Bakit incompatible sa biblical justice ang maraming popular brands of social justice ngayon? How about political correctness? Is this something Christians should support?  Pag-huntahan natin! For this episode, I am continuing to give a case for the social utility of the Ten-Commandments. I make the argument that the Ten Commandments reflect the core of the moral standard that's needed for a just and well-functioning society of human beings. Ibig sabihin nito, 'di  kailangan (at 'di dapat) na maging "WOKE" ang isang Kristiyano para masabing nakapag-aambag siya sa ikakabuti ng lipunan. The Christian's social contribution is in his or her conformity to the Ten-Commandments as perfectly embodied by Jesus Christ, the moral standard of highest social utility.

"Wala ka nang paki sa kapwa dahil sa pagiging maka-langit mo," sabi nang isang woke friend mo sa'yo. 'Di ka kasi yata nag-tweet ng #Pride e! Na-pressure ka ba? In this episode, let's examine this pronouncement that heavenly-mindedness makes Christians of no social utility. A heavenward orientation to life, so the accusation goes, breeds complacency among serious believers about whatever earthly status quo they had been situated, with all its miseries and injustices. Suriin at pag-huntahan natin yan!

Mga "biblical" churches na nagtatalaga ng babaeng pastor. Pagyakap ng mga taong-iglesya sa radikal na feminismo. Kakulangan ng pagta-tama mula sa pulpito ng mga mas karaniwang pang-babaeng uri ng kasalanan. These are but the tip of the iceberg! What opened up evangelical churches to such unbiblical attitudes and practices is actually a more gradual phenomenon: feminization of church culture. Pag-huntahan natin sa episode na ito!

"When will the church learn to listen to the findings of science about homosexuality?," asks an article from Rappler. This question carries an assumption that the LGBTQ+ movement has already produced uncontested scientific evidences to support non-binary gender theories. The implied accusation is that persistence on "backwards" perspective of binary categories for sex and gender is driven by nothing more than blind religious dogmatism and bigotry. Talaga ba? In this episode, Joseph gives a few thoughts and reaction to the cited article. Contrary to the article's claim, traditional belief about sex/gender categories are neither unscientific nor unchristian. Tara, huntahan!

For this episode of Iniskwela, Joseph offers his insights regarding this new favorite social hobby of labeling differing persuasions using words  suffixed with "phobia." He explains that this phobia-calling phenomenon  is actually drawing from the ideological wells that are neo-Marxist at  its core. He cites in particular the thoughts of Michel Foucault and a  little of the Frankfurt School to demonstrate that this phobia-calling, cancel-culture, and political correctness all stands on the same ideological foundation.
