Bakit Kailangan Ang Tunay na Iglesia at Hindi ang Huwad na Iglesiang Tatag ni Felix Manalo sa Pilipinas?

Narito na naman ang isang video ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® 1914 na pinamagatang "Bakit Kailangan Ang Tunay na Iglesia?" 

Mahaba ang nasabing episode ngunit ating tatalakayin lamang nating ang mga unang ilang minuto ng kanilang episode. Ipapaliwanag natin kung bakit KAILANGAN natin unawain ang kahalagahan ng PAG-ANIB sa TUNAY na Iglesiang TATAG MISMO ng ating PANGINOONG HESUS at HINDI ang HUWAD na iglesiang TATAG ni taong katulad ni GINOONG FELIX Y. MANALO sa PILIPINAS noong 1914

 

HUWAD NA IGLESIA

Sa pambungad na salaysay ni Ginoong Leonardo Pidlaoan Jr., [1:30] sinasabi niyang may ilan daw na umanib na sa Iglesiang tatag ni Ginoong Felix Y. Manalo, ang INC™, at naging "ganap" na raw ang kanilang pananampalataya matapos raw na "marinig ang mga aral ng ating Panginoong Diyos" sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga bayarang ministro.

Linawin lamang po natin. HINDI PO ARAL ng ating PANGINOONG DIYOS ang ipinangangaral ng kanilang mga bayarang ministro kundi ARAL po ito ni Ginoong FELIX Y. MANALO ayon na rin sa PAG-AMIN ng kanilang magasing PASUGO.  

PASUGO Agosto-Setyembre 1964, p. 5 “Kailan napatala sa Pamahalaan o narehistro ang INK sa Pilipinas? Noong Hulyo 27, 1914. Tunay nga na sinasabi sa rehistro na si Kapatid na F. Manalo ang nagtatag ng INK."

PASUGO May 1961, p.4: “At sino nga ba ang gumagawa ng mga leksiyong itinuturo ng mga ministro, maging sa mga pagsamba, mga doktrina o mga Propaganda? Ang Kapatid na Felix Manalo.”

PASUGO Mayo 1963, p. 27: “Kaya’t sa katuparan ng hula, ang lahat ng mga itinuturo ng mga Ministro ng INK sa mga pagsamba, sa mga doktrina, sa mga pamamahayag sa gitna ng bayan, ay si Kapatid na Felix Manalo lamang ang bumabalangkas at nagtuturo sa kanila.”

Malinaw po ang kanilang mga pahayag., na ang INC™ ay si kapatid na Felix Manalo ang NAGTATAG. 

Walang aral na galing sa Diyos na masusumpungan sa kanilang mga doktrina sapagkat ang mga ITINUTURO nilang LAHAT ay BINALANGKAS mula sa mga KATHA at sa SARILING UNAWA ni Ginong Felix Y. Manalo na siyang NAGTATAG at NAGREHISTRO ng "Iglesia Ni Cristo®" sa Pilipinas!

At dahil SIYA ANG NAGTATAG ng INC™, SIYA rin ang GUMAGAWA ng mga leksiyonng ITINUTURO ng mga ministro. 

Si G. FELIX Y. MANALO rin ang gumawa ng leksiyon sa PAGSAMBA. 

Si G. FELIX Y. MANALO rin ang GUMAWA ng kanilang DOKTRINA o PROPAGANDA. TANGING si FELIX MANALO lamang LAHAT ang gumawa!

Ang PAGSULPOT ng INC™ sa Pilipinas noong 1914 ay isang "katuparan" daw ng "hula". SANG-AYON po tayo diyan. Ang pagsulpot ng huwad na iglesia (raw) ni Cristo sa Pilipinas ay katuparan ng mga hula sa Biblia.

Bago pa man SUMULPOT ang Iglesia Protestante noong noong 1517, at ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® noong 1914, PINAUNA na ng Biblia ang pagbibigay ng BABALA na darating ang mga BULAANG MANGANGARAL!

Ang sabi ng ating Panginong Hesus ng ganito: 

"Mag-ingat sana kayo at huwag padaya kanino man. Sapagkat marami ang magsisiparito sa aking pangalan... At  marami ang madadaya... Lilitaw ang maraming huwad na propeta upang iligaw ang mga tao... lilitaw ang mga huwad na Cristo at mga huwad na propeta na magpapakita ng malalaking tanda at mga kababalaghan, upang iligaw, kung maaari lamang, kahit na ang mga hinirang." -Mateo 24:3-12;24

PANAHON pa ng Panginoong Hesus at mga alagad NAPAKALINAW na ng BABALA! Darating ang mga HUWAD na mangangaral at gagamitin ang pangalan ng ating Panginoong HesuKristo para makapanlinlang! Sounds familiar!

Kailan pa itong babalang ito? Mahigit 1,432 TAON bago pa sumulpot ang Protestantismo noong 1517!  Mahigit 1,829 TAON bago pa itatag ni G. Felix Manalo ang kanyang INC™ noong 1914!

At nakakapangilabot na SILA pa ang may lakas-loob na gamitin ang mga talata ng Biblia ukol sa pagdating mga mga bulaang propeta samantalang SILA ang katuparan ng mga hulang ito?

