110 TAON NG PAGKAKATATAG NG IGLESIA NI CRISTO INCORPORATED

Ang bilis ng panahon. Parang kailan lamang itinatag ng Ka Felix Y. Manalo ang kanyang Iglesia Ni Cristo sa Sitio Punta, Santa Ana, Lungsod ng Maynila, pero ngayon ay umabot na pala ito sa kanyang ika-110 taon.

Ano nga ba ang mga mahahalagang pangyayari sa loob ng iglesiang tatag ng Ka Felix Manalo sa loob ng 110 taon?

Una, hanggang sa kasalukuyan, hindi pa rin nagpapalabas ng opisyal na datos ang pamunuan ng INC-1914 kung ilan na nga ba ang kanilang mga kaanib mula ng itatag ito ng may-ari.

Sa datos noong 2020 sila ay mayroon lamang na na 2.8 milyong kaanib sa Pilipinas. Sa pangkalahatan, tinatayang hindi pa rin lumalagpas sa 3 milyon, may mga nagsasabi na sila'y umaabot na sa 10 milyon ngunit hindi ito tugma sa census ng Pilipinas. 

Sa kabuuang populasyon ng mga Pilipino, 2.6% lamang ang kaanib. Sa ibang bansa, ay hindi rin naman sila nakakahigit sapagkat ang mga Overseas Filipino Workers halos lahat ang laman ng kanilang mga kapilya o lokales.

Pangalawa, hindi pa rin malinaw kung binawi na ba ng Ka Eduardo V. Manalo ang kanyang pagtitiwalag sa kaniyang ina at kapatid sa laman. 

Matatandaan na noong Hulyo ng taong 2015, itiniwalag ng kasalukuyang Executive Minister ang sarili niyang ina at mga kapatid sa laman, sa INC 1914, hudyat na ang kanyang pamilya ay masusunog sa dagat-dagatang apoy ayon sa kanilang aral at doktrina.

Sa talaan ng mga propeta at mga sinugo ng Diyos na nasusulat sa Biblia, wala ni isa sa kanila ang nagtakwil sa kanilang mga magulang-- tanging si Ginoong Eduardo V. Manalo pa lamang ang gumawa nito. Hudyat ba ito na hindi nga tunay na sugo ang pinagmulang ninuno ni Ginoong EVM?

Pangatlo: kahit na makailang beses pang ituro at ipangaral ng mga ministro ng INC 1914, maging ng kanilang mga kaanib na si Cristo RAW ang NAGTATAG ng kanilang INC, lumalabas sa mga pahayagan sa twing sumasapit ang ika-27 ng Hulyo bawat taon na si Felix Manalo ang may-ari at nagtatag ng INC sa Pilipinas, tulad ng balitang nitong Huly 27 2024 mula sa The Manila Times: 

The Manila Times

Ang sabi ng pahayagang ito ay si Ginoong Felix Y. Manalo ang nagtatag nito bilang isang SOLE RELIGIOUS CORPORATION noong 1914. Sa pagbibilang natin hanggang sa kasalukuyan, TUNAY nga na SUMULPOT lamang itong iglesiang ito, taong 1914 kaya't sila ay 110 taon pa lamang sa kasalukuyan.

Kaya't binabati namin ng Maligayang 110 Taon ng Pagkakatatag ni Felix Manalo sa Iglesia Ni Cristo!

HAPPY FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY TO THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO 1914

 

Maligayang Anibersaryo ng Pagkakatatag ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® 1914 sa Pilipinas

HAPPY 105TH FOUNDING YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO®

JULY 27: (FACT) Today in Philippine History, Felix Manalo founded Iglesia ni Cristo in Punta Sta. Ana, Manila

On July 27, 1914, Brother Felix Manalo founded Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), largest homegrown Christian Church in the Philippines, in Punta, Sta. Ana, Manila.

Brother Manalo, whom followers and members recognized as God’s messenger, professed to the reestablishment of the original church founded by Jesus and claimed that the original church was apostatized.

The INC began with a handful of followers with Manalo as its head minister propagated his message within his local area, subsequently growing its members and converting members of other religions.

