Ang "Iglesiang" Tinutukoy sa Biblia ay Hindi ang INC® na Tatag Ginoong Felix Manalo Noong 1914

1517 - THE BIRTH OF FALSEHOOD THAT DIVIDED THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION

Palatandaan na kayo ay niloloko at pineperahan ng inyong "Church"

Napakahalagang malalimang alamin kung ang kinaaaniban ba nating "iglesia" o "church" ay tunay o isang tatag na hanap-buhay lamang ng isang pamilya ng mga nag-aangking pastor, pastora, ministro o iba'y inaangkin ang pagka-sugo o propeta o apostol.

Mula sa Defenders of the Catholic Faith Facebook page, narito ang apat lamang na palatandaan kung ang inyong kinaaaniban ay sa tao at hindi sa Diyos.

1.) Palaging pinapaalala ang kahalagahan ng abuloy

➤Dapat kusang loob lang. Mahalaga ang abuloy sa pagpapatuloy ng gawain ng simbahan, ngunit kung ito'y ginawa nang halos pang-araw-araw na aral aba'y magtaka na kayo.

2.) Palaging pinapaalala ang kahalagahan ng pagsamba

➤Mahalaga ang pagsamba. Pero kung sa pagsamba mismo, puro pagpapahalaga lang dito ang itinuturo at hindi ang mga aral at turo ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, may problema tayo diyan.

3.) Palaging pinapaalala ang kahalagahan ng membership sa nasabing grupo

➤Muli, ang isang tunay na mananampalataya ay hindi aalis sa isang grupo kung nalalaman niya na pinapangaralan nito ang katotohanan, hindi iyong pagpasok mo ay pinapangaralan ka na na huwag umalis

4.) Tinatakot ang mga miyebro sa pag-alis sa grupo

➤Maraming pangyayari na tinatakot ang mga miyembro na paghuhukom at pagkawasak ang mangyayari sa taong humiwalay sa "church". Tanging ang Diyos lamang ang may kakayahan na maghatol ng kahatulan ng kaluluwa ng isang tao.

Ang Iglesia Katolika ayon kay Evangelical Pastor Rick Warren

Isa na namang nagpapanggap na 'Iglesia Ni Cristo' na tatag ni Troy Perry ay narito na sa Pilipinas

Isa na namang NAGPAPANGGAP na 'Iglesia Ni Cristo' raw ay narito na sa Pilipinas. Ito ay ang PANG-LUNGSOD NA IGLESIA NI CRISTO (Metropolitan Church of Christ) na itinatag ni G. Troy Perry noong October 6, 1968, kasagsagan ng pag-uusig sa mga bakla at tomboy sa Estados Unidos. Ang kanilang mga gawain ay PARANG KATOLIKO, maging sa pagsamba, pagdarasal, pagmimisa, pananamit ng mga kaparian nila at paggamit ng Roman Missal NGUNIT HINDING HINDI PO SILA KAANIB SA TUNAY NA IGLESIA NI CRISTO -- ANG IGLESIA KATOLIKA! Sila po ay mga EREHE at mga PEKE. Kaanib po sila sa IGLESIA PROTESTANTE!

Hindi nakakagulat sapagkat ang LAHAT ng relihiyon na NAGMULA sa GITNANG SILANGAN ay TOTOO. Ang lahat ng mga relihiyong REVISED sa ESTADOS UNIDOS AT EUROPA ay MGA PEKE at NAGTUTURO ng KAMANGMANGAN, PANDARAYA at KASINUNGALINGAN! Iwasan po sila kung maaari at itakwil lahat ang kanilang mga gawain!

Mas Talamak ang Sexual Abuse sa Iglesia Protestante kaysa sa Iglesia Katolika!

Malimit na pinangangalandakan ng mga KUMAKAAWAY sa TUNAY na IGLESIA na ang suliranin daw sa Sexual Abuse ay talamak 'LAMANG" sa Iglesia Katolika ayon na rin sa isang blog na pagmamay-ari ng isang kaanib ng INC™ 1914 na tatag ni Felix Manalo.

Ngunit ano nga ba TALAGA ang KATOTOHANAN sa likod ng problema tungkol sa sexual abuse sa mga iglesia Protestante sa buong mundo? 

There is More Sexual Abuse in The Protestant Churches Than Catholic
By Shoebat Foundation on May 6, 2014

"Tchividjian had become convinced that the Protestant world is teetering on the edge of a sex-abuse scandal similar to the one that had rocked the Catholic Church. He is careful to say that there’s not enough data to compare the prevalence of child sex abuse in Protestant and Catholic institutions, but he’s convinced the problem has reached a crisis point. He’s not alone in that belief. In 2012, Christian radio host Janet Mefferd declared, “This is an epidemic going on in churches. … When are evangelicals going to wake up and say we have a massive problem in our own churches?” For years, Protestants have assumed they were immune to the abuses perpetrated by celibate Catholic priests. But Tchividjian believes that Protestant churches, groups, and schools have been worse than Catholics in their response. Mission fields, he says, are “magnets” for would-be molesters; ministries and schools do not understand the dynamics of abuse; and “good ol’ boy” networks routinely cover up victims’ stories to protect their reputations. He fears it is only a matter of time before it all blows up in their faces and threatens the survival of powerful Protestant institutions."

