Hello po Fr. Abe, good morning.
Na confuse lang po ako sa Genesis
in chapter 3 Father. Masyadong malalim ang kanyang mga sinabi dito para
sa akin Father. Hindi ko masyadong na intindihan ang ibig sabihin ng
mga sinabi ng ating Panginoon.
Genesis 3:14-15
(14) Then the
Lord God said to the snake, "You will be punished for this; you alone of
all the animals must bear this curse: from now on you will crawl on
your belly, and you will have to eat dust as long as you live.
(15) I
will make you and the woman hate each other; her offspring and yours
will always be enemies. Her offspring will crush your head, and you will
bite her offspring's heel.
In verse 14, God punished the snake
"will crawl on your belly" and "eat dust", we know naman po na ang snake
ay gumagapang talaga kung sila ay lalakad. At hindi naman sila kumakain
ng "dust" eh kundi mga karne ng mga hayop.
My questions for verse 14:
1.
Bakit pinarusahan ng Panginoon ang snake na gagapang siya gamit ang
kanyang tiyan eh sa natural po ay gumagapang naman talaga ang snake? Ano
po ibig sabihin nito "you will crawl on your belly"?
2. At ano po ibig sabihin ng "you will have to eat dust"?
My question in verse 15:
1. Ano po ibig sabihin ng verse 15?
Thanks po Father Abe and God bless you po..jpg "Fr. Abe, CRS")

HA HA HA... SHENGTON PLEASE
UNDERSTAND THAT THE BIBLE HAS A LITERAL MEANING AND SPIRITUAL OR
THEOLOGICAL MEANING. YOU ONLY LOOKED AT IT IN A LITERAL SENSE. WHICH IS
NOT ACTUALLY PROPER BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW FROM CHILDHOOD THAT THE ONE
BEING REFERRED TO HERE IS NOT THE LITERAL SNAKES BUT SATAN THE TEMPTER
OF MAN.
ANG SNAKES NA ANIMALS AY CREATURES OF GOD. SILA AY
NILIKHA NG DIOS AT BAHAGI NG NATURAL ORDER AND BY NATURE TALAGANG GINAWA
SILA NG DIOS NA GUMAGAPANG. KAYA IF YOU WILL LIMIT YOUR UNDERSTANDING
SA LITERAL MEANING TALAGANG IT DOES NOT JIBE. BUT AS I'VE SAID THE SNAKE
IS A MERE REPRESENTATION OF THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF THE TEXTS. THAT
SIN ENTERED INTO THE WORLD BECAUSE OUR FIRST PARENTS WERE TEMPTED BY
SATAN.
IN OTHER PARTS OF THE BIBLE, INSTEAD OF A SNAKE THE TERM USED IS 'DRAGON':
Revelation
12:9 At inihagis ang malaking dragon, ang matandang ahas, ang
tinatawag na Diablo at Satanas, ang dumadaya sa buong sanglibutan;
siya'y inihagis sa lupa, at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay inihagis na
kasama niya.
AT SA HALIP NA PARUSA NG PAGGAPANG, PARUSA NG
PAGKAKATAPON MULA SA LANGIT ANG SINABI. IBIG SABIHIN YUNG 'CRAWLING'
SIGNIFIES THAT SATAN WAS GREATLY HUMILIATED BY GOD FROM A LOFTY POSITION
TO A VERY LOW STATE. IN THEOLOGY, FROM BEING A GOOD ANGEL HE BECAME A
DEVIL THE LOWEST AND THE WORST OF THE OUTCASTS:
Isaiah 14:12
Ano't nahulog ka mula sa langit, Oh tala sa umaga, anak ng umaga!
paanong ikaw ay lumagpak sa lupa, ikaw na siyang nagpahina sa mga bansa!
Isaiah 14:13 At sinabi mo sa iyong sarili, Ako'y sasampa sa
langit, aking itataas ang aking luklukan sa itaas ng mga bituin ng Dios;
at ako'y uupo sa bundok ng kapisanan, sa mga kaduluduluhang bahagi ng
hilagaan:
Isaiah 14:14 Ako'y sasampa sa itaas ng mga kaitaasan ng mga alapaap; ako'y magiging gaya ng Kataastaasan.
[Ano po ibig sabihin nito "you will crawl on your belly"?]
IN OUR
MODERN EXPRESSION IT MEANS SATAN WAS "HUMBLED TO THE GROUND". IBINABA AT
PINAHIYA SIYA NG DIOS. TULAD NG TAKSIL NA MANAGER NA BIGLANG GINAWANG
JANITOR O ALIPIN.
ANG PHRASE NA "HUMBLED TO THE GROUND" AY COMMON
EXPRESSIONS GIVEN TO PERSONS WHO WERE BROUGHT LOW OR GREATLY HUMILIATED
FROM LOFTY STATUS TO THE LOWEST STATUS, FOR INSTANCE, THE RICH PEOPLE
WHOSE ATTITUDES WERE SO UNCHARITABLE THEN WHEN THEY SUDDENLY LOST THEIR
POWER, INFLUENCE AND RICHNESS THEN WE SAY THEY ARE BROUGHT TO THE
GROUND.
[2. At ano po ibig sabihin ng "you will have to eat dust"?]
IT
MEANS HE IS LOWER THAN DOGS OR ANIMALS. SATAN IS BROUGHT SO LOW THAT HE
LOST ANY HONOR, DIGNITY AND PRESTIGE. EVEN OUR DOGS AND THE BEASTS OF
THE FIELDS ARE EATING MEAT OR VEGETABLES OR HERBS. TO EAT DUST MEANS
THAT PERSON HAS BECOME SO LOW AND VALUELESS. SA MODERN EXPRESSIONS NATIN
SA FILIPINO: "YAGIT NA YAGIT, NANLILIMAHID SA DUMI."
