a thought on works and grace
I've been talking to people a lot this past year about grace, and it seems like most people, whether we are Christian or not, believe grace implies some kind of license to do whatever we feel like doing. I love the doctrine of grace, and the concept of justification by grace through faith. It is by grace alone i have been saved. But i would love to put to death the idea that grace means God does not care what we do as long as we love Him. I hope to start a bit of a discussion on this, so please comment. I won't write too much on it here, i'll just quote the text that initiated this post. "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age..." -Titus 2:11-12.

When discussing things such as grace/works there is a lot we must be careful about. When we discuss salvation by grace alone we should do so with an intensity that forces people to realize that there is NOTHING they can do to merit anything. When we preach the doctrine of grace correctly we will be labeled as antinomians (anti-law). When Paul preached of salvation by grace alone apart from works in Romans he was ridiculed as an antinomian. People took the teaching of Paul and made it a license to sin. And that is where we must be careful to teach that good works necessarily follow salvation by grace.
Funny, I preached on that passage six weeks ago. But in regards to putting to death the idea of grace meaning God doesn't care what we do...I think the issue may be this...grace is too often viewed as our freedom to do anything and still be forgiven, when really it is our freedom to to do that which is pleasing to the One who is our very source of grace. Not a freedom to obey the flesh, but a freedom from flesh to obey and submit to Christ as head. There is a huge difference between liberty and license. Now...about that "salvation for all people" part...
Nice work Lickel...you're doing much better than me in keeping up w/ your blog. You may have already read this post: http://fool-4-jesus.blogspot.com/2006/12/faith-vs-works-controversy.html
I blogged about some of the things we talked about last year regarding James 2:21-22.
Another solid verse that I like relating to this is 1 Peter 4:11 which says, "whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies - in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen"
God supplies the strength for any "good" works that we accomplish and it's all for his glory.
And Lickel, you better be a good Calvinist and remember to tell people that "We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment." Isaiah 64:6
Keep up the "good work" on your blog!

Thanks guys. This is a pretty good conversation, so i'm going to leave this post at the top to give people some more time to comment. Pete and Borg hit on some very big things, and check Josh's blog out. It is true, apart from Christ it is impossible to please God. My pastor said the other day that we are saved by grace apart from works, but we are not given a salvation that doesn't produce good the works that God has prepared for us to do. How does that sound?
Lickel,
Sounds good! A lot like Luther's whole, faith alone justifies but justifying faith is never alone.
OK, so I only got to share 1 of my 2 cents on the post on my blog.
Here are a couple more thoughts. Well, not mine, the Lord's.
I'm growing to love the book of Titus. There are 3 power packed chapters that have a lot to say about "good works". 2:7-8 says, "Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us." Sounds an awful lot like justification in the sight of men, which I mentioned in my post was what James was saying in 2:24 when he said, "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."
Then end of Titus 2 contains another beautiful verse about "good works". It says that Jesus "gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. (v14) 11-14 explain how God has done everything and because of Him we are "zealous for good works."
3:1 says to "be ready for every good work" while 3:8 and 3:14 say people should "devote themselves to good works".
If Titus 3:4-7 isn't one of the most clear pictures of the gospel in all of Scripture, I don't know what is. Does anyone feel like this passage is almost never used when we're talking about "the gospel"?
Here it is...I'll let you read it and enjoy it. I'd like to get some of your thoughts.
"But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
P.S. you all have to check out my blog for a tribute to the author of this one :)

Keep the whole story of grace: starting back with adam - your eyes will be opened and you will be like God knowing good and evil. When we forced God's hand, we created this choice. Grace is the gift, but we still have to choose how to practice it. And work with it we must, to show where we stand. Micah 6:8; Matthew 6:12, James 1:25 and I Peter 1:10 & 2:10
im not sure im getting that last comment. could you explain?
Not to argue on trifles, but on noticing Kyle's quote of Luther - "Justifying faith is never alone" - I would care to disagree. The possibility to, as a believer, neglect our responsibility to good works, therefore leaving our justifying faith "alone," is very real, thus the exhortation in Hebrews 2:3 to not neglect our great salvation, which I think would entail our unwillingness to walk in the "good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" (Eph 2:10).
