The end in the Claudine Barretto vs Angelica Panganiban saga is still out of sight, Face to Face with Amy Perez should really think about doing a segment about it. What a historic, not to mention ratings-topping collaborative effort among GMA 7, ABS-CBN and TV5 that would be.
If not for a series of tweets from Claudine Barretto, we wouldn't have known that a fight a-brewing between herself and Angelica. It is also in her tweets that I discovered Claudine got good marks in Christian Living and Right Conduct in school.
Angelica has been called "traydor na kaibigan," "isang daga na tago ng tago," and somebody "[na] baka masunog pag pinag pray over."
Claudine was fuming mad that she fired off 21 tweets within a period of more than 17 hours. That's how mad she was. If tweets were bullets, imagine where Angelica is now.
One of the more nasty twits concerned Aneglica's relationship with Derek. In a nutshell, the twit was something to the effect of "nilalaspag lang si Angelica" and "kung pakakasalan ni Derek si Angelica."
So now the latest is that Angelica's home studio ABS-CBN has assigned two people to guard her body because of threats to her life made by Claudine.
If you're still not convinced that Claudine is such a devout Christian, here's Claudine's honeyed words for Angelica in their phone conversation: "Papatayin kita. Wawasakin ko mukha mo. You don't deserve to live. Suntukan tayo ngayon na."
In the words of Oda Mae Brown (the psychic from Ghost), "Angelica, you in danger, gurl."
Claudine was threatening to sue Angelica but it was Angelica, or Angelica's lawyers, who sent a demand letter to Claudine asking her to desist from speaking untruths about their client and to issue an apology for the libelous and slanderous remarks she made against their client.
Claudine is insane! She has made her Twitter account private. This is after she outdid even Clara making Mara's life miserable. Ye, the horse has left the barn. Insanity!
Born Again in Baptism
ReplyDeleteOne key Scripture reference to being "born again" or "regenerated" is John 3:5, where Jesus says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
This verse is so important that those who say baptism is just a symbol must deny that Jesus here refers to baptism. "Born again" Christians claim the "water" is the preached word of God.
But the early Christians uniformly identified this verse with baptism.
Water baptism is the way, they said, that we are born again and receive new life—a fact that is supported elsewhere in Scripture (Romans 6:3–4; Colossians 2:12–13; Titus 3:5).
No Church Father referred to John 3:5 as anything other than water baptism.
Amen
