Papa Francisco, lider ng Iglesia ni Cristo: Pang-apat sa Pinaka-dakilang lider sa buong mundo!

Fortune Online

Nasaan na kaya si Eduardo V. Manalo (EVM) ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® - 1914; Eliseo Soriano ng Ang Dating Daan o si Eddie Villanueva ng Jesus Is Lord Church (JIL) o si Quiboloy, ang nagpapakilalang "Appointed Son of God"?

Saan kaya patutungo ang kanilang mga itinatag na "iglesia"?  Anong uri ng pangangasiwa kaya ang ginagawa nila't hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay kulelat pa rin sila pagdating sa recognition ng mga kilalang mga international magazines katulad ng Fortune?   Hudyat nga ba ng pagiging peke ng mga iglesiang nagpapakilalang "tunay" daw sila na "Iglesiang" kay Cristo? Hindi ba't sa kanilang paglitaw sa mga huling araw ay isang hudyat na nagkakatotoo ang mga hula sa Biblia ng pagdating ng mga manlilinlang at mga mandaraya, at mga nagpapanggap ng mga propeta at mga sugo raw ng Dios?

Di bale, huwag na natin pong usisahin pa kung anong pagka-lider ang meron sila pero ang mahalaga ay itong Kahalili ni Apostol San Pedro,  ang Obispo ng Iglesia sa Roma at lider ng NAG-IISA, PANGKALAHATANG IGLESIA KATOLIKA ay napiling ika-4 na pinakadakilang lider sa buong mundo ayon sa Fortune Magazine.

In it's second just released list, Francis is given fourth place in the ranking of the "extraordinary men and women who are transforming business, government, philanthropy, and so much more,"according to magazine. 

Since becoming Pope in 2013, the magazine said that Francis, the former Jorge Mario Bergoglio, "has been shaking up the management of one of the world’s largest bureaucracies: the Roman Catholic Church." 

While noting this earned him the "top spot" on Fortune's list of World's Greatest Leaders last year, the magazine says "his vision, fortitude, and commitment to reform were so extraordinary in 2014 that we’re including him again this year." 

"It is not just that he has led by example—by now it’s well known that the pope, who has long championed the virtues of charity and modesty, has forgone the traditional suite in the Apostolic Palace, opting instead to reside in a one-bedroom apartment in the Vatican guesthouse."... ituloy ang pagbabasa mula sa Zenit

"In Brooklyn, Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio prayed for the perseverance and strength of the men and women as they entered the final stage of their journey to be members of the diocese. He told them the devil would continue to tempt them, just as he did Jesus in the desert. He said the works of Satan include the 4 “Ds”: deception, division, diversion and discouragement. 

"Ted Musco, Brooklyn’s diocesan director of faith formation, said that many times people think that great numbers are leaving the Catholic Church and are not aware of those joining..." ITULOY ANG PAGBABASA MULA SA Catholic News Service!

Malaking Pandaraya ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® tatag ni Felix Manalo (o INC™) ang sabihin nilang "bumalik" na raw sa Jerusalem ang "tunay" na Iglesia ni Cristo!

Sadyang MANLILINLANG ang mga MANALO at ng kanilang mga BAYARANG MINISTRO sa pagtuturong "BUMALIK" na raw sa TUNAY NA TAHANAN ang "tunay" na Iglesia Ni Cristo noong opisyal na ipnarehistro ni Eraño G. Manalo ang kanilang kumpanya sa Jerusalem noong 1996.

"... the fulfillment of the prophesied return of God's people to their original abode, Jerusalem, as marked by the official registration of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) in the city of Jerusalem in February of that year." [1996]
-PASUGO God's Message, February 2014, p. 7.

"This was followed by the Church's official registration in two other historic cities: Jerusalem in 1996, which marked the fulfillment of a prophesied return of the true Church to its original home..."PASUGO God's Message, April 2014, "The Iglesia Ni Cristo resettlement projects: Triumph after tragedy", pp. 28-31 (by Marlex C.

Kung sadyang NAKABALIK na pala ang TUNAY na IGLESIA NI CRISTO® sa JERUSALEM na kanyang PINAGMULAN at TUNAY na TAHANAN eh bakit HANGGANG NGAYON nasa PILIPINAS pa rin ang CENTRAL ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO®?!!