(First Iglesia Ni Cristo Congregation in Punta, Sta. Ana, Manila)

In 1924, the INC had about 3,000 to 5,000 members in 43 or 45 congregations in Manila and six nearby provinces. By 1936, the INC had 85,000 members. This figure grew to 200,000 by 1954.

A Cebu congregation was built in 1937, the first to be established outside of Luzon, and the first in the Visayas.

The first mission to Mindanao was commissioned in 1946.

Its first concrete chapel was built in Sampaloc, Manila in 1948.

As Manalo's health began to fail in the 1950s, his son, Eraño Manalo started to take leadership of the church. Felix Manalo died on April 12, 1963.

The first overseas INC mission was sent in 1968 on its 54th anniversary and in 1973, the church established a congregation in Honolulu, Hawaii on July 27, and in San Francisco, California.

The Ministerial Institute of Development, currently the New Era University College of Evangelical Ministry, was founded in 1974 in Quiapo, Manila. It moved to its current location in Quezon City in 1978.

In 1995, New Era University had 4,500 students and five extension schools in Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Pampanga and Rizal.

In 1971, the INC Central Office building was built in Quezon City. Fifteen years later, the Central Temple was added in the complex. The Tabernacle, a tent-like multipurpose building which can accommodate up to 4,000 persons, was finished in 1989. The complex also includes the New Era University, a higher-education institution run by the INC.

Eraño Manalo died on August 31, 2009. His son, Eduardo V. Manalo, succeeded him as executive minister upon his death.

According to the 2000 census of the Philippine National Statistics Office, 2.3 percent of the population in the Philippines was affiliated with the Iglesia ni Cristo.

Membership in the INC is conferred through baptism. People who wish to be baptized in the INC must first submit to a formal process taking at least six months.

Once someone officially registers with their locale, the person is given the status of Bible Student, as they are called within the Iglesia ni Cristo and taught the 25 lessons concerning fundamental beliefs of the INC.

Thursday and Sunday are its days of worship.

On July 27, 2009, President Gloria Arroyo declared this day of every year as the “Iglesia ni Cristo Day.”

The declaration was in keeping with Republic Act 9645, signed into law by the President on June 12, 2009, which designated the said day as a special working holiday in recognition of the founding anniversary of the INC in the Philippines.

104 Taon ng Pagkakatatag: Sila raw ang tunay?

Originally posted at Iglesia ni Cristo 33AD blog

Tuwang-tuwa at galak na galak ang mga kaanib ng samahang tatag ni Ginoong Felix Manalo ~ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® ~  sa tuwing sumasapit ang ika-27 ng Hulyo. Ito ay sapagkat ipinagdiriwang nila ang taon ng kanilang anibersaryo ng PAGKAKATATAG.

Ayon sa kanilang REHISTRO ang kanilang relihiyon ay itinatag ni G. Felix Manalo noon lamang ika-27 ng Hulyo 1914. Kaya't sa taon ng mga Katoliko na 2018, sila ay isandaan at apat (104) taon pa lamang ng pag-iral.

Sabihin man nila ng paulit-ulit na ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA ay peke, hindi tunay at tatag ng mga pagano, hindi pa rin ito papasa sa simpleng pagsusuri sa kasaysayan sapagkat sila na rin mismo ang umaamin na sila'y KAILAN lamang ITINATAG. Sapagkat ang Iglesia Katolika ay 2,018 taon na samantalang sila ay 104 pa lamang.

At sa Europa, sila ay 50 AÑOS pa lamang samantalang ang Iglesia Katolika ay halos 1,951 taon nang umiiral doon. Kung pagbabatayan natin ang bilang ng taon upang angkinin ang mga katagang "God's promises fulfulled" eh, malamang hindi sila ang tinutukoy kundi ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA na sa "pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo." (Pasugo Abril 1966, 9. 46).

Maging ang kanilang PAG-AANGKIN na ang "tunay" raw na Iglesia ay "NAKABALIK NA" sa kanyang "ORIHINAL" na tahanan, malaking katanungan pa rin sa atin kung BAKIT HANGGANG NGAYON AY NASA PILIPINAS PA RIN ANG KANILANG CENTRAL?

