Helow Fr. Abe! Goodmorning po!
Fr. is it contradictory to the character of a Filipino citizen as being a Hospitable not to accept in your house the person who visit claiming as 'christian' whose purpose is to proclaim the gospel of the Lord? some will give u a magazine of their church butlater on asking u even small amount of '20 pesos lng daw po'.hehehe...
yong ibang kapit bahay kasi Fr. na ngungunsyensya bakit daw di papasukin e maganda nman daw intensyon nila.hehehe
Tnx po Fr.Abe! Good day!

Dear Janesa,
Hospitality does not mean stupidity.
We already know that these Born Again are coming to our houses not to bring us grace but to spread their poison of heresies and newly invented religions. Yes, we Filipinos are hospitable but we must not allow heretics into our home. Serpents are not being given hospitalities; they must be crushed right on the head.
It is not true that their purpose is to proclaim the Gospel of the Lord. Because before they came the Gospel is already proclaimed in our houses. In fact they are the ones who are in need of the true Gospel because they are heretics. And they are spiritually dangerous because they are poisonous. They are trained to attack our Catholic Faith. Thus, we are training people with Catholic Apologetics so that our faithful can answer and refute them and in turn demand them to explain their newly invented church, fellowships and faith Biblically.
That Magazine selling is too hypocritical on their part. They received money for those magazines funded by Anti-Catholics from the United States then they will still solicit from Catholics so that they can attack our Church and the Blessed Mother all the more. We must not armed our enemies.
Remember na yang small amount na yan, P20.00, o mas higit pa ay marami rin pagna-ipon. Yan ang gagamitin nila sa kanilang kasamaan.
Yung pangununsensiya ng Kapitbahay e hindi dapat pansinin. Kung sila ay Baptists o Born Again siempre may hidden agenda sila. Gusto nilang maloko ang mga Catolico para sumanib sa kanila. Gusto nilang mang-kwarta para siraan tayo o dili kaya para may pampakain ang Pastor sa pamilya nya. Kung mga Catolico naman, ibig sabihin mga uto-uto ang mga yan. Hindi nila makita ang tunay na intensiyon... ang maitim na balakin ng mga dumadalaw sa kanilang mga Baptists o Born Again para hasikan sila ng kadiliman.
You are welcome Janesa. God bless you always.

Thank you Fr. I agree completely - not that we aren't to treat Protestants with love but we should not aid their attempts to spread false doctrines in any way.
ReplyDeleteIt always aggravates me when I hear American "missionaries" going to the Philippines to spread the gospel. The Philippines is more Christian than America! If anything, America needs Filipinos to come here and spread the gospel!
Thank you Brother.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Protestant U.S. is more pagan and unchristian than the Philippines. They have ABORTIONS, CONTRACEPTIONS, SAME SEX MARRIAGE, LEGALIZED PORNOGRAPHY, GAMBLINGS AND CASINOS... They are worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. Even our vices came from them. When the Philippines was under the CAtholic domination only Sabong serves as national vice. With the American comes a lot of Vices and Immoralities.
Giving money to these fake christians is like giving money to the Talibans. The Talibans will blow your body but the Baptists and the Born Again will flow the True Christian Faith out of your soul.
Personally, I believe it's only the Catholic faith that keeps the American nation from falling apart.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Bro. Tito.
ReplyDeleteThe Born Again and the Protestants have allowed the American wombs to be penetrated by Abortions' cervical instruments, their bodies to be poisoned by Abortifacients Contraceptives, they sacrileged their houses of worships with Same-Sex Marriages, they destroyed their families with Divorces... Just imagine, the wife of your neighbor today could be your wife tomorrow.
Their girls are loosing their virginities at very early age. Go to their High School campuses, students are snogging even on hallways.
THESE THINGS ARE SCANDALOUS TO THE FILIPINO CATHOLIC CULTURE... AND TO ORIENTALS IN GENERAL. Yet the are gradually exporting their Sins and Immoralities in our country together with their Heresies. And what is so shameless of them is that they have an attitude of 'holier than thou' against the Catholics.
At the forefront of the Pro-Life Movement and oppositions to these degradation of Christia and Human Values is the Catholic Church led by the Pope and the Bishops and the Religious. That is why they are so angry at us... We want to stop and we are opposing their FEAST OF THE FLESH.
my son allows jehovah witnesses , born again etc... to enter our house. but, it's always the other way around ang nangyayari. at first they do the talking, explaining what the bible says according sa paniniwala nila. then my son will innocently be asking questions that will put them into confusions.hehe those born again, saksi... will make a graceful exit. my son will be inviting them to come over again.. but they never did...
ReplyDeleteWow. Please introduce your son to us so that he can help us how to combat the JW and Born Again heretics.
