“My dear brother/sister, I respect your love for the King James Bible. It’s a powerful and historic translation, and God has used it to bring millions to Christ. But the truth is, the Bible was not written in English, and it certainly was not written in 1611.

The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and Aramaic, and the New Testament in Greek. The King James translators themselves admitted they were just making another translation of God’s Word, not the only one.

Since 1611, God has allowed us to discover much older manuscripts—like the Dead Sea Scrolls and Codex Sinaiticus—that the KJV translators never had access to. These discoveries bring us even closer to the original words inspired by God. Modern translations are not corrupt; they are actually more accurate because they use the earliest sources.

Also, there are verses in the KJV (like 1 John 5:7 or Acts 8:37) that are not found in the oldest manuscripts at all. They were later additions from the Latin tradition. That means no one in the first century church read them. If the KJV is the only true Bible, then are you saying Christians for 1,500 years before 1611 never had the true Word of God?

The truth is this: the ultimate authority is not the King James Bible, or any English translation—it is the inspired Word of God in the original languages, faithfully preserved and translated across many versions. God’s promise was not to preserve one English translation, but to preserve His Word for all nations and languages.

So instead of dividing over translations, let’s unite on the gospel:
- That Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose again, and gives eternal life to all who believe in Him.

That message shines just as clear in the KJV, NIV, ESV, or any faithful translation. To insist that only the KJV is inspired is to place tradition above truth. But to receive God’s Word in all languages is to honor the God who said, ‘Go and make disciples of all nations.’ (Matthew 28:19).

The KJV is a great Bible, but Christ is greater. The Bible is not about defending a translation—it is about knowing the Savior.”

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION

It was never really about what religion you belong to—whether Roman Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, or anything else. The real question is this: Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? That is what truly matters, because only Jesus is the way to salvation. “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6)

You may be a devoted Catholic or Protestant, but if you have not truly accepted Christ into your life, then all your religious activities are meaningless. Going to church or attending mass is empty if your heart has not surrendered to Him. “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” (Matthew 15:8)

A true Christian is a follower of Christ—someone who has genuinely accepted Him into their life. And when you accept Jesus, your life changes. You begin to follow His teachings, you thirst for His Word, and your heart longs to live according to His will. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Many people think that switching to another church is how they will encounter God, but that is not the truth. God has always been speaking to us, but pride and selfish desires often cloud our hearts and keep us from what truly matters—accepting Christ into our lives. “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13)

Remember, our God is personal. He desires a relationship with you. If you continue resisting Him, you are lost, my friend. But if you seek Jesus, you will know the truth, and His love will endure forever. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

A lot of times, I could hear this line: “Nat, kailan ka mag-aasawa?” or “Hanap ka na, uy. Hindi ka na bumabata.” I know they mean it with good intentions, because that’s part of our culture. And yes, I understand where they’re coming from — but I don’t agree that marriage or having a girlfriend is the key to real happiness and fulfillment.

Sure, there’s a kind of joy that comes with it, but it’s temporary. What I’ve learned is that what truly satisfies life is having a relationship with God. That’s the kind of fulfillment that makes you whole. When you know Him, you stop rushing things, because you trust His timing. In His perfect time, the right person — your beautiful wife, your partner — will come naturally.

So don’t force it. If God is showing you a vision or a calling, follow Him first. He will provide everything: family, money, clothes, even the smallest things you need. Why? Because God is a loving Father. A God who loved us so much that He made Himself human — and in the deepest act of love, He died for us.

A God who became man… and loved us as His very own children.

I joined my Uncle Moris in ministering to those in prison. He shared that mistakes and sins carry consequences, yet there is always hope—when we accept our Heavenly Father into our hearts and allow Him to straighten our path.

As I sat there, I couldn’t help but ask myself: what if someone who had deeply hurt me, or committed something terrible against my loved ones, was among them? Would I still have the courage to come? In all honesty, I realized that in my own strength, I could not.

But God continues to teach me that forgiveness is not about what I can do—it is about what He has already done. Just as He forgives, He calls me to forgive. And this is only possible through prayer. In prayer, we open our hearts to Him, and He gives us the strength to do what feels impossible.

Through Him, we can overcome even the hardest battles within us.

Just want to share my reflection on my bible reading this night. Shalom!