Pete,
What your missing out on is the fundamental truth of the statement. One is justified by faith in the work of Christ and this is the only ground. But when someone is justified works will properly follow. You will know the tree by the fruit that it bears. This is not to say that every season of life will be filled with good works. What it is saying is that faith and good works CANNOT be separated. When one is made a good tree one will bear good fruit. To deny this is to deny the nature of grace as working effectively in the heart of a sinner to bring about the good works which God has promised in Christ Jesus.
I think the issue of this subject has to do with a lack understanding about devotion. Christ died to save us, the wretched population of this world who are constantly attempting to dive off of God into the fire. Complete devotion is what it's all about. No one has earned anything. No one deserves anything. No one has the right to live for himself. No one has earned that time of just having fun. Once that divine and supernatural light shows you for who you really are, you have no choice but run to the white-hot cleansing coal.
Life, in its entirety, is what is owed. No compromise. We deserve Hell. Getting into Heaven is not the goal; it is one result. The complete glorification of Christ is the goal. Our lives and good works should be the joy of our salvation in the glorification of our Lord. There is no other answer that scripture has shown me.
Anonymous: question?
What we mean is - did grace abound because we forced the need for it or was it already part of the plan?

How Yeshu’a become Jesus

How
Yeshu’a
become
Jesus
By:JOSEPH STALLINGS
We usually don’t think about it, but our Lord’s name was not always Jesus. It was in fact originally the popular Aramaic name Yeshu’a.
.
In first century Judea and Galilee, the name Yeshu’a was very common and shared fifth place with Eleazar (Lazarus) in popularity as a name for Jewish men. The most popular male names at that time were Shime’on (Simon), Yosef (Joseph), Yehuda (Judah or Judas) and Yochanan (John).
In the Holy Land at the time of Christ, Aramaic had replaced Hebrew in everyday conversation, but Hebrew remained the holy language and was used in worship and daily prayers. The rabbis also used Hebrew when instructing their disciples. The two languages were closely related, however, as close as Italian is to Spanish, and both used the same alphabet.
Yeshu’a was the Aramaic version of the Hebrew name Yehoshu’a (Joshua), and means “Yahweh saves”.
Throughout Christ’s lifetime in Galilee, Samaria and Judea of course the name Yeshu’a presented no problem for those who spoke Aramaic and read the Bible and prayed in Hebrew. But outside the Holy Land it become a different story as Good News spread.
The Gentiles of the Roman Empire spoke Greek and Latin and simply could not pronounce Yeshu’a. It contained sounds that did not exist in their language. When the Gospels were written in Greek, therefore, the Evangelists had a real problem regarding how they might render our Lord’s name into acceptable Greek.
The initially ‘Y’ (Hebrew and Aramaic letter ‘yod’) was easy. The Evangelists could use the Greek letter ‘iota’, written ‘I,’ since it was pronounced like the ‘y’ in yet.
The next sound was a vowel, and that was a little more difficult. Unlike Greek, all the letters of the Aramaic-Hebrew alphabet are consonants. The marks for the vowels were not invented until some centuries after Christ and were simple dots and dashes, placed above or beneath the letters. At the time of Christ apparently, the first vowel in our Lord’s name was pronounced like the ‘a’ in gate. And the Evangelists believed they could approximate that sound by using the Greek letter ‘eta’. (The capital Greek letter looks just like our English letter H).
Then followed the first of two almost insurmountable problems with Hebrew and Aramaic pronunciation. There was no letter for the ‘sh’ sound in the Greek alphabet. Such a familiar name as Solomon was actually Sh’lomo in Hebrew, Samson was Shimson and Samuel was Sh’mu-El. Like the Greek translators of these Old Testament Hebrew names, the Evangelists used the Greek sigma (s) for the Hebrew shin (sh) when rendering Christ’s name.