ReplyDeleteFr. Abe meron pa aside from giving money to them.. yung ibang Pastor dyan, binibili ng armas ang mga donasyon/tithings/abuloy sa mga KULTO nila.. Dami dito sa Pilipinas!! Lalo na yung taga diliman. may nagsabi sakin member pa nila sa CENTRAL Bank nila ginagawang armory.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI also tried it... I let one JW into our house and before she open her lips I asked questions about the New word translation and so on... Then her Pastor came to rescue...Then both of them left with admiration. They said "It is not true that Catholic did not read their Bibles..."
After two days the woman I talk to, went AWOL in their church....I hope my words kept her back to the true Church.
Wonderful job Bro. Gallardo. Thank you and Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteLet us pray that your words of wisdom penetrate the heart and mind of that woman.
Maraming nagasabi din sa akin nyan. Obvious naman na ang Central ng Iglesia Manolista ay napapalibutan ng armed guards. In fact, nuon ngang panahon ng Martial Law nakipag barilan pa sila sa mga police at military. That was reported in major newspapers.
ReplyDeleteI was also told that Eraneo Manalo was buying the arms himself. But of course, it is a second hand source. We don't know if it is really true.
Ako naman po, Padre, mas gusto ko pinupuntahan ako sa bahay para maaralan ko sila. Ang kaso, pag binulatlatan mo na ng Biblia, mabilis pa sa alas-singko tumakbo. Takot pala sa Biblia ang mga iyan. Akala ko ba, Biblical sila. Eh pag tinalataan mo natutuliro. Ang paplastic. Gusto lang nila sila ang magsasalita. Aba, mali iyon. Sila ang pumasok sa bahay ko ako ang dapat masunod. Puwes, makinig sila sa dalisay na aral. Hindi iyong nagkukumahog at nagkakandarapa sa pag-ariba papalabas ng bahay. Eh kung mahulog sa hagdan, kasalanan ko pa?
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha... mataas pa naman ang hagdan sa bahay mo Bro. Mars. Masama talaga ang magiging tama nila kapag nahulog duon. ha, ha, ha...
ReplyDeletefather abe, pano po ba maging member ng catholic faith defender? college graduate lang po ba ang tinatanggap nyo? nong nasa cebu pa po ako ay dumadalo po ako lagi sa mga meetings ng cfd sa university of san jose recoletos/parish kaso nag transfer na po kami ng residency dito sa probinsya ng misamis oriental, malayo po ako sa cagayan de oro. lahat ng mga tinuturo ni brod. soc ay lagi ko sinasapuso at lagi kong sineshare sa mga protestante pero minsan nasasaktan po ako kasi iniiwasan na nila ako. normal po ba na iiwasan nila ang isang katoliko na nag aaral ng biblia? bat ganun eh bible sharing lang naman ang ginagawa ko? sensya na sa gramar ko father, cebuano po kasi ako, nahihirapan akong magtagalog.
ReplyDeletefather, okey lang po ba na may collection ako ng mga statues of the saints? di ko rin alam kung bakit bigla akong nahilig sa biblia at sa aral katoliko, nong high school pa ako ay ang tanging depensa ko sa aral katoliko laban sa mga protestanteng classmates ko ay tanging bugbogan lang, yun lang kasi ang pinakamadaling magagawa ko. now im 28 at di ko parin alam kung bakit bigla ko naging bisyo ang magbasa ng biblia at idepensa ang iglesia catolica... sensya na sa tagalog kong baloktot.
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE, OK LANG YAN. NO PROBLEM. THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN JERUSALEM WAS FILLED WITH STATUES AND IMAGES.
ReplyDeleteWHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING NOW IS A GIFT FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. ENJOY READING THE BIBLE AND APOLOGETIC MATERIALS SO THAT YOU CAN BE PREPARED TO DEFEND THE CATHOLIC FAITH.
GOD BLESS YOU.
BROTHER ANDEE,
ReplyDeleteANDITO AKO NGAYON SA CEBU AT FOR ONE WEEK I APPEARED ON TV AND RADIO WITH BRO. SOC FERNANDEZ. I ALSO GAVE A TALK SA CFD SESSION. ACTUALLY, I AM NOW THE NATIONAL SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR OF CFD.
MAY CFD SA MIZAMIS ORIENTAL. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER AND I WILL TRY TO CONTACT CFD MIZAMIS ORIENTAL CHAPTER FOR YOU.
8 DEC. 2010
ReplyDeleteGood day Fr. Abe,
Thanks to GOD at ikaw na ang new spiritual director of CFD.
Fr., I would like to ask your opinion regarding Atty. Marcelo Bacalso's stand specially regarding the Church Mass (for him Latin Mass is the correct one). I also heard him over the radio (dyhp) that lay ministers have no right to just even hold the consecrated host.
What is the 'de fide' teaching regarding these things, padre?
In Christ,
jose jeffrey of dammam, saudi arabia
p.s.: if only you have a radio program and linked live in the internet, I would be very glad to hear & see you. thank you again, padre.
[Fr., I would like to ask your opinion regarding Atty. Marcelo Bacalso's stand specially regarding the Church Mass (for him Latin Mass is the correct one).]
