Maria

Isa itong tanong sa akin sa kabilang blog. “Who is Mary? Mary is the mother of Jesus. Jesus is God. therefore Mary is the mother of God”.

Walang mother ang God. Kaya Niyang manganak. Kaya Niyang gumawa ng manganganak. Ang God ay hindi kinakailangang makipag-sex para manganak.

Heb 1:5 For to which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

Kaya tumigil na sa pansariling analogy at maling paniniwala na si Maria ay “mother of God”. Ina lang siya ni Jesus sa kanyang pagiging tao.

Katunayan, Ipinanganak si Cristo mas una pa kay Abraham at alam naman siguro ng lahat na si Abraham ay unang ipinanganak kay Maria.

Jn 8:58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.

At ito pa ang mas malalim para mas maintindihan na si Cristo ay kasama ng Dios sa paglalang at hindi siya nilalang.

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth.

Kasama kasi si Cristo sa paglalang ng tao sapagka’t si Cristo ang karunungan at kapangyarihan ng Dios Ama.

1 Cor 1:24 But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Papaanong mangyayari na si Maria ang Ina ng Dios eh nilalang nga lang siya.

Magisip naman sana tayo at huwag nawang mapabilang o mapasama sa mga katulad nito.

2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts will they multiply to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Wala kang mababasa sa Bibliya na Mary is the mother of God. Ang mababasa mo si Mary ay mother ni Jesus.

Kung sabihin ko kaya na walang babae sa langit puro lalaki lang di kaya umusok ang ilong mo sa galit? Hindi kaya paratangan mo ako na binabastos ko si Maria?

Mk 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels who are in heaven.

Ano ba ang mga Angel? Hindi ba mga sons of God ang tawag sa kanila?

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Di ba dapat ang nakalagay diyan ay “all the sons & daughters of God shouted for joy”? Kung si Maria ay aakyat na babae sa langit di nag-iisa lang siyang babae dun.

Maaring itanong ng mga babae, paano naman kami, anong mangyayari sa aming mga babae? Babaguhin kasi kayo o tayong lahat ng isang katawang walang kasiraan.

1 Cor 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

1 Cor 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Wala pang umakyat sa langit kundi yung nanggaling lang sa langit at yun ay si Cristo.

Jn 3:13 And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

Asan ngayon si Maria? Di patay pa rin at natutulog pa, nag-aantay ng pagbabalik ni Cristo para siya’y buhayin at agawin kabilang ng mga banal na namatay kay Cristo.

1 Thes 4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1 Thes 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Hindi pa nga kaanib si Maria ng Iglesia ng Dios noong buhay pa si Cristo pati na ang kanyang mga kapatid na babae.

Mk 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Kaya naman nung hinahanap Siya ng kanyang ina na si Maria at ng kanyang mga kapatid sa labas ng kanilang pinagtitipunan ay ganito ang sinabi Niya.

Mk 3:32-34 And the multitude sat about him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother, and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked around on them who sat about him, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren!

Mk 3:35 For whoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Bagama’t pagkatapos umakyat sa langit ni Cristo ang mga Apostol ay nagsisipanatiling matibay na nangagkakaisa sa pananalangin na kasama ang mga babae, at si Maria na ina ni Jesus, at pati ng mga kapatid niya.

Acts 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Maiinis ba kayo sa akin dahil nagsasabi ako ng totoo? Mapapasubalian ba natin ang nagdudumilat na katotohanan ng kasulatan? Ang may pakinig ay makinig at umunawa.

Ating basahin ang Bibliya upang huwag tayong maligaw at umasa na lamang sa mga tradisyon at paniniwalang isinasaksak ng mga walang unawa.

2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
