Ang Pag-Anib sa Iglesia Katolika ay Karapat-dapat at Tama!

Ang tunay na PAGBABALIK-LOOB sa Diyos ay hindi ang SISIRAAN ang dating kinaaniban iglesia tulad ng mga dating katoliko na umanib sa samahang tatag ni Ginoong Felix Manalo na walang bukambibig kundi ang siraan ang Iglesia Katolika.

Ang mga UMANIB sa Iglesia Katolika na sa "pasimula ay siyang [tunay] Iglesia ni Cristo." (Pasugo Abril 1966, p. 6) ay umanib dahil nakita nila ang KATOTOHANAN rito. Nakita nila ang tunay na kaligtasan rito at nadama nila ang tunay na pagmamahal ng IISA at TUNAY NA DIYOS ~ ang BANAL NA TRINIDAD ~ Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo! Dito nila nasumpungan ang totoong PAMILYA NG DIYOS na kinaaniban ng mga banal. At ayon sa kasaysayan ay SIYANG NAG-IISA, TUNAY na Iglesiang TATAG ni Cristo at hindi ang nagpapanggap ng Iglesiang tatag lamang noong 1914 sa Pilipinas.

I didn’t need a degree in theology to convert. Being Catholic just felt right.

While most people my age are leaving the churches of their childhood or declaring themselves “spiritual but not religious,” I decided, during my freshman year of college, to join a centuries-old hierarchical church. When I tell people about my choice to become Catholic four years ago, reactions vary from shocked facial expressions to genuine congratulations to complete disgust—even from people raised in the church. But there is one question nearly everyone asks me when I tell them I decided to join the Catholic Church when I was 19: “Why?”

It is a question I am not sure I have a satisfying answer to. I was recently out at a bar with friends from my graduate school and mentioned my conversion. A stranger who overheard this leaned over the crowded table to ask me what drew me to the Catholic Church. I laughed at the question, a bit taken aback that this man did not realize how personal the question was. I joked that “I was jealous of all the kids in my neighborhood that had first Communion parties growing up!”

If I had given this stranger a real answer, however, I would have had to tell him a drawn-out story of how God slowly worked in my life to pull me toward experiencing him in the Eucharist.

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.

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.

Sa Gawa Sila'y Kalaban ni Cristo

Karapatan ninomang angkinin na sila ay ang "tunay" na Iglesiang tatag ni Cristo ngunit sa kasaysayan at sa kanilang mga baluktot na gawa, nahahayag ang katotohanang ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO® na tatag ni G. Felix Y. Manalo noong 1914 sa Sitio Punta Sta. Ana Maynila, Pilipinas at HINDI kay Cristo ay ito'y isang HUWAD lamang.

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."

HUWAD! Sapagkat sila'y natutuwa sa kasamaan at nagagalak sa kapighatian ng kanilang kapwa-tao!

37,000+ to Become Catholic at Easter Vigil Mass in the USA

WASHINGTON— Dioceses across the country will be welcoming thousands of people into the Catholic Church at Easter Vigil Masses on the evening of April 20th. As the culmination of the Easter Triduum, the Vigil celebrates the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While people can become Catholic at any time of the year, the Easter Vigil is a particularly appropriate moment for adult catechumens to be baptized and for already-baptized Christians to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church. Parishes welcome these new Catholics through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).

Many of the dioceses across the nation have reported their numbers of people who intend to become Catholic on Saturday to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). Based on these reports, more than 37,000 people are expected to be welcomed into the Church at Easter Vigil Masses.

Our Hearts are Burning for Our Catholic Faith

The Notre Dame fire burns a hole in our hearts, yet cannot consume our faith

Aleteia

Disbelief and shock are uniting Catholics and the French nation.
PARIS — There are very few words to sum up the emotions of Catholics and non-Catholics alike as we watch the fire sweeping through the rooftops of Notre Dame. Crowds gather in silence to stare in disbelief, in prayer, and perhaps with a glimmer of hope that the firefighters can get control of the fire before it destroys one of France’s greatest treasures any further.

The cathedral that stands so prominently along the banks of the River Seine is not only the symbol of Paris but a refuge for its citizens, offering Masses and support through major events, including the terrorist attacks in 2015. And now as we see its famous spire falling, there are tears in the eyes of many of those gathered — regardless of their faith.

The shock of the blaze runs so deep perhaps because we’ve taken this imposing cathedral for granted for so long. An 856-year-old monument is collapsing before our eyes, incredibly at a time that major restoration work had only just started. A solid structure that seemed to replicate the strength of the many French Catholics, a cathedral that survived bombings, floods, and terrorist plots over centuries has now succumbed to a fire, which may have started accidentally due to the present renovation project.

Still Catholic Converts are Rising Despite Scandals

"I will build MY CHURCH" says the Lord Jesus Christ, the FOUNDER of the CATHOLIC CHURCH ~ the real, only CHURCH OF CHRIST on earth. A Church not founded by fallen men and women. A Church that has been tested in the past 2000 years. The Devil is trying hard to infiltrate His Church but these evil men and women who are IN His Church will be exposed in fulfillment of His promise that "the gates of hell shall not prevail"! (Mt. 16:16-18)

Despite scandals, over 1,000 British to become Catholic at Easter

WESTMINSTER, England, March 19, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Despite the clerical abuse and cover-up scandals that have rocked the Catholic Church, over 1,000 people in England and Wales are expected to join the Church this Easter.

