I anticipate this will be a lengthy discussion, so I’ll divide it into three parts. Recently, my faith was challenged again when I came across a TikTok video. The video compared two different versions of Isaiah 9:6: one from the King James Version (KJV) and the other from the Septuagint (LXX). The verses read as follows:"

KJV (Isaiah 9:6):
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

Focus: This verse in the KJV emphasizes the birth of a child who will have titles denoting divine qualities: "Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
Context: Christians interpret this as a Messianic prophecy about Jesus Christ, underscoring His divine nature and roles.

SEPTUAGINT (LXX Isaiah 9:6):
In the Septuagint, the numbering of verses in Isaiah is different. What we know as Isaiah 9:6 in the Masoretic Text is found in Isaiah 9:5 in the Septuagint:

"Because a child was born to us, a son was given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder, and his name is called the Angel of Great Counsel, for I will bring peace upon the rulers, peace, and health to him."

Differences:
"Angel of Great Counsel": This is a significant variation from the Masoretic Text. Instead of titles like "Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God," the LXX refers to the child as the "Angel of Great Counsel."

No direct mention of titles like "The Mighty God" or "The everlasting Father": The Septuagint’s wording focuses on divine guidance and peace, rather than emphasizing divine titles that directly imply God-like status.

Why does this matter? The Septuagint does not include the divine titles of Jesus Christ, which form the very core of our Christian belief—that Jesus is God. Instead, in the Septuagint, He is referred to as the 'Angel of Great Counsel,' portraying Him as a messenger rather than God. This, in my opinion, undermines His right to be worshiped being God, as it suggests He is merely an angel and not divine.

My initial thought was: Have we been misled? After all, the Septuagint is a translation of Hebrew into Greek and is highly influential in early Christian thought, playing a significant role in shaping early theology."

"Feeling challenged by this, I decided to dig deeper and do my own research. I’ll share what I discovered in Part 2."

Good things take time because true growth and success are gradual. Whether it’s building a career, developing a relationship, or mastering a skill, the process requires patience and dedication. Quick results often lack the depth and foundation needed for lasting fulfillment. Taking the time to nurture and refine something allows it to mature fully, leading to more meaningful and rewarding outcomes. Embracing the journey, with its challenges and delays, fosters resilience and personal growth. In the end, the time invested makes the success, joy, or achievement all the more satisfying and enduring.

"IN HONOR OF MY TATAY."

As I observe the 18th anniversary of my father's passing, I want to take a moment to celebrate his life and the values he instilled in me. One of the most profound lessons I learned from him was that “children have no obligation to repay their parents; instead, it is the parents who bear the responsibility to be good stewards of their sons and daughters.”

Pedro P. Gorero, my father, was a simple country boy from Hamtic, Antique. A high school graduate, he had dreams like any other young man. His heart was set on becoming a lawyer, but economic hardships stood in the way of that dream. Despite this, he never allowed his circumstances to limit his hopes for a better future.

He met my mother, and together they raised five children—two sons and three daughters. Even without a college education, my father’s determination never wavered. When I was still their only child, he took a brave leap and crossed the sea from Antique to Manila in search of a better life for us. He began as a porter at North Harbor and worked his way through various jobs, always striving to provide for his growing family.

When he secured a position as a store salesman on Avenida Rizal, he brought us all to Manila, reuniting our family. Yet, with four more siblings to support, his salary wasn’t enough, so he decided to become a taxi driver. This decision gave us a bit more comfort and stability during difficult times.

Then, hardship struck when my mother fell ill, depleting our family’s savings. We endured years of struggle, but through it all, my father’s unwavering tenacity saw us through.

What I will always remember about my Tatay is his relentless fight against life’s challenges to ensure our survival. He may not have had the advantage of higher education, but he more than made up for it with grit, determination, street smarts, deep faith in God, and boundless love for his family.

My father was a devout reader of the Bible, often engaging in debates with people from other religious beliefs. Perhaps, it was his faith and the comfort he found in God’s mercy that gave him the strength to carry on.

