Thursday BS - 2nd Peter 1:12-21.

Prophecy of Scripture

¹² So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. ¹³ I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, ¹⁴ because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.

¹⁶ For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”^[a] 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

¹⁹ We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. ²⁰ Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. ²¹ For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

For I've learned and realized lot of things last night, and "Sharing" its really fun activity in Bible Study.

Every second thursday of the month we always Sharing activity in our BS, where the assigned teacher will give the passage to be read, and each of us, will share what verse/s , word/s that marks and have impact to us, or what the whole passage means to us. I found it very fun, because in that way who will see how people react, how they affect them, and at the end of sharing you as yourself will enlighten so much how important, precious, and the truth behind the passage.

When I first read this passage theres only one word that really made a big impact to me, oh it's not only one word in English "I will always remind you" but in tagalog that is only one word "paalalahanan". 

"Sadya talagang napakahirap mamuhay sa mundong ito, maraming masasama sa ating kapaligiran, bakit ang word na eto ang tumatak sakin, dahil siguro narin, mas madalas kong makasama ang mga taong makamundo, naminsan napapansin ko sa aking sarili nagiging katulad ulit ako ng dati, nakakalimutan ko ang mga salita ng Dyos na aking natutuhan at nalaman, ang katotohanang aking tinanggap, nung nabasa ko kasi etong word na eto parang may something sa puso ko, bigla ako nanabik ng sobra sa bible study, at nung nagstart na yung sharing, lalo akong nagalak, napakasaya ng aking puso, sapagkat nakarinig ulit ako ng mga salita ng Dyos at nakasama ang mga taong lihis sa mundong ito. Pakiramdam ko kasi kapag kasama ko sila, napakabait ko, napakabanal hahahaha so funny but it is true, alam mo yung feeling na sobrang comfortable ka, at alam mo lahat ng sasabihin mo pakikinggan ka nila, di sila makikipag argumento sayo na sasabihin, "Tanga di kaya ganun eun / Bobo mo naman / Ang hina talaga ng utak mo", bagkus kung may mali man sa nasabi mo, pakikinggan nila ito at ipapaliwanag sayo ang dapat mong gawin.

Second, when all of us reading it theres another verse that made me realized about my friend  "²⁰ Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things."

"Ayun, naalala ko dati, ilang beses ko binabasa yung bible ng lola ko, gabi gabi, ayun wala naman pumapasok sa isip ko, siguro nga iniintindi ko kasi ito ng pilit at paulit ulit, then that is also the time na pumasok ako sa bagong work ko, hiniling ko kay God na gusto ko matutunan ung mga salita niya, kung sino ang unang mag-invite sakin sa Bible Study sasama ako, hainaku,then siguro day pass by, wala naman, then one day, nag aya si Mam Juvie na kung gusto namin sumama sa BS, ee di ko naman alam Bible Study pala eyun, sinabi ko Mam next time na lang, nung sinabi nia Bible Study eun, may something na nagcoconvict sa puso ko, di ko pa naalala ung hiniling ko kay God, naisip ko, naku ano ba ginagawa nila sa Bible Study, nag-babasa ba sila ng bible? May nagsasalita sa harapan tapos nakikinig sila, alam mo yung napapanood sa TV, may magtatanong may sasagot, at nung paauwi na ako, naalala ko na nga hiniling ko pala iyon, nalungkot pa ako kasi, sabi ko sayang ayun na pala iyon, pinaglagpas ko pa, siguro nga mabait talaga si God, and next thursday come again nag-aya ulit si Mam Juvie, meron na naman pag aalinlangan kung sasama ako at hindi, mabuti naman sumama sila Robert kaya sumama naman ako, masaya naman ang first experienced ko kasi may natutuhan naman ako.

Dun na nga nagsimula ang lahat, maraming salamat naman kay Mam Juvie, maligaya ako at nakilala ko sya, at Sir Ronald na walang sawang nagshashare ng Salita ng Dyos kahit alam nya di lahat naiintindihan siya".

Tapos ko na yung part ko, gusto ko din i-share ung mga natandaan ko na sinabi ng iba ko pang ka BS.

Kay Ate Abby, kung word na paalalahanan ang akin gusto ko din ang kanyang sinabi na napili nya "Pag ukulan ng pansin" o "pay attention to it" sa verse 19, talaga naman napaka-importante nang kanyang narealize at ishinare talaga namang dapat pag ukulan natin ito ng pansin at panahon dahil wala ng bagay na mas mahalaga pa kaysa sa salita ng Dyos.

Si Ate Nikki naman, "Bata pa ba ang 14 years old (everyone laughs and thinking kung 14 lang ba sya nung sinasabi nia ito) kasi nung 14 years old ako may nag iinvite sakin mag bible study, para sakin kasi boring yung that time, siguro kung kakanta pa, bakit ngayon bata pa naman ako, enjoy pala mag bible study (mag aral ng salita ng Dyos). Yung feeling na everyday ni try ko wag magdasal pakiramdam ko di kumpleto ang araw ko (Elder Joe, "kasi nga di lang sa tinapay nabubuhay ang tao")".... [di ko na alam yung eksatong pagkakasabi nia eto ung mga natandaan ko lamang sa ipinahayag niya]

Si Ate April, "Paano mo malalaman kung yung taong naghahayag ay false prophet o galing sa Dyos"


Si Mam Juvie, "Ang Bible ba ay naglalaman ng Salita ng Dyos o eto ay Salita ng Dyos?"