At bakit sa loob ng WALONG TAON (8 YEARS) eh di man lang nagpaparamdam sa mga taga-Jerusalem na "BUMALIK" na pala ang tunay daw na Iglesia? At di rin nila alam na "UMALIS" pala ang tunay na Iglesia? Hahahaha....

'Yan ang sinasabi natin, madaling MAGSALITA pero MAHIRAP PATUNAYAN!

At para naman sa kaalaman ng mga tagasunod ni FELIX MANALO at nang kanilang mga BAYARANG MINISTRO narito po ang ginagawa ng mga TUNAY NA KRISTIANO sa JERUSALEM na TUNAY na KAANIB ng TUNAY na IGLESIANG KAY CRISTO at sa DIOS!!!

SEMANA SANTA NA: Bakit may Palaspas sa tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo?

Sa tuwing pagpasok ng Semana Santa sa tunay at nag-iisang Iglesia ni Cristo, ang mga Katoliko ay tumutungo sa Simbahan bitbit ang kanilang mga Palaspas kasama ng buong pamilya, nagsisimba, sumasamba at nagpupuri sa Diyos na si araw na ito ay pararangalan sa kanyang matagumpay na pagpasok sa Jerusalem!

Mababasa natin ito sa Banal na Kasulatan sa Mateo 21:1-10 kung saan si Jesus ay binigyan ng parangal at papuri sa kanyang pagpasok sa Lungsod ng Jerusalem.  

Ang mga tao, ay naglatag ng kanilang mga balabal sa daraanan ni Jesus, pumutol sila ng mga sanga ng olivo at iniwagayway kay Jesus bilang isang "Triumphant King".  Sigaw pa pa nila ay "Hosana sa anak ni David! Pinagpala ang naparirito sa ngalan ng Panginoon! Hosana sa kaitaasan!"

Upang lalo pa nating maunawaan ang kahalagahan ng Linggo ng Palaspas (Palm Sunday), narito ang 9 na mungkahi ng National Catholic Register para sa atinng mga tunay na kaanib ng tunay at nag-iisang Iglesia ni Cristo:

1. What is this day called? 

The day is called both "Palm Sunday" and "Passion Sunday." 

The first name comes from the fact that it commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, when the crowd had palm branches (John 12:13). 

The second name comes from the fact that the narrative of the Passion is read on this Sunday (it otherwise wouldn't be read on a Sunday, since the next Sunday is about the Resurrection).

According to the main document on the celebration of the feasts connected with Easter, Paschales Solemnitatis:
Holy Week begins on "Passion (or Palm) Sunday" which joins the foretelling of Christ's regal triumph and the proclamation of the passion. The connection between both aspects of the Paschal Mystery should be shown and explained in the celebration and catechesis of this day.

Unuuusig Ngunit Hindi Natitinag: Ang Iglesia ni Cristo sa Iraq sa Pagdiriwang ng Linggo ng Palaspas!

Sabi ng INC™ ni Manalo (1914), isang PANUKAT daw kung alin ang PEKE sa TUNAY na IGLESIA ay makikita sa kung SINO ang INUUSIG (Pasugo Nov. 1964, p. 2,1)

Kulang pa bang patunay itong larawan sa ibaba? (Salamat sa aking kaibigang Kristiano sa Iraq na si Aamer sa pagbibigay sa akin ng mga larawang ito.

At narito ang hiling ng atin gmga kapatid sa tunay na Iglesia. Huwag kaligtaang basahin at ipagdasal sila ngayong Semana Santa at mag-alay ng inyong sakripisyo alang-alang sa kanilang paghihirap mula sa mga umuusig na Muslim! 

"CHRISTIANITY MUST SURVIVE AND THRIVE IN IRAQ AND THE MIDDLE EAST, WHERE IT WAS BORN!"

This is what our cities and villages will look like when we are fully armed and are able to protect them with the appropriate weaponry to combat extreme terrorism. Some people ask me why should we need our own military units? It is evident, the minorities in Iraq and Syria have been persecuted to a point of near complete annihilation under other failed strategies. Therefore, arming them and giving them the ability and opportunity to survive against radicalism is the least we can do besides the internationally protected safe haven that we should immediately implement.