When I had children of my own, my Tatay became a doting grandfather. My kids adored their Lolo, and he spoiled them with love, never turning them away when they asked for a "piso." His tenderness toward them showed the same boundless love he had always shown us.

My siblings and I are incredibly proud of our Tatay, and we miss him dearly every day. His memory lives on in our hearts, and his legacy of perseverance, faith, and love will forever guide us.

PRACTICE SHOOTING. I tried practicing my shooting skills with my reluctant companion, RuffNut. RuffNut, a cat who tragically lost her left eye when she fell ill, had the unfortunate experience of her eyeball melting away. She's one of 69 felines that call this household their home.

OUR KIDS ARE NOT OUR RETIREMENT PLAN. This is the core of the problem. Filipino culture has a deeply ingrained belief and expectation that children are their parents' retirement plans. The mentality is, "After I put you through school, you owe it to me, my child." This is WRONG! I repeat: your children are not your retirement plan! Raising and educating them does not mean they are obligated to ensure your comfort in old age. Children should not be burdened with the responsibility of repaying a debt of gratitude in this way.

I wrote a content a long time ago, that we should never expect rewards, especially from our children, as repayment for what we’ve done for them. We shouldn’t.

Remember, they didn’t choose to be born. They had no say in the matter when, after making love with your partner, a beautiful new life began—not their choice, but yours.

If our children had the chance to choose their parents before they were born, can you imagine what they might choose?

One day, our children will become parents themselves and will face the same challenges, struggles, pain, and joy that we’ve experienced. That will be their way of understanding and repaying us. The way they parent their own children will be your reward, your trophy.

This article on parenting with love isn't written from the perspective of an expert or a perfect father. It's based on my own experiences, and my struggles to be the best father I can be, though I often fall short. I haven’t read many parenting books, but I’ve picked up ideas from short articles and my own journey.

I’ve been a parent for 24 years, facing countless struggles, frustrations, and heartaches, as well as joy and happiness. But I don’t claim to be better than anyone else. My journey to be the best parent continues until the day I die, and I may never fully know how I’ve done.

With their mom working abroad, I’ve raised my three children with three key principles: love, perseverance, and forgiveness. Techniques and tactics come second.

Now that they’re all grown up and established in their careers, God knows I’ve never asked any of them for help. If I were to struggle, it wouldn’t be their fault. But that won’t happen—I’m very happy with my life because I prepared for my old age with the mindset that they are NOT my retirement plan.

Wishing you happy and blessed parenting. Never forget to seek God’s help—after all, He is the greatest parent of all time.

Age Gracefully

What is Chronological Aging?
Chronological age is simply the number of years, months, and days that have elapsed since your birth. It is the most straightforward way to measure a person's age.

What is Biological Aging?
Biological aging, in contrast, refers to the gradual accumulation of damage and contaminants in cells and tissues that leads to the deterioration of bodily functions. Unlike chronological age, biological age considers various factors beyond just the number of years you've lived, including genetics, nutrition, lifestyle, diseases, and other conditions.

For instance, a 28-year-old man who leads a sedentary lifestyle, eats poorly and has smoked heavily for the past decade may have a biological age significantly older than his chronological age. On the other hand, someone 64 years old but maintains a healthy lifestyle may have a biological age closer to that of a much younger person.

Healthy Aging
Aging is inevitable; no product or service can reverse the natural process. However, you can aim to age healthily by adopting a few key habits:

Eat Well
A balanced diet rich in nutrients can help maintain your health and vitality.

Sleep Well
Adequate rest is crucial for overall well-being.

Keep Moving
Regular physical activity improves heart and lung function, increases endurance, and reduces fatigue. It also helps in maintaining muscle mass and flexibility, which can prevent injuries and improve quality of life.