Si APOSTOL SAN PABLO, hindi rin nagpahuli sa PAGBIBIGAY ng kaparehong BABALA. Aniya:

"Sapagkat darating ang panahon na hindi na maaatim ng mga tao ang mabuting aral; sa halip, dala ng kanilang mga pithaya at sa pangangati ng kanilang mga tainga ay magbubunton sa kanilang sarili ng mga guro at itatalikod ang tainga sa katotohanan at ibabaling naman sa mga alamat." -II Timoteo 4:3-4

Hindi nga ba't ALAMAT lamang ang PAG-AANGKIN ni G. Felix Y. Manalo SIYA AY ANGHEL na hinulaan daw sa Biblia? 

Hindi ba't ALAMAT din ang PAG-AANGKIN nila na ang pagsulpot raw ng INC™ sa Pilipinas noong 1914 ay nahulaan din daw sa Biblia? 

At ang mga alamat na ito ay siyang kanilang saligan ng mga doktrina at turo nilang galing raw sa Diyos? 

Samantalang malinaw nilang INAMIN na si Felix Y. Manalo ang BUMALANGKAS at GUMAWA ng lahat ng TURO, LEKSIYON at DOKTRINA na kanilang ITINUTURO, PINANGANGARAL, PINAPANIWALAAN at SINASAMPALATAYANAN?!

Mas MATANDA pa ang BABALANG ITO kaysa sa PAGKAKATATAG ng INC™. Ang INC™ ay 106 taon pa lamang umiiral. Samantalang ang babalang ito ay mahigit 1,377 - 1,824 taon na!

Ngunit may PAKUNSWELO ang ating Panginoong Hesus sa ATING mga tunay na KAANIB sa TUNAY na Iglesia! Mataimtim niyang IPINANGAKO sa ATING mga HINIRANG na SIYA (SI CRISTO) ay SUMASAATIN sa LAHAT ng ARAW HANGGANG sa WAKAS ng PANAHON! (Mateo 28:20).

Kung SUMASAATIN ang ating Panginoong sa LAHAT NG ARAW, ibig lamang sabihin nito na HINDI NIYA INIWAN ang KANYANG IGLESIA. 

TALIWAS sa aral ng INC™ na NATALIKOD na raw na GANAP ang UNANG IGLESIANG TATAG ni Cristo, NANGAKO ang Panginong Hesus na HINDI AALIS, HINDI LILISAN at HINDI TATALIKOD sa KANYANG IGLESIA, kaya't MAKASISIGURADO tayong kailanman HINDI MATATALIKOD ang Kaniyang tatag na Iglesia (Mateo 16:18) 

At dahil diyan LALONG NALANTAD ang KASINUNGALINGAN ng mga ARAL at TURO ni G. Felix Y. Manalo ukol sa "TOTAL APOSTACY" o TULUYANG PAGTALIKOD daw ng SINAUNANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO ~ ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA!

At ang pangako niyang HINDI TATALIKOD ay MATUTUPAD, GANAP at HINDI MABABALI: "Lilipas ang langit at lupa ngunit di lilipas ang aking mga salita!" (Mateo 24:35) 

Kung MAY TUMALIKOD sa Unang Iglesia, HINDI si Cristo KUNDI si Felix Y. Manalo! Kung may NAGTAKWIL sa Unang Iglesia, hindi si Cristo kundi si G. Felix Y. Manalo!

At sa Kanyang pagparitong muli, ang mga TAPAT at HINDI TUMALIKOD sa TUNAY na IGLESIA, at HINDI NAGPADAYA sa mga BULAANG PROPETA ay MALILIGTAS: 

"Ang manatiling tapat hanggang sa wakas ay maliligtas!" -Mateo 24:13

FELIX Y. MANALO ULO AT TAGAPAGTATAG NG ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO® 1914

Ito ang KATOTOHANANG SINASALIGAN ng mga MAMAMAHAYAG na sinusulat nila sa mga pahayagan mula sa mga aklat-kasaysayan at mga encyclopedia: na ang Iglesia Ni Cristo na tatag sa Pilipinas ay opisyal na ITINATAG ni G. Felix Y. Manalo noong Hulyo 27, 1914. 

Sa tuwing sumasapit ang Hulyo 27 bawat taon, binabanggit ng mga mamamahayag na ang  Iglesia Ni Cristo® na sumulpot sa Pilipinas ay si FELIX MANALO ang NAGTATAG at ULO nito! !

"Iglesia ni Cristo Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo, the church's 3rd leader, follows in the footsteps of Iglesia founder Felix Manalo." -Rappler's article 'Key figures in the 2015 Iglesia ni Cristo controversy: Where are they now?'