The first three Greek letters ‘iota’, ‘eta’, and ‘sigma’, moreover came to be used in early Byzantine religious art as an abbreviation of Jesus name. As they look very much like the Latin letters HIS, the letters were adapted in Western European religious paintings and church architecture as a symbol for Christ’s name.
The next letter in the Aramaic name Yeshu’a was the Hebrew letter ‘waw’, which here represents the sound ‘oo’, as in too. It was easy for the Evangelists to duplicate this sound in Greek. It takes two letters, however, the omicron (o) and upsilon (u).
But that easy substitution was followed by the biggest problem of all: the final ‘a’ sound. In Greek, there was no substitute for the Hebrew letter ‘aiyin’. Though the ‘aiyin’ has no sound of its own, it causes the vowel that it controls to be pronounced deep in the throat. The Greek couldn’t do that, and neither could the Romans when speaking in Latin. Usually, a Greek or Roman would pronounce an ‘aiyin’-controlled ‘a’ like the ‘a’ in father.
A final ‘a’ on a name however was most commonly feminine in both Greek and Latin. Thus it was decided to drop the Hebrew ‘aiyin’ completely and replace it with the final Greek sigma (s) which most often indicates the masculine gender in nouns.
Throughout the Roman Empire then our Lord’s Aramaic name Yeshu’a, had become the Greek name Iesous, pronounced yeh-SOOS. And this remained Christ’s name throughout the Roman Empire as long as Greek remained the dominant language.
But after some centuries Greek lost its favored position and Latin took its place. In the last quarter of the fourth century, the Bible was translated from Greek into Latin by *St. Jerome who had no trouble rendering the Greek Iesous into Latin, it became Iesus. The accent, however, was moved to the first syllable and the name pronounced YAY-soos, since the Romans liked to accent the second from the last syllable.
In about 14th century, in the scriptoria of the monasteries where Bibles were copied by hand, Monks began to elongate the initial ‘I’ of the words into a ‘J’. (The pronounciation remained the same-like the ‘y’ in yet but the Monks thought a ‘J’ looked better). Probably the first Monks to do this were Germans because the letter ‘j’ in that language sounds the same as the ‘y’ in English. The name Iesus, consequently, evolved into the familiar written form of Jesus by the 17th century. Everyone still pronounced it YAY-soos, however, as it was in the official liturgical Latin.
Way back in the fifth and sixth centuries, some pagan Germanic tribes called the Angles and Saxons invaded England. St Augustine of Canterbury came to convert them to Christianity in A.D.396. Of course St. Augustine established Jerome’s Latin translation as England’s official Bible. The Anglo-Saxon learned that our Lord’s official Latin name was Iesus. Naturally the Germanic Anglo-Saxon converted the initial Latin ‘I’ into the German ‘J’. They pronounced the name, however, as YAY-zoos, since a single ‘s’ between two vowels is sounded like our ‘z’ in Germanic languages.
When the Normans invaded England in A.D.1066 they brought with them the French language. Since neither the Anglo-Saxons nor the Normans would surrender their language to the other, the two become wedded and eventually evolved into Modern English.
The Normans did influence the pronunciation of the first letter of Our Lord’s name, though, they brought the French pronunciation of ‘j’ (jh), which evolved into our English sound of ‘j’.
When King James commissioned the first official translation of the Bibles into English in the early 17th century, the Latin Jesus was carried over unchanged into the new English Bible. The average English citizen of the day probably pronounced the name JAY-zus which ultimately evolved into our modern English JEE-zus.
The long process was now complete. A name that began as the Aramaic Yeshu’a would remain written in English as it was in Medieval Latin, but now would be pronounced in English speaking countries as the familiar and loving name of the One who is our Savior, JESUS.
• Eusebius Hieronymus A.D.347 – A.D.419

SECULAR GLOBALIZATION WILL OVERTAKE THE
RELIGIOUS BELIEF
Kabayan Alfonso Datu-Aca Tabilog
ABSTRACT
The challenge of globalization will overtake the sacredness of all organized religions due
to the facts that religions in Asia and around the World does not hold a firm ideas and realities of
what they were teaching and believing, uncertain people will turn away from the True Faith as
prophesied in Matthew 24:10-14 “at that time many will turn away from the Faith and will betray
and hate each other and many false prophets will appear and deceived many people, because of
increased in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will
be saved”.