ReplyDeleteOBVIOUSLY, ATTY. BACALSO IS WRONG ON THIS ONE.
FIRST, THE USE OF LATIN IN THE MASS IS NOT A DOGMA OF THE CHURCH. IT IS JUST A PASTORAL MATTER. THEREFORE IT CAN BE CHANGED.
SECOND, THE LORD JESUS DIDN'T SAY THE FIRST MASS IN LATIN BUT IN ARAMAIC AND HEBREW.
THIRD, THE EARLY CHRISTIANS FROM THE FIRST CENTURY UP TO THE THIRD CENTURY WERE CELEBRATING THE MASS IN GREEK. EVEN THE EARLIEST ACCOUNTS OF THE MASS ARE WRITTEN IN GREEK... IN THE NEW TESTAMENT TEXTS.
FOURTH, IT IS A STUPID CLAIM THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS EXCLUSIVELY USING LATIN FOR THE MASS BEFORE VATICAN COUNCIL. BECAUSE THE LATIN RITE IS ONLY ONE OF MANY RITES OF THE MASS IN THE RCC. THERE IS A GREEK RITE, MARONITE RITE, SYRO-MALABAR RITE, UKRAINIAN RITE, ETC. ALL OF THESE ARE VALID CENTURIES BEFORE VATICAN II.
FIFTH, THE CHURCH HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE TO BE USED FOR THE LITURGY. THE POWER TO BIND AND LOOSE GIVEN TO ST. PETER IN MATTHEW 16:18-19 IS PRESENT IN THE SUCCESSOR OF PETER.
[I also heard him over the radio (dyhp) that lay ministers have no right to just even hold the consecrated host.]
THOSE WHO ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO TOUCH THE HOSTS HAVE NO RIGHT TO TOUCH THEM. BUT, THE POWER OF AUTHORIZATION [MT 16:18-19] BELONGS TO THE POPE. SO HE CAN GRANT MINISTERIAL STATUS TO LAY MINISTERS. JUST LIKE THE PRIESTS, PREVIOUSLY WE WERE ORDINARY LAY PEOPLE BUT WHEN WE WERE ORDAINED WE BECOME AUTHORIZED TO SAY THE MASS. THE LAY MINISTERS ARE AUTHORIZED TO DISTRIBUTE HOLY COMMUNION.
THE QUESTION HERE IS 'AUTHORITY'. ATTY. BACALSO REJECTS THE AUTHORITY OF THE CHURCH. I PITY HIM.
[What is the 'de fide' teaching regarding these things, padre?]
I THINK THIS IS ANSWERED ABOVE.
Father may tanong lang po ako may iba po naniniwala sa rapture, 7 years tribulation and Christ's millennial reign. Pinaninindigan po ba ng Biblia ito? Nalilito lang po ako tulungan nyo lang po akong sagutin ang mga taong naniniwala dito. More power at sana gamitin pa po ito ni Jesus upang klaruhin ang turo ng Kanyang iglesia na hindi matatalo ng kapangyarihan ng impierno (Mateo 16:18).
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Father! May tanong lang po ako, masama ba po kantahin yung kinakanta ng mga Sabadista at mga Saksi na "He is Jehovah". Gustong-gusto ko po kantahin yung praise worship na iyon. Thank you and God bless!
ReplyDeleteDear Juan Carlo,
ReplyDeletePlease show me the lyrics.
JUAN CARLO,
ReplyDeleteTHERE IS NO RAPTURE IN THE BIBLE. THE ONLY DOCTRINE THAT WE ACCEPT IS THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST WHEN HE COMES AGAIN IN GLORY TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. THE OTHERS ARE MERE INVENTION BY THE BORN AGAIN.
Eto po yung lyrics po Father
ReplyDeleteHe is Jehovah:
He is Jehovah, God of Creation
He is Jehovah, Lord God Almighty
The Balm of Gilead, the Rock of Ages
He is Jehovah the God that healeth thee
He is the Great I Am, the God of Abraham
Jehovah Shalom the God of Peace I Am
the God of Israel, The Everlasting One
He is Jehovah, the God that healeth thee
Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah!
He is Jehovah, Lord God Almighty
He is Jehovah, the God that healeth thee
He's your Provider, Jehovah-Jireh
God of Salvation, God of Messiah
The Son he sent to you and testified of Him
He is Jehovah the God that healeth thee
Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah!
He is Jehovah, Lord God Almighty
He is Jehovah, the God that healeth thee
Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah!
He is Jehovah, Lord God Almighty
He is Jehovah the God that healeth thee!
He is Jehovah, the God that healeth thee!
WELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAITH IN THAT SONG BASED ON THE LYRICS. BUT, BEAR IN MIND THAT THE REAL NAME OF GOD IS YAHWEH NOT JEHOVAH. THE CORRECT PRONOUNCIATION OF TETRAGRAMATON IS YAHWEH.
