Alam niyo ba? Ang Iglesia ni Cristo (Registered Trademark)

Ang larawang ito ay printscreen mula sa website na RAPLER.com

Alam niyo bang may isang 'iglesiang' nagpapanggap na tunay daw pero ito'y itinatag lamang kamakailan.

Ang tinutukoy po natin ay ang 'Iglesia ni Cristo' (Registered Trademark) o mas kilala sa pangalang INC na tatag ng isang dating Katoliko-- ni yumaong Felix Manalo isinilang at bininyagan sa Iglesiang tatag ni Cristo-- ang Iglesia Katolika.

Ang pangalang FELIX ay ipinangalan sa kanya ng kanyang mga magulang hango sa mga santong may pangalang SAN FELIX.  Nakaugalian na kasi ng mga Katoliko noong una na ang kanilang mga anak ay binibigyan ng pangalan sa Sakramento ng Binyag mula sa mga santo at santa.

Ang mga magulang ni Felix Manalo ay binyagan, namuhay at namatay na mga debotong Katoliko.

Ang INC™ ay itinatag ni Felix Manalo noong 1913 ngunit ipinarehistro ito sa Gobyerno ng Pilipinas noong Hulyo 27, 1914 kung kaya't ang pagdiriwang ng kanilang anibersaryo ay mas higit pa sa pagdiriwang ng Kapaskuhan ng Kapanganakan ni Cristo (Disyembre 25).

Ayon sa Rappler.com ang INC™ ay halos 2.5 milyon lamang, taliwas sa 10 milyong binabanggit ng kanilang mga kaanib.  Ito rin ang pagpapatunay ng kilalang 'broadsheet' newspaper sa Pilipinas -- ang The Philippine Daily Inquirer:
A total of 2.25 million Filipinos were members of Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) in 2010, up from 1.76 million in 2000, data from the latest census by the National Statistics Office (NSO) showed.

The number of voting-age INC members at the time was estimated at 1.37 million, as 61 percent of the country’s population was 18 and above.

Of some 92 million Filipinos in 2010, 56.5 million were of voting age.

Ang INC™ ay may sariling pagkaunawa sa tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo -- ang Iglesia Katolika.

Ayon sa kanilang opisyal na magasin Pasugo (lathala bilang Hulyo-Agost0 1988 pp. 6 at Abril 1966, p. 46), ang Iglesia Katolika ay siyang TUNAY na Iglesia ni Cristo. Ang nagtatag nito ay walang iba kundi ang ating Panginoong Hesukristo.  Kung bakit nagkaroon ng isa pang 'Iglesia ni Cristo' sa Pilipinas ay sapagkat 'natalikod na ganap' daw ang orihinal na Iglesia ni Cristo.

Ito'y taliwas sa mga aral mula sa Biblia.  Ang sabi ng Biblia ay TAO ang tatalikod at HINDI ang IGLESIA. Ito'y naganap kay Felix Manalo nang siya'y TUMALIKOD mula sa tunay na Iglesia at nagtayo ng sariling kanya.

Ang mga kaanib ng INC™ ay nagsasamba lamang sa araw ng Huebes at Linggo.  Ang kanilang pagsamba o attendance ay nakatala sa isang attendance slip at sarado ang kanilang kapilya pagkasimula ng kanilang seremonya.

Sarado sa publiko ang mga sambahan ng INC™. Nagbubukas lamang ito sa tuwing araw ng kanilang pagsamba.

Naniniwala silang iisa ang Dios katulad ng paniwala ng buong Santa Iglesia Katolika na siyang tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo.  Ngunit hindi sila naniniwala na ang NAG-IISANG DIOS ay may TATLONG PERSONA-- ang BANAL na TRINIDAD.

Dahil dito pinalalagay nilang TAO LAMANG si Jesus.

Bagamat malimit nilang pinaparatangang mga 'pagano' ang mga Katoliko at inaakusahang 'sumasamba sa mga rebulto' hindi nila maipaliwanag kung bakit sila'y SUMASAMBA sa TAONG si JESUS. Labag sa kautusan ng Biblia ang sumamba sa kahit sinong tao maliban sa Dios.