"Some Philippine banknotes from 2014 also display the church’s seal in commemoration of the centenary, and July 27th (the day Felix Manalo founded the INC) was designated as a special non-working holiday in 2009." -Asia By Africa article 'Iglesia Ni Cristo: The controversial Filipino sect targeting Africa'

"A Protestant author, Dr. Arthur Leonard Tuggy, attributes the Iglesia Ni Cristo's fantastic grwoth to, among other factors, Dedicate laymen eager to spread their message and an effective deployment of ministers. "And behind all this," he notes, "was the continuing charismatic LEADERSHIP OF ITS FOUNDER-HEAD, FELIX MANALO, [emphasis mine] now firmly anchored to a doctrinal base as God's messenger for the Philippines..." -PASUGO May-June written by Isabelo T. Crisostomo

At kung may umanib man sa iglesiang TATAG ni G. F. Manalo, ito ay HINDI KAGANAPAN ng pananampalataya kundi ito ay KATITISURAN sapagkat WALANG ARAL ang BIBLIA para UMANIB sa isang HUWAD na iglesia, lalo na't ito ay malinaw na ITINATAG ng isang TAONG si G. FELIX MANALO. 

Ayon pa kay Ginoong Padlaoan Jr., [1:49] kung malalaman daw lamang ng mga inanyayahan kung GAANO KAHALAGA ang TUNAY na IGLESIA, "AYON SA BIBLIA", tiyak raw niyang marami ang hindi tatanggi.

Wala po tayong pagtatanggi sa KAHALAGAHAN ng TUNAY NA IGLESIA sapagkat ito isang bagay na LIKAS sa tao, ang UMANIB SA TUNAY at ITAKWIL ang HUWAD. 

Kung may PAGTATANGGI man sa pag-aanyaya ng mga mangangaral ng INC™ 1914 ay sapagkat ALAM ng TAO, AYON SA KASAYSAYAN na ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® ay HUWAD at ito'y NAGPAPANGGAP LAMANG na tatag ni Cristo, ngunit sa KATOTOHANAN ay SALAT!

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."

Ang TUNAY na Iglesia ni Cristo, AYON SA BIBLIA at KASAYSAYAN ay IISA. Kung anong ITINATAG noong Iglesia ay SIYA PA RING IGLESIA NGAYON. Ang Iglesiang itinatag noon at Iglesia pa rin hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA!

PASUGO Abril 1966, p. 46: “Ang Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo."

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 MARCH-APRIL 1992, p. 22: "The Church of Christ during the time of the Apostles became the Catholic Church of the bishops in the second century..."

At paano ba sasang-ayunan ng Biblia ang PAG-AANGKIN ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® 1914 na ARAL MULA SA BIBLIA ang itinuturo nila samantlaang NAKADEPENDE sila sa BIBLIA na NANGGALING sa IGLESIA KATOLIKA?!

(Source: Wikipedia/BiblicalCanon)

NAGBUBUNGA BA NG KABANALAN ANG MGA KAANIB SA INC™ 1914?

Tanong ulit ni G. Leonardo Pidlaoan Jr., [1:59] "PAG-ARALAN NATIN, GAANO NGA BA KAHALAGA ANG TUNAY NA IGLESIA? MAYROON BA ITONG MALAKING KINALAMAN PARA ANG ISANG TAO AY MAKAGAWA NG MABUTI PARA SA KANYANG IKABABANAL AT IKALILIGTAS?"

Kung KABANALAN lang naman ang pag-uusapan, HANGGANG sa KASALUKUYAN ay WALA pang namatay na kaanib ng INC™ ang MAITUTURING na "BANAL" sa tradisyonal at modernong pamantayan. WALA pa silang TAONG MAITUTULAD sa kabanalang PINAMALAS NINA Apostol San PEDRO, ni San FRANCISCO de Assisi. WALA pa silang taong katulad ni Mother TERESA ng Calcutta o ni Santo JUAN PABLO  II na kinilala ng buong mundo at binigyan ng parangal sa kanilang huling hantungan bilang pagkilala sa kanilang kabanalan at kabayanihan alang-alang sa pangalan ni Cristo at ng Kanyang iglesia?!

(List of Dignitaries at the Funeral of John Paul II)

BULAANG PROPETA/MANGANGARAL

Sa kasaysayan ng PAGKAKATATAG ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® 1914, namatay si Ginoong Felix Y. Manalo na WALANG PALATANDAAN ng KABANALAN. Bagkos SIYA ay NAMATAY na NALAMATAN at NADUNGAISAN ang REPUTASYON dahil sa AKUSASYON ni ROSITA TRILLANES na siya raw di umanoy ay PINAGSAMANTALAHAN ni G. FELIX Y. MANALO.

Ganoon din ang PAGLALAHAD ng isang nagngangalang LESLI WOLFE ukol sa PAGKATAO ni G. Felix Y. Manalo bilang isang mangangaral noon sa nasabing kinaaniban niyang iglesia. 

Ayon daw sa salaysay ng kanyang asawa, si G. Felix Y. Manalo raw ay MAPANG-ABUSONG asawa at HINDI TAPAT sa kanilang KASAL. At dahil sa mga PASA na nakita sa kanyang asawa, si Ginoong Felix Y. Manalo ay napatunayang NAGKASALA (guilty) na nagresulta ng PAGKATIWALAG sa kanya.

Ganoon din si G. ERAÑO G. MANALO, HINDI rin siya NAKITAAN ng KABANALAN maliban sa PAGKILALA sa naging AMBAG niya sa PAGPAPALAGO at pagpapalaganap ng iglesiang MINANA niya sa kanyang yumaong amang si G. Felix Y. Manalo, bagay na gagawin ninuman na tumanggap ng isang pamanang pangkabuhayan.

