PINATAY raw ng mga KATOLIKO ang mga ALAGAD ni CRISTO noong UNANG SIGLO kaya't WALANG NATIRA sa kanila. At doon NALIPOL na GANAP ang tunay na IGLESIA NI CRISTO!

Ikaw, napaniwala ka rin ba ng mga bulaang propeta na KAILAN lamang sumulpot sa kasaysayan? Ang mga inaralan ng mga bulaang propeta na TATAG ni G. Felix Manalo at ni G. Eliseo Soriano ay mahilig sa mga ganitong "Fake News" at may mga Katoliko naman na salat sa Katekismo ang naniwala at tuluyang umanib sa kanila.

Ano nga ba ang KATOTOHANAN ukol sa pagkamatay ng mga Apostol o Alagad ni Cristo?

🀄SAN MATEO

Naghirap bilang martir sa Ethiopia (Hilagang Africa) at namatay sa pamamagitan ng tulos ng espada!

🀄SAN MARCOS

Namatay sa Alexandria, Egypt , habang hinihila ng isang kabayo palibot sa nasabing ng bayan. At dahil doon siya ay namatay.

🀄SAN LUKAS

Siya ay binigti sa Greece dahil sa kanyang walang takot na pangangaral ng Mabuting Balita.

🀄SAN JUAN

Tanging alagad na hindi nakaranas ng pagpapahirap. Siya ay namatay ng payapa sa isla ng Patmos (Turkey) kung saan doon niya natanggap ang Pahayag (Revelation) at doon niya sinulat ang kanyang mga sulat at ebanghelyo.

🀄SAN SIMON PEDRO

Siya ay pinko sa kahoy na hugis X ngunit patiwarik.  Para sa kanya, hindi siya karapat-dapat na mamatay ng kahalintulad sa kay Cristo.  

🀄SAN TIAGO

Siya ang naatasang mamuno sa iglesia sa Jerusalem. Dahil sa kanyang pagtangging itakwil ang kanyang pananampalataya kay Cristo, siya ay inihulog sa mataas na bahagi ng Templo ngunit nakaligtas. At nang malaman ng mga nasa katungkulan na siya ay nakaligtas, siya ay hinambalos hanggang sa mamatay. 

🀄SAN TIAGO (anak ni Zebedeo)

Isang magiting na pinuno sa iglesia sa Jerusalem, siya ay pinugutan ng ulo dahil sa kanyang pagtatanggol sa pananampalataya. Isang opisyal ng Roma ang nakasaksi sa kagitingan ni San Tiago at naging tagasunod ni Cristo.  

🀄SAN BARTOLOMEO

Kilala rin si San Bartolomeo bilang Nathaniel.  Siya ay isang manggagawa sa Asia. Siya ay namatay sa Armenia sa pamamagitan ng matinding hampas at palo mula sa kanyang mga kaaway.  

🀄SAN ANDRES

Katulad ni San Pedro siya ay ginapos sa isang kahoy na hugis X sa Patras Greece.  Matapos na pahirapan sa pamamagitan ng hampas ng lubid, siya ay tinali sa krus upang pahirapan hanggang mamatay. Habang siya ay nakagapos, siya ay walang tigil sa pagpapahayag ng aral ni Cristo hanggang siya'y mamatay makalipas ang dalawang araw.

🀄SAN TOMAS

Si Santo Tomas ay pinatay sa sibat habang siya ay nangangaral sa India bilang isang manggagawa.

🀄SAN JUDAS TADEO

Siya ay pinatay sa pamamagitan ng pana dahil sa pagtangging itakwil ang kanyang paniniwala kay Cristo.  

🀄SAN MATIAS

Ang alagad na pumalit kay Judas Iscariote bilang apostol ni Cristo. Siya ay pinatay sa pamamagitan ng pagbato at di kalauna'y pinugutan ng ulo. 

🀄SAN PABLO

Siya ay matinding pinahirapan at pinugutan ng ulo ng Emperor Nero sa Roma taong 67 A.D. Bago pa man siya'y pinatay, siya ay matagal na naging bihag sa kulungan.  Dito niya sinamantala ang pagpapadala ng mga sulat sa mga iglesia ni Cristo mula sa Roma. May labing-tatlong sulat rito ay bumubuo sa mga aklat sa Bagong Tipan. 

Sa kabuuan, ang mga ALAGAD ang mga KAUNA-UNAHANG mga KATOLIKO na PINATAY ng mga KALABAN ni Cristo! 

KUNG SINO ANG INUUSIG ANG SIYANG TUNAY NA IGLESIA!

Ayon sa pamantayan ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® na tatag ni Ginoong Felix Y. Manalo sa Pilipinas noong 1914, kung SINO ANG INUUSIG na Iglesia ay SIYANG TUNAY!

PASUGO Nobyembre 1954, p. 2,:

“Hindi kailangang patunayan pa kung hindi tunay na Iglesia, kung ito'y kay Cristo o hindi. Ang pag-uusig na nagaganap sa INK, na siyang katuparan ng pinagpauna ng Panginoon ay siyang malinaw na katunayan na ang INK ay tunay na Iglesia at kay Cristo. Anu-ano ang mga kinathang kasinungalingan na ipinaparatang kay Jesus an nakasisirang puri! Hindi lamang nila sinasabing siya'y may demonyo, kundi pinaparatangang siya'y nauulol (Juan 15:20). Kung siya'y inusig tao man ay uusigin din. Ang pag-uusig sa Ulo at tagos hanggang sa katawan. Siya ang ulo, tayo ang mga sangkap, na siyang Iglesia."

IGLESIA KATOLIKA ang INUUSIG na IGLESIA sa buong mundo! Kung gayon ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA nga ang TUNAY na IGLESIA NI CRISTO at hindi ang tatag ni G. Felix Manalo.

HOLY MARTYRS, PRAY FOR US!

Minutes after Sunday School class said they would die for Christ, half killed in Sri Lankan bomb blast

Just minutes after expressing their willingness to die for Christ, half the children from one Sunday School class at Zion Church in Batticaloa were reportedly killed in the Easter Sunday suicide bomb attacks in Sri Lanka.

“Today was an Easter Sunday school at the church and we asked the children how many of you willing to die for Christ? Everyone raised their hands," Caroline Mahendran, a Sunday School teacher at the church, said, according to Israeli public figure Hananya Naftali. "Minutes later, they came down to the main service and the blast happened. Half of the children died on the spot.”

The report comes as the death toll from the bomb attacks on several churches and luxury hotels in the island nation, where Christians make up less than 10 percent of the 20 million population, rose to nearly 300 Monday with at least 500 wounded.

Fr. Kumaran, a pastor at Zion Church, told Times of India that he witnessed the death of many of the children shortly after arguing with the suicide bombing suspect he did not recognize.

It was about 8:30 a.m., Kumaran said, when he saw the suicide bombing suspect carrying a bag at the steps of the church already filled with worshipers.

"I asked him who he was and his name. He said he was a Muslim and wanted to visit the church," Kumaran said.

Kumaran said he was ushered away from the encounter by other priests because it was getting late for Mass. As he walked toward the podium he heard an explosion. When he turned around, the blood of his congregants, including many from the children’s Sunday School class, was splattered on the church walls.

"Twenty-eight people were killed, among them 12 children. Two are critical," a distressed Kumaran told the publication.

Arasaratnam Verl, 41, said his 13-year-old son, V. Jackson, who is also his only child, was standing near the church entrance after attending the Sunday School class. Jackson was killed instantly.

"My elder sister was killed too. My two younger sisters and my brother-in-law are critical," Verl, a taxi driver, told Times of India.

He was gunned down because of his love for Christ and His True Church!

Fr. Richmond Nilo Gunned Down! Rest In Peace!