The influenced of earlier religious belief with paganistic practices, humanistic
philosophies, Hellenistic and adaptation of mythologies, caused a great misunderstanding the
Messiah of Nazareth whose name was called YAHSHU’A that walked on this earth 2,000 years
ago. Religious men and women knew that the letter J was newly invented about 375 years ago
but still insist on calling the Latinized Greek name and title Jesus Christ that the Messiah of
Nazareth was not called and never been called in his lifetime when he walk on this earth 2,000
years ago.
For the past 2,000 years churchianity has been constructing another building, which rests
upon another cornerstone cut from a quarry of Greco-Roman teachings. These beliefs are
cemented with false teaching and paganistic practices and humanistic philosophies and include a
Savior bearing a Latinized Greek name. This spiritual building does not rest upon the foundation
of the true Redeemer of Israel. Our Bible is HEBREW and main performers were Hebrew
people, not Greek or Roman.
The false foundation of Churchianity later influenced the next to be born religions, the
Islam, Protestants and the present organized religions. This false foundation will caused the
uncertain people to prioritize the Secular Globalization that will overtake the religious belief and
fulfilled the prophecy in Matthew 24:10-14.

How Religion Interact with Regionalism and Globalization
The foundation of belief of most of the religions of the world is the Bible. The Bible is
the compilation of writings of ancient Hebrew people about the Almighty One, the Creator of
Heavens and Earth and everything on it, the Universe and Mankind. Also we believed the Bible
is the Manual of Mankind. Do you agree that the Bible is the Manual of Mankind? Therefore we
all believed that the Bible is the Manual of Mankind.
I remember my elder sister was a salutatorian in Don Alejandro Roces High School in
Quezon City almost 40 years ago. I ask her if she read the manual of her car, and she says of
course how I can operate my car in correct and proper operations if I will not read and
understand the manual of my car. I ask again, How about the manual of your television, she
answered, yes how can I operate all the features of the television if I will not read and understand
the manual. I told her if I will file up all books and magazine you read, it will be taller than you?
Of course she answered. The last question I ask is How about the Manual of Mankind has you
read it? What is that Manual of Mankind she asked me? As we all agreed earlier that the Bible is
the Manual of Mankind. If you did not read the Manual of Mankind you cannot operate all the
features of mankind and you cannot operate yourself in correct and proper ways. In that logic do
you agree? So therefore no one can give advice or correct someone if he or she has not read and
understand the manual of Mankind. If that so happened that a man or a woman who does not
read and understand the Manual of Mankind give advices to someone, do you think it will be
correct advice? Of course not a good advise.
I was at home when a Religious Pastor approaches me and told me ‘Brother I want to
save your soul’. I asked the Pastor, how can you saved my soul? He answered, by means of this
Bible. I asked again the Pastor, You will save my soul by means of that Bible? ‘Yes’ the Pastor
answered and uttered verses in the Bible that ‘God has love the world that he gave his only
begotten son Jesus Christ to save us’. I asked again the Pastor, ‘are you really a Pastor?, He
answered me ‘Yes’, I asked again, ‘As a Pastor you want to save my soul by means of the Bible
but did you read the whole of the Bible? The Pastor answered ‘Yes’, I asked again the Pastor the
second time and the Pastor swear, he did not read the whole of the Bible but repeated again the
verse “God has love the world that he gave his only begotten son Jesus Christ to save us”. Then I
told the Pastor that I am a Surgical Doctor and I have operated many cases of Appendicitis in our
place but the only problem is I did not read the whole of the manuals and books of being a
Surgical Doctor. Then I asked the Pastor ‘will you allow me to make operations on your
appendicitis? Immediately the Pastor refused to be operated, he told me that because I did not
read the manuals and books of being a Surgical Doctor, this might caused death to my patients
by tetanus. I told him also how much more you (Pastor) did not read the whole of the Bible and
you will make operations on my Soul to save me, my soul might likewise get tetanus that will
caused death.
