those Protestants barely exist in the Philippines because they will be publicly tarred and feathered or worse
we didn't get the title of Pueblo Amante de Maria for nothing

I'm assuming that people who come with their fancy cars are in the top 10% of earners in the country, yet animal behaviour persists.
We LITERALLY are NEVER making it.
You're literally proving his point with your explanation but ofcourse the people in the comments don't know anything so they'll agree with you @IyegereS
One of the things I dislike more than the failures of this current administration is reading the bible out of context/ bad exegesis
It’s important to know the bible wasn’t written in but translated to English
In Luke 14v26 Jesus said you must hate your parents to follow him. I’m sure you know that’s not what he means and his intention is COMPARISON. He also speaks of cutting your hands in some verses but you know what that means too
Now for the Malachi 1v3 that you quoted, saying God hated Esau, please read in context. It has even been explained in Romans 9v11-13 by the apostle.
It talks about the choice. God simply chose Jacob to father his chosen people, the Israelites. The same Esau that God ‘hates’ had an inheritance given to him by God too
It’s for the reason I’d recommend an easier to read version, NLT. It says “Esau have I rejected”. It puts the verse into context for you
I have looked at your reply to the comments and quotes trying to explain but you seem to have made up your mind; that’s dishonest.
I’m quoting still so others can read this and not run into error too
God bless 🙌
The love in Christianity is not tolerance for sin. I hope we understand that.
Jesus was not condoning sin by eating with sinners. He was calling them to repentance, not endorsing their sinful lifestyles.
Liberal Christianity is not Christianity. The faith is uncompromising when it comes to holiness, righteousness and obedience to God's Word. Christianity is hardcore, and we shouldn't dilute its standards to accommodate the world.
It's too easy to shine as light in today's world.
The darkness is so thick that every tiny spark of Christ is enough to threaten legions of demons.
Any acclaimed believer who is too cowardly to flaunt their faith has already been colonised by hell.
Any so-called strategy that keeps mute and plays neutral is just darkness pretending to be light.
This is a complete delusion which only exists in the minds of people who believe cultures are just different outfits and foods without any concrete underlying belief systems that contradict with each other.
