"If a man would follow today the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal.
If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane." - - - Robert G. Ingersoll
Well, listen to Jesus who declared in the New Testament, that:" I AND MY FATHER ARE
ONE." - - - John 10:30
Now listen to God, the the Father of Jesus, in the Old Testament, who declared: "I FORM THE LIGHT AND CREATE DARKNESS; I MAKE PEACE AND CREATE EVIL; I THE LORDDO THESE THINGS." - - - ISAIAH 45:7
Here's more from Jesus: "IF ANY MAN COME TO ME AND HATE NOT HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHER AND SISTERS, AND YEA, HIS OWN LIFE ALSO, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE." - - - LUKE 14:26
Well, here's more that Sweet Jesus, the Savior of Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century: "THINK NOT THAT I HAVE COME TO SENDPEACE ON EARTH; I CAME NOT TO SEND PEACE BUT A SWORD. FOR I HAVE COME TO SET A MAN AT VARIANCE AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER; AND DAUGHTER IN LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER IN LAW; AND A MAN'S FOE SHALL BE THEY OF HIS OWN HOUEHOLD; HE THAT LOVETH FATHER OR MOTHER MORE THAN ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME; AND HE THAT TAKETH NOT HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOW AFTER ME, IS NOT WORTHY OF ME." - - - MATT. 10:34-38
Here's my favorite from Jesus: "BUT THOSE MINE ENEMIES. WHICH WOULD NOT THAT I SHOULD REIGN OVER THEM, BRING HITHER, AND SLAY THEM BEFORE ME." - - - LUKE 19:27
I said it before, I say it again: One of the reason why we Filipinos are famous throughout the world as the Sick Man of Asia, it is simply because of our sick values and sick beliefs as taught to us by our Catholic system of education. Such historical horrors keep us spiritually ill as a people and morally sick as a nation.--- Poch Suzara
