Ano ang ibig sabihin sa mga kulay sa kasuotan ng isang pari?

Larawan po ng isang pari di umano na umanib daw sa INC™ ni Felix Manalo (1914)

Para po sa kabatiran ng mga di-Katoliko, ang MGA KULAY po sa mga kasuotan ng pari ay HINDI po lamang NAGKATAON. Ito po ay may MALALIM na KAHULUGAN at sinusunod po ito ng bawat pari sa bawat sulok ng mundo. Mula Gitnang Silangan hanggang sa Vatican, iisa lamang po ang kulay na sinusuot ng mga pari sa tuwing nag-mimisa.

Isang kasinungalingang pagsasalarawan ng isang tunay na pari na magsuot ng 'Luntian' at 'Pula'. 

Sa nakikita niyong kasuotan ng nagpapanggap na paring Katoliko na tumiwalag at UMANIB daw sa Iglesiang TATAG NI FELIX MANALO noong 1914, ay isang panlilinlang.

Ayon sa dummies.com, ang BERDE o GREEN ay"

The color of vestments used during ordinary time. (Ordinary time is the rest of the year that’s not the Christmas or Easter season — it’s still important, it just has an unexciting name.)

Ang PULA o RED naman ay:

For on feasts of the Passion of Jesus and for the Holy Spirit, representing red tongues of fire, in addition to being worn for the feasts of martyred saints, who shed their red blood for Christ.

Ibig ba nilang palabasin na ang kulay na pinili ay KULAY NG IGLESIA NI CRISTO na hanggang ngayon ay walang opisyal na paliwanag.

Kasanayan na ng mga umaanib sa Iglesia Ni Cristo® - 1914 ang panlilinlang at pagsisinungaling.  Huwag nating tularan ang ganitong pag-uugali sapagkat ito ay kasuklam-suklam sa Diyos (Prov. 11:1)

Kung may Katoliko man na umanib sa kanilang samahan, hayaan na lamang po natin sapagkat AYON SA BIBLIA  (2 Tim. 3:13) may mga nadadaya ang mga bulaang propeta kaya't NATUTUPAD ito sa loob ng INC™ na tatag ni Felix Manlo noong 1914.

Alin ang naiba?

Here is my question to Iglesia ni Cristo:

My Message for Joe Ventilacion (INC™) Regarding His Education At Harvard University

Source: The Splendor of the Church Blog

When Kuya Adviser posted his article on his FB page, Ventilacion posted comments on his FB page about me. He said I was challenging him and asking questions about textual criticism and that I have to study more about this topic.

He is simply boasting that he studied at Harvard University. He posted this on his FB Page conspicuously.

I am just wondering who among bible and textual scholars from Harvard University favor the interpretation made by Jose Ventilacion.

I asked Dr. Eugene Ulrich, a former professor at Harvard University who among his colleagues do not agree with King Cyrus referring to “Bird of Prey” in Isaiah 46:11. It is clear that Ventilacion does not concur with this and instead, he makes it appear that Felix Manalo is the one just like what his Church is doing.

Here is the email response of Dr. Eugene Ulrich:

By the way, Dr. Eugene Ulrich is one of my mentors in Biblical Languages.

Now, you studied at Harvard but you did not follow your professors and mentors in textual criticism who said explicitly that Cyrus is really being referred to as the Bird of Prey in Isaiah 46:11 and yet, it is Manalo whom you are pointing at.

It is clear you studied at Harvard University not to learn from the experts and it is not for you to boast about it. So, you do not follow what you learned.

You attended the SBL Annual Meeting and you were given the go-signal by your Executive Minister, Eduardo V. Manalo.

If it was Dr. James Richard Saley who delivered the lecture and you attended that, participated and listened; is it not a slap on your face as a result of what is written in your Pasugo Magazine?

I asked Dr. Eugene Ulrich if he knows Dr. James Richard Saley. Dr. Eugene Ulrich told me they are good friends and he presumes Dr. Saley is a Protestant.

Does Dr. James Richard Saley know that you taught your listeners that Felix Manalo is the Bird of Prey in Isaiah 46:11? Can you ask him if he agrees with your interpretation? 🙂

So, Joe Ventilacion listened to a Protestant whom you addressed as Devil. And, you studied at Harvard University wherein some professors are Protestants.

I give you 2 weeks to answer my post at splendor that INC members can read. I pray that you will be enlightened as well as them someday or they will soon realize your false teachings.

Answer the following because you studied textual criticism at Harvard University:

1. Who are the Bible Professors and Textual Scholars from Harvard University favor your interpretation that Felix Manalo is the Bird of Prey in Isaiah 46:11?
2. Who are the textual scholars from Harvard University who taught you that you translated Mizrach in Isaiah 43:5 of Aleppo Codex as “Far East”? Give me the names of at least 3 textual scholars.
3. Who are the textual scholars from Harvard University whom you can prove translated the Greek word (Logos) in John 1:1 to “idea” as you did?
4. Who are the textual scholars (at least three) from Harvard University who can give testimonies that your LAMSA Translation is Accurate?