Balance Exercises: Reduce the risk of falling.
Strength Exercises: Build muscle mass and reduce osteoporosis risk.
Endurance Exercises: Enhance heart and lung health (e.g., swimming, walking, biking).
Stretching: Maintain flexibility and ease in daily activities.
Nourish, Protect, and Renew Cells
Focus on consuming foods that promote cellular health.

Unwind
Manage stress through relaxation techniques.

Connect
Maintain social connections to support mental and emotional health.

Practical Steps to Improve Biological Age
Exercise Regularly

Improves heart function and lowers resting heart rate.
Benefits those with high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis.

Maintain a Healthy Weight
Reduces the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Maintain a Healthy Shape

Aim for a healthy waist-to-hip ratio and waist circumference.
Eat Foods with a Low Glycemic Index

Include fruits, vegetables, beans, low-fat dairy, and high-fiber whole grains.
Avoid fast food, white bread, and soda.
Be Aware of Nutrients

Understand what constitutes a healthy diet and read nutrition labels.

Conclusion
While your chronological age will continue to increase, adopting healthy lifestyle changes can improve your biological age, potentially making you feel younger and more vibrant.

In My Lifetime and Beyond

Never in my lifetime
Did I imagine or foresee
This invisible dread
That snatches life so mercilessly.

Unseen and unknown,
Its origins a mystery profound,
But now it’s known by all
In every city and town.

Dreadful as it is,
People still play hide and seek,
But this is not a game
You can smooth away like a crease.

Experts here and experts there,
With their warnings and advice,
But what can we trust
From the man with the golden hair?

His words float in the air,
Full of empty flair,
And listening to his proclamations,
I wonder if he even cares.

Anger fuels this song,
For something is surely wrong,
The news today confirms
What I’ve suspected all along.

What can we do? When will it end?
No one truly knows,
We must rely on science,
On numbers and our own critical prose.

For this dread will blend
Into the fabric of our days,
A challenge to contend with
In countless ways.

In my lifetime and beyond.

BIBLE STORIES: Moses and the Burning Bush
The story of Moses and the Burning Bush is one of the Bible's most dramatic and significant encounters, found in Exodus 3:1-15. This narrative marks the moment when Moses, who would become one of the greatest leaders in biblical history, received his divine calling to liberate the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.

Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian. While leading the sheep to the far side of the wilderness, he came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from within a bush. Although the bush was on fire, the flames did not consume it. Moses, intrigued by this strange sight, approached the bush to investigate why it did not burn up.

As Moses drew near, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses, Moses!" Moses replied, "Here I am." God then instructed him to remove his sandals, for the place where he was standing was holy ground. God introduced Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Moses hid his face, afraid to look at God.

God told Moses that He had seen His people's misery in Egypt and heard their cries for deliverance. He revealed His plan to rescue the Israelites and bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey. God then commanded Moses to go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Moses, hesitant and unsure of his ability to fulfill such a monumental task, questioned God. He asked, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" God assured Moses that He would be with him and gave him a sign: when Moses brought the people out of Egypt, they would worship God on that very mountain.

Moses further inquired about what he should tell the Israelites when they asked who sent him. God replied, "I AM WHO I AM. Tell them 'I AM has sent me to you.'" This declaration revealed God's eternal and self-existent nature. God also reaffirmed His covenant with the patriarchs, promising to bring the Israelites out of their oppression in Egypt.

The encounter at the burning bush is pivotal, highlighting God's intervention in history and His selection of Moses as the leader of His people. It underscores themes of divine revelation, holy ground, and the reluctance of human messengers. Moses' initial hesitation and subsequent obedience illustrate a powerful dynamic of human frailty and divine empowerment.

This story also emphasizes God's faithfulness to His promises and His active presence in the lives of His people. The burning bush, a symbol of God's enduring and unconsumed presence, serves as a reminder of the sacredness of His calling and the transformative power of His word.

SAAN BA GALING ANG "BORN AGAIN."