In Saudi Arabia I was invited on Islam Conversion Lectures at Batha Muslim Center
Riyadh. The Lecturer is a Filipino claimed he was formerly a Jehovah’s Witnesses Lecturer
before he was converted into Islam belief. The Lecturer told us that to be a Muslim you need to
follow the five pillars, the Shahadah or twin testimonies, Salah the five times prayer, Zakat the
alms giving, Sawm is fasting during Ramadan month, Hajj is pilgrimage to city of Mecca. Every
able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so is obliged to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in
3
his or her lifetime. The Lecturer also claimed that from Adam to Noah to Jesus all of the prophets and
patriarch in the scriptures are all Muslim. And the last thing he claimed that all of this was written and
everything not written we must not believed and accept. Then the Lecturer allows me to raise questions.
‘Mr. Lecturer you claimed that everything written only we will believed and accept but not written we
must not believed. To be a Muslim is to follow the five pillars you mentioned, and also that from Adam to
Noah to Jesus all of them were Muslim as you claimed. Now my question is Adam, Noah to Jesus all of
them Muslim and therefore they followed the five pillars and the same time they practice Hajj pilgrimage
to Mecca, my question is where it was written that Adam, Noah to Jesus that they performed Hajj in
Mecca? The Lecturer was not able to answer. That moment I continue asking the Lecturer
questions, “when you were Lecturer in Jehovah’s belief had you read the whole of the Bible?
The Lecturer answered that no need to read the Bible since he was converted to Islam but I asked
again if he read the whole of the Bible during the time when he was the lecturer of Jehovah’s
Witnesses. He insist that no need to read since he was converted into Muslim and at the time he
was Lecturer in Jehovah’s Witnesses he did not read the whole of the Bible. Then I asked the
Lecturer, “how about now, had you read completely the Holy Koran”? In this moment other
members interrupt and intervene in the discussion. I keep on praying to Yahweh of my safety
and I was saved and was able to exit alive thru the help of their high priest named Professor
Sawalahadid that I had a healthy conversation a month ago. The point here I want to reiterate that
those lecturers, teachers, and pastors of the Bible they did not read the whole contents of the
Bible but only they relied on the Dogmas and Doctrines of their affiliated religion.
In Yemen I was invited in their church by a Filipino OFW turned Pastor. Immediately the
Pastor told me that Yahweh is only found in Old Testament but now we are in the New
Testament era and no more in the Old Testament. At that point of conversation, I took his Bible
and try to separate the Old Testament from the New Testament. The Pastor asked me why I am
trying to torn the Bible. I told him “As what you said no more Old Testament so I am removing
the Old Testament in your Bible, and immediately the Pastor took his Bible. I told the Pastor that
my father in the Philippines send me five (5) pages letter but my colleagues distributed the five
pages letter into my five site offices, the page five (5) I received first and read the last page of the
letter of my father. The following week I arrived in my second site office I found page four (4) of
my father’s letter, I asked the Pastor do you think I already understood the will of my father? The
pastor answered “No, because you read only the last two pages of the letter”. After another week
I found page three (3) on the third site office and page two (2) in my fourth site office and page
one (1) in my fifth site office. I asked again the Pastor “do you think I understood now the will of
my father after reading the letter from page 6 down to page 1? The pastor answered “No, because
you need to read the letter in correct sequence to understand the will of your father. Then I asked
the Pastor “whose will to write this Bible? The Pastor answered “The will of the Father in
Heaven”. Therefore if you read only New Testament it was like you read only page 5 and 4 of
the letter of my father and you told me that still you will not understand the will of your father,
how much more you did not read the old testament is like you did not read page 1 to 3 of the
letter of my father that you said still I will not understand because I need to read the letter in
correct sequence to understand the will of your father. If you did not read the Bible in correct
sequence you will not understand the will of the Father in Heaven. I told the Pastor why are you
teaching? In your teaching you will bring your student to falsehood understandings. Then
commotion again happened and I was saved again by Yahweh from troubles.

