PREFACE

The Purpose Of This Lecture Series

PREFACE

The purpose of this lecture series is simple yet vital: to let the Scriptures speak plainly on a matter that many today either neglect or dismiss—the wearing of the veil by Christian women in prayer.

Through the centuries, the people of God have struggled not only with false doctrines introduced by men but also with the temptation to reduce the commands of God to mere matters of culture, convenience, or opinion. This study is not born out of a desire to argue for traditions of men but out of a commitment to uphold the inspired Word of God, which alone is our standard of faith and practice.

In 1 Corinthians 11:2–16, the apostle Paul presents a teaching that is not cultural, temporary, or optional. His reasoning is rooted in headship, creation order, angelic witness, and the practice of all the churches of God. To dismiss such teaching as irrelevant is to misunderstand the authority of apostolic doctrine.

This work is presented in the hope of helping brethren see more clearly that the veil is not an incidental matter. It is a divine ordinance that manifests obedience, reverence, and submission to God’s eternal order. While the veil itself does not save, the heart that willingly submits to apostolic instruction demonstrates the kind of faith that abides in Christ.

It is also my prayer that this study will speak not only to members of the Lord’s church but also to those outside, who may be curious about what the Bible truly says on this subject. Let the Scriptures, not culture, not tradition, not human reasoning, be our guide.

May every reader approach these pages with the spirit of the Bereans—“searching the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11). If we are willing to be doers of the Word, not hearers only (James 1:22), then we will find in God’s instructions both clarity and blessing.

PAUNANG SALITA

Ang Layunin Ng Seryeng Ito

PAUNANG SALITA

Ang layunin ng seryeng ito ay simple ngunit napakahalaga: hayaan nating ang Kasulatan mismo ang magsalita nang malinaw tungkol sa isang bagay na sa panahong ito ay kadalasang binabalewala o itinatanggi—ang pagsusuot ng belo ng mga babaeng Kristiyano sa pananalangin.

Sa loob ng maraming siglo, ang bayan ng Diyos ay nakipagbuno hindi lamang laban sa mga maling doktrinang ipinapasok ng mga tao kundi pati na rin sa tukso na gawing usapin lamang na kultura, kaginhawahan, o opinyon ang mga utos ng Diyos. Ang pag-aaral na ito ay hindi nagmula sa pagnanais na ipagtanggol ang mga tradisyon ng tao, kundi mula sa matibay na paninindigan na itaguyod ang kinasihang Salita ng Diyos, na Siya lamang ating pamantayan ng pananampalataya at pamumuhay.

Sa 1 Corinto 11:2–16, inilahad ng apostol Pablo ang isang katuruan na hindi panlupa, hindi pansamantala, at hindi opsyonal. Ang kanyang pangangatuwiran ay nakaugat sa pagkakasunud-sunod ng pagkapang-ulo, sa kaayusan ng paglalang, sa mga anghel na saksi, at sa nakasanayang gawain ng lahat ng mga iglesia ng Diyos. Ang pagturing sa katuruang ito bilang walang saysay o hindi mahalaga ay isang maling pagkaunawa sa kapangyarihan ng doktrinang apostoliko.

Inilalahad ang gawaing ito na may pag-asang makatulong sa mga kapatid upang higit na makita na ang belo ay hindi isang bagay na di-mahalaga. Ito ay isang banal na utos na nagpapakita ng pagsunod, paggalang, at pagpapasakop sa walang hanggang kaayusan ng Diyos. Bagama’t ang belo mismo ay hindi nakapagliligtas, ang pusong kusang nagpapasakop sa turo ng mga apostol ay nagpapakita ng uri ng pananampalatayang nananatili kay Cristo.

Panalangin ko rin na ang pag-aaral na ito ay magsilbing tinig hindi lamang sa mga kasapi ng iglesia ng Panginoon kundi maging sa mga nasa labas, na maaaring mausisa kung ano nga ba talaga ang sinasabi ng Biblia tungkol sa paksang ito. Hayaan nating ang Kasulatan—hindi kultura, hindi tradisyon, hindi pangangatwirang pantao—ang maging ating patnubay.

Nawa’y lapitan ng bawat mambabasa ang mga pahinang ito na may diwa ng mga taga-Berea—“sinisiyasat araw-araw ang mga kasulatan, kung tunay nga ang mga bagay na ito” (Gawa 17:11). Sapagkat kung tayo’y handang maging tagatupad ng Salita, at hindi tagapakinig lamang (Santiago 1:22), matatagpuan natin sa mga tagubilin ng Diyos ang malinaw na pag-unawa at dakilang pagpapala.