Kung ika'y isang kaanib sa INC™-1914 at ipinangaral sa iyo na ang "tunay" raw na Iglesia ay "nakabalik" na nga naman sa kanyang "original home" ayon sa itiniwalag na si Isais Samson Jr, hindi ba't kagalak-galak na balita ito?  

At dahil alam mo bilang isang INARALAN ng mga ministro ng INC™-1914 na ang ITINATAG ni G. Felix Manalo sa Pilipinas ay isang LOKAL lamang na kailangang IBALIK sa Jerusalem, hindi ba't NAKAKAPAGTATAKA nga naman na ang CENTRAL na PAMAMAHALA nito ay HINDI NALIPAT sa "original home" nito sa Jerusalem?

Lumalabas na ang INC™-1914 na tatag ni G. Manalo sa Pilipinas ay HINDI TOTOONG LOKAL lamang kundi ito ay isang IGLESIANG pagmamay-ari niya. Kaya't ang SENTRONG PAMAMAHALA nito ay HINDING-HINDI maililipat ito sa ibang bansa kundi sa PILIPINAS lamang. Sa Pilipinas itinatag at sa Pilipinas rin ito magwawakas! Ang pagkakaroon ng Central Offices ng  Iglesia Ni Cristo® sa Pilipinas ay hudyat na walang kinalaman si Cristo sa samahang 'yan at lalong wala silang koneksyon sa original na iglesia sa Jerusalem man o sa Roma.

IGLESIA SA ROMA, BINABATI BA NG LAHAT NG IGLESIA NI CRISTO®?

At bilang pang-wakas, ang kanilang paboritong talata sa Biblia, ang ROMA 16:16, wala po itong kinalaman sa kanila. Ang pinatutungkulan nito ay ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA na NASA ROMA. 

Bakit kaniyo?

Sapagkat ayon sa talata, "binabati KAYO (Iglesia sa Roma) ng lahat ng mga iglesia ni Cristo".

Bakit? May pagbati ba ang lahat ng "Iglesia Ni Cristo®" sa kanilang lokal sa Roma?

Wala pa akong natatandaan na ang lahat ng kanilang mga lokal sa buong mundo ay nagpapabati sa kanilang lokal sa Roma!

Saang parte ba ng mundo sila nagpapabati?

Sa kanilang CENTRAL sa Pinas.

Kailan?

Sa tuwing sumasapit ang ika-27 ng buwan ng Hulyo, araw ng kanilang pagkakatatag sa Pilipinas!

Kaya't kung kayo ay kaanib sa IGLESIA KATOLIKA, magalak at magpuri kayo sa Panginoong Diyos sapagkat ITO ay ang IGLESIANG INIIBIG ng Diyos, TINAWAG sa kabanalan, biyaya at kapayapaan at ang PANANAMPALATAYANG KATOLISISMO ay BANTOG sa BUONG MUNDO (Universal o καθ' ὅλης Kata Holos (Catholic)!

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. [Acts 9:31]

July 27, 2017 - 103rd Year of Lies and Deceit

IGLESIA NI CRISTO: Limang (5) Taon na noong 1918?? Samakatuwid itinatag pala ito noong 1913 at hindi 1914!

Ano kaya ang Pilipinas kung ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® ang naging pangunahing relihiyon sa bansa?

Alergic po ang mga kampon ni Manalo sa mga pagdiriwang na ginagawa ng mga Katoliko sa bansa.

Pero sa ganang akin, hindi po natin sila matutulungan sa problemang 'yan sa pagkat bago pa man ako isinilang, o nang aking mga ninuno ay halos kalahating milenya na po ang nakakaraan nung sinakop ng bansang España ang pulong bansang ito ay pinangalanang "Las Islas Filipinas"  o "The Islands of Philip".

Sino ba si Philip? Siya po ay isang Hari ng España noong panahong 'yon. 

Siya po ay isang Katoliko!

At ang mga nanakop ay Katoliko! Kaya Katoliko po ang NAGDALA ng MAGANDANG BALITA sa bansang ito tungkol kay CRISTO!