The fiction or non-fiction pocket book which is much more thicker than the Bible we can
read completely and discussed diligently with our friends of the whole contents of the pocket
book, but the smaller than the pocket book the Bible we cannot read and we have no knowledge
about it but we only rely our understanding on those Pastors and Priest who did not also read the
Bible in whole. It’s not fair; we don’t give importance to the most important of all, the Manual of
Mankind. In our houses we make the Bible as a Display only, the Bible is still new and unopened,
We walk on Sunday holding the Bible on the street going to our church but we did not
read it, we only hold the Bible as a display to say that we are good or religious. Better are those
that show they were not religious but read the whole of the Manual of Mankind. Do you know
that before, only Kings and rich people can afford to own a Bible and they are very few who has
the opportunity to read the Bible. How much more this time we have all the opportunities to read
and understand the contents of the Bible. But, why I will read the whole contents of the Bible if
whatever I read in the Bible is not being practiced and followed in Churchianity that I belong to.
What we noticed was being practiced and followed now on our generation were the teachings of
man. Let’s see some of this teaching of man that were fooling our society and we continue to
agree and be part of the lies and falsehood in our societies belief, or else we will be considered
FOOLS or INSANE.
Example is the word Dece means ten, Septe means Seven. Septe in our society that we
agreed is September is nine, October is ten, November is eleven, Dece is twelve, but Dece means
ten, therefore December is the tenth month and on the last day the 31st is the last day of the year
making the 11th month the First month and start of the new year. Will you start your New Year
on March 1st and greet everybody Happy New Year on March 1st. You will be called fool,
insane, it is not even Chinese New Year, and people will laugh at you.
The next day will start at 12:01 midnight and end on 12:00 midnight also this was
introduced by Pope Gregory X on 13th century about 700 years ago. The original start of day on
the time of the Messiah 2,000 years ago is the day start after the sunset and end on sunset of the
next day. We can say today the time is 7:00 p.m. is (Friday) no it was already (Saturday the
Sabbath day) because sunset already passed; it is not (Friday) anymore. So we are weird.
The Seventh day was made Holy and to make Holy convocation but the Seventh day
become the First day the Sunday where Holy convocation is held on Sunday not on Sabbath day
which is Saturday. And many more as prophesied in Daniel 7:25 “He will speak against the Most
High and oppress his Saints and try to change the set times and laws”.
Greatest Mistake
But one of the Greatest Mistake in our present time is calling the wrong and different name for the
Messiah of Nazareth. The only name to be saved according to Acts of the Apostles 4:12 is in the name
JESUS (Acts 4:12 there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved”). The name
JESUS was never and never been used to call the Messiah of Nazareth when Messiah walked on this earth
2,000 years ago.
It was published in Catholic Digest on January 1992 vol.32, no.6 How Yeshu’a become
Jesus by JOSEPH STALLINGS. The Messiah’s name is Yeshu’a in Aramaic pronounced
5
‘yahshua’ was translated Iesous in Greek pronounced as ‘yeh-soos’ and translated Iesus in Latin
pronounced ‘yay-soos’. When Letter J was invented by German-Dutch printer on year 1633
about 375 years ago the Latin name Iesus become JESUS pronounced dyezuz. The Latin name
Iesus was translated to Arabic as Issa, well known to Islam. So the mistakes of churchianity were
brought to another belief. The Reformation and the present well organized religious groups
followed the same mistake in calling on the wrong and mistaken name for the Messiah of
Nazareth.
Other will say ‘You know when translated into another language the name also change.
Let’s translate into Tagalog “President of America Bill Clinton visited the Philippines”. In
Tagalog language ‘Pangulo ng Amerika si Batingting (Bell) Malinis (Clin) Tonelada (Ton) ay
dumalaw sa Pilipinas’. The name now become famous is Beel-Clean-Ton (Batingting-Malinis-
Tonelada) is the president of America that visited the Philippines it was no longer Bill Clinton. If
you say the correct name is Bill Clinton people will laugh at you because the one become famous
is Beel-Clean-Ton . The same as in the only name given among us to be saved is in the name
YAHSHU’A not Beel-Clean-Ton or Batingting Malinis Tonelada or Jesus. So if you say
Yahshu’a is the name of Messiah people will laugh at you. Try to tell this name Yahshu’a in
your home when you go home today, they will laugh at you. How much more it was prophesied
that “you will be hated by all nation for my name sake” for the sake of the name Yahshu’a you
will be hated by all in Matthew 24:9.