The report by Kathryn Joyce, Article from Prospect.org is an eye opener to the extend of the sexual abuse epidemic in many Protestant Churches and schools. By this article, we do not want to undermine Catholic abuses by Catholic priests whom we feel should also be burned at the stake, but its time to fess up, and before we pull the plank out of the eye in our Catholic brothers, Protestants should first see the plank in their eye. The following is the full report:

In November 2012, Bob Jones University, the longtime flagship institution of fundamentalism, announced it had hired GRACE (short for Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment), an independent group of evangelical lawyers, pastors, and psychologists, to investigate the university’s handling of sexual-abuse and -harassment reports. Bob Jones officials said they were taking the step after watching the pedophilia scandal unfold at Pennsylvania State University the previous year. They vowed to ask forgiveness of any students they may have “underserved.”

In truth, the origins of the investigation were closer to home. In 2011, an abuse scandal from years before had become national news with a 20/20 report. Tina Anderson, a 15-year-old who lived in New Hampshire, was raped and impregnated in 1997 by one of her church’s deacons, then in his late thirties, while she was a babysitter for his family. When Anderson and her mother told their pastor, Bob Jones graduate Chuck Phelps, what had happened, Phelps had Anderson stand before the congregation while he read a confession of her pregnancy. She was then sent to a family in Colorado until the baby was born and given up for adoption.

Anderson’s rapist, a registered sex offender, was made to confess as well—but to adultery, not rape—and he remained at the church for years. Phelps, who’d gone on to be president of the fundamentalist Maranatha Baptist Bible College in Wisconsin, maintained close ties to Bob Jones, serving on its board of trustees as well as on its missionary and youth-camp boards.

Bakit ang mga Protestante ay nagiging kaanib ng tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo- Katoliko

Panawagan ng Santo Papa sa mga Pentecostals!

Sa kapulungan ng mga Pentecostals (Evangelical groups) na idinaos sa Estados Unidos, nanawagan ang kanyang kabanalan, Papa Francisco ng Iglesia ni Cristo tungo sa Pagkakaisa ng Lahat ng Kristiano.

Narito ang kanyang mensahe (salamat sa link mula sa Catholic World Report):

Narito ang pahayag ng nag-upload ng video:

"Pope Francis recorded a message of reconciliation and unity between the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Church for Kenneth Copeland Ministries, a group of Pentecostal Christians in the United States. Bishop Tony Palmer, a bishop from a Pentecostal Christian community, did the camera work with an iPhone. The bishop also serves as international ecumenical officer for the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, a group that is not affiliated with the Anglican Communion, and which takes a much simpler view of the path to full Christian unity than the pope and the mainline Christian churches do. The translation used for the English subtitles on the video are not precise, but the pope's sincerity is clear."

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.

Seminarista ng Southern Baptist naging Kaanib ng Iglesia ni Cristo

Maraming mga Protestante ang lumilipat na sa Iglesia Katolika at isa na rito ang isang seminarista. Narito ang kanyang kwento mula sa blog ni Devin Rose:

My name is Anthony and I am becoming Catholic. Writing this sentence would have made me cry two months ago. As an aspiring evangelical missionary studying at a Southern Baptist seminary, I knew that most Catholics were not “believers,” true Christians, yet now . . . things are different. I begged God for six months to let me remain in evangelicalism. He didn’t. My hope is that this story will encourage fellow Catholics and lead many of my evangelical friends to, at the very least, have a more charitable view of the Roman Catholic Church.

The beginning

One year ago I came home to visit my family. My dad, a worship and preaching pastor from when I was in fourth grade on, had resigned his position a year prior and was finishing his Masters in Theological Studies. He had grown up in the Catholic Church and one of his graduate courses caused him to reexamine some of the teaching. I found a silly-looking book titled Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic on his desk. Maybe I picked it up because I had brought nothing else home to read, or maybe my curiosity was peaked after spending a summer as a missionary to Catholics in Poland. For whatever reason, reading the testimony was the start of my confusing and reluctant journey to Rome.

David Currie’s 1996 memoir of leaving behind his fundamentalist upbringing, Trinity Evangelical education and ministries was bothersome. Currie’s unapologetic defense of controversial doctrines like Mary and the Pope were most shocking, as I had never seriously considered that Catholics would have sensible, scriptural defenses to these beliefs.

As I grew in my evangelical faith at a midwestern liberal arts college and listened to over two hundred hours of evangelical sermons by popular Reformed preachers like Mark Driscoll and John Piper, my assumption was hardened that the Roman Catholic Church didn’t adhere to the Bible. When I asked one pastor friend of mine during my junior year why Catholics thought Mary remained a virgin after Jesus’ birth when the Bible clearly said Jesus had “brothers,” he simply grimaced: “They don’t read the Bible.”

If Currie’s book bothered me, slipping nervously into Mass that weekend didn’t help the situation. I was shocked that the lyrics sung were derived directly from the Scriptures, a quality lacking in many Protestant songs. Three times as many Bible passages were read than was typical at my non-denominational and Baptist services I attended, and the priest spoke on the Great Commission and the need for evangelization. Many Catholics will not be able to appreciate my shock.