Ang tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo ay sumasamba kay Jesus sapagkat SIYA ay DIOS na tunay. Kaya't ang pagsasamba ng tunay ng mga Kristiano kay Jesus ay alinsunod sa mga turo ng mga Apostoles na namuhay at nakapiling ng ating Panginoong Jesus (1 Chronicles 16:25; Psalm 48:1; Psalm 96:4-5; Psalm 145:3; 2 Samuel 22:4; John 4:23; Philippians 2:11; Matthew 2:11; Matthew 14:33; John 20:28; Matthew 28:16-17; John 9:35-38; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:6; Revelation 5:8-14Psalm 103:20; Isaiah 6:1-4; etc. etc.).

Sa kabuuan, ang INC™ ay isang kulto-- nagpapanggap lamang na tunay ngunit huwad. Ito ay mula sa pagpapatotoo ng kanilang sariling opisyal na magasing Pasugo Mayo 1968, p. 7:
“Ang tunay na INK ay iisa lamang. Ito ang Iglesiyang itinayo ni Cristo. Kung mayroon mang nagsisibangon ngayong mga Iglesia at sasabihing sila man ay Iglesia ni Cristo rin, ang mga ito ay hindi tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo kundi huwad lamang."

Kwento ng Dalawang Kambal na Muntikan nang i-abort, naging pari!


(CNA/EWTN News).- Two twin brothers in Chile say that their mother’s determination in protecting them from abortion despite the advice of doctors helped to foster their vocations to the priesthood.

“How can I not defend the God of life?” said Fr. Paulo Lizama. “This event strengthened my vocation and gave it a specific vitality, and therefore, I was able to give myself existentially to what I believe.”

“I am convinced of what I believe, of what I am and of what I speak, clearly by the grace of God,” he told CNA.

Fr. Paulo and his identical twin brother, Fr. Felipe, were born in 1984 in the Chilean town of Lagunillas de Casablanca.

Before discovering her pregnancy, their mother, Rosa Silva, had exposed herself to x-rays while performing her duties as a paramedic. Consequently, after confirming the pregnancy, her doctor conducted ultrasounds and informed her that he had seen “something strange” in the image.

Paring Katoliko Pinaslang sa Publiko ng mga Rebelde sa Syria

Isa na namang karumal-dumal na pagpatay sa isang paring Katoliko sa bansang Syria kung saan ang mga rebeldeng lumalaban kay Pangulong si Bashar Al-Assad.

Ayon sa report na galing sa Vatican, ang mga masasamang-loob ay ang mga bandidong Muslim na kilala sa pangalang al-Nusra Front at sila'y kabilang sa napakaraming umaangkin ng Syria sa ngayon. Layunin ng grupong bandido na gawing Islamic Country ang Syria at palalaganapin ang batas na Sharia sa nasabing bansa.

Narito sa ibaba ang detalye ng balita mula sa TREND.az

A Syrian Catholic priest has been publicly executed by rebels at a monastery in the northern Syria, the Vatican says, BBC reported.

Father Francois Murad, 49, was beheaded on 23 June when militants attacked the convent where he was staying.

The Vatican news agency said the circumstances of the killing were not fully clear.

But local sources said the attackers were linked to the jihadist group known as al-Nusra Front.

Unconfirmed video footage claiming to show the priest's death, together with that of two other unidentified people, has been posted on Catholic websites.

Father Murad had moved to the convent in the area of Gassanieh for safety reasons, the Vatican said.

He was a member of the Franciscan order, the official custodian of Christian sites in the Middle East.

Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the head of Franciscans in the region, said Syria had now become a battleground not only between Syrian forces but also between Arab countries and the international community.

"Let us pray so that this absurd and shameful war ends soon and that the people of Syria can go back to living a normal life," he said.

Correspondents say many of Syria's ethnic and religious minorities are being drawn into the conflict as the fighting intensifies and becomes more sectarian in nature.

Gunmen in northern Syria abducted two Orthodox Christian bishops in April as they travelled from the Turkish border back to the city of Aleppo

Protestanteng Historian Nadiskubre ang Tunay ng Iglesia ni Cristo

A Protestant Historian Discovers the Catholic Church
by A. David Anders, Ph.D.