I will wait for your reply, Joe Ventilacion.

And, if you are boasting that we need to square off in a debate, do not give me any conditions that I should pay for the venue rental since there are many public venues which are free.

Just tell me when and I will submit my proposal to the nearest INC Local.

Prove that the LAMSA is accurate using Greek text and testimonies of Aramaic scholars if you are really intelligent in textual criticism and that I still need to study.

Sincerely,

Bro. Duane

Narinig niyo na ba ang tungkol sa "Our Lady of Zeitoun'?

Malamang, hindi masyadong pamilyar sa inyong pandinig ang salitang "ZEITOUN'.  Ito ay isang lugar sa bansang EGYPT. 

Ano naman ang kahalagahan ng salitang "Zeitoun" sa ating pananampalatayang Kristianismo? Kung alam ninyo ang kwento ng 'FATIMA' (Portugal) o ng 'LOURDES' (France), magkakaroon kayo ng interest na alamin ito sapagkat ito ay nangyari lamang kamakailan-- NOONG 1968 lamang!

Witnessed by Millions: The Confounding Apparition of Our Lady of Zeitoun

by ChurchPOP Editor

via faithofthefathersapparitions.blogspot.com / ChurchPOP

Israel had just prevailed in the Six-Day War the previous year. Egypt lost the Sinai Peninsula to Israel. On both sides, passions were high and people were scared. The whole Middle East was in turmoil.

And it was in the midst of this chaos that Our Lady appeared.

[See also: The Earliest Alleged Marian Apparition Dates to… A.D. 40]

[See also: The Night Charles Dickens Was Haunted By the Spirit of… the Virgin Mary?]

It was the evening of April 2, 1968. A Muslim bus mechanic named Farouk Mohammed Atwa was working across the street from St. Mary Coptic Church in Zeitoun, a district of Cairo, Egypt. The church is revered as one of the locations Christians believe the Holy Family stayed during their flight to Egypt.

Suddenly, something on the roof of St. Mary’s caught his eye: a figure that appeared to be a young woman. He pointed it out to a few people nearby who saw the same thing. Worried that someone was about ready to commit suicide, they called the local police. A crowd gathered to watch the spectacle. Then, after just a few minutes, the beautiful figure quickly vanished.

Over the next few days, everyone was talking about it. Who was it? Where did she go? What did it mean? The police said it was just some light reflecting in a weird way from a street light – but the crowd knew that wasn’t the case.

Then, exactly one week later, on April 9th, the figure appeared again! Like the first time, she stuck around only for a few minutes before disappearing. And it started to dawn on people what was going on: it was the Blessed Virgin Mary!

Here is a picture (also see article picture at the top):

She started appearing more frequently, sometimes staying around for hours at a time. She sometimes appeared to be bowing toward the cross on the church or blessing those watching on the streets below. And sometimes there appeared around her what some took to be doves of light.

Here is a picture of some of the purported doves:

Huge crowds flocked to see her. Church officials, government officials, scientists, believers, and skeptics all saw her. The President of Egypt at the time, President Gamal Abdel Nasser, visited the site and saw the apparition. TV crews captured it on film. Newspapers took pictures and wrote stories about the phenomenon. The police did another thorough investigation, but came up short: they could find no natural or human explanation.

Soon, the head of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, Pope Kyrillos VI of Alexandria launched an investigation. At the same time, a group of Catholic nuns who saw the apparition sent a report to the Vatican, who in turn sent their own team to investigate, and who also the apparition. Because the apparition was on a Coptic church, though, the Vatican decided to let the Coptic Church officials make a ruling.

Which they did on May 5th, 1968: the apparition was real!

But that’s not all: the Egyptian government also did an investigation and, amazingly, publicly accepted the apparitions to be real as well.

In all, the apparition was witnessed by somewhere between hundreds of thousands and millions of people, until Mary appeared for the last time in 1971.

Here’s a short video about the apparition:

Our Lady of Zeitoun, pray for us!

IMAHE: Bawal ba Ayon sa Exodo 20?

Sa samahang itinatag ng Ka Felix Manalo, ang INC™, malimit nilang ginagamit ang Exodo 20 bilang panlaban sa mga kaanib ng tunay na Iglesiang tatag ni Cristo - ang Iglesia Katolika. Sinasabi nila ng paulit ulit sa mga inaaralan nilang mga bagong anib na mga dating Katoliko na 'PAGANO' raw tayo sapagkat tayo'y may mga imahe sa ating mga Simbahan at mga medalyon na may mga imahe ng mga santo at santa o ng Panginoong Hesus.

