasabi ang mga protestante sa aming mga katoliko kundi ito age old very very very very very very old na isyo regarding rebulto. haaaaaaaaaaaayzzzzzzt.
DeletePinoy Catholic...im sorry to say pero ang ipinaglalaban nyo ay doktrina ng katoliko kaya hindi po tayo magkakasundo niyan. Basta ang paniniwala ko po ay nasa bibliya at hindi sa isang doktrina ng isang simbahan. God bless u po!
ReplyDeleteWhen you talk about salvation and about the Bible, you are talking about doctrine my friend. And please be reminded that the Holy Bible came from a Church, which is called the Catholic Church, the only church founded by Jesus Christ, with an unbroken line from Peter and the Apostles until today with Benedict XVI shepherding.
DeleteI will pray for your way back home.
Uhm binagoniyako, sabi mo ang mas pinaniniwalaan mo ngayon eh ang doktrina ng bibliya. Pero sa dalawang post mo, di ka naman nagsisite ng verse sa bibliya. Sir TPC i thought the Protestants pride themselves of using the Bible and the Bible alone to support their beliefs and yet we have here protestants who haven't site a single verse in the Bible. Hay. They said that we need to follow the Bible, the Bible tells them to go to a church. And for them the Bible and the Church are at odds with each other. Weird weird protestants.