Katoliko po ang unang nagbahagi ng tungkol sa pangalang JESUS at CRISTO

Katoliko rin po ang unang nagdala ng Biblia rito sa bansa.

At Katoliko po ang NAGPAGANDA sa bansang ito! 

Kaya po ang mga sa tinagal-tagal na ng Iglesia Katolika sa bansang ito, ang kanyang mga NILULUMOT na SIMBAHAN ay mga YAMAN ng BAYAN.

Itinuturing po silang mga UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Pero ano nga pala ang mangyayari kung sakaling ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® or INC™ ang pangunahing relihiyon sa bansang ito?

CATHOLIC	IGLESIA NI CRISTO®
January 1, BAGONG TAON ayon sa Gregorian Calendar ng Katoliko	Marahil ay kokopya na lamang sila sapagkat walang kalendaryong sarili ang kanilang sugo Walang babati ng "Happy New Year" pero may babati ng "Maligayang Kaarawan" January 2, KAARAWAN ni ERAÑO MANALO
February 14, ST. VALENTINE'S DAY	Walang Pagdiriwang! Malungkot ang araw ng mga mag-iibigan
MAHAL NA ARAW, pagdiriwang ng Pagpapakasakit, Pagkamatay at Muling Pagkabuhay ni Hesus	Walang Holy week break Walang pagdiriwang maliban sa DEATH ANNIVERSARY ni FELIX MANALO sa buwan ng April 12
May 1, LABOR DAY	Walang LABOR DAY, bawal ang Labor Union sa INC™ May 10, KAARAWAN ni FELIX MANALO. Isang malaking pagdiriwang sa Central at mga INC Locale
June 12, INDEPENDENCE DAY	June 12 INDEPENDENCE DAY July 27, INC™ FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY, ang PINAKA-PASKO ng mga INC™ Milyon ang ginagastos ng INC™ para dito Walang pasok ang mga lahat ng INC™
August 15, Feast of the Assumption	August 31, DEATH Anniversary of Eraño G. Manalo
September 8, Birthday of Mary	Wala
October, month of the Holy Rosary	October 31, BIRTHDAY ni EDUARDO V. MANALO
November 1 ALL SAINTS DAY November 2, ALL SOULS DAY	Walang Break! Tuloy ang Trabaho! Walang pag-aaalala sa mga namatay na mahal sa buhay!
December 25, CHRISTMAS DAY	SANTA CENA (Huling Hapunan) Walang Christmas break Walang Christmas bonus Walang Christmas gifts Walang Christmas parties Walang Christmas trees Walang Christmas songs Walang Christmas spirit Maririnig natin ay ang INC™ Doxology

O di ba, NAPAKA-BORING ng Pilipinas?

Kung sa buong taon ay wala nang IPINAGDIRIWANG kundi ang KAPANGANAKAN at KAMATAYAN ng mga MANALO at nang kanilang KORPORASYONG tinawag nilang "IGLESIA NI CRISTO" naku, sigurado ko mangingibang bansa kayo para lamang maranasan ang mga masasayang pagdiriwang ng mga Katoliko sa buong mundo.

Kaya MAGPASALAMAT po tayo sapagkat sinakop tayo ng mga KATOLIKO.

Kundi, MANALONG-MANALO ang simoy ng hangin.

At ang PILIPINAS ay hindi ipapangalan kay HARING FILIP kundi ipapangalan sa REPUBLIKA DE VICTORIA!

O mas kilala sa Tagalog na "REPUBLIKA NG MANALO"  o "REPUBLIC OF MANALO"!

MERRY CHRISTMAS PO SA LAHAT ng FOLLOWERS ng IN DEFENSE OF THE CHURCH!

Foreword

The Iglesia ni Cristo will celebrate its 100th foundation anniversary on July 27, 2014. As fellow citizens of our country we join the members of the INC in remembering their history where we find virtue and commitment to God.

Anticipating the questions of the Catholic faithful that will arise on the occasion of this anniversary regarding the religious beliefs of the Iglesia ni Cristo, the present Primer was approved by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) as a guide for catechesis.

