Pag-isipan, basahin, pakinggan yung hindi gusto, hindi madali at hindi karaniwang mga paksa.
Pag lang yung gusto mong paksa ang laging pagtutuunan ng pansin,
makukulong ka sa limitadong paksa.
Hindi lalawak ang isip.
Q - Ang hirap pong kontrolin ang galit na nasa isip / puso. How can I control my anger which is really mental / emotional / spiritual?
A -
Break its cycle. Mental anger becomes physical.
If you can't easily control your mental anger, begin your control project with the physical.
MAKE YOUR BODY DO UN-ANGRY ACTIONS like SMILE, SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS, laugh, ETC.
Susunod ang mind mo!
Q - Hindi daw po Christian ang pagpapa-tattoo?
A-
Saan daw based yun?
Q-
Cain daw po, itinatak daw po un after na patayin niya si Abel?
A -
Para nga protection nya!!!
So blessing yun!
At sino ang maysabi na tatoo yun?
Tinatooan ng Diyos si Cain???
IF yes, eh di protection pa nga yung tatoo? And God-made??
(Hindi sinabi ng Tito na protection ang tatoo ha! Na gawa ito ng Dios! Reaction yan sa argument nung contra sa tatoo)
Q - Tito, we observed po sa NIV may omitted na words like Acts 9:6. We used diff versions, NIV ung sakin. Bakit po may mga ino omit na words which are important to our studies?
Akala ko pa naman ok ang NIV
😕.A -
Not omited! Hindi nilagay ng niv kasi wala yung words sa most ancient / oldest manuscripts. It is possible that instead of niv omitting words ay case yan ng other versions ADDING those words na wala sa oldest sources. Nadagdag lang over time at lumabas sa newer documents?
Q- pag nagpilgrimage po ba sa Jerusalem, ang mga mapupuntahang buildings ay yun talagang mga buildings nung panahon ni Jesus? Ka-bless naman!
A -
NO, pamangkin!!!
Jerusalem was totally, completely destroyed by the Romans in AD 70. Walang natira kundi konting bato/bahagi ng pader. Jesus even prophesied that total destruction!
The Jews were driven away from Palestine. Modern Israel only became a nation in 1947. The Ottoman Empire / Turks occupied most of Palestine in the 1500’s and built most of what is in “old Jerusalem” right now, including the walls, gates, infrastructure and roads! Wala ni isa sa old buildings na nakatayo ngayon sa “old” / 15th Century Jerusalem na pinupuntahan ng pilgrims ngayon ang nakatayo noong panahon ni Jesus!! Pilgrimage Tourism ek ek lang yun!! Although there are some buidings that were built before the 15th Century but centuries AFTER Jesus!
(Posibleng wala ni isang gusali sa Jerusalem na pinupuntahan ng pilgrims ngayon ang nakatayo nung panahon ni Jesus. “Old Jerusalem” as it stands now was mostly built by the Ottomam Empire in the 15th Century, on the site of the much older city that was totally destroyed by the Romans in AD 70)
Q – According to the New Testament, does God have any favorite race or nation?

Q - Bakit pa kaya may mga bansa na sobrang higpit against the practice of Christianity in their countries? Of the devil po ba sila?
A -
Malamang na ang primary reason nila sa paghihigpit, aside form religious, ay political / economic or nationalistic reasons.
Religions that come from outside the country tend to
1. Teach the citizens of that country to have loyalty to foreign persons /institutions.
2. Consequently collect money from the mission field to the sending country.
Hindi napapansin ng zealous religious people that their religion could undermine a mission-field country's
- culture.
- politics.
- identity and sovereignty

Q - Bakit po hindi na kayo madalas mag-guest sa mga tv talk /interview shows tulad noong dati?
A -
Usually very FRUSTRATING
magpa-interview o mag-guest sa TV o sa radio.
Maraming "media" talk show hosts ay medya-medya, hindi marunong mag- interview!!!
Walang kaalam-alam! O kaya nakikipag-contest sa guest.
Puro daldal, at yung "ideas" nya ang ibinabalandra samantalang ikaw ang interviewee!
At marami sa kanila, walang preparation.
Walang research tungkol sa topic o sa tungkol sa guest.
So yung "interview" nyo ang nagiging parang initial research in preparation for THE interview.
O kaya, may preparation ng host at pilit nyang ipaparada ang kanyang "karunungan" at the expense of the guest.
Tapos, matapos mong mag-ubos ng oras pumunta sa station nila,
ang iksi ng oras ng tunay na talk! Dekorasyon ka lang. Parang deodorant or cosmetic. Sayang.
And for all your effort, bibigyan ka ng isang mini basket ng promo products ng sponsors nila
habang yung mga magagaling na hosts ay binabayaran ng malaki!??
Naku!
Kanila na lang ang mga interview-interview nila.

Q - Di po ba dapat pakasalan ni lalake si babae pag nabuntis nya? Pag buntis na, ang hirap pong maghabol sa lalaki para hingan ng kasal!
A - Mas dapat na humingi muna si babae ng kasal BAGO tumihaya. Para pag nabuntis sya, di na kailangang maghabol pa.
Q - Ay! Wala pong lalaking papayag?! Hindi naman po sila ganung ka-serious agad para magpakasal na.
A - Di pala serious, eh bakit ka titihaya, babae? Tapos, maghahabol ka ng kasal kung kelan nakalunok ka na ng pakwan? Sorry na lang kaya.
Dapat talaga, panagutan yan ni lalake. Pero maraming dapat ang hindi nangyayari sa mundong ibabaw. Kaya kipit-kipit na lang pag may taym.