Maaaring ibahagi, i-print, ipangaral, o i-repost ang mga artikulo dito kung hindi ito babaguhin, panananatilihin ang tema ng layunin, hindi ipagbibili o gagamitin para kumita, at may malinaw na link pabalik sa blog na ito.

Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them.

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog " Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them. " Text: Mark 11:24 Introduction This Bible sermon explains the true meaning of Mark 11:24 , where Jesus teaches about believing prayer. Many misunderstand this verse as a promise that God will grant any request, but Scripture shows that prayer must be made in Christ’s name, according to His will, and from a life of obedience . Learn what the Bible really teaches about faithful prayer. Brethren and friends, listen carefully to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 11:24 : “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This verse is powerful. It is encouraging. It strengthens our faith in prayer. But it is also one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible today. Many people read this passage and think that Jesus is giving believers a blank check — that whatever we desire, God ...

“For Now I Know” — God’s Response to Faith With Works

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog Sermon: “ For Now I Know ” — God’s Response To Faith With Works Text: Genesis 22:12 God’s Words Are For Us, Not For Him Brethren, when we read, “for now I know that thou fearest God,” we must remember that God did not write the Scriptures for Himself—He wrote them for us (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16). The Lord has always been all-knowing (Psalm 139:1–4; Isaiah 46:10). He knew Abraham’s heart before Abraham even moved. But God chose to phrase it this way—“for now I know”—to communicate something to us. It is not that God gained new knowledge, but that He demonstrated in a way we can understand that true faith is proven by obedience.   Faith Is Only Real When It Acts Notice, brethren, Abraham was already a man of faith before Genesis 22. Hebrews 11:8 says he obeyed when he was called to go out. But here, his faith reached its highest test—offering Isaac, his only son. Faith alone in the mind would not have satisfied God. James ...

The Deity of Christ — Lecture 1

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ The Foundational Thesis — Why the Deity of Christ Is Central to Salvation and Doctrine THE DEITY OF CHRIST  — LECTURE 1   Introduction: The Question That Determines Everything There is no question more critical in all of Scripture than this: Who is Jesus Christ? Not merely what men say, not what traditions teach, but what the Word of God declares. For upon this question rests the foundation of salvation, the authority of doctrine, and the very identity of God as revealed to man. In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asked His disciples, “But whom say ye that I am?” This was not a casual inquiry—it was a dividing line between truth and error, life and condemnation. The answer given by Peter, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), becomes the cornerstone of true faith. Yet Scripture does not leave this confession undefined. The Bible itself explains what...

IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD? A Doctrinal Examination by Scripture Alone 📖 WHAT DOES “Pleasing to God” MEAN? To ask whether Christmas celebration is pleasing to God is not a cultural question but a doctrinal one . Scripture defines what pleases God—not human sentiment, tradition, emotion, or majority practice. “ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him .”   (Hebrews 11:6) What pleases God is: ·      Faith grounded in His revealed will ·      Obedience to His commands ·      Worship offered according to His authority “ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. ”   (2 John 9) ☛ Thus, anything done “for God” but without His authorization is not pleasing—no matter how sincere . ✎ Key Questio...

HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”) HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”)   A Cry From the Other Side Brethren and friends, there is a cry that still trembles across eternity — not from heaven, but from torment. In Luke 16, our Lord Jesus pulls back the curtain of the unseen world to show us a rich man who lived for himself and a beggar named Lazarus who suffered in life but was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man, now in anguish, lifts up his eyes and pleads for his brothers who are still alive. “Send Lazarus,” he begs, “that he may warn them.” But Abraham’s answer pierces like thunder: “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” Oh brethren, hear that line again — let them hear them. The Lord is s...

The Deity of Christ — Lecture 2

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ The Unity and Nature of God — Monotheism Without Compromise (Old Testament Foundation) THE DEITY OF CHRIST — LECTURE 2   Introduction: The Foundation That Cannot Be Broken Before we can establish the deity of Christ, we must first establish this unshakable truth:   There is only one God.   Any claim that Jesus is God must not contradict this truth—but must fully harmonize with it.   The Bible does not allow: Multiple gods (polytheism) Nor a divided God   Instead, it consistently declares from Genesis to Malachi:   “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” (Deuteronomy 6:4)   This is the foundation.

ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST? Main Text: Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Beloved, my friend… allow me to speak to you not as an enemy, but as one who cares for your soul. I am not here to attack you. I am not here to argue with you. I am here to ask you something—something simple, yet something that may change everything about your life, your faith, and your eternity. My friend… what church are you a member of? Have you ever truly asked yourself that question—not just by name, but by truth? Who built that church you belong to? When did it begin? Was it established in the days of the apostles… or was it started by a man many years later? And more importantly… can you find that church in the New Testament? Pause for a moment. Think carefully. If we open the Bible—not traditions, not history books...
