    Who wants some chocolate? What, chocolates are out of stock? Why, why there is no chocolate? No cocoa because there are no cacao trees bearing fruits.
    I just learned one seminar I attended that cacao have a […]

    • Is it so important for the Philippines? They can increase their Agricultural Products which are useful for the people and to the country.

      They can get many crops that can be taken up. But, insisting only on the production and development of Cocoa Crop may perhaps be not correct.

      • I have learned that planting cacao is not as easy as 1+1=2. Cacao need the right technology and strategy so it would bear more fruits. This also include to the fact that cacao don’t just bear fruit anywhere but it prefer the hilly part of the region. The tree should also have more than 50 fruits and not just 3 fruits. All of this need attention from the farmer and with the help of agricultural technologist. If not, goodbye chocolates.

    SuperD wrote a new post, Though Shall Not Kill – 5th laws in the Ten Commandments – Bible 8 years, 2 months ago

    “Though Shall Not Kill”, this is the 5th laws in the Ten Commandments in the bible which the Christian religiously follow. Everybody are afraid to take one’s life because they believe the soul will be punis […]

    • In following the 5th law of the 10 commandments is subjective. You may have the reason to kill that is to defend yourself from being killed. But we talk about the Bible which is the source of this law, “Thou shalt not kill” is not followed in toto. I am not reasoning out that God is unfair and unbelievable for I know Him that He is the Almighty, the great Providence, and everything comes from Him. There were instances in the Bible that God had caused the killings of the sinful people. He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. He caused the great flood in the time of Noah. He killed the son of the Pharaoh. Killings were common among the Biblical times and God knows it. So what’s your position now?

      • Yes it is subjective, but as you see, the proliferation of killing is not just because killer defend themselves. You see, there’s even no suspect for the killing in our country. So, the subject itself cannot reason the incident. There must be a reason why you kill and there must be a suspect. And not just killing like a chicken eating your vegetable in your garden.

      • Yes it’s true God doesn’t allow killings to take place just like that just like you have said in th3 bible God ordained for killings to happen for a particular reason for his glory to show. But I’m this case there are people being killed innocently in the name of curbing drugs but I guess that’s not the right way to go.

    • It speaks of total indiscipline prevailing in the Philippines.

      This is an attack against the pushers and other drug peddlers. The uneducated people are not getting jobs and they are becoming pushers as stated in your article is not acceptable. It is only during Mr. Dutete’s period an action has been initiated against these illegal activities. Earlier, the previous presidents have not taken any stringent action against these peddlers.They simply closed their eyes to these activities. The earlier President has left this problem to the incoming President
      When Mr. Duterte took up charge he immediately initiated action against them which should be appreciated internationally.

      you are also accepting that stringent action should be taken against these pushers but feeling sorry for the innocents being killed in the operations. If this is the real issue this can be reduced to the minimum by finding suitable solutions and taking up a discussion with all the parties. Sometimes, the opposition parties make a hue and cry when such incidents take place. This is the worst situation prevailing not only in your country but also with every country in the world. This must be given a stop. It is only a mud sledging activity which hampers the development of any country.

      The U.S also has experienced such incidents. They took up drone strikes in Ukraine and other places and when the people revolt the opposition parties support such revolts and bring down the Government in power.

      Killing three thousand people can not take place in a night. If such incident has occurred the other parties should bring it to the notice fo the Government and suggest remedial measures. They kept quiet for all these days. When the figure has reached a substantial level they are making an issue out of it. They should also suggest remedial measures to Mr Duterte instead of making protests and demonstrations in the streets.

      • Killing 1,000 drug pushers should already scared the 2,000 other. Sometimes, what saddens me is the fact the police officers is like being forced to do so because they need to report it in their accomplishment. And accomplishment is not just by turning them into good person but there should be a drug pusher killed that should intimidate other drug personalities.

        Why not change some strategies and programs now. Instead of killing them now, give them livelihood to support their families, bring them to rehabilitation center for their transformation. Lift up their spirit instead of demoralizing and killing, especially the young people.

    • Okay fine we may agree with you at some point that the uneducated ar3 being pushed because of poverty to do this kinds of jobs, but where is th3 government in all of this? Are they really for the idea of getting hold of the manufacturer’s of this drugs or are they in it themselves that’s the problem. I have watched this lady’s story in he need and found out that she had been removed from the government. Now it’s really up to the people of Philippines to decide whether they want to change their lives and country or not by refusing to work for this kinds of people

    • Yes tenth commandment is that you will not kill any man but in all countries this law has been crushed mercilessly and in this act all the country politicians are on the front line I think they do not believe in God and his decrees and they lost faith in God fear of God.

      “You shall not covet” means that we should banish our desires for whatever does not belong to us. Never having enough money is regarded as a symptom of the love of money. Obedience to the tenth commandment requires that envy be banished from the human heart.

      Thou shalt not kill (LXX; οὐ φονεύσεις), You shall not murder (Hebrew לֹא תִּרְצָח lo tirṣaḥ) or You shall not kill (KJV), is a moral imperative included as one of the Ten Commandments in the Torah, specifically Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17.

      Simply stated, the sixth of the Ten Commandments forbids the unjustified taking of a human life. However, the commandment itself has a couple of interesting elements that bear mentioning.

      First and foremost, different Bible translations give the appearance of different meanings, and there is potential for misunderstanding the actual meaning of the verse. Second, man was never created for the act of murdering another, and there needs to be an explanation for such a violent and final act towards another human being.

      Third, because of the translational challenge, we need to understand the difference between “murder” and “killing.” And last but not least, how does God view murder? To God, murder is not just physical in nature but also the condition of one’s heart towards another.

    I think this is the best thing to do because we cannot yet do it on our own. Editing may be important but I guess we need to wait a little for more until admin can decide to allow us to edit our own post.

    @EZRA. I found this topic very interesting. First of all thank God for inspiration. It bothers me so much how prosperity is been preached over salvation. The bible said in Hosea 4:6 “My people perish for lack of knowledge (1) because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me and since (2) you have forgotten the law of…[Read more]

    @Anitah .What we should do actually is not to judge but to pray for their wrongs that God almighty helps them to overcome and also be an encouragement to them, stand with them and show more love at the time when especially a Christian back slides inside of mocking or comparing the person. God bless you.

    @Ezra. Do you think majority do not know this or have not read these part of the bible that says ‘DO NOT JUGDE’ or people don’t know what is right from wrong? The problem is that in this present days dispensation, people are to busy make sin as moral act, they enjoy doing the wrong thing because they are too blinded to put in practices what they…[Read more]

    The 300 girls have not been rescued till date, few escaped anyway, some impregnated, forced into doing things against their own wish, becoming sex slaves and lots more. What surprises more is that the government is doing more or less nothing about getting these girls back, they treat it like a hot water that suddenly became cold. There are parents…[Read more]
