I can't believe that a lot of Pinoys still believe that children would go to the limbo when they die. Some even thought that they would become "tiyanak". Yikes!
This country is supposed to be a Christian country in Asia and yet a lot of us still believes in folk lores, paganism or whatever "pamahiin" - so called Christian who barely know about the bible.
If we are truly Christians then why is that when don't follow the same doctrines? Why don't we have the same practices?
The term Christians is now overused. But who exactly are these men? These are the followers of Jesus Christ. And who is Jesus Christ - well, you really need to read the bible to know Him better. It was in Antioch when the disciples of Christ was called Christians (they were named as such by other people and not by themselves).
We are indeed sinful in nature. And although as children we already see the foolishness, but they are not capable of making a sound judgment from what is right and what is wrong. Why then, some religions insisted on baptizing a child? What then is baptism? Is that a way to salvation?
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? Didn't Jesus called a little child? So how come others would think that chidren would end up in a limbo?
I am posing all these questions to let us think. God has given us the intellect to know things. However, it shall be wisdom and spiritual maturity that would lead us to the understanding.
I have taken some pictures of the children last weekend. God would never send these small creatures to the limbo; only people do.
