yung Diyos pumatay for the better good pero hindi pwedeng tawaging murder yun kasi sya naman ang may ari ng buhay. binawi nya lang ang buhay na binigay nya. kung ako tatanungin pabor ako sa death penalty :flamedevil: :flamedevil: 
i wouldn't put it exactly like that pero somewhat. natural selection favors characteristics that are beneficial to the species or race.VincH wrote:meron bang evolutionist dito? totoo ba na ang natural selection ay "discards the bad then keeps the goods"?

duduguin ilong mo. St. Aquinas has a genius level mind.VincH wrote:hindi ko pa nabasa yang mga yan. i add ko yan sa mga to-read list ko.@Vinch... I see you can quote most of the books from the Bible... I'd just like to ask if you have ever read other literature that leans towards Christianity such as Summa Theologiae by St. Thomas Aquinas (or just the quinque viae of it) or The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri...
The Catholic Church teaches that we shouldn't resort to it, but at the same time leaves the possibility for it should it serve the greater good of mankind. For example, its not okay to kill one rapist, but its probably okay to kill someone like Hitler.Xezcente wrote:Guys, may tanong ako. What does the Bible or the Christian faith has to say on Death Penalty?
Simple curiosity.
The problem here is we are not the keepers of knowledge. We do not know by ourselves. The folly of many modern protestant faiths is they think we by ourselves can discern the Bible. It is absolutely not true. Never in the history of the people of God that they took it upon themselves to interpret scripture by themselves. The Jews never did it, the early Christians never did it, why all of a sudden we are doing it today?kirsh_natural wrote: I have a question for believers: When reading the Bible, how do you know which ones are written figuratively or literally? Which ones are "dated" or "eternal"?
ganun ba? hindi ko na lang babasahinduduguin ilong mo. St. Aquinas has a genius level mind.

hindi lang sa translation eh. words can be very limiting. puwede ako mag sabi ng isang sentence dito sa pinoyps, at may 100 people na magkakaroon ng 100 different interpretations kung ano talaga gusto ko sabihin. halimbawa yung paborito kong hirit na "hype lang yan". ano ba talaga ibig sabihin nun? siyempre ako lang makaka pag explain kung ano ibig ko sabihin, at kung sino lang sabihan ko siya lang makakaintindi. dapat yung pinagsabihan ko, sasabihin din sa iba. yung mga hindi nakatanggap ng paliwanag ko, hindi nila alam kung ano talaga gusto ko sabihin. chambahan na lang kung may makatamaVincH wrote:^i agree to a certain extent. yung vocabulary kasi nung unang panahon eh limited at yung pagka translate iba ang pagkaintindi nila from the original hebrew words. nagtataka nga ako bakit yung iba naghahanap ng mga bagong terms sa bible eh 2-3k years ago pa naisulat yun.

Ahhh... so they found the book that might be the one mentioned in Revelations...
why are we looking more towards these things? hindi pa ba tayo kuntento sa sinasabi ng Simbahan sa atin?zmed_08 wrote:Ahhh... so they found the book that might be the one mentioned in Revelations...
If it is the mentioned book, this would lead to more speculation/fear about/or 2012...
But I am interested in these codices...
