Editor's Notes
- Ought we to believe in God?
- Ought we to believe in God? the opinion that this difference between the Christian and the infidel is of little practical importaance it does not imply a belief in a personal God. value of belief in a personal God What is the value of belief in a personal God? You cannot have religion, in the sense I mean, without this belief; although, when you have this, you may also have much more in your religion.

- Priesthood là người giỏi, và xuất phát điểm là con ngi, tức những ngi tin có thể thực hiện theo như họ và đạt đc điều theo lời dặn của chúa hard work, discipline and frugality are a result of a person's subscription to the values espoused by the Protestant faith, Sola gratia (Latin: by grace alone) is one of the Five solae propounded to summarise the Lutheran and Reformed leaders' basic beliefs during the Protestant Reformation Salvation is by God's grace alone because He is the One who created us, provided a way of salvation for us, seeks us, gives us faith, changes us when we do believe in Him, empowers us to live for Him, keeps us in His love, and will take us to be with Him for eternity.

- , a right and a duty to indulge in positive belief, where the evidence alone would give us no right; and this because of its effects I do not believe that he does exist, but also I do not believe that he does not exist. That is the attitude I am con cerned to recommend. Now the truths from which we can start on such a proof are what we call the facts of common life-experience The Quran asserts that Muhammad was a man who possessed the highest moral excellence, and that God made him a good example or a "goodly model" for Muslims to follow (Quran 68:4, and 33:21). The Quran disclaims any superhuman characteristics for Muhammad,[26] but describes him in terms of positive human qualities. You are the best people ever raised for the good of mankind because you have been raised to serve others; you enjoin what is good and forbid evil and believe in Allah." (3:111) You will remain the best as long as you are service-minded, promote good and promote the welfare of society. If you fail to do this, you no longer have a right to boast of the superiority of Islam and the Muslim Ummah. A society which is insensitive to the suffering of other human beings and is not always inclined to serve the cause of humanity cannot be described as an Islamic society, no matter how much it adhered to other aspects of Islamic teachings. The fundamental qualities that we must all acquire to serve mankind or to develop a passion to serve mankind are: love for humanity, kindness in our hearts for others, a charitable disposition, humility, honesty, a thirst for knowledge, a desire to share knowledge with others and a constant desire to strive in the cause of Allah by doing good. We must be a people from whom goodness flows towards others. Most Ahmadi Muslims possess these characteristics.

Indeed, the Philippines has the largest Christian population outside of the Americas and Europe. It also has the third-largest Catholic population in the world (at about 76 million), behind Brazil and Mexico and slightly ahead of the U.S. Catholic population. The Asia-Pacific region’s largest Christian population in absolute numbers is in the Philippines, a country that is overwhelmingly Christian (93%)

This is dependent, however, on the person’s choices Knowing God in Islam is considered a gift by itself that will help the individual to have patience and understanding This belief helps create motivation to overcome obstacles and endure bad times based on the faith that good will result because God is in control. A prophet demonstrates how people should live at home and treat their families, how to help other people at work, and even how to run a country
- Omens were constantly watched for, especially before long journeys or the start of important enterprises. The stars to were consulted for auspicious times. Among certain Igorot tribes, certain stars would have to come in line with the Moon before important events like hunting expeditions, battles, sacrifices, etc.
- Islam in the Philippines has absorbed indigenous elements, much as has Catholicism. Moros thus make offerings to spirits (diwatas), malevolent or benign, believing that such spirits can and will have an effect on one's health, family, and crops. They also include pre-Islamic customs in ceremonies marking rites of passage--birth, marriage, and death. Moros share the essentials of Islam, but specific practices vary from one Moro group to another. Although Muslim Filipino women are required to stay at the back of the mosque for prayers (out of the sight of men), they are much freer in daily life than are women in many other Islamic societies.