SA SPORTS
PAGSINABING "PINAKAIN NAMIN NG ALIKABOK ANG KALABAN" IT MEANS KULELAT
NA KULELAT. BUGBOG SARADO. TAMBAK ANG LAMANG. SATAN WAS LIKE THAT IN
FRONT OF GOD.
[My question in verse 15:
1. Ano po ibig sabihin ng verse 15?]
ANG
GEN. 3:15 AY NAPAKA HALAGA SA BIBLIA. ANG TAWAG DIYAN NG BOTH CATHOLIC
AND PROTESTANT BIBLE SCHOLARS AY "PROTO-EVANGELION" IBIG SABIHIN THE
FIRST GOOD NEWS... THE FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH,
REDEEMER AND SAVIOR. THE FIRST DECLARATION MADE BY GOD THE FATHER
HIMSELF THAT SATAN SHALL BE DEFEATED TOTALLY... TO BE CRUSHED RIGHT ON
THE HEAD.
THIS IS MONOLOGUE OF GOD THE FATHER TALKING TO SATAN:
Gen
3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his
heel.
THE FATHER TOLD SATAN THAT THERE WILL BE A 'WOMAN' WHO
WILL BE IN ENMITY WITH SATAN. THIS WOMAN IS NOT EVE BECAUSE EVE BECAME A
FOLLOWER OF SATAN. BUT THE WOMAN SHALL BE IN ENMITY. IN TAGALOG:
"PAG-AALITIN KO IKAW AT ANG BABAE." SO THIS WOMAN WILL BE AN ENEMY OF
SATAN.
NOW WHO IS THE WOMAN?
THE VERSE GAVE A HINT OF HER
IDENTITY. THE SEED OF THE WOMAN SHALL CRUSH THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT.
CLEARLY IT REFERS TO THE SON OF THE WOMAN WHO WILL DEFEAT SATAN.
WE
ALL KNOW THAT THE ONLY ONE WHO DEFEATED COMPLETELY BY DESTROYING HIS
HEAD [SIN AND DEATH] IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST - THE KING OF KINGS AND
THE LORD OF LORDS. AND WHO IS THE MOTHER OF JESUS? OF COURSE ITS THE
VIRGIN MARY.
WHY SEED OF THE WOMAN? BECAUSE DURING THAT TIME
THERE WAS NO MICROSCOPE YET. PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW YET THE EGG CELLS. THEY
ONLY KNOW OF THE SPERM CELLS BECAUSE THE MAN RELEASES IT INTO THE WOMB
OF THE WOMAN. NOW, SINCE JESUS IS BORN NOT DUE TO THE SPERM CELL OF A
MAN SO HE IS THE SEED OF A WOMAN [cf. Isaiah 7:14/Matthew 1:23/Luke
1:26-27,31-32]. BECAUSE MARY CONCEIVED JESUS AS VIRGIN AND SHE GAVE
BIRTH TO JESUS AS VIRGIN AS WELL.
SO THE TEXT REFERS TO:
1. JESUS AS THE DESTROYER OF SATAN, THE REDEEMER AND SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.
2. MARY THE MOTHER OF THE SAVIOR.
(a)
SHE IS PART OF GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION BECAUSE SHE IS INCLUDED IN THE
PLAN BY GOD THE FATHER AS THE PRIMARY INSTRUMENT OF GOD FOR THE COMING
OF THE MESSIAH. THEN,
(b) MARY IS AN ENEMY OF SATAN. THUS, SINCE
EVE THE FIRST WOMAN WAS A TRAITOR WHO BECAME A DISOBEDIENT CREATURE OF
GOD AND FOLLOWER OF SATAN BY TEMPTATION, MARY THE WOMAN-MOTHER OF THE
MESSIAH SHALL BE AN ENEMY OF SATAN. THUS, SHE IS IMMACULATE. SHE IS AN
ENEMY OF SIN AND WILL NOT FALL INTO THE TRAPS, DECEPTIONS AND
TEMPTATIONS OF SATAN BECAUSE GOD THE FATHER HIMSELF ALREADY DECLARED
THAT SHE IS AN ENEMY OF SATAN: "Kayo ng Babae'y LAGING MAG-AAWAY"
[Mabuting Balita Biblia].
IN OUR THEOLOGY WE CALL MARY
IMMACULATE OR SINLESS BECAUSE ANYONE WHO SIN BECOMES A FOLLOWER OF SATAN
AND SHE WILL CEASE TO BE AN ENEMY OF SATAN. THIS CANNOT BE BECAUSE OF
THE WORDS OF GOD THE FATHER. IT CANNOT BE BROKEN.
(c) MARY IS THE
NEW EVE OR THE NEW WOMAN. THE FIRST WOMAN [EVE] BECAME A TRAITOR TO
GOD. THE NEW WOMAN... THE SECOND WOMAN WHOM GOD THE FATHER CALLED WOMAN
IS THE MOTHER OF THE SAVIOR. AS CHRIST IS THE NEW ADAM [cf. 1
Corinthians 15:45/ 1 Cor 15:22/ Romans 5:12-13] SO GOD THE FATHER BY THIS
PRONOUNCEMENT MADE MARY THE NEW EVE, THE NEW WOMAN. THAT TIME ONLY EVE
WAS THE EXISTING WOMAN BUT GOD THE FATHER CALLED 'WOMAN' THE COMING
MOTHER OF JESUS. SO MARY IS THE NEW WOMAN, THE NEW EVE.
[Thanks po Father Abe and God bless you po.]