Do you got my point? The personal name cannot be translated but transliterated meaning
transferring the name by sound, like name Mao-Tse-Tung is ‘mao-tse-tung’ also in any language.
What we want to reiterate the correctness should start on our self on our personal faith; next
correctness will follows like a domino effect in our family, to our friend, in our society, in the
politics, in economy, in regionalization understanding and in globalization policies.
We were taught by unlearned teacher in the past and the continuation of their teachings,
still indoctrinating the mind and belief of our society especially of our youth. What will be the
result? The continuations of indoctrination of wrong and false teaching into our youth will result
to our future leaders and people will depend and relies on the falsehood and will no longer accept
the truth as what is going on now.
As I remember my poem when I was in my grade schools, I will recite for all of us “We
are what we are today, because You our Elders have made us this way, We are what we are,
because we had become a victim, an endless victim of your bungler and smugness, your
incompetence …” Now this time the elders I am talking is I myself and you my dear
intellectuals, will we not stand to correct the wrong, will we not move our hands to change the
falsehood into truth? When I will start to move, this is the same question I asked myself when I
found the falsehood, maybe I will move if I am now old, yes I will move when I am no longer
active in my organization, or I will move to correct the falsehood when I am no longer here in
this world. Remember our life is so short, how many more years I will live, how many more
years you will live? Lets move now and correct the falsehood in our society and specially in our
belief and everything will follows, our family and relatives will follow, our friends will follow,
our society will follow, our politics of course will follow, our life style or way of life will be
corrected and the economy will follow, regional and global understanding will based on our
6
basic foundation that is the TRUE and CORRECT FOUNDATION that can only be found in the
MANUAL OF MANKIND THE BIBLE.
How the Falsehood in Religion Interact with Regionalism and Globalization
Because of very fast communication and bulks of information in the internet, this
falsehood will be revealed and those hiding in white garments will be unmasked and people will
no longer believe in their teaching that will turn away from the Faith and will betray and hate
each other, and because of increased in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. There will
be no more Good Samaritans in the road, their will be no more alms-givers, their will be no more
philanthropies, everything will be with price, there will be no more free in this world even the
basic needs, as we are experiencing now. You have to pay when you use the comfort room, you
have to pay when you enter the park to relax your eyes, and time will come that we need to pay
to have fresh air to breath.
As what is going on now in Europe, church-goers are becoming lesser and lesser and
priesthood is no longer popular professions. Churchianity in particular will loose their grab to
their members and loose their importance to the society. There will be tremendous effect in our
politics. The lawmakers will no longer be influenced by Churchianity and the laws will favor the
fast growth of globalization in expense of the basic human right needs. Because of the
revelations of falsehood, many will turn away from Churchianity and will betray and hate each
other, and because of increased in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. This is because
there are no teachers of the TRUTH, there are no GOOD Examples, and there is no TRUE and
CORRECT FOUNDATION. Teachers of the TRUTH, how can you teach the TRUTH if you did
not study and learned what you are teaching? Teachers based their teaching in the teaching of
Man. Teachers teaching Darwin’s theory of Evolution, “You know students MAN came from
Monkey”. Evolution is a continuous process, but can we find a man now saying his father is a
monkey? But most of our Elders now knew more on Monkey business. There are no GOOD
examples, as a leader you must be a good example. But leaders is the one who were corrupt,
leaders were the one doing vises, leaders were the one showing wrong is correct and correct is
wrong. The leaders is not limited to government officials only but also in show business and also
those famous. Being famous you must show the correctness in you into our society. They
married and divorced and married and divorced, having children with different partners, are they
good example to our society? Why this is happening, because we have no law that restricts this
wrong attitude of our society? We have law that restricts Jaywalkers but we cannot restrict
Famous People. Yes we have many laws to restrict them but it was not applied for them.
