Message from God or from Christina Aguilera?

On this day, God wants you to know...

... that the answers are within you. You're chasing in the wrong field. What you are looking for is inside of you, not 'out there'. Take a few days off to become quiet and look within, and you will find it.

Looking within us for answers is a dangerous thing considering the Bible teaches that the heart of  man is deceitful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9). You may end up being deceived by yourself when you look inside for solutions to life's problems.

The answers are outside of us; they are found in God's written revelation namely the Holy Bible.

The counsel of this app is not from God. It sounds more like Christina Aguilera's Voice Within. Aguilera sings:

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within

Bad Anthropology from that Facebook App

Mensahe daw ng Diyos...

"... that there are no bad people, only people with bad ideas. Have compassion towards such people, and help them sober up from the influence of bad ideas."

On the contrary, people are already bad by nature even before they have conceived any idea. The Bible reveals our sinful nature even while we were still in our mothers' womb. Psalm 51:5 says "Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me." (NIV)

And because we are sinners by nature, our inclination is not to love godly ideas but to hate and suppress them (Rom.1:18). This is the reason why we need redemption that is in Christ Jesus-- the redemption that brings light to our darkened minds (2 Cor. 4:6)

Mensahe Daw ng Diyos...

"On this day, God wants you to know

... that you are commanded to love everyone, not condemn those who don't agree with you. Your opinions are just that, - opinions, regardless of where you got them from. They are tiny, a speck compared to the immensity of God. You cannot possibly have even the faintest idea of what God commands to other people, to other lifeforms. Your only possible intelligent choice is to continuously open in love and acceptance. Today more than yesterday."

--------------------------------

1. I find it absurd that this Facebook App that has so many opinions about God (and claims that its messages are from God himself) would say that our views on God are just mere opinions.

2. "... regardless of where you got them from"

Well if I get my view of God from the authoritative source namely the Bible, then it is not a mere opinion. It came from the very mouth of God. This raises an important question: Where does this app get its opinions about God?

3. "You cannot possibly have even the faintest idea of what God commands to other people, to other lifeforms."

Again I find it absurd that this app that claims to speak for God and frequently tells people to do something (in the imperative mood) would tell us that we cannot possibly have the faintest idea of what God commands other people. 

4. When I strongly oppose what a person believes about God, it does not necessarily mean that I am unloving. There is a way to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15)

Bitterness and Sour Graping Continues on Bro. Eddie's Facebook Fan Page

When Bro. Eddie wrote this letter to his supporters, I thought they would stop. I was wrong. The bitterness and sour graping continues:

i will not give up hoping for God will do something for our country and for us kabangon naniniwalang si BRO EDDIE VILLANUEVA ang instrument ng Diyos to changes our country..pipili lang sila ng dadayain yung pang pinili ng Diyos, di ba sila natatakot sa gagawin ng Panginoon sa kanila at sa mga taong nag paloko at nagpab...ili...Vengeance is not ours ..EXPECT D UNEXPECTED FROM GOD..HE WILL TWIST AND TURN sa tama ang sitwasyon isasalamin nya eto sa buong sambayanang Filipino...excited na ako at kaming mga OFW..GOD BLESS BRO EDDIE AND D PHILIPPINES..
-----------------------------------
 I believe God will do something that we will all be amazed, in fact He is already moving. Ang dami na pong naglilitawan na mga anomalya sa pandaraya sa eleksyon. Ang malaking pagkakamali na naman nila ay ang pagtalaga ng maliit na numero sa mga votes kay Bro Eddie. Constantly he was only receiving around 3% accross the... board. if 3-5millions pa ang itinalaga nila, wala siguro masyadong reaction ang mga Pinoy, so magiging acceptable yung number. pero yung 1million votes lang? it's very far to possibility, considering the fact that a lot of different sectors have pledged their support to Bro Eddie all around the country. As far as I know ngayon lang nagkaroon ng pagkakaisa ang mga religious group including the Muslim community. 1MILLION votes? IMPOSSIBLE!
-----------------------------------
 saka nasan ung mga UV lamps na binili ng comelec?..

respect everyones opinion, pero eto po ang opinion ko:

Kung maaalala mo binaboy n ung boto

ng Electronic PCOS Garci ung BOTO KO at BOTO MO at BOTO NG BODY OF
CHRIST AT MGA MUSLIM at LAHAT ng Taong nanindigan sa pagbabago???
Kung walang
maninindigan sa a...tin paikot-ikot nalang mangyayari at puro ... KASINUNGALINGAN
na lang ang lulunukin natin....
Di ba we want CHANGE....? Pano mababago
ang ganitong uri ng sistema sa election kung mananahimik na lang tayo!
DI PA TPOS ANG LABAN...HANGGAT WALA PANG FINALITY MAY CHANCE PA RIN SA PAGBABAGO!
GOD WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH IN DUE TIME!!!

HONESTLY SINO SA INYO ANG NANINIWALA NA 1MILLION LANG ANG NAKUHANG BOTO NI BRO EDDIE???? SINO??????
THERE IS REALLY A BIG CONSPIRACY ON THESE!!!
-----------------------------------------------
In the precinct where i voted, i have found out that only 28 out of 948 voters voted for Bro. Eddie, according to the Comelec ER's. But then what literally shock me is that i personally know that most of my folks voted in that precinct. The votes could have reach to a hundred or more atleast.

 please BE INFORMED....COMPUTE ALL THE RESULTS OF EVERY PRICINCTS IN PERCENTAGE... YOU WILL COME UP WITH 3% AVERAGE VOTES FOR BRO.EDDIE...
THIS IS THE FORMULA USED IN MANIPULATING THE RESULT OF ELECTION...
----------------------------------
That's right.. Last May 11, right after the election. Naglabas sila ng result na tumpak na tumpak na percentage sa survey. Parang kinurot ang puso ko nung time na yun. 5am in the morning nung May 11, I already knew that there's really a dauntingly massive election fraud happening.
---------------------------------
mahusay talaga sila ha! muko mong 50 milyon voters alam nila ang saktong porsyentong makukuha ng kandidato 3% sa survery pati sa actual voting WOW!!!! mahusay talaga ginagawang bobo ang mga tao!!!! magbago na kayo!!!!!!
----------------------------------------
Tingnan nyo po... Look-a-like ba sa survey results? Indeed, the first ever Philippine automated election was manipulated!!!

 "nagtext ung pastor from cotobato na si Bro. Eddie ay landslide s mindanao at maguindanao pati mga baptist nagulat sa resulta ng boto..Please pray n iexpose yung mga gumawa ng kalokohan" - text 1 of the pastor in mindanao
----------------------------------
IN THE FIRST DAY OF COMELEC TALLY UP TO NOW... CONSISTENT 3% BRO.EDDIE...

PLS. BE INFORMED THAT BRO.EDDIE IS CONSISTENTLY 3%IN THE SURVEY...

MIND CONDITIONING TACTICS NG MANIPULATORS...
----------------------------------

Yan din ang naisip ko na yung SWS at False Asia ang 3% ni BRo Eddie ay ginawa nila talagang 3% sa actual voting tyak na nakaprogram na iyon sa kanila na 3% lang dapat ang pumasok sa kanya

How John Piper uses Twitter

I hope you'll see principles of Twitter use that could also be applied to others such as blogging, Friendster, Facebook, fora (or should I say forums), etc. He calls these technologies as "gifts that God has given us" yet at the same time he recognizes the dangers that go with them, so we should be careful on how we use them.
