Legendary Feat of Inog of M'lang
BY SULTAN ARMAND AYONAN
May ara isa ka tawo nga halin ini xa sa Kabacan, daku-dako ini xa kay makaya nya hakwaton ang iya ka 40 nga asawa kag 40 man ka mga ido. Ini xa nga tawo ang pangalan si Luminog o si Inog.
Ang iya trabaho nagapang hunting bangod nga madamo pa sadtosang mga usa kag mga pispis nga pwede maihaw hag ipakaon sa iya mga alaga.
Isa ka adlaw, nanghunting xa dala ang iya mga aswa kag mga ido. Nati on man nga nagbaha ang suba o sa karon Mlang River na ang tawag. Bangod nga ang current sang suba sobra kakusog ginpilit ni Inog nga makatabok sa sunod nga pangpang kag wala nya madiparahi naanod ang iya isa ka ido.
Si Inog mapinalangga on gid sa iya mga alaga kag mga asawa, tungod sa nahitabo nga naanod o nalunod ang iya isa sa mga ido iya gid ini ginpaningkamutan nga masalbar. Tood man, nasapwan nya ini sa isa ka puno sang tamlang o kawayan nga naga sige hibi ( hibi na lang ang aton gamiton kay sa sige aw aw kay daw d maayo pamatian, diba?)
Bilang pasalamat nya sa tanum nga amo ang nahimo nga instrumento sa pagsalbar sang iya pinalangga nga ido, c Inog natanum pa gid sang mga puno sang kawayan sa iban nga lugar kag ini nagmultiply pa gid sa aton nga banwa.
Kay ang mga nauna nga mga tribo diri sa aton banwa mga Manobo kag Maguindanawon, namatahan na nila ini nga tanum sa ila palibot kag ini gintawag nila nga" TAMLANG".
Ini nga legendary history ginrelate man lang sa amon nga mga katigulangan...
SAVED BY GRACE ALONE AND FAITH ALONE?
ReplyDeleteCalvinists often make the statement we are saved by grace alone and by faith alone. This is in and of its self a conflicting proclamation. You can believe one or the other, but cannot believe both.
Definition of alone: separate, apart, to the exclusion of all else.
It take unbridled self deception to say "I believe I was saved by grace alone and saved by faith alone."
To be save by grace alone means that God does everything for you. Grace alone suggests that men have no free-will. Grace alone means that God forces men to have faith so that they might believe and be saved. Grace alone implies that men repent only because God makes it impossible to resist. Grace alone means that men are baptized against their free-will. Grace alone means that men only confess Jesus as the Son of God because God gives them no other choice.
Faith alone, taken at face value means men are saved by faith alone. If you are saved by faith alone, then you do not need grace. If you are saved by faith alone then you do not need to be baptized in water.
You cannot on one hand say I was saved by grace alone and then say I was saved by faith alone.
There is no verse Scripture that says, "Men are saved by grace alone."
There is no verse on Scripture that says, "Men are saved by faith alone."

Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;(It says men need to repent so their sins may be wiped away, but it does not say repent only.)
Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;(It says if you confess Jesus as Lord you will be saved, however, it does not say confess Jesus only.)
Acts 2:38 Perter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (It says if you are baptized your sins will be forgiven, but it does not say baptism only.)
