The Author

Revelations 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Having an account of the past, the present and the future, whatever God does, that's the way it's going to be, always.

Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him. That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires an account of what is past.

But there is one thing that God can not do.

Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,

Aside from the surprising truth that He can not lie, this sinful act of burning the innocents never ever come into His mind.

Jeremiah 19:4-5 “Because they have forsaken Me and made this an alien place, because they have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they, their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known, and have filled this place with the blood of the innocents (they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My mind),

Including the incident when the woman boiled and ate their own son sharing even some of the cooked flesh to others for supper.

2 Kings 6:28-29 Then the king said to her, “What is troubling you?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”

God is the beginning and the end, whatever happens in the middle will not affect or change the conclusion of the Story, perfectly made by the author in to His own delight.

Matter Of Choice

Celibacy is defined as the lifestyle of someone who is, and is striving to remain, unmarried all his/her life. It is also used to describe a state of life where one chooses to abstain from all sexual activities (also known as "continence"). Often, it is incorrectly used to refer a mixed or an involuntary or even temporary abstinence from sexual relations – celibacy is by definition a freely chosen state of being unmarried and practicing sexual abstinence.

Vegetarianism is the practice of following a diet based on plant-based foods including fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, nuts, and seeds, with or without dairy products and eggs. Vegetarians do not eat meat, game, poultry, fish, crustacea, shellfish, or products of animal slaughter such as animal-derived gelatin and rennet.

Both lifestyle & practice is a matter of choice & enforcing it as a doctrine of faith in order to deceive the faithful is against God & Christ.

1 Timothy 4:1-5 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

In fact, Peter was commanded to kill and eat animals.

Acts 10:12-15 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.”

Forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from foods, are forms of deceitful illusion in disguise to turn away someone from his faith.

Marry or not to marry, eat or not to eat, they are all acceptable. Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks.

Simple & Obvious

When it comes to religion, nobody will ever claim that theirs are not authentic. The question is, How do you know that their doctrine is from God? The answer is very simple and obvious. The evidence can seen clearly by the eye.

John 7:17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

The doctrine is already written but many are selective on what they are going to teach. May be because the practice is in existence since birth and introducing a new law will harvest disagreements from all sectors of society.

Details below are discussed already in my previous posts but I find it necessary to mention it again.

The Man with long hair is a disgrace unto him but the woman with long hair is her covering or protection against bad angels.

1 Corinthians 11:14-15 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

It is a hair covering & definitely it's not a hat, veil, turban, cap or anything that can be worn on the head. Therefore, cutting the hair of the woman is removing her covering or protection.

1 Corinthians 11:10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

God want women to get in there with the men in humility, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it. Imagine a woman going to Church with protruding cleavage, short shorts, backless & exposing her navel or nipple to arouse the desire of men.

1 Timothy 2:9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,

Announce this doctrine in a congregation then enforce it and let's see how many are left.

James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

Without Blemish

I wonder why the burnt offerings made unto God are without blemish. God is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.

Leviticus 22:19 you shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.

The offerings are to be eaten by the children of Aaron.

1 Corinthians 9:13 Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar?

Leviticus 6:18 All the males among the children of Aaron may eat it. It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings made by fire to the LORD. Everyone who touches them must be holy.

The offerings that comes from the good heart of the giver makes the children of Aaron holy or without blemish.

Matthew 23:19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

All these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

Matthew 5:23-24 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Live such good lives among the unbelievers that they may see your good deeds and glorify God.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

The gifts, the giver, the recipient of the gifts must therefore be without blemish to become holy in the eyes of God.

All Souls Day

It's All Souls Day again for the devotees and I just want to mention few things to remember.

First, the prayers and offerings for the dead has nothing to do with their salvation.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten.

Second, the dead don't have a day and visiting them to show your love and compassion is something the dead will never know.

Ecclesiastes 9:6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun.

Third, the dead shall be judged according to the works done while still living.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

Knowing that we shall be judged for our own sin, we can do nothing for the salvation of the dead.

Deuteronomy 24:16 “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.

What is All Souls Day then? Perhaps, a picnic, a gatherings or a family get together that can be done with or without the dead under.

The Wedding Ring

A wedding ring in marriage is one of the many inventions of man to evidence perhaps the bonding or union of man & woman. Wearing it on the left ring finger means that the man and woman is engaged to be married and if worn on the right ring finger it symbolizes that they are already married. The spouse wears it to indicate a marital commitment to fidelity although this not necessary because:

1 Corinthians 7:39 A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

Call it a symbol, ritual or caprice of a woman soon to be married, whatever the reasons may be, remember the very essence why that ring is worn on your finger.

Proverbs 7:1-3 My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.