The respect we give to the religious beliefs of others should motivate us to get to understand those beliefs deeply, as this is demanded by the requirements of sincere dialogue. Differences in what we believe in do not make us distant from those who hold those beliefs, because as J. Maritain put it, among ideas contradictions are inevitable, but not among persons.

We cannot close our eyes to the fact that there are serious and deep differences between the Christian Faith and the doctrines of the Iglesia ni Cristo. Thus, this Primer presents in Part One what the Iglesia ni Cristo believes in; Part Two is on what the Catholic Faith teaches on those same points.

Pope Francis, talking about Interreligious dialogue in Evangelii gaudium (no. 251) explains: “In this dialogue, ever friendly and sincere, attention must always be paid to the essential bond between dialogue and proclamation, which leads the Church to maintain and intensify her relationship with non-Christians (cf. Propositio 53). (…) True openness involves remaining steadfast in one’s deepest convictions, clear and joyful in one’s own identity, while at the same time being “open to understanding those of the other party” and “knowing that dialogue can enrich each side” (JOHN PAUL II, Encyclical Letter Redemptoris Missio (7 December 1990), 56). What is not helpful is a diplomatic openness which says “yes” to everything in order to avoid problems, for this would be a way of deceiving others and denying them the good which we have been given to share generously with others. Evangelization and interreligious dialogue, far from being opposed, mutually support and nourish one another (Cf. BENEDICT XVI, Address to the Roman Curia (21 December 2012); VATICAN II, Decree on the Missionary Activity of the Church Ad Gentes, 9; Catechism of the Catholic Church, 856.)”

We pray that the wish of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Supper (“that they may all be one, even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee”) become a reality in the hearts of all Christians, so that the one Church founded by Him may become an agent of unity for all mankind.

PART ONE

THE BASIC BELIEFS OF THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO*

I. Jesus Christ and the Church He Founded

1. What does the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) teach about God?

There is only one God. He alone is God (Ps. 86:10). “For I am God, and there is no other” (Is. 45:21-22; Is. 46:9-10; Dt. 32:39, RSV). The INC interprets these as proofs against the Trinity of Persons in one God. God is unchangeable, immutable: “For I the Lord do not change” (Mal. 3:6, RSV). He did not and will not, become man or anything. Therefore, Jesus Christ is not God that became flesh. Christ is man, not God. And God is not man. “For I am God”, He emphasized, “and not man” (Hos. 11-9).

2. What does the Iglesia ni Cristo teach about Jesus Christ?

Despite His uniqueness when compared to all other men, Christ remains man in His state of being. Christ is never the true God. He is a true man (“But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God”: Jn. 8:40). When Apostle Matthew gave his account of the birth of Christ, he said that in the womb of Mary was a child (Mt 1:18), not a god. Christ, since birth, was subjected to the experiences and circumstances of human life, inherent in all men (sin, of course, excluded). The true God has no beginning nor is He a son of man (Ps 90:2; Num 23:19). He is Spirit (Jn. 4:24); He does not grow weary (Is 40:28), does not sleep (Ps 121:4). The true God is immortal (I Tim 1:17).

* The answers to the questions in this part are lifted from the INC publication This is the Iglesia ni Cristo (“The Church of Christ”).

3. Is Jesus Christ the Savior?

Tax-Payer's Money Used to Greet the INC 100th Foundation Anniversary

I share the views of Mr. Efren C. Carag who corageously pointed out the huge tax-payers money being used during the 100 Year Founding Anniversary of the INC of Manalo. This article was from Philippine Inquirer Online

On LGUs’ enviable recognition of INC
Nine pages of the July 27 issue of the Inquirer contained greetings to the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) on its 100th founding anniversary, including one on full page from the Office of the Mayor of Manila! Wow! These were in addition to such greetings in the earlier issues of the Inquirer, including INC’s less than one-fourth-page acknowledgement of the greetings.

