The Bible

“The bible: Know it in your head, stow it in your heart, show it in your life, sow it in the world.” Philippine Star Oct. 12, 2009

Most Filipinos have no idea why we are a spiritually poor people and a morally bankrupt nation. It is mainly due to, if not the result of, - bible messages.

Consider such one bible message destructive as always: “Love not this world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not with him. 11 John 2:15

We Filipinos love not this world. We do not love our own country – the Philippines. For the love of God up there, we hate this world down here. In fact, we would rather look forward to be better world to come after death. As if there is any such life.

Consider another deadly message: “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.” Matt. 6:34. Our teachers in school, our professors in college, our politicians in the government, and our priests, bishops, and cardinals in the church all love and respect such a convenient message from the bible. It supplies them with power derived from fear and ignorance – the foundation of our religious beliefs and values as we are the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara
