INC says The True Church of Christ is the Catholic Church

This is what I’ve got from a username LapuLapu Post No.624 in a forum dedicated to Filipino Apologetics (Catholic Forum). I haven’t verified its truthfulness however if these quoted pages from Iglesia ni Cristo’s Official Magazine are inaccurate I wish to have a scanned copy to prove its inaccuracies. In the meantime let’s assume these are true quotations from Iglesia ni Cristo's Official Magazine as they have been unwittingly published such truthfulness intentionally or by coincidence.

And I quote:

Pasugo Magasin, April 1955 pp. 36.

“The truth – the church built by Christ is the true church. There can be no other else. It began in Jerusalem.”

Pasugo Magasin, September – October 1988 pp. 14.

“The Church of Christ that started in the Philippines will reach the West.”

(Note the contradictory statements. The former Pasugo Magazine states that the church built by Christ began in Jerusalem and the latter states that it started in the Philippines. )


Pasugo Magasin, March – April 1984 pp. 14.

“Christ, therefore, is the foumder of his church, the true church. Hence, a church established by any other founder means a bogus or false church.”

Pasugo Magasin, May 1997 pp. 11.

“Way back on July 27, 1914, the Church of Christ was registered with the Philippine government. The registration papers state among other things that Brother Felix Y. Manalo is the founder of the Iglesia ni Cristo.”

( Note the contradictory statements of the two magazines. It explicitly means that the Iglesia ni Cristo is a bogus church. )

Pasugo Magasin, 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.”