The leaders are not only limited to famous and government official but also all matured
individual father or mother or brother or sister of individual family and organizations. As a
leader we have to show GOOD Examples to others, but what is the good example? This is the
problem, we don’t know the good example to others because we been incorrectly doctrinated by
the movies we idolized. As an example when I was in my youth, I was punched in my face and
what comes immediately into my mind, I remember the movie I saw when the actor was
punched, the actor immediately retaliated with a fist to show that he is a tough guy. But this is

wrong; correcting the wrong by applying wrong action is not the solution. If they throw you
stone throw them bread as written in the Manual of Mankind the Bible.
All seven of the great religions of the world have Golden Rules:
The Hindu: "The true rule is to guard and do by the things of others as you do by your own."
The Buddhist: "One should see for others the happiness one desires for oneself."
The Zoroastrian: "Do as you would be done to you."
The Confucian: What you do not wish done to yourself do not do to others."
The Mohammedan: "Let none of you treat your brother in a way he would dislike to be treated."
The Jew: "Whatever you do not wish your neighbor to do to you, do not unto him."
The Christian: "All things whatsoever ye would that men do unto you, do you even so to them."
All of this golden rules are good to the sight of men but Without TRUE and CORRECT
Foundation, in Proverbs 14:12, it is good to the sight of man but will lead to death” How can
we have foundation if no one knows what is right or wrong. No one read the correct foundation
that only can be found in the Manual of Mankind the Bible. Now I challenges every one of us
here as a pilot project, all of us read the Bible and we come back and meet again, there will be
big difference in you, each and everyone of us here will have different understanding from the
present, in opinion and in deeds. But how we read the Bible? In John his name is YahYah not
John because there was no letter J in his life time. YahYah 14:26 of the New testament ‘ The
Holy Spirit will be send by the Father in my Name, and that Holy Spirit will be the one to
teach you all things and remind you of everything the Messiah thought”. Our teacher is the Holy
Spirit and that Holy Spirit will be send by the Father Yahweh in Heaven thru the name
YAHSHU’A only, not on Jesus name of any other name. Therefore when we read the Bible we
have to restore the correct name of Yahshu’a whenever we find in the Bible the name Jesus we
have to restore the correct name Yahshu’a. Also in Old Testament and in New Testament
whenever we find God or LORD we have to replace it by the correct name of the Father in
Heaven which is YAHWEH. In doing this the Holy Spirit will come to us to teach you of all and
everything’s Yahshu’a thought. Bare in mind the reminder in Revelation 22:18 “………” we will
not be included in the plagues and curses because we restore the correct name of Yahweh and
Yahshu’a. Remember we are nor removing anything from the Bible, we are only restoring the
correct name that the writers removed from the original copy.
I thank the presence of all of individuals, the intellectuals, men and women of our society,
parents and children.
I thank the presence of the Dean of this school, the doctors in philosophy, the masters and
graduates. I also thanks the officials that invited me to this very healthy and mind opener
conference and I hope and pray that continuation of such will move forward the goal of each one
of us for the good of our society and for better regional and globalization understanding, and in
particular I pray for each and everyone of us to be a good example to others as we follow what
was written correctly in the Manual of Mankind the Bible. The Almighty Father Yahweh be with
us thru the correct name of our savior Yahshu’a Messiah, halleluYah

If any one interested in my book Pilipinas Ay Nasa Biblia 2004/ 2005, this is regarding the former name
of the Philippines is ‘Ophir’ that you can find in Grade 4 books of author Cynthia Danao. Ophir is in the
Bible and according to Historian Gregorio F. Zaide on his book Philippine History that Padre Chirino a
historian found that Tagalog has mystery and obscurities of Hebrew language, we have original 12
regions as 12 tribes of Yisrawale, we are kayumanggi or tan the color of skin of King Solomon the ruler
before the captivity of Yisrawale happened. The Sri-Visjaya and Datu and Sholtan are ancient Hebrew
words. Thank you very much.
