Is this a different Bible from the rest? Certainly not. This has a foreword by Most Rev. Arturo M. Bastes, SVD, DD, presently Bishop of Sorsogon and also the Chairman of the Episcopal Commission for the Biblical Apostolate (ECBA). Why then has it a message of unity to our world? It is because God's message or words are messages communicating love and peace. An ancient Latin dictum says this: Ideae regunt mundum (translated: it is ideas that rule the world).
The ideas of God in the Bible, especially of His beloved Son Jesus Christ are words of love, humility and goodness. In fact, in 1 Cor. 13:1-13, we cn find a summary of what defines love. Is there a stronger unifying factor than love? The Bible answers man's endless search for understanding, unity and peace. For this one needs to be a humble believer in love and in Him who is love in person, Jesus Christ.
"If I could speak all the tongues of men and of angels, but were given no love, I would only be sounding brass or clanging cymbals. If I had prophecy, knowing secret things with all kinds of knowledge, and faith great enough to remove mountains, but had no love, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I had to the poor, and even gave up my own body, but only to receive praise and not through love, it would be of no value to me. Love is patient, kind, without envy. It is not boastful or arrogant. It is not ill-mannered nor does it seek its own interest. Love withstands anger and forgets offenses. It does not take delight in wrong, but rejoices with the truth. Love excuses everything, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
"Love will never end. Prophecies may cease, tongues be silent and knowledge disappear. For knowledge grasps the truth imperfectly and prophecy as well. And when what is perfect comes, everything imperfect will pass away. When I was a child I thought and reasoned like a child, but when I grew up, I gave up childish ways. LIkewise, at present, we see dimly as in a faulty mirror, but then we shall see face to face. Now, we know in part, but then I will know Him as He knows me. Now we have faith, hope and love, these three, but the greatest of these is love" (1 Cor. 13:1-13).
Good evening Father Alo, peace be with you. This message is the perfect message that I have been sharing with the Church in the Philippines. Today, Sept. 21, exactly 37 yrs ago my life was never exposed to the church but I have compilation of my messages and letters sent to my cousin Fr. Victor R. Salanga, SJ for safe keeping until the right time comes. Father I have blogs at http://luzvimindarp.blogspot.com that will substantiate my claim and I really would like to see the realization of this promise that God has told me.
ReplyDelete37 yrs ago, this same day, ginising ako ni Lord at sinabing isulat ang mensahe at dalhin kay Pres. Marcos. Lahat po nang nakalagay duon ay nangyari sa ating bayang Pilipinas at ngayon ay nasa last part na po ako ng prophecy na iyon. Gusto ko po ibahagi ang pangako ko kay Lord bilang pagsunod sa utos Niya. Alam ko na sa ginawa ko na iyon ay makukulong ako, at natupad po iyon sa loob ng Crame 0ct. 31, 1972 until Jan. of 1973. At sinabi ko na balang araw kapag ang mga pilipino ay pinapatay na parang mga hayop, walang pakialamanan sa isat-isa, kapag ang sistema sa gobyerno ay talamak na ay darating ako para iligtas ang bayan. At ipakikilala ko sa kanila ang Diyos ang kanyang mga utos sa taong bayan at kung kailangang i-alay ko ang buhay ko para sa kaligtasan nito ay nakahanda pa rin akong ibigay gaya ng ginawa ni Rizal. Galing sa mahirap at hindi kilala ngunit ang isang bagay lang na magpapakilala sa akin ay ang kalikasan na gawa at nilikha ng Diyos at ang kanyang Salita.
Ngayong araw ay nais ko na ipa-alam sa inyo, sa simbahang katoliko dito sa Pilipinas na aking kukunin ang pangako ng Diyos na "Divine Miracle" at muli ay gusto ko na ipa-alam ang aking pagsali sa halalan bilang Pangulo ng Bayan. Aking kinukuha ang salita ng pinuno ng simbahang katoliko ng Pilipinas na susuportahan nila ang kandidato na Maka-Diyos, Makabayan at Makatao, hindi gumagamit ng guns, goons at gold.
Marahil magtataka kayo kung bakit nandito ako sa Cebu at wala sa bayan ng San Juan na aking kinalakihan...yon ay sa kadahilanang ang nawawalang titik na VI sa aking pangalan ay aking gaganapin. Ang VI ay ang mensahe ng Anghel sa Church in Philadelphia at ang VI or Visayas ay isang dialect at hindi probinsya. Ito ay lenguwahe na sinasabi. Sana husgahan ako ng simbahan at bayan sa pamamagitan ng aking pananampalataya at gawa at hindi sa dahilang "hindi ako kilala, hindi sikat, at walang pera.
Ihihingi ko rin ng permiso ang paghingi ko ng donasyon na "Piso para sa Malayang Pilipino" kasama ng bawat piso na ibibigay ng mga pilipinoay hahatiin ko sa tatlong bahagi, 30 centavos para sa Comelec funds, 35 centavos para sa tulong ko ng BEC kung saan isa akong membro at ang isang 35 centavos ay para sa PREX Movement kung saan ako aktibo na nagbabahagi ng aking buhay sa pananampalataya.
Inuna kong ipaalam sa Church of the Philipines "online" dahil gusto ko na ibalik ang tao sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pananampalatayang katoliko at para makilala ng lubos si Kristo. Gusto ko na makita ng mga non-catholics ang tunay na simbahan na ipinakita sa akin ng Diyos sa ngalan ng ispiritu at katotohanan. Sabi ni Lord "no one knows the father except the son...the Father and I are one. God showed me in person the father of the country Jose Rizal, the Lord blessed me because of what I did during the Martial Law proclamation and the sufferings that I have accepted ..He let me experienced The Transfiguration.
Father, I will be waiting for a reply on my wish to join the "Presidential" race this 2010 as a fulfillment of God's promised to me for a "Divine Miracle." My email is pluzminda33@yahoo.com or pluzminda@gmail.com.
Again Thank you for reading my comment. May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us alland heal our land.
In Christ,
