I grew up as a
Catholic; my parents are very devoted as Catholics. Because of that I somehow
know things about the Catholic Church. But as what I observed and learned in
the discussions I realized that I don’t know anything about that church. I
don’t even know the history of it. The only thing I know is that I am a
catholic and I have the responsibility to go to church. I learned in the
discussion and as I read the book of D. Leslie Hill. The growth of the Catholic
Church has many factors one of that is the invasion of the German tribes. One
thing that I was really amazed was that even they were being invaded by the
German tribes; they were still very strong in their religion. Even those Germans
who invaded them were influenced by their religion. I can see how powerful and
strong they are. Also I learned that they can manipulate people to join them. I
think also that they have very good leader that’s why they can stand against
any opposition. Also I learned that images in those days are just an
illustration, but they made it now to be worshiped. I am happy to know it
because I will share it to my parents and church members. Right now I describe
the catholic as decreasing because even though many of the Filipinos are
members of the Catholic Church, but now it is decreasing because most of the
people in the Philippines already know the truth and follow the true God.
For me personally I am very blessed to know these things,
it is because I can share this to the people who is being blinded by those
leaders who do not teach the truth. Also in this chapter I really understood
the things that I always want to learn and as an application I must also be
very strong when it comes to leadership. I will always practice to be firm and
to influence others and to really show that I am a good follower of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Just like the leader of that religion, even if they are invaded
they shown to them that they are more than strong to the one who invaded. I myself should influence others.