At sa kasalukuyang Executive Minister na si G. EDUARDO V. MANALO, siya ay INAKUSAHAN mismo ng KANYANG PAMILYA ng PAGMAMALABIS at KURAPSIYON. Narito ang ilan sa mga balitang namayagpag sa buong mundo ukol sa di-umano'y korapsyon at pagmamalabis sa pamamahala ng INC™.

Kaya't sa naisin pa nating ipagpatuloy ang pakikinig sa kanilang episode, SAPAT SAPAT na sa ating malaman na sa pasimula pa lamang ng kanilang episode ay punung-puno na ito ng panlilinlang at pandaraya, bagay na hindi akma sa isang institusyon na nagpapakilalang "kay Cristo". 

Ang isang bagay na TUNAY NA SA DIYOS ay HINDI NANLILINLANG at HINDI NANDARAYA ng kapwa-tao. Hindi BABALUKTUTIN ang mga TALATA ng Biblia para sumakto sa kanilang mga baluktot na aral; at hindi aangkinin ang bagay na tanging sa Diyos at sa ating Panginoong Hesus lamang. At hindi ipagpapalagay na sa Diyos ang mga bagay na handog at nakalaan sa sanlibutan tulad ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® Incorporated na itinatag at rehistradong pagmamay-ari ni Ginoong Felix Y. Manalo!

PASUGO Mayo 1964, p. 1: “Inihandog ng Dios ang kanyang sarili sa kanyang huling sugo upang dumiyos sa kanya. Samakatuwid, ang tanging may Dios sa huling araw na ito'y ang huling sugo -- si Kapatid na Felix Manalo."

MAGTATAGUMPAY ANG IGLESIANG TATAG NI CRISTO NOONG UNANG SIGLO AT MAHAHAYAG ANG KASINUNGALINGAN NG HUWAD NA IGLESIANG TATAG NOONG 1914. 

Jesus said: "You are Peter and upon this rock I will build MY church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." -Mt. 16:18 (emphasis mine)

[The Roman Catholic Church traces its history to Jesus Christ and the Apostles. Over the course of centuries it developed a highly sophisticated theology and an elaborate organizational structure headed by the papacy, the oldest continuing absolute monarchy in the world. -Online Encyclopedia Britannica]

Felix Manalo said: "Why, who is Quirino? He is a man just the same as I am. I am not afraid of him. Show fear to no man -- that is the best way to defend your rights. Members of MY church were beaten up, some killed because they refused to vote for Quirino." -Free Press, February 11, 1950 (emphasis mine)

[Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), (Tagalog: “Church of Christ”) Cristo also spelled Kristo, international Christian religious movement that constitutes the largest indigenous Christian church in the Philippines. It was established by Félix Ysagun Manalo in 1914. -Online Encyclopedia Britannica]

Pasugo explained: "'Note His words "My Church." 'My' is a possessive pronoun that denotes possession and ownership.'" - PASUGO January 1974, p. 8 (emphasis mine)

SAMAKATUWID, ang Iglesia noong Unang Siglo ay KAY CRISTO! At ang Iglesiang sumulpot lamang nitong 1914 ay KAY FELIX Y. MANALO! 

ANG IGLESIA KATOLIKA ANG TUNAY NA IGLESIA NI CRISTO!

"This is the sole Church of Christ, which in the Creed we profess to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic." These four characteristics, inseparably linked with each other, indicate essential features of the Church and her mission. The Church does not possess them of herself; it is Christ who, through the Holy Spirit, makes his Church one, holy, catholic, and apostolic, and it is he who calls her to realize each of these qualities." -Catechism of the Catholic Church (emphasis mine)

"The Church of Christ during the time of the Apostles became the Catholic Church of the bishops in the second century persecuted by the Roman emperors until the fourth century..." -PASUGO March-April 1992, p. 22 (emphasis mine)

PAREHONG OPISYAL na PINAHAHAYAG ng IGLESIA KATOLIKA at ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® 1914 na ang TUNAY na IGLESIANG KAY CRISTO ay ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA!

At bilang pangwakas, ating pakinggan ang mga pahayag ng isang Muslim Imam ukol sa turo ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® 1914 laban sa Iglesia Katolika.

       

"Ang Biblia ba ninyo ay gawa ba ninyo yan?" Sabi, "Hindi!" 

"San ba nagmula ang biblia ninyo?" Sabi niya, "Sa iglesia, sa Iglesia Katolika Apostolika Romana." 

Sabi ko, "Iglesia Ni Cristo kayo, tapos yung Biblia ninyo ay nagmula sa Romana Katolika Apostolika? Hindi sila nakakaintindi sa Biblia nila, aklat ng Katoliko, hindi sila nakakaintindi. At kayong mga Iglesia Ni Cristo, NAGBABASA lamang, sa AKLAT NG MGA KATOLIKO, kayo ang nakakaintindi? 

Dahil the HISTORY OF THE BIBLE, we cannot deny, the history of the Bible was compiled, collected by the early Christian Catholics. While the Roman Catholics in this latest century they are reading the Bible, at ang BIBLIA ORIGINAL ay NAGMULA sa ROMANO KATOLIKO!" 

