he's our father..

grangerhermione, can you give me a direct quote from the Bible that says this.in full context also, please.

why do we call piolo as papa pj and john lloyd as papa lloydie? I guess its some sort of endearment or respect. No need for a direct quote

carlape: waaaaaaa nxt tym pg nkahanap po ako..(cozy(

so mabieee, whatever I call papa piolo and papa lloydie i can also call Jesus?

and no need for a direct quote? but the Word was God! (check John 1:1)

what you do to your brothers is what you to do him diba?

I guess it doesn't matter what you call Him, as long as we all believe that there is someone above all of us.

Look what happened to us in a blink of an eye pwedeng mawala sa atin ang lahat, pwede tayong kunin ng ganun lang .

I'm so sad for the country, and I'm so sad for people who are theologically wrong.Bible misinterpretation really grieves me.

Bible interpretation will depend on how open your mind is, its a lose-lose situation.

What's correct with you may be wrong to others and vice versa. Unless you've been there, no one could really know.

Trust Hime and everything will fall into place.

Jesus is the son...I haven't read any scripture telling Jesus is the Father..

Yes He is the son, some refer to Him as "Papa" to show endearment. Isn't Abraham the father of all nations. So God is the Father of Abraham.

But we call God as Papa God.

But do we call Abraham as Papa Abraham?

let's stick to what the Bible says...that's what matters

andrewryan: hear, hear!

the bible is the word of God and the final authority.don't dwell much opinions let's read the Bible

True let's read the bible but don't stop in reading it. Others boast that they do know a lot of this but they don;t

No one truly knows. Because life is a work in progress. And God is the true teacher, no one could ever beat that

"See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it." (Deuteronomy 12:32)

jeighstar and andrewryan, let's not stop reading the Bible daw...pero so far,lahat ng sinabi niyo nasa Bible...mabieee,wala parin akong-

-mahanap na tulad ng mga sinasabi mo in their full context.You know what?Some people don't know much,but at least,what they know,even -

-if it's just one word,or one book,or one song,they know it CORRECTLY,ACCURATELY,PERFECTLY,BLAMELESSLY.This is not about knowledge or emo-

-tions,opinions and own interpretations,it's about THE WORD OF GOD.We must be careful not to say things that God said.It's holy, it's sacred

-it isn't just any Paolo Coelho stuff that you can paraphrase or misquote.It's the Word of God!!!

A simple research paper teaches one not to say what the quote is actually not saying.What more with the Word of God!It teaches responsible-

-reading AND writing.

Good.

Sana ma-apply naman natin ito sa Salita ng Diyos.And sorry,i meant pala,"LET'S BE CAREFUL IN SAYING THINGS THAT 'GOD SAID'," cause it could

-be just your own reading.I do not claim to know everything.So it goes that I don't quote things that I do not know.But I am sure that Jesus

-is fully God, but not Papa, or The Father.

i also don't like the idea of calling HIM 'bro..'

jeighstar,minsan,ang mga tao kung tawagin si Jesus,parang stuff toy lang for comfort...or parang ka-level ng mga idols nila...or kaibigan-

-na pwedeng isama sa kalokohan.grabe lang talaga.

nakakalungkot nga..

hindi naman isama sa kalokohan, John 15:14-15

" 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.' (Isaiah 6:9)

...make their ears dull and close their "eyes" (Isaiah 6:10)

..but to others I speak in parables, so that, " 'though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.'

(Luke 8:10)

We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses-

of his majesty.(2 Peter 1:16)

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation....

For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.(2Peter1:20-21)

well said pipina. thanks for sharing!

So blessed www.plurk.com/carlape to see you growing in the Lord!

Keep your light shining for His glory!

TAMA Ms. Carla!!! Tama! I'm so encouraged nung nabasa ko how you defended your stand. I couldn't have said it better