There was a significant stir on social media following the news that celebrities Catriona Gray, Kristine Reyes, Dominique Roque, and Marco Gumabao publicly declared their faith as born-again Christians by getting baptized at Favor Church last Sunday. This event garnered a range of reactions from netizens, including encouraging congratulations and criticisms from those questioning their decision in faith.

As someone sharing their faith journey, I feel compelled to address those who inquire: Why did they make this choice? What were their beliefs before? Were they Muslim or not Christians previously? What does it mean to be a "born again" Christian?

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a preacher, pastor, or Bible scholar, but I do read my Bible. Similar to these celebrities and others, I was born a sinner. Now, like Catriona, Kristine, Dominique, Marco, and other born-again Christians, I've found salvation from damnation through God's grace in Jesus' Name and I identify myself as a born-again Christian.

Here is my post.

EARLY CHRISTIANS

Before the term "Christians was used to identify followers or believers of Jesus Christ, they were commonly referred to as "disciples," "believers," "brothers and sisters" or "followers of the Way" until it was first mentioned in the Books of Acts 11:26 not by the Christian themselves but most likely coined by the non-Christian population of Antioch as a way to identify the new religious group that was emerging and became a form of public recognition for the group of Jesus Christ followers and believers. This happened in Antioch modern-day Turkey, which was one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire and a major center of trade and culture.

DIVISION INTO NUMEROUS DENOMINATIONS

Christianity's division into numerous denominations is a result of doctrinal disagreements, cultural and political influences, geographical spread, social and economic factors, and differences in church governance. Each denomination reflects a unique interpretation and practice of the Christian faith, shaped by historical circumstances and ongoing theological development. Despite these divisions, many Christians and denominations emphasize the core tenets of Christianity and seek unity in diversity.

THE "BORN AGAIN" MOVEMENT

The "born again" movement is rooted in biblical teachings and has been shaped by various historical and theological developments, from the Reformation and Pietism to the Great Awakenings and modern evangelicalism. It emphasizes personal conversion and a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ, influencing millions worldwide and playing a significant role in spiritual growth in both religious and cultural contexts.

While the "born again" movement doesn't have a single founder, it has been shaped by various influential figures and religious movements over the centuries. Key contributors include early reformers like Martin Luther, pietists like Philipp Jakob Spener, revivalists like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, leaders of the Holiness and Pentecostal movements like Charles Finney and William J. Seymour, and 20th-century evangelists like Billy Graham. Each of these played a crucial role in emphasizing the necessity of personal conversion and a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ.

WHY "BORN AGAIN" CHRISTIANITY IS MUCH IDENTIFIED AS PROTESTANT FAITH?

The prime movers of the "born again" movement have largely been non-Catholics, predominantly from various Protestant traditions. These figures and movements emphasized personal conversion, direct experience of faith, and individual transformation, aligning with broader Protestant theological and historical trends. While the Catholic Church acknowledges the importance of personal faith, its approach to spiritual rebirth is more closely tied to sacramental theology, particularly the sacrament of baptism.

However, whether you are a Protestant, Catholic, Eastern or Oriental Orthodox, Jehovah's, Independent and Non-denominational faith, or whatever religious organization unless you are "born again" you will not enter the gate of heaven.

“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God,” said Jesus. (John 3:3)

ABOUT INFANT BAPTISM.

There is no direct command or explicit mention of infant baptism in the Bible, proponents base the practice on a combination of household baptism passages, Jesus' inclusive attitude towards children, and theological parallels between circumcision and baptism. The practice is also supported by early church tradition and writings of the Church Fathers therefore this will fall under the tradition and assumptions of those who practice.

BIBLE IS OUR ONLY SOURCE AND FOUNDATION OF OUR FAITH.

Born-again Christians, particularly those within the evangelical tradition, often adhere to the principle of "sola scriptura," which means "Scripture alone." This principle holds that the Bible is the ultimate and final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

WHY I AM WRITING THIS? As the lyrics in the song Praise by Elevation Worship - "I won't be quiet, my God is alive
How could I keep it inside?"