"Imposible na ang GUMAWA sa Biblia ng ROMANO KATOLIKO ay maiimpierno. Yung lumikha sa Biblia maiimpierno. Yung NAGBABASA maparaiso? Imposible naman!

The Iglesia Ni Cristo® which "emerged" from the Philippines was Founded and Owned by Felix Y. Manalo?

One thing no one could alter is HISTORICAL FACTS for they are written as it unfolds.

That in 1914, a church emerged from the Philippines and indigenous Filipino church that was later known as the "Iglesia Ni Kristo" according to its official government registration with FELIX Y. MANALO as its FOUNDER. Later on, it was changed from INK to Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) and is now the official name of the church founded by Felix Y. Manalo to distinguish it from the many 'Church of Christ' being established before and after his church.

MANILA TIMES ~ "American tutelage in the Philippines"
by Michale 'Xiao' Chua
September 12, 2020

"And seemingly true to form, in wanting to ring the bells of liberty for the Filipinos, the United States allowed freedom of worship, which paved the way for the establishment of the various religious denominations in the country and the emergence of the indigenous Filipino church, the Iglesia ni Cristo, in 1914. It also implemented public health and sanitation systems which dramatically improved the lives of the people." -Manila Times

INC™'s own Pasugo agrees to Dr. Tuggy that Felix Y. Manalo was its 'Head and Founder'!

RA 9645 and HB 4720 confirms by law that INC™ was 'Founded in the Philippines', not by Jesus by Felix Y. Manalo in 1914!

Hindi si Cristo ang nasa Iglesia Ni "Cristo"®?!

Sa post ng Catholic Defender petsa Aug. 1, 2014, tinumbok na noon ang malabis na pagpupuri at pagbibigay karangalan ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® -1914 sa mga MANALO. 

Sa katunayan, sa kanilang pagpapangalan ng kanilang mga samahan, foundations at iba pang mga korporasyon ay umiikot lamang ito kay Felix Manalo at sa mga anak nito.

Halimbawa ang NEW ERA UNIVERSITY (fmr New Era College), ito ay hango sa pangalan ng Ka ERAÑO (ERA NEW) ~ anak ng nagtatag ng INC™.

Ang CIUDAD DE VICTORIA. Ang salitang 'Victoria' ay Español ng MANALO (Victory).

Ang MALIGAYA DEVELOPMENT CORP. ni Ginoong Santos ay hango sa pangalan ni FELIX (Latin) na ibig sabihin ay 'Maligaya'.

Ang FELIX Y. MANALO FOUNDATION ay para sa parangal sa nagtatag.

Ang EAGLE NEWS ay mula sa self-title ni Ginoong Felix Manalo na "IBONG MANDARAGIT"!

Ang kanilang 'Housing Project' sa Nueva Ecija na pinangalanang 'BARRIO MALIGAYA' ay hango pa rin sa pangalan ni FELIX (Latin) na ibig sabihin ay Maligaya.

Ang kanilang housing project sa Tacloban na 'SITIO NEW ERA' ay hango kay G. Eraño G. Manalo.

Ang kanilang opisyal na magasing PASUGO ay mula sa self-title ni Felix Manalo bilang 'huling sugo' raw ng Diyos .

At ang pinasikat na EVANGELICAL MISSION na may sadyang pinalaking titik na EVM ay para sa kapurihan ng kasalukuyang Executive Minister na si Eduardo V. Manalo ~ siya na TUMIWALAG sa kanyang INA, at mga KAPATID. Siya na nagpakulong sa kanyang mga kapatid. Siya na TUMAKWIL sa kanyang angkan at pamilya.

Sa 'IGLESIA NI CRISTO® 1914, WALA si Cristo sa kanila! WALA ang Diyos! Wala ang KAPURIHAN ng PANGINOON. 

Tunay ngang ito ay nararapat lamang na tawaging IGLESIA NI MANALO!

Ang Iglesiang NAMAMANA ay Hindi kay Cristo

“Kung ang babalingan ng pag-uusapan ay ang nagtatag, dapat na siya ang may-ari ng itinatag, at sa kanya rin manggagaling ang mga aral at turo na ipinatutupad." -PASUGO Hulyo 1952, p. 4

“Kailan napatala sa Pamahalaan o narehistro ang INK sa Pilipinas? Noong Hulyo 27, 1914. Tunay nga na sinasabi sa rehistro na si Kapatid na F. Manalo ang nagtatag ng INK." -PASUGO Agosto-Setyembre 1964, p. 5

Kung Wala sa Biblia, PEKE?

Bukam-bibig lagi ng mga kaanib sa pekeng INC™ -1914 ni Felix Manalo eh, kapag WALA raw sa BIBLIA ay hindi na totoo o PEKE.

At ginamit pa ang SULAT ni Apostol San Pablo sa mga TAGA-ROMA! Bakit, taga-Roma ba sila?! Libre ang mangarap!

DIRECT QUOTE FROM ROMANS 16:16

Mga AMPON ng PANLILINLANG. 

