Understanding Physical Death and the Life Beyond

Jun P. Espina October 3, 2016February 15, 2020

A few months after her public announcement of her illness, Senator Miriam Santiago of the Philippines, said: "I licked cancer in three months." She ran for president in May 2016 election and less that five months after, she died. Death is a cruel master. He has the power to kill a janitor or a senator. Understanding physical death from the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures is, therefore, second to none in significance.

Powers of Darkness Hover Philippine Politics

Jun P. Espina September 20, 2016February 15, 2020

The people and the drug-lord killers seem to have been overshadowed and controlled by one and the same spirit from the biblical point of view. We note that they enjoyed the killings of suspects ostensibly even if they were a "cardboard justice" as they call it--just like killing chickens, to borrow from the self-confessed DDS witness Edgar Matobato.

Different Views on Politics, Truth—Real Christianity

Jun P. Espina March 5, 2013February 17, 2020

In politics, the followers of Christ are instructed not to be rebels of the duly instituted authority but rather to pray for their leaders. Some leaders of pseudo-Christian groups went to the mountains during the period of Dictator Marcos in the Philippines and became rebels and combatants. Such wasn't <a href="https://bythisverse.com/born-spirit-god/">fundamental Christianity</a>. Here is Christ's teaching: "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." (Mark 12:17).

Death Penalty is Anti-God?

Jun P. Espina November 24, 2012March 15, 2020

Death penalty is one issue that has severely divided the brilliant opinions of our day. The moralists and self-righteous ones, including the so-called religious and intellectuals, have joined forces in ringing so loudly the bell of protest that the unlearned and poor-minded become easy captives of their eloquence. "End to the death penalty," they cried vehemently, "for humanitarian reasons; for we are pro-life!" What a slogan is it? Indeed, the deaf in spirit will want to hear it. A loud and clear sympathy for life, "anti-death penalty" is a cause worthy of everyone's support!