The Inquirer was not the only media outfit that ran or aired such greetings. Billboards and tarpaulin sheets printed with words of felicitations for the religious sect could be found in every available nook and cranny of Metro Manila and, of course, Bulacan, where the INC has built a multibillion-peso multipurpose complex. There must have been a lot more of these messages in the rest of the country. Nagkakandarapa ang mga tao na bumati sa INC. (People are scrambling to greet the INC.)

As a Catholic, I cannot but envy the importance accorded to the INC. I am now a septuagenarian and I do not recall the Catholic Church being the subject of recognition of such breadth and scale, let alone in paid advertisements in the Inquirer.

As a Filipino, I lament the attention given to the INC. That the organization is a vaunted political force and influence is a given. Without doubt or question, the advertisers wish to be assured of the continuing vote of INC members to perpetuate them, their family, their children, their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren in power.

Such is just one part of my grievance.

My other concern is the source of funds used to pay for the publication and/or printing of the greetings. Most likely, it was the city, province or political unit; more specifically the Filipino people, with the taxes and exorbitant fees they pay for government services.

By the way, I do not take issue with the Inquirer’s multipage feature article on the INC in last July 27’s issue. I respect our constitutional guarantees on the freedom of religion and freedom of the press. What I cannot countenance is the implication from all this: how distant we still are from political uprightness and integrity.

SA PAGDIRIWANG ng SENTENARIO ng INC Tinupad ba ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO® o INC™ ang nakasaad sa ROMA16:16?

Ang ika-100 toang PAGKAKATATAG ng Iglesia ni Cristo^® na itinatag ni Felix Manalo. Tinalikdan ni Felix Manalo ang tunay na Iglesia-ang Iglesia Katolika bilang katuparan sa mga hula sa Biblia na tatalikod ang tao sa tunay na Iglesia.

Buong pagmamalaking sinasabi ng mga bayarang Ministro ng INC-1914 sa kanilang pamamayahag sa TV o radio o maging sa kanilang official magasing Pasugo na SILA (INC) raw ang mga nabanggit sa ROMA 16:16 "Binabati KAYO ng lahat ng mga IGLESIA NI CRISTO." (Orihinal na pagkasulat ay 'Binabati kayo ng lahat ng mga iglesia ni Cristo.')

Gusto lamang kasi nilang IPAMUKHA sa ating mga Katoliko na SILA raw ang TINUTUKOY doon sa Roma 16:16.

Sa tunog na lang "iglesia ni Cristo"  akala nil ay ang INC nga ang tinutukoy doon pero ating SURIIN at SIYASATING mabuti ang Roman 16:16 at mahahalatang MALABONG-MALABONG sila ang tinutukoy doon.  

UNA, ay sapagkat SULAT ito ni APOSTOL SAN PABLO sa mga KRISTIANO sa ROMA noong UNANG SIGLO. Ibig sabihin, may mga IGLESIA NI CRISTO na noon pa! Samakatuwid, HINDI ang INC-1914 ang tinutukoy dito ni Apostol San Pablo.

PANGALAWA, ay sapagkat SULAT po ito ni APOSTOL SAN PABLO sa mga KRISTIANO sa ROMA noong UNANG SIGLO pa. At ang INC ay sa PILIPINAS po ito ITINATAG noon lamang 1914 A.D. bilang TRADEMARK o business.  Hindi po ito ang iglesia noong unang siglo.

PANGATLO, ay sapagkat ang mga tinutukoy rito ni Apostol San Pablo ay ang ROMA bilang BANTOG ang PANANAMPALATAYA sa BUONG MUNDO (KATA-HOLOS) Roma 1:18.

"Una'y nagpapasalamat ako sa aking Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Jesucristo dahil sa inyong lahat, sapagkat tanyag sa buong daigding ang inyong pananampalataya."-Biblia ng Sambayanang Pilipino

Ilan lamang 'yan sa mga rason kung bakit ang Roma 16:16 HINDI ang INC ni MANALO noong 1914. [Basahin din ang aking artikulong may pamagat na "Alin nga ba ang iglesiyang binabati ng lahat ng mga iglesia ni Cristo?"]