Ang katusuan ng mga INC™ -1914 ay Nilalagyan nila ng CAPITAL LETTERS ang "I" sa iglesia para lalabas na PROPER NOUN ito. Pero sa totoo lang, ang nakasulat sa ADB (Ang Dating Biblia) ay ganito:

Pero, ALING IGLESIA nga ba ang BINABATI ng LAHAT ng mga "iglesia" ni Cristo sa buong mundo?

SULAT ni Apostol San Pablo sa mga Kristiano sa ROMA at hindi sa Pinas. Kaya sino ang mga Kristianong binabanggit sa ROMA? Mga PINOY ba o mga ROMANO? Natural mga ROMANO dahil taga-ROMA nga eh. Kung sulat ito sa mga Pinoy dapat eh "sulat ni Apostol San Pablo sa mga taga-Pilipinas".

Mga INC™ ba ang mga nasa ROMA?

Hindi po maaari. At lalong di tatanggpin ng mga taga-ROMA na sila'y babansaging mga "Iglesia" sapagkat sila'y mga Kristiano Katoliko at hindi "Iglesia."

Ayon kay Apostol San Pablo, ang LAHAT daw ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO ay bumabati sa IGLESIANG nasa ROMA "Binabati kayo lahat ng mga iglesia ni Cristo."

Kung LAHAT pala ng IGLESIA ni CRISTO ay bumabati sa IGLESIA sa ROMA, bakit may NAG-IISANG "Iglesia" (raw) sa Pilipinas ang AYAW bumati sa IGLESIA sa ROMA?

Hindi ba't mismong ROMA 16:16 ang nagsasabing "lahat ng mga iglesia ni Cristo ay bumabati" sa IGLESIA sa ROMA, bakit naman ang INC™ sa Pilipinas ay ayaw talagang bumati? Dahil ba sa HINDI naman sila TUNAY na iglesia?

Kaya't kung suma-total, ang mga "iglesia" na AYAW bumati sa IGLESIA sa ROMA, bagama't sinasabi ni Apostol San Pablo na LAHAT daw ng mga iglesia ay bumabati, ang HINDI bumabati sa IGLESIA sa ROMA ay hindi dapat itinuturing na tunay na "iglesia" sapagkat NILALABAG nila ang sinasaad sa Roma 16:16 na "lahat ng mga iglesia ni Cristo ay bumabati sa inyo".

Sa katunayan, halos lahat ng mga iglesiang kay Cristo sa mundo (pakitingnang ang mapa sa ibaba) ay bumabati nga naman sa IGLESIA sa ROMA.

Mula sa Wikipedia

Nakakapagtataka nga kung bakit FLAG ng ITALY ang kanilang pinag-kopyahan ng kanilang official symbol?  Tapos PINAGMAMALAKI pa nila sa kanilang PASUGO 2014 Special Centennial na "NAKABALIK" na raw ang "TUNAY" na "IGLESIA" sa ROMA?? Pero hanggang ngayon DI MAKAALIS-ALIS sa Pilipinas ang kanilang CENTRAL.

Sa totoo lang, walang INC™-1914 saan man sa mundo ang bumabati sa kanilang Lokal sa Roma. Kabaliktaran pa nga, kundi sa ang kanilang Lokal sa Roma ang BUMABATI sa CENTRAL sa PILIPINAS. Ang Local sa Roma pa ang nagpapadala ng abuloy nila sa CENTRAL sa Pinas. 

Kaya't huwag na lamang nilang linlangin ang kanilang mga kaanib. Ang ROMA 16:16 ay hindi INC™ ang tinutukoy doon ni San Pablo. Kundi mga KRISTIANONG KATOLIKO po!

Pero balikan natin ang kanilang pamantayan, na kapag WALA SA BIBLIA ay PEKE.

Una, HINDI naman sila ang pinapatungkulan ng Roma 16:16 kundi ang Iglesia Katolika na nasa Roma.

Pangalawa, wala sa saling Tagalog ang mga salitang "IGLESIA KATOLIKA" nasa GREEK VERSION ng Biblia sa Mga Gawa 9:31

"Ἡ μὲν οὖν ἐκκλησία καθ' ὅλης τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Γαλιλαίας καὶ Σαμαρείας εἶχεν εἰρήνην, οἰκοδομουμένη καὶ πορευομένη τῷ φόβῳ τοῦ κυρίου, καὶ τῇ παρακλήσει τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος ἐπληθύνετο." [I mén oún ekklisía kath' ólis tís Ioudaías kaí Galilaías kaí Samareías eíchen eirínin, oikodomouméni kaí porevoméni tó fóvo toú kyríou, kaí tí paraklísei toú agíou pnévmatos eplithýneto.]

Ayon pala. May IKKLISIA KATH'OLIS pala sa Mga Gawa 9:31!

Kaya IBALIK natin ngayon sa kanila ang kanilang pamantayan!

Hindi Nagbabago Ang Katotohanang si Felix Y. Manalo Ang Nagtatag ng Iglesia Ni Cristo®

The INC was founded in 1914 by Felix Manalo, who the church claims was “the last messenger of God”.

"In the 2010 national census, 2.45 per cent of the population said they were members, making it the third largest religion in the Philippines after Roman Catholicism and Islam. It also has supporters around the world, particularly in overseas Filipino communities.