PRAISE THE LORD ALL MY SOUL

I hope this post will bless the soul of even just one person.

Parenting with Love: My Journey As a Single Parent

(I wrote this article on my blog about 15 years ago. After revisiting and making some editing, I'm happy to share it again.)

Parenting with love has worked well for me. I'm not a parenting expert, nor do I claim to be an exceptional father I am imperfect with many dysfunctions. But I've learned that effective parenting requires three main ingredients: love, perseverance, and forgiveness. Here’s how I see it:

Love

Let's define love using a universal perspective from the Bible. 1 Corinthians 13:3-5 (NIV) states:

"3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs."

Love encompasses patience, kindness, humility, and selflessness. It is the foundation of all virtues, gifts, skills, and knowledge. Without love, everything else is meaningless. The term "love" in the Bible translates to "charity," which includes benevolence, goodwill, and supreme love for God and mankind. It also represents the love and kindness that come from natural relationships, like those between a parent and child.

No matter your status or possessions, without love, they amount to nothing. Love is the glue that holds everything together. You can easily see the difference between those who have love and those who don't.

Expanding on the biblical meaning of love would take volumes. It's more of an action word than a noun, emphasizing what we do for others, especially our children, rather than what we feel for them. How could anyone not love their child? Unfortunately, certain circumstances can lead to this:

Unwanted Child: An unplanned pregnancy can be perceived as a hindrance to personal goals, resulting in resentment towards the child.

Children Born with Defects or Abnormalities: Parents might feel anger or frustration when a child is born with special needs, sometimes irrationally blaming the child.

Suspicious Paternity: Baseless suspicions of infidelity can cause a father to unjustly take out his frustrations on the child.

In some translations, "love is not envy" becomes "love is not jealous." While there's a distinction between the two, the point is that jealousy is a destructive emotion. Sustained negative feelings can lead to abuse or worse. Thus, love must be seen as an active effort, not just a feeling.

Perseverance

The first biblical definition of love is "love is patient." Perseverance inherently involves patience. Parenting is a lifelong journey filled with highs and lows, successes and frustrations. It can be stressful and overwhelming, with no expectation of rewards.

Think of your newborn as a pristine white sheet of paper. As parents, we often envision a bright future for our children, writing our dreams and expectations on this blank slate. However, as the child grows, they start to erase these dreams and replace them with their own. This can be painful, but it's part of their natural and intuitive development.

Children are exposed to both positive and negative influences. If they make poor choices, we must persevere. We guide them, support them, and provide the best options, but ultimately, their future is their own decision.

If our children stray, we must persevere to bring them back to the right path. We love them more and continue to persevere until they succeed.

Forgiveness

The Bible says, "Love keeps no record of wrongs." Parenting will inevitably bring pain, disappointment, and frustration. As our children grow and develop their views, these often conflict with our own, causing us to question our parenting.

From small disagreements to larger conflicts, it’s essential to forgive. Our children are different individuals, growing up in a different era, and facing unique challenges. The generation gap can cause friction, but love, perseverance, and forgiveness can bridge this gap.

Our primary goal should be to teach our children to become good people and, eventually, great parents themselves. This is our lasting legacy.

We should not expect rewards from our children. They did not choose to be born, and their existence is the result of our choices. Imagine if children could choose their parents before birth. How different would things be?

Our children will one day face the same challenges and joys of parenting. How they handle these will be our true reward.

Conclusion

This reflection on parenting with love is not from an expert or a perfect father, but from someone who has learned through experience. I have faced many struggles and joys over the past 25 years as a parent, and my journey to be the best father I can be continues.

With their mother working abroad, I have raised my three children with three core principles: love, perseverance, and forgiveness. Techniques and tactics come second.

Happy and blessed Fathers' Day To All dads both natural and those who assumed fatherhood. Always seek God's help, for He is the greatest Father above all.