Q - Kinausap po ako ng church leaders.
Magbago daw po ako kasi sobra akong makatawa. Bawasan ko raw po kasi napagtsitsimisan na raw ako ng mga conservative at dahil sa akin ay nagkakasala ang marami?
Sobra po nilang pinahahalagahan yng panlabas na kilos, anyo, kasuotan at ang gusto nila yung para kang manekin, walang kibo, laging kimi at opo lang ng opo.
Gusto ko na po talagang umalis sa church na ito kasi lahat po ng tungkol sa pagkatao ko ay pinakikialaman at gustong baguhin.
Di po ba acceptance ang turo ni Jesus?
Bakit dito po, rejection ang nararamdaman ko?
A -
Go pamangkin!
Now na!

Q - Ang spiritual community po na naaniban ko ay hindi pala loving,
In fact, mabagsik, controlling, self-righteous, judgmental and even unkind to sinners or members who fail. Hindi po ako makaalis kasi
ito raw pong group namin ang totoo, tama at tunay na church ni Christ at kami lang daw po ang tunay na maliligtas?
A -
Sabi mo
mabagsik, controlling, self-righteous, judgmental and unkind
tapos
NANINIWALA KA NA tama, totoo, tunay na church of Jesus yan?
Eh kabaligtaran ni Jesus ang mga sinabi mo.
At kung totoong sila/ kayo lang ang ligtas,
YAN BANG MGA GANYANG RELIHIYOSO ang gusto mong makasama sa eternity?

Q - Tito pagkagwapo-gwapo po ng bagong transfer na guy sa church namin. Natauhan po at na-electrify halos lahat ng kababaihan, pati na yung mga super conservative kuno na mga old maids.
May ganun po palang kagwapong lalaki. Lahat po yata kami sa church ay lihim na naghahangad sa kanya. Ano po ang gagawin ko para mapansin nya???
A -
Wala.
Manahimik ka.
Kung mapapansin ka nya, mapapansin ka.
In fact, sa di mo pagkandarapa sa kanya ay baka dun ka pa mapansin.

Q – Are present-day “Jews” exactly the same people as the Old Testament “Israelites”?
A –
NO, present-day Jews are NOT the same people as the OT “Israelites”.
Most of the people of modern-day Israel originated from Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe. They crossed not the Jordan River but the River Volga.
The ancient “Israel” nation was composed of 12 tribes, and by 722 BCE , ten of those tribes (the Northern Kingdom known as Israel) disappeared forever when Assyria invaded Israel. Only the Southern Kingdom composed of Benjamin and Judah were left. (So, wala nang Israelites ngayon, only "Jews". Although mayrong modern country called Israel, it doesn't automatically mean na sila ay descendants ng sinaunang Israelites.)

In 587 BCE Judah was conquered and taken to captivity for almost 50 years (587-539 BCE) by Babylon.
It was in the Babylonian exile of the Tribe of Judah that Judaism was developed into the formal religion that it would be known for long.
That form of religion was most probably unknown to or at least not the same as the form of religion practiced by the 10 tribes of Israel that vanished. When Jesus says "I came to fulfil the Law, he very probably refers to THE law practiced by the original Israelites who vanished, and not exactly the same Law enforced during his time. That is why while he says he fulfils the Law (the old, original one), he actually breaks many of the Laws (the ones in force during his time) and teaches an altogether different Law: Love. It could be that even the Jews of Jesus' time were already very different from the original Israelites who vanished much earlier. In fact, the Herodian kings were not even Israelites but foreigners /Idumeans, and so were most of the rulers and upper classes.In much the same way today, many people we think to be Israelites are actually not of the original Israelite race (since those people vanished) but present-day Jews.
After the Babylonian captivity,
tt was only the remnants of the tribe of Judah that returned to Jerusalem in 539 BCE.
This group of people returned as Jews, not exactly the same people called Israelites much earlier.

Then consider the historical fact that immediately after AD 70, the Jews were expelled from the land. They dispersed and lived among many peoples until the nation of ‘Israel” was created with intervention of the United Nations in 1948
and many Jews from all over began living in the present-day Israel.
Were the people who came starting in the 1940’s the same as those who were expelled in AD 70?
Dr R. Arevalo, Bible scholar, linguist and translator, a theologian and Bible seminary professor says this about the terminologies “Israelite” and “Jew”.

Dr R. Arevalo, Bible scholar, linguist and translator, a theologian and Bible seminary professor says this about the terminologies “Israelite” and “Jew”.
"There is subtle manipulation of the biblical texts in order to suit the highly questionable use of proof texting in the translation of seemingly innocent words such as Israel, Judah and Jews in the English translations of the Bible. The article titled The Myth of Judeo-Christian Tradition published by New Dawn Magazine exposes this scheme, "
'Few Christians are aware that the translators of Scripture often mistranslated the word "Jew" from such words as "Ioudaioi" (meaning from, or being of: as a geographic area, Judean). The word Judean, mistranslated as "Jew" in the New Testament, never possessed a valid religious connotation, but was simply used to identify members of the native population of the geographic area known as Judea.
Also it is important to understand that in the Scriptures, the terms "Israel", "Judah" and "Jew" are not synonymous, nor is the “House of Israel” synonymous with the “House of Judah”. The course of history is widely divergent for the peoples properly classified under each of these titles. Accordingly, the authoritative 1980 Jewish Almanac says, "Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew.'
"So, it could be incorrect to think that the present-day “Jew” is the same as the ancient 'Israelite'".