The UK’s Tablet reported last week that 419 catechumens (converts awaiting baptism) and candidates (baptized Christians seeking to be received into the Church) participated in the Rite of Election in Westminster Cathedral in London on March 9 and 10. Representing the largest group of converts, they came from 93 parishes. In Birmingham, 181 candidates and catechumens participated in their diocesan Rite of Election. In Nottingham, there were 151; in Portsmouth, 115; in the Diocese of East Anglia, 62; in Clifton, 47; in Lancaster, 32; and in Middlesbrough, 23.

In addition to these English figures, 37 prospective Catholics took part in the Rites of Election held in Cardiff, Wales.

At Westminster Cathedral in London, Cardinal Vincent Nichols addressed the 200 catechumens and 219 candidates, saying: “These ceremonies are among the largest gatherings of people from parishes across the diocese who join me in giving thanks for the great work that God is carrying out in your lives.”

“We give thanks to God for the ways in which our parishes and diocesan family will be enriched by you, and we promise to continue to support you and your families with our prayers and the example of Christian life that you experience in our parish communities,” he continued.

In St. John’s Cathedral in Norwich, 30 catechumens and 32 candidates from across the Diocese of East Anglia gathered for their Rites of Election on Sunday, March 10.

In his homily, Bishop Alan Hopes told the prospective Catholics, “Today is a celebration of your hope and trust in Jesus Christ, to whom you turn for salvation. Today you are being elected, chosen, called to salvation. The Church rejoices with you as she numbers you amongst all those who have been called and chosen.”

“During Lent, together with the whole Church, you are being called to turn to the Lord. You are being called to deepen your commitment to Him and so grow in holiness. You are being called to become saints of God,” Hopes continued.

“This call is not just for special people, but for everyone. We are all called to become like Jesus Christ.”

The Catholic Church in Scotland, which is overseen by the Scottish Bishops’ Conference, expects to welcome dozens more into the fold this Easter. According to Peter Kearney, the director of Scotland’s Catholic Media Office, this year there are 57 catechumens and candidates for the Diocese of Glasgow and 22 for the Diocese of Motherwell.

The other Scottish dioceses had not yet responded to a request for information by press time.

ChurchPop: Pentecostal Benny Hinn Says Catholics Have More Miracles, Credits Eucharist

Sa kasaysayan ng tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo, maraming himala na ang naitala sa mahabang kasaysayan nito mula 33 A.D. Sa mga nagpapanggap na Iglesia raw ni Cristo (1914), may naitala na ba silang himala? Hanggang ngayon WALA!

Source: ChurchPOP

This is a bit unexpected.

A video is being shared around on social media (watch it at the bottom of this article) of Pentecostal preacher and supposed faith-healer Benny Hinn telling a Pentecostal audience that Catholics experience more miracles than Pentecostals. Amazingly, he credits this to the Catholic belief in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, which Hinn says he also affirms (at least a version of it). He also credits the fact that Catholics don’t “church hop” (or jump for church to church) as much as Pentecostals.

“They just released a study that more people are healed in a Catholic church than in Pentecostal churches,” Hinn tells his audience. It’s not clear what study he is referring to. “The studies have proven it,” he declares.

He then explains why he thinks that is the case: “Because Catholic people revere the Eucharist.

“More people get healed in a Catholic church during communion than Pentecostals… because to us it’s symbolic.”

He then defends the doctrine of the real presence: “Well Jesus didn’t say, ‘This is symbolic of body,’ he said, ‘This is my body’; [he didn’t say,] ‘This is symbolic of my blood,’ he said, ‘This is my blood.'”

“And I believe, I always have believed, that in the Spirit it is his body, in the Spirit its hid blood, so you revere it. There’s healing in communion. Absolutely, I’ve seen it happen in my own ministry.”

It’s important to note that Catholics believe in transubstantiation, which says that the bread and wine truly become Jesus in substance, not simply spiritually. In saying he believes the bread and wine becomes Jesus’ body and blood “in the Spirit,” Hinn appears to be affirming something different than the Catholic doctrine.

He then points to the relative lack of “church hopping” among Catholics: “And there’s healing in the Catholic churches because these people are devoted and show up every Sunday. They don’t church hop. We hop, they don’t. That’s why we’re sick, and many of them are healed.”

He then goes on to talk about miracles he’s seen in Coptic Christian communities, saying that they have miracles for similar reasons as Catholics.

Other than the fact that he’s addressing a Pentecostal audience, it’s not clear when or where the video was taken.

Eli Soriano vs Eli Soriano (on the Trinity)

Eli Soriano: "Pantay ba 'yon?" (Running time 2:05) referring to the Father as greater than the Son (John 20:29). Elie Soriano rejects the Doctrine of the Trinity saying the Father and the Son are NOT equal.

Eli Soriano: "Magkapantay sila, magka-uri sila..." (Running time: 5:07) referring to the Father and the Son as equals (Phil. 2:6)

Iglesia Katolika Lamang ang Tunay na Iglesia!

Wala ibang religious leader ng iba't ibang christian denominations ang nakagagawa nito na maiuugnay ang major religions para sa usaping pangkapayapaan at kapatiran kundi ang Santo Papa ng Holy Roman Church. Maging sa mga Churches sa loob ng Simbahang Katolika mapasa East o mga Orthodox ang point of unity pa rin ay ang Roman Pontiff na kayang magpatawag ng Synod o meeting ng mga Obispo o maging Ecumenical Council.

Kaya makikita natin ang Apostolic Link o Succession from St. Peter the Apostle and Pope Francis. Samakatuwid, ang Simbahang Katolika ang tunay na Iglesia ni Kristo na kanyang itinatag. Viva il Papa! (Bro. Louie Peñafiel Hermosa)