ANG KASAYSAYAN NG SAMAHANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO® NA TATAG NI G. FELIX Y. MANALO

Ayon sa opisyal na website ng INC™:

The Iglesia ni Cristo was first preached by the late Brother Felix. Y. Manalo in the Philippine capital city of Manila. Its first local congregation was established in Punta, Sta. Ana. On July 27, 1914, the Church was registered with the Philippine government. In 1915, Brother Felix Manalo, as the first Executive Minister of the Church, started training ministers to assist him in the propagation of the gospel. By 1918, ministers and volunteer preachers were being sent to provinces around Manila. In its tenth year, the first ecclesiastical district was organized in Pampanga province.

Ayon sa Wikipedia:

Iglesia ni Cristo (Tagalog pronunciation: [ɪˈgleʃɐ ni ˈkɾisto], abbreviated as INC or Iglesia; English: Church of Christ) is an international Christian church that originated in the Philippines and has been accused of being a cult[3]. It was registered in 1914 by Felix Y. Manalo, who became its first Executive Minister.

INC®-1914 NEWS SA AFRICA: 8 NAMATAY DAHIL SA STAMPEDE

Zambia: 8 dead, 28 injured in stampede for free Church food

By Abdur Rahman Alfa Shaban with Mwebantu 06/03 - 11:12 (Africa News)

ZAMBIA - Zambian police have confirmed the death of eight people and injuries sustained by 20 others during a stampede after a church event in the capital, Lusaka.

The stampede occured when organizers of a prayer event, started distributing free food parcels to the crowds that had attended the event – an outreach program at the Church of Christ’s Olympic Youth Development Center (OYDC) – on Sunday, March 5.

Local media portal, Mwebantu, quoted a police spokesperson, Esther Mwaata Katongo as disclosing that among the dead were six females, one male adult and one male juvenile. Five died on the spot while three died at hospitals where they were rushed for medical attention.

"The victims are among the 35,000 which the group called Lesedi seven, had invited for prayers at OYDC. The group had also organized food hampers to distribute to people. This Lesedi seven is a grouping under Church of Christ."

The injured persons are said to be receiving treatment at Chingwere first level hospital and Chipata clinic while the bodies of the deceased have been taken to University Teaching Hospital mortuary.

“We have since dispersed the gathering and an inquiry into the matter has been instituted,” the police spokesperson added.

CBC Investigates: Filipino man claims death threats from members of powerful Christian church

Lowell Menorca says he fears persecution from the Iglesia Ni Cristo. They say his claims are 'fabrications''

A Filipino man has applied for refugee status in Canada claiming the lives of his young family have been threatened by members of what he calls a "cult-like" Christian church in the Philippines — and he alleges to CBC News he's still being stalked in Metro Vancouver.

Lowell Menorca, 39, a former un-ordained minister in the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), or Church of Christ, brought his allegations to the CBC in his first major English language interview.

His case has generated headline news coverage in the Philippines.

Iglesia Ni Cristo is the third largest faith in the Philippines after Catholicism and Islam, and it has hundreds of churches around the world, including many in Canada.

The INC preaches these are "the last days," and only its members will be saved. According to the church's doctrines, to be expelled means losing your salvation.

Menorca says the INC expelled him after a split developed among descendants of the man who founded the church. He says he was suspected of being an anonymous blogger who had accused INC leaders of overspending and corruption.

Menorca believes the leadership has wasted vast amounts of money on things such as a private Airbus jetliner (since sold) and the construction of the Philippine Arena, the biggest covered stadium in the world, built to celebrate the INC's centennial in 2014.

He alleges he was illegally detained by Church officials, arrested by police and then hit with more than 40 lawsuits for libel for speaking out about his alleged treatment from the church.

"This is an orchestrated effort by the church to intimidate me," says Menorca, "to put me behind bars, ultimately to silence me."

Menorca says a family member found this note on his car in the Philippines on March 6, the night before he was to appear at a court hearing against the INC. (Lowell Menorca)

But officials with the Iglesia Ni Cristo call Menorca's claims "fabricated" and "devious."

They say he's fleeing prosecution, not persecution, in the Philippines, and they expect the Canadian government to deny his refugee application.

The INC flew its San Francisco-based supervising attorney to Vancouver to answer the CBC's questions about the case.

"It's so obvious to see that he's fabricated this whole story", says Rommel V. San Pedro.

"In the end, the Canadian government is going to see through all of these allegations, and see there's no threat here."

"We can tell you there is no corruption inside the Iglesia Ni Cristo."

But Menorca claims he has proof church supporters have threatened his life and the lives of his pregnant wife and two-year-old child.

Alleged Threat to Daughter

Menorca's battle with the church came to a head three months ago in the Philippines.

On March 6 — the night before he was to appear at a court hearing against the INC — he claims a family member discovered a photo on the windshield of his car, parked at a safe house.

The family portrait, possibly lifted from Menorca's social media postings, had a red "x" through the face of his two-year-old daughter Yurie — and the warning "March 7, 2016, Say Goodbye."

It was signed "Mandirigma," Tagalog for "warriors"— a term often used online by some who purport to be defenders of the church.

"When I saw it, it literally crumbled my world" says a tearful Menorca.