I grew up an Evangelical Protestant in Birmingham, Alabama. My parents were loving and devoted, sincere in their faith, and deeply involved in our church. They instilled in me a respect for the Bible as the Word of God, and a desire for a living faith in Christ. Missionaries frequented our home and brought their enthusiasm for their work. Bookshelves in our house were filled with theology and apologetics. From an early age, I absorbed the notion that the highest possible calling was to teach the Christian faith. I suppose it is no surprise that I became a Church historian, but becoming a Catholic was the last thing I expected.

My family’s church was nominally Presbyterian, but denominational differences meant very little to us. I frequently heard that disagreements over baptism, the Lord’s Supper, or church government were unimportant as long as one believed the Gospel. By this we meant that one should be “born again,” that salvation is by faith alone, and that the Bible is the sole authority for Christian faith. Our church supported the ministries of many different Protestant denominations, but the one group we certainly opposed was the Catholic Church.

The myth of a Protestant “recovery” of the Gospel was strong in our church. I learned very early to idolize the Protestant Reformers Martin Luther and John Calvin, because they supposedly had rescued Christianity from the darkness of medieval Catholicism. Catholics were those who trusted in “good works” to get them to heaven, who yielded to tradition instead of Scripture, and who worshipped Mary and the saints instead of God. Their obsession with the sacraments also created an enormous impediment to true faith and a personal relationship with Jesus. There was no doubt. Catholics were not real Christians.

Alam niyo ba?

Pagdiriwang ng Misa para sa Uganda Martyr's Day. [Larawan mula sa Facebook page ng Holy Family Basilica]

Alam niyo bang ang tunay na Iglesia ay ang Iglesia Katolika lamang? At alam niyo rin bang HINDI TOTOONG natalikod ito?

Narito ang patunay mula mismo sa opisyal na magasing Pasugo ng samahang tatag ni Felix Manalo-- ang INC™-1914

PASUGO July August 1988 pp. 6.
“Even secular history shows a direct time link between the Catholic Church and the Apostles, leading to the conclusion that the true Church of Christ is the Catholic Church.”

PASUGO Mayo 1968, p. 5:
"Ano ang katangian ng maging Tupa ni Cristo? Sa Juan 10:28 ay ganito ang sabi: 'At sila'y binigyan ko ng walang hanggang buhay, at kailanma'y hindi sila malilipol, at hindi aagawin ng sinuman sa aking kamay'. Isang dakilang kapalaran ang maging Tupa o Tauhan ni Cristo sapagkat sila'y binibigyan niya ng walang hanggang buhay at hindi sila malilipol kailan man."

PASUGO Hunyo 1940, p. 27:

"Papaano ang pag-aalaga at pag-iingat sa pananampalataya? Wala tayong dapat gawin kundi manatili sa mga aral ng Dios na ating napag-aralan. Ito ang ginawa ng unang Iglesia. Sila'y nanatiling matibay sa aral ng mga Apostol. Ganito rin ang dapat nating gawin."


PASUGO, Abril 1966, p. 46:

“Ang totoo hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay patuloy na ginagawa ni Satanas ang pagpapasok ng mga maling aral sa Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula'y siyang Iglesia ni Cristo. Sadyang matalino at tuso ang diablo. Hindi niya ginawang biglaan ang pagtalikod sa Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo noong unang siglo."

Narito naman ang pagbubnyag ng yumaing Eraño Manalo tungkol dito.

"...ang Dios pagod na pagod ng katatatag, talikod naman ng talikod ang tao"

Kaya't lumalabas na si Felix Manalo at mga Protestante ang TUMALIKOD sa Iglesia-- HINDI ang Iglesia ang tumalikod sa kanila.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Aug 1, 2013 / 12:03 pm (CNA).- The young boy who brought Pope Francis to tears during World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro was greeted with cheers from his classmates when school resumed on July 30.

“Everyone already knew about his desire to be a priest and wanted to know about his encounter with the Pope and how he found the courage to get past the security guards.”

Alam niyo ba?

Alam niyo ba kung anong gusali itong larawan sa itaas?

Ito ang Central Office ng samahang Iglesia Ni Cristo® o mas kilala sa shortcut na INC™.  Itinatag po ito ni Feilx Manalo noong 1913 at pinarehistro noong Hulyo 27, 1914-- isang dating Katoliko, naging Protestante, Ateista, Agnostic hanggang sa napag-isipan niyang magtayo ng kanyang sariling samahan at pinarehistro niya bilang 'Corporation Sole' na siyang tagapagtatag at may-ari ng buong samahang ito.