A scheduled debate between Fr. Richmond Nilo (Catholic) and Minister Parba (Iglesia Ni Cristo®) was cancelled due to an incident where Fr. Nilo was gunned down by unknown assailants. This is disturbing. We must stand-up against EJK in the Philippines! While Duterte's government publicly announce his anti-Catholic sentiments and anti-priest campaign, still we are clueless who is behind this killing. Rest in peace Fr. Richmond, may God's perpetual light shine on you.

Saints Emulate Christ by Offering Their Lives to Save Others

France Honors a Catholic Soldier Murdered by a Terrorist

By Marie Meaney, March 29, 2018

Catholic Citizen.org

Lieutenant Colonel Arnaud Beltrame (44) has become famous overnight. His family could well have done without his fame, since it came at such a cost—the sacrifice of his own life. He offered himself as a hostage in exchange for a wife and mother who was held captive by the terrorist Radouane Lakdim. Lakdim had taken over a supermarket in Trèbes, close to Carcassonne in southern France, threatening to blow up the store along with many hostages. Beltrame, a member of the French military police called the “Gendarmerie,” began negotiations with the attacker, drawing his attention away from the other Gendarmes who evacuated people from the building. He then took the unusual step of offering himself in exchange for the remaining hostage.

Where are the Iglesia Ni Cristo® - 1914 Martyrs of Faith?

Among those persecuted and murdered CHRISTIANS, no member of Felix Manalo's cult, the Iglesia Ni Cristo® -1914 was ever mentioned. Noticeably, an INC™ paid minister would prefer cities toiled by Catholic missionaries, where religious tolerance is respected. In rural areas, they would visit places visited and organized by Catholic missionaries where knowledge of Christ and the Bible has been fully established then they would sneak in and demonize the Catholic belief to justify their revived Arian heresy. No INC™ would dare go to places hostile to Christian missionaries. Thus it's not surprising that NO-INC™ PAID MINISTER has ever died for the sake of their faith in the MAN-ONLY-CHRIST-FAILURE-SAVIOR they worship besides THE FATHER (therefore worshiping TWO ~ one MAN and one GOD ~) a teaching that goes against the Bible - God alone you worship! [Exod. 20:3, Deut. 5:7] -CD2000 [P.S. the INC™ Christ was a "failure savior"  because he needed another "Last Messenger" in the person of Felix Manalo in order to save souls.]

Aleteia provides an overview of some recent 21st-century martyrs.

The blood of martyrs continues to be the seed of new Christians at the beginning of 2018. This is the conclusion we can draw from reviewing the testimonies of men and women who, in various countries around the world, have shed their blood for their faith in Jesus.

Below, we offer a list of present-day witnesses to the Gospel who have been faithful to the very end.

The list is necessarily incomplete. If you know other cases of Christians of any denomination who have been killed for their faith in Christ, please mention their names in the comments below this article, offering sources that will allow us to document the circumstances of their death.

1. Pakistan: Brutally killed at 15 years of age because he was a Christian [Killed by Muslims]

Mushtaq Gill, a Christian lawyer handling the case, explains that Masih’s death is a terrible example of Christian persecution in that country: “Violence begins at the desks in the schools, because even primary school textbooks incite hate against non-Muslims.”

2. Bolivia: A young Polish missionary, capable of risking everything for Christ

Helena’s case reveals the challenge facing missionaries in Latin America, a sub-continent where, during 2017, eleven missionaries died (eight priests, one religious, and two lay people).

3. Nigeria: Killed by human bombs [Perpetrators were Muslim terrorists]

Joseph, who was 56 years old and the father of 11 children, had been a catechist since he as 36; John, 38 years old and father of five, had been serving as a catechist for ten years. Patrick was 27 years old, and still a bachelor.

4. China: “Living martyrs” [Killed by Communist government]

They were “living martyrs.” In 2017, numerous bishops and priests of the Catholic Church in China have died, after suffering tremendous persecution and many years of prison or forced labor.

