A Rough Draft of "Ulat Pinoy"
The difficulty of writing in Filipino has kept me from updating the "Ulat Pinoy" blogs that I created with the intention of answering the doctrinal allegations made by certain religious charlatans against the Catholic Church. This blog will serve to be a kind of "rough draft" for my replies written in the language I am more comfortable with before I translate what I would like to say to them in Filipino.
I am not an apologist. My intention here is not really to answer objections and rebutt arguments. What I do is simply to expose a wrong interpretation of a scriptural passage based on the rules of proper interpretation. Normally, I watch a TV program or listen to a radio program run by the above mentioned charlatans and take note of the way they attack a doctrine or practise of the Catholic Church. When scriptures is involved, I take down even the passages cited and how their argument is developed. This way, I also learn the stock biblical passages they use for a particular theme.
While I have succeeded in the past to directly type my criticism of a particular line of reasoning, there were other instances still where I was not able to complete a post in Filipino because I couldn't fint the right term or the right phrase to use. Besides, I often find myself scrounging for the same Tagalog bibles employed by those false teachers (Ang Biblia and TPV sometimes) to get a citation right. For this reason, I will stop trying to express myself directly in Filipino but write in English first for a quicker and more convenient way of responding.