Alam niyo ba kung sino ang nagdisenyo sa magarang gusaling ito?  Wala pong iba kundi isang dalubhasa at kilalang Architech na Katoliko-- siya si G. CARLOS A. SANTOS-VIOLA.

Carlos A. Santos-Viola

Bagamat maraming beses nang hinikayat na umanib sa samahan ni Felix Manalo sa INC™ ngunit magalang na tumanggi ito at nanatiling isang debotong Katoliko at matagal nanilbihan sa Our Lady of Lourdes Parish sa Lungsod Quezon ayon sa Wikipedia.

Iglesia ni Cristo sa Kayu Tangan, Malang, Indonesia

CATHOLIC CHURCH of SACRED HEART of JESUS- Parish ng Kayu Tangan, Malang, Indonesia

Dating Calvinist ngayo'y kaanib na ng Iglesia ni Cristo

Isa na namang kwento ng pagbabalik-loob ng isang Protestante sa pagiging Katoliko. Mula sa Coming Home Network

From Calvin to Catholicism

by Brian Besong

My father was raised a Roman Catholic but attended Houston Baptist University on a scholarship; my mother was raised in a Protestant household and baptized as a Protestant in her youth. She also attended Houston Baptist, where she met my father. Prior to the wedding, my mother “converted” to Catholicism, but her conversion was superficial at best. The priest who conducted her initiation classes swept her serious reservations about points of the Catholic Faith aside and hastened her toward Confirmation. She was confirmed, though she was never told to make a first Confession. Her weak adoption of Catholicism was short-lived and by the time I was born, both of my parents had abandoned Catholicism and had begun attending a Disciples of Christ church. This was where my mother’s family went to church and it bore a liturgical style similar enough to the Catholic Mass for my father not to feel too strong a discomfort in making the switch. The main thing I remember about this church concerned my desire to be baptized. Although I believed what was told to me about Jesus and knew that people who believed those things were supposed to be baptized, the church refused to allow me to be baptized because they thought I was not yet old enough to make a more serious act of faith.

Buhay na Buhay ang Iglesia! Tatlong Milyon sa Misa ni Papa Francis

Mahigit Tatlong Milyong mga Katoliko ang dumalo sa Misa ni Santo Papa Francis sa Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Ang nagsasabing "Ang Iglesia Katolika ay Tuluyan ng Bumagsak sa Kanluran" ay hindi lang nagkakamali kundi mandaraya at mapanlinlang.  Heto at mahigit TATLONG MILYON po ang mga dumalo sa pagtatapos na Misa ng WYD na pinangungunahan ni Santo Papa Francisco sa Rio de Janeiro, Brazil na kinabibilangan ng halos 2.5 na mga kabataang kaanib ng tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo. 

Hindi po ito haka-haka lamang o sabi-sabi, media na po ang nagpapatunay na BUHAY na BUHAY pa ang orihinal na IGLESIA NI CRISTO: Huffington Post, Sydney Morning Post, New York Daily News, Global Post, Times of India, Daily Mail UK, USA Today, Fox News, BBC News, France 24, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Hindu Times, Saudi Gazette, Japan Times, Al Jazeera at marami pang iba.

RIO DE JANEIRO - Pope Francis' historic trip to his home continent ended Sunday after a marathon weeklong visit to Brazil that drew millions of people onto the sands of Rio de Janeiro's iconic Copacabana beach and appeared to reinvigorate the clergy and faithful alike in the world's largest Catholic country.

Dignitaries including Brazilian Vice-President Michel Temer turned out at Rio's Antonio Carlos Jobim international airport to bid farewell to the Argentine-born pontiff after a visit marked by big moments. They included a visit to a vast church dedicated to Brazil's patron saint, a rainy walk through one of Rio's dangerous slums and a papal Mass that was one of the biggest in recent history.

Speaking from a white stage on the sands of Copacabana on Sunday, Francis urged a crowd estimated at 3 million people to go out and spread their faith "to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent."

"The church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you!" he said to applause in his final homily of World Youth Day festivities.

Later Sunday, he issued a more pointed message to the region's bishops, telling them to better look out for their flocks and put an end to the "clerical" culture that places priests on pedestals — often with what Francis called the "sinful complicity" of lay Catholics who hold the clergy in such high esteem...