James Chapter 2
‎
‎“Faith without works is dead.”
‎What does this mean?
‎
‎ It means that true faith is always accompanied by action, just as the body without the spirit is dead.
‎
‎Let’s put it this way: Imagine you have a dream of becoming successful. You say you have faith that you will succeed, but you don’t put in the work. That kind of faith is empty—it’s a fallacy. In the same way, you cannot claim to have faith without action. If you truly put your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, your deeds and actions will naturally show it.
‎
‎Claim without action = empty words.
‎Faith with action = real, saving trust.
‎
‎So, James is teaching us that if you claim to be saved or to have faith in God, your actions should be the evidence of that claim. Anyone can say they believe, but words alone don’t make it true. Genuine faith is proven by the life that follows.
‎
‎James gives us a simple example. Suppose a brother or sister has no clothes and nothing to eat. If you say, “Go in peace, stay warm, be filled,” but you don’t actually give them food or clothing—what good is that? The words alone don’t help them. In the same way, faith without action is useless. Real faith doesn’t just speak; it acts in love.

It’s almost impressive how some people cling to ignorance in an age where truth is a click away. It’s not that they don’t know — it’s that they don’t want to know. Willful stupidity is a choice, and sadly, it’s still trending.

Two Major Views on Salvation

1. Losing Salvation

Definition: The belief that salvation can be lost through unrepentant sin, disobedience, or falling away from the faith.

Key Scriptures:

Hebrews 6:4–6

"For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened... and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance..."

This speaks of those who experienced the Holy Spirit but later fell away — often interpreted as apostasy.

---

Hebrews 10:26–27

"For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins..."

Seen as a warning that ongoing, willful sin can bring judgment.

---

2 Peter 2:20–22

"...if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord... they are again entangled in them..."

Falling back into sin is shown as worse than never knowing Christ.

---

Galatians 5:4

"You are severed from Christ... you have fallen away from grace."

Paul warns those returning to the law that they have left grace behind.

---

Matthew 24:13

"But the one who endures to the end will be saved."

Often understood as a condition of salvation: perseverance.

---

Revelation 3:5

"I will never blot his name out of the book of life..."

Some infer that names can be blotted out.

---

John 15:6

"If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers..."

Failure to remain in Christ leads to being cast away.

---

2. Eternal Security

Definition: The belief that once a person is truly saved, they are forever secure in Christ and cannot lose their salvation.

Key Scriptures:

John 10:28–29

"I give them eternal life... no one will sn**ch them out of my hand..."

Jesus guarantees the security of His followers.

---

Romans 8:38–39

"...nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God..."

Not even sin, death, or weakness can sever this bond.

---

Philippians 1:6

"He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..."

God finishes what He starts in us.

---

Ephesians 1:13–14

"...sealed with the promised Holy Spirit... guaranteeing our inheritance..."

The Spirit secures our future in Christ.

---

Ephesians 4:30

"...sealed for the day of redemption."

The Spirit’s seal marks believers for eternal salvation.

---

1 John 5:13

"...that you may know that you have eternal life."

Salvation is presented with confidence, not uncertainty.

---

Jude 24

"To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling..."

God keeps us secure and presents us blameless.

---

2 Timothy 2:13

"If we are faithless, He remains faithful..."

Our failures do not undo His faithfulness.

---

Conclusion

Both views are drawn from Scripture and held by sincere, Bible-believing Christians. Each seeks to honor God’s Word and understand salvation truthfully.

Personally, I hold to the belief that we are eternally saved and kept by grace through Jesus Christ, not by our own efforts. I believe salvation is a work of God from beginning to end — and that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption.

At the same time, I respect those who believe salvation must be continually guarded and walked out with faithfulness. Above all, we are called to pursue truth in love, and to encourage one another to remain faithful to Christ.

Faith (Pananampalataya)

What is faith?
In general terms, faith is the belief or trust in someone or something, even in the absence of complete proof.

In the Bible, faith is defined in Hebrews 11:1 as:

> “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

This means that faith involves believing in something without having absolute, direct evidence.
But does this imply that faith is simply blind belief?

The answer is no.
Faith is not the same as blindly believing in something. Rather, it is a decision to believe based on reasonable evidence, experience, or trust that has been earned over time.

