How True That Word is Sharper Than Sword

Image via Wikipedia Lapu-Lapu

Some Filipinos claimed that Magellan spread Christianity in the Philippines through friendship before people had accepted Christianity. However, I am still doubtful for that claim - my reason is that if Magellan really utilized friendship to spread Christianity in the country, there will be no bloody fight occurred between him and Lapu-Lapu that led to his death! I can say it now that Magellan used also swords to propagate Christianity not like Makdum, an Arabian missionary used his persuasive powers to introduce Islam in Philippines.

Many of us Filipinos are not aware that Islam is 141 years older than Christianity in the Philippines. 

The Christian religion came to our land when, on March 16, 1521, Ferdinand Magellan landed on Homonhon Island of Samar on an expedition sent by King Philip of Spain. The primary objective of the expedition was to conquer some spicy islands and to spread Christianity. The inhabitants of Homonhon Island, who were pagans, were the first to be converted.

The expedition took Magellan and his forces to Panay and Cebu also. While the people of Panay accepted the new religion, Lapu-Lapu in Cebu opposed him. A war ensued, and Magellan was killed. Following his death, King Philip sent more expeditions, with soldiers and preachers, to spread Christianity. As a result, the Philippines became the first Christian country in Asia.

In contrast to the general welcome Christianity received in the archipelago, it found resistance in Mindanao where the inhabitants were already Muslims. Makdum/Mukdum, an Arabian missionary and scholar who arrived in Tubig Indangan, in 1380, introduced Islam in the Philippines. He introduced Islam with his persuasive powers.

The point I wanted to make is that Islam is not an interloper that came to a Christian country. It has been in the Philippines for approximately 631 years, compared to the 490 years that Christianity has been there. 

In 1990 records, the Christian population in Philippines has reached to 91.5 percent of the total population compared to 5 percent of our brother Muslim Filipinos. And the other 3.5 percent are comprising other religions.

I still remember that during my elementary, high school and college days no teachers taught me about Islam that is part of Philippine history.  

Does The Holy Bible is Keeping False Records--how to Convert Degrees to Minutes

Image via Wikipedia

Published on Relijournal, Feb 20, 2011 Category - Religion

A day is equivalent to 360 degrees. Twenty-four hour is equivalent to 1,440 minutes. From these equivalents, we will determine how true that there was really a missing day in the Universe since it was believed that it was only a fictitious story.

If it was a fictitious story – does it mean the Holy Bible is keeping false records of what happened during the biblical period especially during the period of the Prophets.

If the story written in the Holy Bible is not really true – why until now nobody deleted it especially those sections about Joshua and 2Kings.

If you read the Holy Bible – you might already read this section that tells “The sun stood still and the moon stayed — and hasted not to go down about a whole day”. It can be read at (Old Testament, Book of Joshua, Chapter 10, verses 12-13) and that whole day is equivalent to 350 degrees.

While in 2Kings, Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said “Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?” Hezekiah said “It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward 10 degrees.” Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD!

Now the conversion: At Joshua the sun hasted not to go down about a whole day which equals to 350 degrees or equivalent to 23 hours and 20 minutes. At 2Kings, the shadow of the sun returned backward 10 degrees or equivalent of 40 minutes. So if we will add – 350 degrees + 10 degrees, the sum is 360 degrees or a whole day.

Based from the given - One degree = 4 minutes. If we will multiply 360 degrees by 4 minutes, it is equals to 1,440 minutes. If we will divide the 1,440 minutes by 60 minutes, it is equals to 24 hours.

At Joshua which was 350 degrees multiplied by 4 minutes is equals to 1,400 minutes. At 2Kings which was 10 degrees multiplied by 4 minutes is equals to 40 minutes. 1,400 minutes plus 40 minutes is equals to 1,440 minutes. Are you still doubtful about the Bible records?