PANSININ niyo ang uri ng kanilang paniniwala at PAG-AANGKIN sa ROMA 16:16

http://tunaynalingkod.blogspot.com/2013/07/ang-araw-ng-paghuhukom.html

Sige, SAKYAN natin ang kanilang HILING! Sabihin nating INC ni MANALO nga ang tinutukoy doon.

Roma 16:16 “Mangagbatian kayo ng banal na halik. Binabati KAYO ng lahat ng mga INC.”

Kailan ba nakarating sa ROMA ang INC?

Ang LOKAL ng INC sa ROMA ay opisyal na naitala lamang noong Huly 27,1994.

Ibig sabihin ay 20 taon pa LAMANG ang INC sa ROMA? 

Paano naman babatiin ng lahat ng INC ang LOCAL na INC sa ROMA eh halos 20 taon pa lamang sila sa Roma?

KABALIKTARAN pa nga!

Ang BINABATI ng lahat ng mga INC ay ang INC sa PILIPINAS at HINDI ang INC sa ROMA!

O akala ba namin ay KAYONG mga INC ang binabanggit sa ROMA 16:16?  Bakit naman CENTRAL ang BINABATI ng LAHAT ng mga INC at HINDI ang LOKAL ninyo sa ROMA ang BINABATI?

Isang sa mga maraming billboards na pinaglalagay ng mga pulitiko sa Pilipinas! Ang pagbati sa ika-100 taon ng PAGKAKATATAG nga ng INC-1914

ANO NGA BA ANG IPINAGDIRIWANG NA SENTENARIO NG IGLESIA NI CRISTO-1914?

Huwag po kayong malito.

Ang ipinagdiriwang po ng INC ni Manalo ngayong araw na ito ay HINDI po kaarawan ni FELIX MANALO, o ni ERAÑO MANALO o ni EDUARDO MANALO.

Lalong HINDI po ito pagdiriwang ng "GOD'S BLESSINGS" tulad ng mga tarpouline na nagiging sore-eyes sa kahabaan ng Commonwealth Avenue sa Lungsod ng Quezon.

HINDI po nila ito ILALAGAY sa kanilang mga pagbati sa harap ng kanilang mga patulis na TEMPLO.

Ang kanilang IPINAGDIRIWANG ay walang iba kundi ang PAGKAKATATAG ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO  sa VERSION ni MANALO noong 1914.

Patunay?

Heto ang sabi ng PASUGO (official magazine ng INC-1914).

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."

Registration ng INC sa Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission

Bakit CIUDAD DE VICTORIA?

Hindi po kasi nila kayang palitan ang Lungsod ng Maynila kay Manalo kung saan ang unang kapilya ng INC ay naitatag sa PUNTA, STA. ANA, MANILA.

At lalong hindi nila maaaring angkinin ang Lungsod ng Quezon para kay Manalo.  Sinubukan pa ngang gawing FELIX MANALO AVENUE ang buong COMMONWEALTH AVENUE kung saan naroon ang kanilang CENTRAL pero hindi po ito kinatigan ng Lungsod ng Quezon.

Kaya't sila'y GUMAWA ng sarili nilang LUNGSOD na nakapangalan kay MANALO.

Pero HINDI HALATA. Masyado kasing MANALONG-MANALO na ang mga PAGPUPURI at PAGBIBIGAY PARANGAL sa lahat ng mga kanilang mga GUSALI.

Tulad ng NEW ERA. Hango po iyan kay ERA-ÑO (ERA NEW).

Mahilig lang ang mga INC sa paglalaro ng SALITA.

Tulad ng "mga iglesia ni Cristo". Eh kapag nakasulat na po ito sa kanilang mga babasahin ay nagiging "Iglesia" na! Ung i ay nagiging I na!

Kaya't bumili sila ng LOTE na MAS MALAKI sa sukat ng VATICAN CITY sa ROMA kung saan nakatayo ang ORIHINAL na IGLESIA NI CRISTO (sulat ni Apostol San Pablo sa mga Kristiano sa Roma) sa pagitan ng BOCAUE at STA. MARIA sa Probinsiya ng Bulacan at tinawag ng CIUDAD DE VICTORIA

Ang CIUDAD DE VICTORIA po ay ESPAÑOL o WIKANG KASTILA na sumakop sa atin sa mahigit 300 taon.