So for the married and the engaged, the next time you look at your finger, think not of the giver, the price or the elegance of the ring, but to remember that it is the words of God that binds there.

Circumcision Of The Heart

Never thought that the gospel was preached to Abraham beforehand.

Galatians 3:8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.

Abraham was circumcised at the age of 99 years old - a covenant between him and God.

Genesis 17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.

Genesis 17:10-11 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

For he who is keeping the law, it is circumcision and will become uncircumcision when he breaks the law.

Romans 2:25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

It's not the cut of a knife that makes a Jew. You become a Jew by who you are.

Romans 2:29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

Abraham is a Gentile and was circumcised of the flesh, and so are we.

2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Indigenous People

The time of the end is now, where many shall run to and fro. The knowledge really has increased as evidenced by the emergence of online computers and transport system whether by air, by land or by sea.

Daniel 12:4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Indigenous people are doing natural or native things out of curiosity and everyone will like it for it is something very cool, awesome and extreme. They are down-to-earth and natural with their culture. Judging from the natural way they carry themselves down below, they are the number one advocates of clean air and safe environment. It is not only us who loves them, God loves them also for not destroying the earth.

Revelation 11:18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

Anybody from the existing bikers club can join this group by visiting Manila and we will lead you the way to Baguio City - The Home of the Indigenous People.

Do not ask me how they go up or go back to where they started. It is a tedious process but walkable and it is definitely good for the health.

Flirting With Men

Jeremiah 4:30 What are you doing, O devastated one? Why dress yourself in scarlet and put on jewels of gold? Why shade your eyes with paint? You adorn yourself in vain. Your lovers despise you; they seek your life.

Showing more skin with clear intention of flirting. Like infection that is transferable to others, inviting men having eyes full of adultery that cannot cease from sin. Unless the man looking is gay, it is like giving sugar to an Ant.

Isaiah 3:16 The LORD says, "The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles.

The sexually transmitted diseases are very alarming. Moreover the LORD says:

Isaiah 3:24 And so it shall be: Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench; Instead of a sash, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, baldness; Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.

Feel the lyrics of Stevie Wonder's song entitled Lately:

Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
'round my mind

Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With you say no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You don't know, never know

Well, I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
‘Cause they always start to cry
‘Cause this time could mean goodbye

An 8 Year Old Boy Punished For Stealing Bread

An 8 year old child was caught in a market in Iran for stealing bread.

In the name of Islam, he is being punished.

His arm was cut by a car and forever lost it.

Is this a religion of peace and love? or a religion of error and misinterpretation?

No religion can ever justify such crimes. What's happening in the name of Islam?

If tattooing is a sin against God, how much more with the cuttings of the arm?

Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD.

This is the problem when someone literally interpret the Scriptures not on its context.

Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

It is more correct to interpret the verse as "stop viewing bold movies" or "stop peeping your beautiful neighbor when taking a bath".

Matthew 5:30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

It is more correct to interpret the verse as "stop stealing".

Ephesians 4:28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

If you cut the hands, how can anyone work?

For if we interpret the verses literally, we all become nations of no arms, no eyes, no sexual organs etc., for we are all sinners in the eyes of God.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is not a just man on earth who does good And does not sin.

Tattoo Is A Sin Against God

The practice of tattoos and tattooing has different meaning depending on what culture you belong. In early years the most common reason for getting a tattoo is for decoration purposes only.

In some cultures tattoos were used as an identification of the wearer's status in a group. This is still done today by most tribes in Africa, Australia and the South Seas. In certain cultures you can't get a tattoo just because you want one. You will have to earn it. Boys reaching manhood receive one to mark that special occasion. Different styles are applied when men get married and so on. Mokos, Polynesian and Maori facial tattoos, are just applied on Warriors after they did something brave and heroic for the tribe.

The ancient Romans for example used to tattoo their slaves and criminals to recognize them easier, the same with most of the Jews in World War II.

The tattoo culture we have now in the western hemisphere began with sailors traveling to exotic foreign lands. The different tattoo motives they were carrying showed the different places they were stationed. A dragon, for instance, meant the wearer served on a station in China or Japan.

This is the commandment from God regarding such practice.

Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD.

This practice of tattoos and tattooing is a sin against God and must not be entertained by Christians. Body piercing which is a modern trend amongst youngsters (and some oldsters) is also included. It involves the inserting of metal objects anywhere in the body which are not necessary.

Who needs a tattoo or identification? We already have finger prints to differentiate one from the rest or better let the Angels of God do the sealing on the forehead.

Revelation 9:2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:

Revelation 9:2 Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God."

Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton

The much anticipated boxing match between Pacquiao vs Hatton is now in the final stage or is now close to finalizing a deal to meet in a 140-pound (63.5-kilogram) bout on May 2, 2009 9PM ET/6PM PT at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.’