5) Philippines: Workers give their lives so as not to deny their faith [Murdered by Muslim terrorists]

They were killed for not reciting the shahada, the Islamic profession of faith. Thus, eight Christians bore witness to their faith on the Philippine island of Mindanao.

6) India: They had warned him: “Stop preaching the Bible.” [Killed by Islamic Army]

They had told him on various occasions to stop preaching the bible. Nonetheless, Sultan Masih, 47 years old, Pentecostal pastor of the Church of the Temple of God in Ludhiana, the largest city in the Indian state of Punjab, didn’t stop.

7) North Korea: Anonymous martyrs [by Communist government]

“In North Korea, the most ruthless persecutor—as the report categorizes the country ruled by Kim Jong-un—the indescribable atrocities committed against Christians include food deprivation and forced abortions, while there have also been reports of cases of believers tied to crosses and placed over fire. Others have been crushed by steam presses.”

8) Copts: Fidelity to Christ to the point of heroism [Perpetuators are Muslims]

While the world prepared to celebrate the new year, this December 30, 2017, nine people were cruelly killed in an attack against the Christian minority in Egypt, perpetrated by an armed Jihadi in a church south of Cairo, for which ISIS claimed responsibility.

It was the last of a series of attacks committed by Jihadis which, in 2017 alone, left more than one hundred dead. It’s a very high price being paid by Coptic Christians, a community making up 10 percent of the nearly 100 million inhabitants of Egypt, the largest minority in a majority Muslim country.

9) Cameroon: Death to the bishop? [Murdered by government forces]

Other examples of Catholic missionaries who died tragically and without the guilty parties being identified are Bishop Yves Plumey, archbishop emeritus of Garoua (1991); Fr. Joseph Mbassi, editor of the Catholic publication “L’Effort camerounnais” (1988); Jesuit theologian Engelbert Mveng (1995); French religious Germaine Marie Husband and Marie Léone Bordy, who ran a dispensary at a Catholic mission (1992); and Fr. Apollinaire Cloude Ndi, pastor of a church near Yaoundé (2001). Since 2010, many parishes and pastors have suffered attacks, which often met with silence from civil authorities.

10) In the hands of the Islamic State [Killers were Muslims]
A review of the witnesses of the faith who have given their lives for Christ during the past year would not be complete without mentioning the cases of Christian missionaries who have been kidnapped by the Islamic State or other Jihadist groups in various countries.

Sila ay mga Kristianong KATOLIKO! Pinili ang Kamatayan Kaysa Hamakin si Jesus

A prayer for the new martyrs of the Palm Sunday massacre in Egypt

Source: Aleteia

O New Martyrs, slain at worship as we enter into our holiest days, you now number among the ancient holy ones. Before the throne of the Almighty, we beg you to keep us particularly in your prayers. Once again we are focused on the mysterious geography where humanity first came into being, and then into contact with the Reality of the One God — the lands where all will someday finally be revealed.

Today, we ponder why it is that our attention is continually turned to this region in gasping sorrow, all due to a malevolent force as old as Eden. We know that Christ Jesus is the Victor over death, and the Victor over evil, but we acknowledge that the victories come only by way of His Cross. O New Martyrs, you and the people of your region share in that Cross and we, in spirit, share it with you. In the presence of the Perfect Wisdom — the Holy, Mighty One who imparts all that is True, teach us to pray the words that will bring peace, if peace is possible, or to pray the words of pure worship, contrition and trust, if it is not.

Pray that we may learn how to become the peace we seek.

Pray that we may put aside all that is irrelevant to the moment and, looking forever to the East, prepare our spirits for the engagements into which we may be called, whether we live amid these places of ancient roads and portals, or in the most modern of dwellings.

Mary, the God-bearer, pray for us,
Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us,
Saint John the Forerunner, pray for us,
Saint Charbel Makhlouf, pray for us,
Saints Mariam Baouardy and Marie-Alphonsine of Palestine, pray for us,
Blessed Charles de Foucauld, pray for us,

All Holy Men and Women, pray for us.
Amen, Amen.
