TO BE A CHRISTIAN IS TO LOVE JUSTICE
We cannot avoid speaking out against injustice and corruption. It is precisely because we are sinners who have been forgiven and now follow the God of Justice, that we are to champion justice and fight against injustice.
EVANGELICAL AND CATHOLIC LEADERS IN THE US DENOUNCE MISUSE OF ROMANS 13 BY GOVERNMENT
Please read how the misuse of Romans 13 to justify a policy of the Trump administration was loudly denounced by Christian leaders, including by Trump’s conservative evangelical supporters.
ANG MGA RELIGIOUS LEADERS NA GINAGAMIT ANG ROMANS 13:1-2 PARA PIGILAN ANG LAHAT NG PAGPUNA SA KASAMAAN NG GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
Nagpapadala sa isang manipulasyon na historically ay ginamit ng mga authoritarian governments sa Christian population.
Jesus is the Most Priceless Reward -Hidilyn Diaz
Jesus is the most priceless reward.
Let’s start a genuine conversation within our churches now
The Word of God would have built up our nation in justice and righteousness as God wants in Psalm 89:14. Instead, we misused 2 verses of Paul Romans 13 to destroy our role as accountability-keepers in our country. Yun naman pala, some of our pastors might have actually just wanted to convey a different message. Nakakalungkot.
ROMANS 12 AND 13 WERE WRITTEN BY PAUL TO PROMOTE GODLY LIVING, NOT EVIL
Mga kapatid, naabuso ang paggamit ng Romans 13:1-2. Imbes na ipakita na ang principal point ni Paul ay ang pag-promote ng Christ-like love sa chapter 13:9, nagamit ang twisted interpretation ng Romans 13:1-2 to promote evil.
BAKA INSTEAD OF TWISTING ROMANS 13:1-2 AY ITO LANG NAMAN PALA ANG GUSTONG SABIHIN NG SOME CHURCH LEADERS
Huwag sumama sa mga New People’s Army at Communist Party of the Philippines. – Hindi po mahirap iyang sabihin kung bibigyan ninyo rin po ng equipping ang young people niyo on how to fight against injustice in a Christian way.
ALAM PO BA NATIN NA NAPIPIGILAN ANG POLITICAL MATURITY NG MGA PILIPINO SA TWISTED NA PAGTUTURO NG ROMANS 13?
In many places in the Bible, God emphasizes the importance of helping people find freedom in Him, and not be the slave of human rulers.
FAITH AND DEMOCRACY ARE COMPATIBLE, THEY ARE PART OF FILIPINO INTEGRAL MISSION (#1 of Series)
Sinasabi ng major leaders ng Catholic at Evangelical/Protestant churches, kailangan consistent ang doctrine at practice natin. Otherwise, kaduda-duda ang Christianity natin. Ito ang sinasabi nilang “integral mission” ng Jesus followers, na kailangan may authenticity tayo.
BAKIT IPINAGPIPILITAN ANG TWISTED INTERPRETATION NG ROMANS 13:1-2?
Paano mo nakakayang sabihin na huwag punahin ang gobyerno kahit naaapi na ang maliliit? Samantalang dominant biblical command ang speak for the voiceless, and defend the weak and the poor? Itigil na ang maling paggamit ng religious authority to promote the idolatry of political leaders. Dahil sa walang kibo ang malaking bahagi ng church, lalong lumala ang injustice at oppression sa bansa.