Some details about the 2 fighters:

Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 KOs), who holds a lightweight belt, jumped up two weight divisions to meet De La Hoya, but will drop down one division to challenge Hatton, who defended his title with an 11th-round TKO of Paulie Malignaggi on Nov. 22, also at the MGM.

Ricky Hatton (45-1, 32 KOs), the junior welterweight world champion, would defend his 140-pound title against Pacquiao, the pound-for-pound king who on Dec. 6 dominated Oscar De La Hoya en route to an eighth-round TKO in a welterweight fight at the MGM Grand.

Enough of their details, let's talk biblical matters.

Boxers used the sign of the cross before and after their boxing bout. For what? That no harm shall happen to them during the fight? For Protection against evil ? or Praying, may be, that they should win the fight. Does this mean, they are (Christians) followers of Christ ?

Boxing is one profession that a Christian should not join.

1 Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Matthew 5:39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Meaning, if you let your opponent strikes your left and right cheek, no Christians can win any boxing bout anywhere.

Boxers thank their god for winning the boxing match, but, Is the God whom we fear and obey also pleased with their victory?

Lord's Supper Not To Eat And To Drink

Remember the Lord's supper?

Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Matthew 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

This is not the literal breaking of bread or the drinking of the grape wine. For when taken literally you are eating your own supper.

1 Corinthians 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

1 Corinthians 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

1 Corinthians 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

How can eating and drinking can sins be forgiven? If it is not to eat at the Lord's supper, what is it?

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Apostle Paul is not among the apostles of Jesus present in the Lord's supper. He only became an apostle when Jesus was already in heaven.

Not being present at the Lord's supper, Apostle Paul was made partakers, whereof he was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to him, to fulfill the word of God.

Breaking of the bread and eating it symbolizes the teachings or doctrines of Christ received and followed by the partakers.

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Drinking the cup of blood of Jesus symbolizes acceptance of the sufferings and afflictions of Christ.

Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Colossians 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

When we come together therefore into a worship, we come not to eat at the Lord's supper, but to hear the gospel of Christ.

All churches except one, highlighted more the rituals of eating and drinking than teaching the gospel.

Clearly, As followers of the teachings of Christ, we have sufferings to endure.

Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

I Have 2 Eggs

Ever heard of a Preacher asking the faithful to bring 2 eggs?

One may think it's an offering unto their god or may be later collected as a surprised gift to the less fortunate brethren.

I hope that when the Pastor requires the faithful to take out their 2 eggs, it will not confuse the male as to what egg to take out.

The Preacher also asks them to bring umbrella for the ladies & hat for the gentlemen. The bigger the hat or the umbrella, he said, the better.

At the time of gatherings, the gentlemen was advised to hold their 2 eggs in one hand and the hat on the other. The eggs symbolizes money, for the eggs allegedly will turn to gold spiritually not literally.

Likewise, the ladies to hold the eggs on one hand and the inverted umbrella on the other hand. Purposely inverted to catch the grace showered by their god from heaven.

After the prayer, the faithful was requested to altogether jump for 3 times with joy.

Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

What's intriguing is the fact that they endure it and remain followers of this false preacher no matter what. In fact, the park is full of devotees, rain or shine.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Now, Let's sing the false prophets egg song: I have two eggs the left & the right. Hold them up high so clean & bright. Clad them softly one two three. Clean little eggs are good to see.

Take Not the Name of the LORD thy God in Vain

Deuteronomy 5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Praise God, praise the Lord, Alleluia, Amen. These are the words we usually uttered in public most often or many times daily although we don't mean it. It's like an slipped of the tongue.

I usually hear these words in the Office from my born again friend to let us know that she is of God.

Just finding a lost ball pen, she will announce it with pride, praise God. Even for a small favor from an office mate, she will say it loud, praise the Lord, Alleluia, Amen.

Just a belch (throwing out of gas from stomach) after meal, she will announce it with pride, thanks God!

What men should see from a believer is the good works.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Thanking God always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ can be made by a prayer & spiritual songs.

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

In fact the ears of the Lord is open to the prayer of the righteous.

1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

I remember years ago, while attending a retreat, we are asked to make a prayer request addressed to God with our signature on it. They placed the letter in the altar and burned it. They said, it's like a burnt offerings made unto God.

Now I realized, for fear of Him, I will never again take His holy name in vain. Even writing His name on a piece of paper.

Psalm 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

Pray to the Father - Give Alms in Secret

People pray in different ways.

I saw Korean missionaries in our country formed a circle along the road, bow their heads and pray.

I saw catholic families & born again christian inside a restaurant & food court say a prayer before a meal.

I even saw a mass gatherings performed inside the mall & supermarkets.

But what is really the commandment of Jesus Christ about praying?

Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

In a literal sense, it is understood that closet and door are inside or part of a house.

Spiritual meaning according to bible scholars explained that the closet is your eyes and the door is your ear.

But how you do it in secret is another thing.

My friend said, I can say a prayer in public with my eyes closed & my ear not entertaining a noise without anyone noticing it. I said FINE, you're a genius.

Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Traveling from office to home, while inside a public transport jeep, I saw an old lady with her eyes closed holding a rosary. I noticed that her finger is transferring from one bead to the other beads of the rosary. Is she praying in secret? The fact that I saw her gives the impression that she is not praying in secret.

She called the driver to stop, but it's a no loading & unloading zone. The driver stops at the designated unloading zone. The old lady alighted but murmuring. What she says? I don't want to elaborate. It reminds me of a local song "Banal na Aso, Santong Kabayo". In English translation "holy dog, saint horse".

But Brother Ely, how about the giving of alms to street children? Can you do it in secret?

Matthew 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

I am also giving alms to street children. I am thankful if God reward me for doing that although it is a very small amount. But when you send him to School, pay for his hospitalization or give a house to dwell, will you have to broadcast that in public?

My friend said, of course not. But politicians did!

Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Baby Herbal Soup in China

People in Canton China supposedly use baby fetuses as the main ingredient of an herbal soup. Locally referred to as a spare rib soup, it is believed to improve health and sexual performance.

It also notes the prices of the dead fetuses, ranging from a few hundred to 4,000 U.S. dollars, with those babies who died naturally costing more than the aborted fetuses.

It is very disturbing to mention that most fetus served in local restaurants are female babies. This is due to the fact that majority of Chinese prefers to have male babies and those poorer families usually end up selling their female babies.

There have been no other proofs to validate the veracity of the report now proliferating in the emails which began circulating in 2001.

Other reports says that the images are of a doll’s head attached to the “body” of a duck.

Hoax or not, is it possible that people can do such a thing?

Jeremiah 19:4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

Jeremiah 19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:

Jeremiah 19:6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.

Babe burning, roasting, cooking, eating either for offering or a disguise for improving ones health - one thing is sure! It's an abomination to GOD.

This thought comes to my mind... Is China the new place called The valley of slaughter? Opps.....erase...erase...erase!

Water Against Evil

God used water to destroy evil from the earth.

Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

So it rained upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance was destroyed from the face of the earth.

Genesis 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

John the Baptist also used water in Baptism to wash away sins.

The Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

But what bothers me is the unclean spirits that enter & dwell in a man.

Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest,

If God saw that every thing (heaven & earth) he had made is good, where did the evil came from?

Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.

The evil came from Satan, who said in his heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Isaiah 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Evil therefore came from Satan not on the earth where good man dwells.

Job 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

The reason why we are advised to be sober, watchful, and firm in our faith.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

When unclean spirits walketh through dry places, why it enter & dwell in a man where man's body is scientifically proven as composed mostly of water.

The water in this instant case is the word of GOD where unclean spirits can never dwell.

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

If he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

Can a "holy water" cast out demons like what they are doing in exorcism?

Definitely not. You can spray all the water in the ocean and it will never cast out demons. What cast out demons is the word of God.
Matthew 8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

The presence of Jesus in this settings don't automatically cast them out until Jesus said unto them to go.

Matthew 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

See, swine can't bear with them but man let them in.

Necromancer - One Who Consults the Dead

No, this is not all souls day. I just feel obliged to include this in my blog after reading one passage in the scriptures about consulting the dead.

Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch

Deuteronomy 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

Deuteronomy 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

It is our family tradition to travel back to our home town yearly every November 1st to visit the tomb of my father.

Customarily, we offer prayers for his soul and inform him that his grandsons and grand daughters are there for him.

What's unusual is the thinking that he is there looking at us, guiding us and protecting us all the way, the usual of him when he is still alive.

At first glance, it's a sign of respect & humility but ultimately not rewarding.

Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

What's that again? Voluntary humility an abomination to GOD? The offering of prayers alone is an abomination unknowingly committed.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Ecclesiastes 9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Your next question may be - Are you still going there? My answer is, Yes of course but not on All Souls Day for the dead don't have a day!

Babe Baptism Not Necessary

The Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

If Baptism is washing away of sins, why baptize a babe? He or She can't even arise when you command him/her to do so.

I am a born Catholic but explanations regarding this practice, I can not comprehend. "It is the washing of the original sin of Adam & Eve" Huh, is that so!

Deuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskillfull in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

If the kingdom of heaven is definitely for the children, why baptize them? We are all paying for baptism, death, marriages, house blessings etc. But what is really the commandment to the Apostles?

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Now, you paid for your marriage? then your marriage is fake. You paid for your babe baptism then it is fake aside from being unauthorized and unnecessary.