"I really didn't want to stand by and watch if they're really going to push through with it, so that moment we decided that we would leave the country."

That night, he flew his family to Vietnam.

But he claims the intimidation continued.

Within hours, Menorca says photographs were posted on a Facebook site that appears to target those expelled from the INC, showing his family on the plane and at the airport terminal.

Comments in Tagalog and English accompanied the pictures. Among them: "You can run but you can't hide" and "You will not be able to escape, you are an animal, you are evil!!!"

Intimidation continues in B.C.: Menorca

Menorca said his family next fled to Thailand, seeking a safe haven.

But while he had a valid Visa to the US, his daughter and his pregnant wife Jingky did not.

Menorca says he eventually made the difficult decision to board a flight to Seattle that routed through Vancouver. When he landed on Canadian soil he immediately approached immigration officials and sought refugee status in the hope he can bring his wife and child here.

However, he claims he has continued to be harassed by INC members here in Metro Vancouver, where there are nine congregations, according to the church's website.

Photographs of Menorca recently shopping in a local shopping mall were posted by another Facebook user who appears to be an INC follower.

Again, accompanying comments — seen by CBC News — said things such as:

"Watch your back, someone is behind you".

One poster writes: "Exact location(?)"

The response: "Guildford and Metrotown".

CBC News messaged the Facebook users who had posted images of Menorca in the mall.

One poster referred all questions to the western Canada ecclesiastical division of the INC.

Menorca also has video he says is of four burly Filipino men from Washington State who arrived unannounced at a recent Burnaby prayer meeting organised by dissidents of the church — including Menorca.

Church says Menorca "fabricates"

When asked about these incidents, including the apparently secretly-taken photographs of Menorca, the INC's North American lawyer again dismisses Menorca's version of the events.

"He makes up all these stories. He fabricates them … He's very ingenious. I mean, very devious" says Rommel V. San Pedro.

"Who's not to say Menorca didn't get his friends to take a picture, "X" out his daughter's face, put it on the car, and allege that members of the church did that."

"You can easily make up identities on Facebook and then create a scenario or create an image of something like that happening. But who's to say that's members of the Church of Christ?"

San Pedro says the numerous libel cases launched against Menorca in the Philippines are from individuals, and church leaders "don't really care about Menorca."

"We care about our members. Our Lord Jesus Christ said if one sheep goes off, the shepherd goes after that lost sheep. And we have members who have been affected, confused by his rhetoric, confused by his fabrications," he said.

"What we're doing is we're visiting the members and we're explaining to them what he's doing, and we're encouraging our members to stay strong in the faith."

Controversy within the church

The INC was founded in 1914 by Felix Manalo, who claimed to be the last messenger of God.

The founder's grandson, Eduardo V. Manalo, is now the executive minister of the church.

The Philippine press has reported his siblings have raised issues over his authoritarian leadership, and have been fenced off within the church's central compound. The internal dispute remains on-going.

Eduardo V. Manalo, known as "EVM", is revered by his supporters.

A Youtube music video, produced by INCMedia Services, is entitled "I am One with EVM", and includes the lyrics, "Appointed by God in these last days, is our Church Administrator," and "For the church he will give his very life, and so we will remain on his side."

Leonora Angeles, associate professor at the University of BC's Institute of Social Justice, says the INC has encouraged a cult-like veneration of its leader.

"Observers of the church might say it has some cult-like characteristics ... you also have a very authoritarian leadership. What the inner circle dictates, everyone must follow."

Church lawyer Rommel V. San Pedro denies the INC is a cult.

"To label an organization as a cult is unfair. Why do we say we're the one true church? Our teachings ... every single doctrine can be found in the Bible."

Church has 'vast influence': expert

CBC News also sought out an expert on the INC in the Philippines.

Ramon Casiple, executive director of the independent nonprofit Institute for Political and Electoral Reform, has studied the church's influence on its members and on Philippine politics.

He says he doesn't discount the possibility the church's leadership has come down "swiftly and hard on whom they thought were the propagators of those stories" alleging corruption and lavish spending by the INC's leaders.

"There is a definite division," he says, referring to the split within the church, "But we don't know how far the division is going because the church is basically secretive and that's one of the basic tenets — that they don't go public on anything internal," says Casiple.

He believes the fears of Menorca and other alleged INC church members who have been expelled are "well founded because of the vast influence of the church on the politicians here, and on the military and police and even local officials."

Menorca has claimed to Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board that he's not safe in the Philippines, because he alleges police and government officials are often INC members, or heavily influenced by the church, since the INC encourages its parishioners to "block vote" — delivering key votes in tight races.

That gives the small church a large influence, according to his refugee claim.

Menorca hopes the Canadian government will take all of this into account, when the Immigration and Refugee Board hears his application for refugee status.

Through tears, he remembered how he was treated here, when he arrived at Vancouver airport.

"The officer told me, 'You came to the right country.' I just felt some kind of relief, that hopefully this country will protect people like me, can protect my family, my wife and my daughter."

"I'm hoping that Canada can be a safe refuge for people who have been oppressed, by a church of all things."

The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada will rule on the validity of Menorca's claims and allegations, later this summer.