This is my grandmother's village of ***** [itinago ang lugar para sa kanilang kaligtasan], Iraq on Palm Sunday. Now do you understand why it's so important to support our military units such as the NPU. We are unsure of when the sectarian violence will ever end, our population has dropped to such a dangerous amount that we can not risk it any further. We must be able to speak our Aramaic language, pray in our Aramaic prayers, attend church regularly, attend schools freely and walk on our own native lands we have inhabited for almost 7,000 years with absolutely no oppression by occupations and extremism especially as indigenous . Nineveh is the ancient capital of Assyria, we are not asking for a province that does not belong to us, we are the indigenous people of Iraq and that is not negotiable.

Humanity is saved by paying close attention to the original care takers of Iraq and Syria, the true homeowners who built the foundation of Iraq. The Assyrian Christians including our Chaldean and Syriac churches are the cradlers of civilization and we demand an internationally protected safe haven of the Nineveh Province with highly advanced weaponry to combat highly funded and large terrorist militias.

Si Felix Manalo ang Nagtatag ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® (INC™) ayon sa mga lokal na pahayagan!

Ayon sa opisyal na magasin ng Iglesia Ni Cristo®, ang kanilang Iglesia raw ay itinatag daw ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, taliwas sa kaalaman ng ating mga mamamahayag.

"Ang Panginoong Jesucristo na tagapagtatag mismo ng Iglesia, ang mga apostol Niya, at higit sa lahat, ang Dakilang Dios, ang mga nagpapatotoo kung alin lamang sa napakaraming iglesia at pangkatin ng pananampalataya ngayon ang iisang Iglesiang itinatag ni Cristo..." (PASUGO God's Message, "Ang mga Nagpapatotoo tungkol sa Iglesia Ni Cristo", February 2012, p. 27)

Heto at tahasang sinasabi ng PhilStar online, na si Felix Manalo nga raw ang NAGTATAG ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO® o ang INC™ at hindi si Cristo!

"Albert Martinez (photo) has withdrawn from the cast of Felix Y. Manalo: The Last Messenger, the historical biopic of Felix Y. Manalo, founder of the Iglesia ni Kristo."

Ganon din naman ang sinabi ng Tempo sa kanilang balita:

"Albert Martinez is no longer in the cast of “Sugo,” the filmbio of Bishop Felix Manalo, founder of the Iglesia ni Cristo. He backed out for personal reasons."

Hindi kaya paninira lamang ito ng PhilStar at Tempo sa Iglesia Ni Cristo® sa pagsabing si "Felix Manalo" ang siyang "nagtatag" ng "Iglesia Ni Cristo" at HINDI ang ating Panginoong Jesucristo?

Abangan...

Pakatandaan:

• Ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® ay Registered Trademark, isang Korporasyon na tatag ni Felix Manalo noong 1914!
• Ang Iglesia ni Cristo ay ang Iglesia Katolika na siyang tatag mismo ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo noong unang siglo pa!

Ang "Brad Pitt ng Mexico" inuna ang pananampalataya kaysa katanyagan!

Isa na namang patotoo ng isang kaanib ng tunay at nag-iisang Iglesiang tatag ni Cristo -- ang Iglesia Katolika. Tinalikdan niya ang katanyagan alang-alang sa kanyang pananampalataya at ngayo'y gumagawa na ng mga pelikulang angkop sa ating kapanahuhan!

Why the "Brad Pitt of Mexico," Eduardo Verastegui, Left Acting to Make Movies for God

Eduardo Verástegui put his faith at the center of his career

[Source: Aleteia] At 28 years old, Eduardo Verástegui was a rising star. After his success as a telenovela actor in his native country of Mexico, he landed coveted roles when he came to America, including a role opposite Jennifer Lopez in a music video, posing for Calvin Klein, and a lead in the 2003 romantic comedy Chasing Papi.

But just as his Hollywood career was taking off, Verástegui made a decision that changed the course of his life and career: He decided to leave the Hollywood scene—at least the way he was living it. In an interview with Guideposts, Verástegui said it all started with conversations he had with his English tutor.

Ang 'Spanish Inquisition' ay 99% Kathang-isip lamang!

Sa mga kumakalaban sa tunay at nag-iisang Iglesia ni Cristo, ginagamit nilang panlaban sa atin ang "Spanish Inquisition" bilang patunay daw na ang Iglesiang ito ay "hindi" kay Cristo at Dios sapagkat "pumapatay" daw sila ng mga di-kaanib.

Sa pagbubukas ng "archives" ng tungkol sa Spanish Inquisition, ating siyasatin kung totoo ba ang mga ikinalat na paninira ng mga kampon ng kasinungalingan?