Here are some examples to illustrate:

1. When you lend money to a friend, you may not be 100% certain that he will repay it. However, if he has a history of returning what he borrows, that pattern serves as evidence, giving you confidence to trust him again. That trust is a form of faith, grounded in past experience.

2. Similarly, when you board a bus or jeepney, you may not personally know the qualifications of the driver. Yet, the operational system, the presence of other passengers, and your past experiences with similar situations give you enough assurance to trust that you will reach your destination safely.

---

In the same way, we accept the Bible by faith—not because we have personally witnessed the events described, but because there is substantial evidence supporting its historical reliability, consistency, and influence. The manuscript evidence, archaeological findings, and fulfilled prophecies all contribute to a reasoned belief in its truth.

Therefore, faith is not a matter of blind acceptance.
It is a thoughtful response to the evidence presented—one that leads to trust and conviction.

Acts 17:11 (Examine and test)

> “Now the Bereans were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.”
(ESV)

They didn’t just accept Paul’s teaching—they studied daily, compared it with Scripture, and God called them noble for doing so.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So take time to explore and check the evidence for the Bible, and you’ll see that your faith is built on something real and trustworthy.

The biggest lesson in my life is that I worry a lot—about my life, my future, my needs, and many other things. However, God continuously reminds me that He is just, all-powerful, and loves me so much that He desires a future for me. I hold on to that promise until now: "all things work together for good to those who love Him."

For instance, during our trip to Thailand, I was overwhelmed with worry to the point of experiencing short-term memory loss. I forgot my phone's password and tried everything to remember it because I had important information stored there. Sadly, I still can't recall it. I also fretted over our budget, which was insufficient, and I had to dip into my personal funds to cover both my companions. The stress weighed heavily on me—I felt disoriented and dizzy at times. Yet, as the group leader, I needed to remain calm and composed. During these trials, I witnessed God's hand at work and understood why He allowed these challenges.

For example, when I realized our budget was insufficient to buy food for the next day or travel to the places we wanted to go, and the remaining money only covered our expenses for traveling back to the airport, I was extremely stressed. Another instance was when we went to Cambodia and discovered they didn't exchange pesos there. We needed to buy something for the feeding program that day, but couldn't find anyone accepting pesos for exchange. However, God remained faithful. At those hopeless and clueless times, He never left me and used other people to reach out and help us accumulate the necessary money. I was surprised by some of the people God used to help us because we weren't particularly close to them

Another one, was forgetting my password may have been a way for God to redirect my focus to what He wanted to reveal to me during our trip. If I had access to those files, I might have spent my time differently. Another instance was when Pastor Jezreel declined to drive the tricycle, which initially frustrated me as I thought he was being lazy. However, I later understood that God had a purpose—to lead us to minister to a Cambodian boy who was the tricycle driver, allowing us to share and pray with him. Now, I truly understand the meaning of the verse "all things work together for good to those who love Him."

Many significant events occurred during our trip, and I am grateful to God for the people we met and were able to fellowship with there.

I acknowledge that I am a sinner saved by His grace and am continually being transformed into the person God wants me to be.

In the Fields of Faith

With weary hearts and hopeful dreams,
We tread the path where silence screams.
In foreign lands, we share His light,
Yet face the shadows, day and night.

Each soul we seek, a story untold,
With love as our armor, brave and bold.
Yet doubts assail like a chilling breeze,
As we labor on our trembling knees.

The language barriers, the culture clash,
Moments of joy, and trials that crash.
Yet in each struggle, His presence we find,
A whisper of peace that calms the mind.

Through barren fields and crowded streets,
We sow the seeds where faith competes.
For every heart that turns away,
A glimmer of hope still lights the way.

Though weary hands may falter and shake,
We rise again for His glory’s sake.
In every challenge, we stand tall and true,
For Christ is with us in all that we do.

MY PERSPECTIVE ON FAITH AND BELIEF:

While I may not be well-versed in many areas, I am certain about what is beneficial for me. Embracing faith in God offers me solace, direction, and a sense of fulfillment in my life. Preferring belief over disbelief, my faith serves as a compass guiding me towards goodness and providing me with a beacon of hope. Even if my convictions were to be proven wrong, I find comfort in living a life filled with the boundless joy and contentment bestowed upon me by my divine Creator, allowing me to navigate life's journey with tranquility.
