Bakit po kahit pareparehong matalino o mangmang, magkakaiba pa rin ng political or reigious point of view?

Q - Bakit po kahit pareparehong matalino o mangmang, magkakaiba pa rin ng political or reigious point of view?
I mean, may matalino at mangmang na magkasama sa Political/ Religious Choice A at may matalino at mangmang na magkasama sa opposite Choice B? Bakit hindi na lang po magkasama sa iisang choice ang mga matatalino at sa iisang choice ang mga mangmang?
A -
Wala sa katalinuhan o kamangmangan yang religious or political leaning.
Political philosophy or religious belief is usually formed by the natural "shape" / "frame" / disposition of people's inborn brains; not by acquired knowledge.
Yun ang nature ng utak nila ke educated / informed sila or not! :-)
Kaya WALANG MARARATING ANG DEBATES.
Information or persuasion won't / can't change the topography of the inborn brains! :-) Prediposed sila to think a certain way!
*
Psalm 139:13-16 (CEV)
13 You are the one
who put me together
inside my mother’s body,
14 and I praise you
because of
the wonderful way
you created me.
Everything you do is marvelous!
Of this I have no doubt.
15 Nothing about me
is hidden from you!
I was secretly woven together
deep in the earth below,
16 but with your own eyes
you saw
my body being formed.
Even before I was born,
you had written in your book
everything I would do.

ANG GUSTO NG PERA

Proverbs 17:16
Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?
Anong katuturan ng pera kung ang mayhawak ay hindi marunong? Isa sa mga praktikal na bagay that we can learn is not to give money to fools. Pipiliin nyo ang bibigyan nyo ng pera. Bibigyan nyo ba ang marunong o hindi marunong? Baka masayang lang ang pera nyo kung hindi sa marunong ibibigay.
“Anong bibilhin mo, anak? Bread ba? Nakakabusog, nakakapagpatalino, nagbibigay ba ng comfort?”
“Drugs po, Mommy, to get my fix.”

Acts 17:24-25 (NIV)

Any "God" that always asks for money, sacrifice and blind obedience could only be a "god" invented, fashioned and styled by gurus who benefit from the money, sacrifice and blind obedience of misguided and exploited followers.
Acts 17:24-25 (NIV)
24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.

Conservative churches dito sa amin na nagsasabing colorum / illegitimate / kulto raw kami kasi ay wala raw authority na nag-send at nag-ordain sa akin, hindi raw po ako nag-seminary at wala kaming covering ng real church?

Q - Tito I'm the pastor of a small independent church that I started dito sa province. Una po informal Bible study lang ito tapos lumago. Wala pong tumulong sa amin at ako ay nag self-study ng Bible pero educated naman po ako with a secular college degree kay may tools and skills naman akong mag-aral.
Ang problem po, may mga conservative churches dito sa amin na nagsasabing colorum / illegitimate / kulto raw kami kasi ay wala raw authority na nag-send at nag-ordain sa akin, hindi raw po ako nag-seminary at wala kaming covering ng real church? Sila raw ang exclusive holder and guardian of spiritual authority based on their much-emphasized claims which I think is a myth supported by questionable fragments of fantastic "history" (daw).
A -
"You will know them by their fruits," sabi ni Jesus.
Kung Jesus-like ang fruits nyo, eh di church kayo ni Jesus.
John 1:12 (NIV)
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
*
Anak kayo ng Diyos kahit hindi yang namimintas ang midwife!
Yung namimintas sa inyo, ang ibig sabihin lang nila ay
HINDI SILA ang ang "authority" na nag-ordain, nag-train at nag-cover sa inyo, therefore kulto kayo. Kasi akala at gusto nila,
EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE ng congregation nila ang gawain ng Diyos.
Jesus says in
Matthew 18:20 (CEV)
"Whenever two or three of you come together in my name, I am there with you."
*
Whenever and as long as you gather in the Jesus' name to know and worship God through Jesus,
IT IS JESUS WHO CALLS, AUTHORIZES, ORDAINS AND COVERS YOU.
Kahit noon pa, some people like to give to themselves EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE and authority but Jesus would have none of that.
Luke 9:49-50 (NIV)
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is NOT one of us.”
“Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
*
Huwag kang makinig sa mga hindi na nga tutmutulong sa gawain nyo ay naninira pa.
GOD BLESS YOU EVEN MORE!

Mag syota naghiwalay dahil sa magkaibang pananaw politika

Q - Tito nag-split po kami ng BF ko dahil sa politics: magkaiba po kami ng kandidato at nag-away kami to the max!
A -
Pakasalan mo yung binoto mo, at
pakasalan nya yung binoto nya! :-)
But probably, those candidates do not even know that you two exist?

Enrolled po kami sa isang religious school. May isa pong student na malapit ng mag graduate pero natanggal po dahil nagkaron ng sin! Ngayon po lahat kami ay takot na takot magkamali ay madapa dahil matatanggal din kami! Stressed po ang lahat! What's wrong with the world?

Q - Enrolled po kami sa isang religious school. May isa pong student na malapit ng mag graduate pero natanggal po dahil nagkaron ng sin! Ngayon po lahat kami ay takot na takot magkamali ay madapa dahil matatanggal din kami! Stressed po ang lahat! 
What's wrong with the world?
A -
What's wrong is NOT that your fallen classmate is imperfect;
What's wrong is that you all, imperfect as you are, joined a perfectionist system!

