We preach, teach, Evangelize; You decide

Hello, and greeting from the Lord Jesus Christ: the Lamb of God who take away the sin of the world. Kababayan, I'm one of those millions of Filipinos who left our beloved Country seeking a better life which our land of the Orient could not offer. During my college years, I'm not doing so good on college rigorous academia, and with that situation I'm so desperate to find some other alternatives to better my life and get out of poverty all together.

Another factor that contributed my desperation to leave the country was the declaration of Martial Law (1972) by our late champion elected President Ferdinand Marcos; who decided to be a horrible dictator later in his career: bless his soul. At that time I thought my world just sunk into deep abyss where getting out of this darkness would be a work of miracle.

Atlas a window of opportunity came into the scene, and I took advantage of that opening and won't let go. I read an article in the news paper that the United States Navy is looking for a few good men that can join them in their pursuit of exploring the world while having a wholesome career of your own. I took the challenge and put in my application to their call, and months later I got a response to take the exam and of course a nerve racking interview.

The day before the exam, as a faithful Roman Catholic boy I came to realize that I needed my God to help me go through this opportunity without any snag. Believed it or not, I cried to the Lord God that if in anyway He can help me passed the exam and the interview, I will be so greatfull in His grace and kindness all the day of my life. Lo and behold my prayer the day before the exam was answered with flying colors. I would not be writing this part of my life if God had not pour out his grace upon me in that day. Therefore, I give credit to my God and Lord all these years for carrying my burden upon his shoulders.

After 38 years had passed, my God the creator, My Savior, Redeemer, and my Rock called me to this ministry to bring the Gospel of His Only Begotten Son to the world; the Lord Jesus Christ which is the only mediator between God and man.

My request to God the Almighty in this ministry is to minister to my own kababayan (countrymen), because as I already hinted that I 'm a former Roman Catholic boy who left my beloved country to seek better life and to get out from poverty. I know for a fact that it would be offensive for most of us to know that the Roman catholic Church is not the way to heaven, but the way to hell, and it would be a great deal for all of us Roman Catholic if we are going to hear the Word of God at its face value so that we can make a biblically well informed decision whether leaving the Roman Catholic faith is for the better or for the worst. But I could assure you that after you have fully understood the intent of the word of God, leaving the Roman Catholic faith would be a gift and a blessing to you and your family. I have read a book concerning priests that left the Roman Catholic faith, becuase they have read the Bible honestly and understood what great the Lord Jesus Christ had done for them on the Calvary cross. There are numerous priests, and nuns that left the Roman Catholic faith, because they perfectly understood that Roman Catholic faith is not the way to heaven but hell. I'm sharing this thought because God loves you so much, and He is not willing that anyone of my kababayan will perish in hell, but can come to His Eternal Kingdom someday. Apostle John wrote this: ''For God so loved the world, that he gave his Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth (believed) in him should not perish (hell) , but have everlasting life''. (John 3:16)

If you remember apostle Paul while on the way to Damascus road in pursuit to bring all those who left Judaism and followed Jesus Christ to justice, instead he came face to face with the risen Lord Jesus Christ in person. Apostle Paul who was a Pharisee, and strictly a follower of Judaism came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord. At that very moment of his marvelous converstion (salvation) he left Judaism for good and never look back. Indeed apostle Paul faithfully followed the Lord Jesus Christ and preached the gospel of Christ which is the power of God unto Salvation until God himself took him home. Fact is apostle Paul wrote 13 epistles of the New Testament, and if we count the book of Hebrews, all in all he wrote 14 epistles of the New Testament Bible. During Paul's missionary journey, countless Jews and Gentiles came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior and Lord. Fact is, many Jews left Judaism, and countless Gentiles left their idols and placed their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.

God the Father who loved the world (humanity) is not willing that we human beings the apex of his creation would just perish in hell, but would have the opportunity to come to Him in repentance and accept His Only Begotten Son: the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. Sin of course is the culprit why we needed salvation, because sin is the way to hell, and the Lord Jesus Christ is the only person who can cleanse us from all sins (unrighteousness). As we all know that the Bible is the Word of God preserved for our own idification and learning concerning God, Salvation, Hell, Heaven, doctrines, and all religious practices that we might want to keep. Therefore, the only way a person could be certain whether his eternal destiny is secured in Christ Jesus, he/she have to come to God in repentance and placed his/her faith in Christ Jesus as the only Savior and Lord.

The teachings of Roman Catholic Church such as rosary, pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for the dead, purgatory, Pope as the vicar of Christ, Eucharist (wine becoming blood, and wafers becoming flesh), baby Jesus (st. nino), indulgence, sacraments were invented by sinful men like us. These are not the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, at best these are obstructions for a person to see and hear the truth. Jesus Christ the Only begotten Son of God did not talked about rosary, eucharist, sacraments, these teachings mentioned above were the invention of unconverted men of cloth.