Mula sa panahon ni Ginoong Felix hanggang sa kanilang mga Ministro sa kasalukuyan, isa ito sa pinaka-malimit nilang gamit na pang-atake sa mga Katoliko, ang usapin patungkol sa mga IMAHE.

Ito rin ang dahilan kung bakit sukdulan ang galit ni G. Manalo sa mga Katoliko kaya't nasabi niyang tayo ay mga ampon ng diablo.

“Ang Iglesia ni Cristo ay nagdaos ng pamamahayag sa Lunsod ng Davao. Nagsalita roon si Kapatid na Felix Manalo at ang kasama niyang mga Ministro. Ipinahayag doon ng mga nagsalita na ang Iglesia Katolika Romana ay hindi itinatag ni Cristo kundi itinatag ng Diablo." -PASUGO Oktubre 1956, p. 1:

Di nagtagal, isang taon pagkamatay ni Felix Manalo, gumawa ang "Iglesia Ni Cristo®" ng INANYUHANG BAGAY sa anyong isang medalyon na ipinamigay sa kanilang mga kaanib.

Kaya't ang tanong naman sa mga kaanib ng INC™ ay ganito: Bawal ba talaga ang paggawa ng imahe ayon sa Exodo 20?  Bakit sa panahon ni Felix Manalo naging bawal? Bakit sa panahon ni Eraño at ni Eduardo ay maaari na ang gumawa ng inanyuhang bagay?

DAGSA ANG MGA MUSLIM NA YUMAYAKAP KAY CRISTONG PANGINOON AT DIYOS!

Purihin ang Diyos na buhay! Purihin ang Panginoong Hesus at Purihin ang Espiritung Banal -- Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo - IISANG DIYOS magkapakailanman!

Scores of Muslims Turning to Christ in Middle East; Churches Expecting 'Millions' of Converts

BY STOYAN ZAIMOV , CHRISTIAN POST REPORTER
Jan 9, 2017 | 8:36 AM

Thousands of Muslims are turning to Jesus Christ and what they view as the "religion of freedom" amid ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East, reports indicate. Some churches hope that millions of people will accept Christ amid a "spiritual hunger" that is forming in the wake of persecution.

(REUTERS/Thaier Al-Sudani)Iraqi Christians attend a mass on Christmas at St. Joseph Chaldean church in Baghdad, Iraq December 25, 2016.

Voice Of the Martyrs Canada, which supports Christian radio broadcasts in the region, told BosNewsLife that despite the mass exodus of Christians from Iraq and Syria due to terrorism, persecution, and war, scores of Muslims are making the decision to embrace Christianity.

"There are thousands upon thousands coming to Christ," VOMC revealed. "We are in regular contact with our FM stations in Iraq and have talked with many people who have family in the Middle East."

"Some of our Middle Eastern broadcasters have shared testimonies [about many turning to Christ] with us, which they hear directly from listeners when visiting there ..."

In Iran, Christian house churches are regularly targeted and shut down by the nation's Islamic government. Despite this persecution, mission group Elam Ministries revealed that Christians have been growing in terms of numbers, and today estimates suggest there are 360,000 believers in Iran – up from only 500 in 1979.

"Church leaders believe that millions can be added to the church in the next few years -- such is the spiritual hunger that exists and the disillusionment with the Islamic regime," Elam Ministries stated.

"If we remain faithful to our calling, our conviction is that it is possible to see the nation transformed within our lifetime. Because Iran is a strategic gateway nation, the growing church in Iran will impact Muslim nations across the Islamic world."

Muslim refugees in Europe have also reportedly been undergoing mass conversions of faith. A June 2016 article from The Guardian noted anecdotal data of rising Christian church attendance in Europe by Muslims.

Trinity church in the Berlin suburb of Steglitz, for instance, saw its congregation rise from 150 to 700 due to new Muslim converts, while the Austrian Catholic Church saw its applications for adult baptism swell by nearly 70 percent in the first three months of 2016.

"I found that the history of Islam was completely different from what we were taught at school. Maybe, I thought, it was a religion that began with violence," an Iranian convert, 32-year-old Johannes, said.

"A religion that began with violence cannot lead people to freedom and love. Jesus Christ said 'those who use the sword will die by the sword.' This really changed my mind," he added.

More churches in Germany reported this growing phenomena in December 2016, with The Independent noting that Muslims, especially Iranians, are seeing Christianity as a new chance at freedom.

"A lot of them come to Germany and think, here I can choose my religion and I want to choose a religion of freedom," said Matthias Linke, a priest from the Evangelical-Freikirchlichen Gemeinde in Berlin.

"For many Iranians that I've baptized, Christianity is the religion of freedom."