Pano po masusunod ang commands sa Bible na "Be holy for I am holy." and "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect." ??? Para pong imposible!

Q - Pano po masusunod ang commands sa Bible na "Be holy for I am holy." and "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect." ??? Para pong imposible! 

The words HOLY and PERFECT must be understood in their original, contextual and functional use. 
As used in Leviticus and in the gospels, they do not mean sinlessness nor moral perfection! 
Holiness in the OT means not being contaminated by what ancient Israelites considered as unclean like unclean foods, objects, diseases, menstruation, etc. Such standards of holiness were time-place-culture and context-bound, meaning hindi universal for all peoples, especially for non-Israelites and not for all times and situations!
Yun namang PERFECTion means loving people, even enemies, as God and Jesus do. Hindi yun tungkol sa sinlessness or moral perfection!

Nakakainis po yung pag kasama mo sa resto at tinanong mo kung ano ang gusto ay ang sagot "Kahit ano." o "Bahala ka na.

Q - Nakakainis po yung pag kasama mo sa resto at tinanong mo kung ano ang gusto ay ang sagot "Kahit ano." o "Bahala ka na."
A -
Baka naman
1. Inaalalayan lang nya ang bulsa mo?
2. Hindi sya marunong o sanay pumili / umorder lalut French ang menu! Baka bulate ang ma-order nya!
3, Inaasahan nya na mas alam mo kung ano ang masarap sa resto na yun?
4. Wala talaga syang maisip na kakainin?
5. Ayaw ka nyang makasalo at wala syang ganang kumain?

Bakit po may mga hindi naniniwala sa Diyos eh obvious namang may Diyos?!

Q- Bakit po may mga hindi naniniwala sa Diyos eh obvious namang may Diyos?!
A -
Baka naman hindi lang sila naniniwala sa supposed IMAGE of God na nilikha / ipino-project ng mga religions? 
Alam no naman, iba-ibang religions, kanya kanyang projection ng image of God na galing o pabor sa kanilang kultura, pangangailangan at mga aspirations. 
There is no doubt that there is God; that God is. What is doubted/ doubtful is the accuracy of the image/ character / personality of God created and promoted by religions that usually serve the interests of their nation and/ or priesthood!

OFW po ako, single. Simut na simot po lagi ang income ko sa dami at dalas ng humihingi. Hindi ko naman po matiis basta may maibibigay ako. Ano po ang magandang gawin para may matira naman sa akin at may maipon ako?

A -
Kumuha ka ng hulugang 
- lupa
- bahay
- condo
- sasakyang pampasada / pang negosyo
- etc, anything pating
para obligado kang magbayad na magiging para mong forced savings!
Mababawasan ang ipamimigay mo
at may dahilan ka para hindi mag-Santa Claus buwan-buwan.

HOW CAN PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLY HUMANS BE HOLY?

Q – “Be holy for I am holy.” – Leviticus 11.44
HOW CAN PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLY HUMANS BE HOLY? 
A – 
The “HOLINESS” meant here is NOT SINLESSNESS / MORAL PERFECTION but STAYING AWAY from people, animals, things or activities that ancient Israelites considered as ritually / clinically / physically UNCLEAN like lepers, pigs, corpses, menstrual blood and other bodily discharges, etc. etc. etc. 
 The complete verse says: Leviticus 11:44 (NIV) I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground. (Nilinaw ang meaning ng “holy”, hindi sinlessness kundi physical na pag- iwas sa mga material things na “marurumi”.)
Pag
- binasa,
- in-interpret at
- ini-apply yung “holy” as moral perfection / sinlessness / complete spiritual cleanliness,
mao-oppress,
mabibigatan,
magi-guilty at
matatakot ka lang lagi kasi IMPOSIBLENG maging actually morally perfect and sinless ang tao, kahit pa nga sya “believer”.
Psalm 103:14 (NIV)
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
*
GOD KNOWS WE CANNOT BE MORALLY / SPIRITUALLY PERFECT.
1 John 1:8-9 (NIV)
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
*
CLAIMS AND PRETENSIONS AT MORAL PERFECTION
 by personal accomplishment ARE ONLY LIES.
MORAL CLEANLINESS IS ACHIEVED when people accept their sinfulness and seek God’s forgiveness and cleansing.
“It is by God’s grace, not by human works so that no one can boast.”

HOW CAN ANYONE BE PERFECT?

Q - Matthew 5.48
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
HOW CAN ANYONE BE PERFECT?
Isn’t this command and expectation undoable and impossible?
A –
“Perfect” here
- does not mean absolute moral sinlessness, but
- means loving people who do not love you back
The complete idea is in these verses:
Matthew 5:43-48 NIV
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?
Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 BE PERFECT THEREFORE AS YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS PERFECT.
• The context / meaning of perfection here is the highest form of human love, that is, love even for enemies.
Jesus illustrates an aspect of God’s perfection: He loves all people, good and bad alike. Therefore, the “PERFECTION” that is commanded IS ABOUT LOVING PEOPLE THAT SAME WAY,
not in being sinless or morally perfect as that is impossible.
