The Revelation of the Great Name of God

and of the Testimony of Jesus, and the New City of God, the New Jerusalem and the Coming of the Foreigner of God

"Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever." - Ecclesiastes 1:4 (NIV)

The world will not end, it will have a new beginning. One people, one world and One God.

The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name. Zechariah 14:9 (NIV)

Be fruitful and increase in number...

Regarding the Controversial Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines

     Maestro Evangelista says, in order to enlighten everyone regarding the issue of the controversial Reproductive Health Bill, (Republic Act No. 10354) in the Philippines, if the bill is passed in Congress, it will provide guaranteed universal access to information on the various methods related to birth control and maternal care.
 

     There are supporters and opponents of RA 10354.  The details of the bill are so controversial that it has polarized the Philippine society and the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines has threatened to excommunicate the President, Benigno Aquino III, if he supported the bill. Thus, the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines has contributed more by dividing the people.  

     The Catholic Church strongly opposes the passage of the bill on the grounds that it contradicts God’s mandate of “go and multiply” – found in the Holy Bible.
 

     Maestro Evangelista will expound on what God really said in the Book of Genesis of the Holy Bible:

So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Genesis 1:27-28 (NIV)

     Yes, God created man and woman and told them to “Be fruitful and increase in number” and even “fill the earth”.  However, the Church failed to mention the phrase that followed the “go and multiply” (Be fruitful and increase in number…) decree of God, which is: “and subdue it.”
 
     God did tell us to increase our number, even to populate the whole earth, but He also stated to “subdue it” – meaning we should not overpopulate the earth.  We should not strain the environment in our effort to sustain our numbers.  We should control and balance our number with the environment’s capability to sustain us with the available resources: food, water, shelter, and other needs to allow mankind to live a prosperous and joyful life.   Even before the time in the Garden of Eden, God had taught us the need to control our population to a sustainable level.
 
     This is the “wisdom and understanding” of God!
 
     With the finite resources of the world, overpopulation will hamper or diminish the earth’s ability to renew itself!  That is why, God told us not to pollute and overuse its resources.  Should we continue to pollute and exhaust the earth’s resources, time will come when the earth will no longer be able to sustain life.
 
   In another passage from the Holy Bible, King Solomon reminded us:

A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.
Ecclesiastes 6:3 (NIV)

     He says that even if a man would have plenty of children, yet he cannot feed them and have a decent life (which is true even in our own time) it is much better for the children not to be born!  We were born in this world to enjoy earth’s bounty. To live in poverty due to the many mouths that has to be fed, becomes a heavy burden that there can never be the good life that one can enjoy.
 
     As may be gleaned from the above, King Solomon reiterated the need to control population growth in direct proportion to the available resources and technology in order to sustain life on earth.  Even with a high rate of food production, the land will be barren through over use. An old adage states: “a well-rested field, yields more crops.”
 
     Now, the Philippine Catholic Church’s opposition to Republic Act No. 10354, simply discloses their “ignorance” of the fact that the bill is actually “in line" with one of God’s very first decrees! They are going against God’s mandate!
 
     I believe that this will settle the issue of the Catholic Church’s position regarding the bill. They should be made aware that the stand of the Catholic Church in the Philippines is against God’s Commandment and does not want the people of the Philippines to have a sustainable future.
