721 Quotes by Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol

People were all born good by “God’s Nature,”deformed by the failings of “Man’s Culture.”Nations or tribes closest to “God’s Nature”are they dwelt in by souls—“loving and pure.

True faith lives even in the face of death;true faith lives even beyond the last breath.True faith lives even in midst of curses;true faith lives even when all seem hopeless.Oh, true faith knows no bounds, however great;it is a shadow that won’t separate.Pray that our faith has this bottomless depth,for there’s no other faith God does accept.

Is man good who shares not, but is pious;or it’s he who shares, though not religious?“God is Love” that whoever loves has God,regardless of one’s unbelief in God.

In our world who needs immortality?To the oppressed, it is indignity.To the oppressors, it’s impunity.Don’t pray for it, God won’t ever hear thee.

BELIEF” is seeing with one’s own two eyes;on any of five senses, it relies.On the other hand, “FAITH” needs not the eyes;it relies on the heart that never lies.If we’ll really just do well contemplate,God exists both in belief and in faith: “BELIEF—through seeing all His creations,FAITH—though not seeing His constitution.

How I boil when they say we rob the Lord:“We’re not giving what belongs to the Lord.”That if we just pay tithes as per God’s word,“God will rain down blessings upon the world.”You mean, God who owned the world needs money:“Rob Him of His share and He’ll get angry?”You mean, God’s Law of “What you sow, you’ll reap,”becomes “Give God money, you’ll get a heap”?

How I boil at the church that has plentyis she that gets fed by poor and hungry;The shepherds, tasked to ease poor’s misery,are they living like kings off poor’s penny.Whereas our Lord came to feed the hungry,the church wouldn’t even spare poor’s money. Whereas our Lord gave rest to the laden,the church gave the poor even more burden.

How I boil at oft hearing “God loves ME,”“God protects ME,” “God guides ME,” “God heals ME,”as if God’s not for “US” everybody,but only for someone special like “ME.”Even in faith, man is so self-seeking;making God run around at his bidding.But when it’s God’s turn now to be asking,hardly could you see man there listening.

Man, as inspired by God, wrote the Scripture;God, for love of Man, wrote Law of Nature.Man shall err in his writing of Scripture;God is perfect in his Law of Nature.Various Scriptures: “Which one will I embrace?”There but one Law for the whole human race.Man’s Scriptures will bring untold aggressions;God’s Law will bring untiring corrections.