Bagamat bitter na bitter sila sa mga Kastila pero nakapagtataka kung bakit wikang Kastila ang gamit sa pagpapangalan ng kanilang lugar?

Dito kasi NAKATAGO ang mga TUNAY na PANGALAN ng lugar.

PETSA NG JULY 27, NASA BIBLIA BA?

Kung TUMUTULIGSA nga naman ang mga kaanib ng INC ni Manalo ukol sa Disyembre 25 bilang araw na nakalaan sa KAPANGANAKAN NI CRISTO ay wagas.

http://tunaynalingkod.blogspot.com/2013/12/december-25-birthday-of-sun.html

Para sa kanila WALA raw sa BIBLIA ang PETSA ng kapanganakan ni Cristo.  At sa simpleng Teolohiya ng mga kaanib, KUNG WALA SA BIBLIA ay HINDI TOTOO.

Ano kaya kung IBALIK natin sa kanila ang mga katanungan?

NASA BIBLIA BA ANG JULY 27 bilang PAGDIRIWANG ng PAGKAKATATAG ng INC?!!!

The CATHOLIC CHURCH' contribution to the IGLESIA NI KRISTO-1914

By 100% Katolikong Pinoy:

There may be friends from the Iglesia Ni Cristo (originally Iglesia ni Kristo) who will be jovially celebrating their sect’s 100th Anniversary this weekend. This marks their church’s 100th year of thriving from July 27, 1914, the date their sect has been registered in the Securities and Exchange Commission during the American rule. Along with your chatter with your INC friends about their sect’s achievements and assets, let us also share to them some of the significant contributions that our Holy Mother Church had unselfishly endowed to them for their use.

1. The word CHAPEL (“Kapilya”) – Members of the INC use this term often, than the politically correct term “gusaling pangsamba”. But little do they know that the word CHAPEL itself is of purely Catholic origin. The term is first used to call the small housing structures or shrines where the relic cloak of St. Martin of Tours is kept, thus CAPELLA (little cape), from the Latin word CAPA or cloak. The cloak is used by the French knights in their war efforts, asking the intercession of St. Martin of Tours for them to win the battles. As customary, the cloak is transportable, so various housing structures were built in every place to house the cloak relic. The Catholic people use those structures for worship, thus the word CHAPEL became of regular use to mean local small church buildings and communities.

The word CHAPEL/KAPILYA is not found in the Bible.

2. The word SANTA CENA (Holy Supper) – Since the Philippines has been under Spanish rule, Spanish language is once part of the Filipino familiar tongue. The Holy Mass then is also widely known as the Holy Supper (even until now), or Santa Cena in Spanish. The founders of the Iglesia Ni Kristo adapted this term to mean their own worship service, particularly using some items somewhat identical to the Catholic Holy Mass (that is, bread and wine)

3. The term ECCLESIASTICAL DISTRICT – From the word ECCLESIA, Latin word for “Church”. Latin-speaking Catholics derived ECCLESIA from the Greek word EKKLESIA, which means “a group of those who were called out.”. An Ecclesiastical District in the INC is in the same principle and means used by the Catholic Church – a group of smaller locales or churches in a significant territory.

4. The term PASTORAL VISITATION – This term constitutes a bishop or an archbishop visiting a parish or a religious entity/territoty for a specific purpose (can also be applied to the Pope, though the term would be a PAPAL VISIT). In the INC, this means a visit of their Executive Minister to a locale.

5. The term IGLESIA – a term used originally by Spanish-speaking Catholics hailing from Hispania (Iberian Peninsula), a transliteration of the Latin Word ECCLESIA. In Spanish -speaking countries, when you ride a taxi and say to a driver to drive you to an IGLESIA, the cab driver will drive you to the nearest Catholic Church in the area.

Other also noteworthy contributions are the following.

1. The famous architect of their houses of worship is a devout Catholic named Carlos A. Santos-Viola. Gaining respect from the INC, he was repeatedly invited to join the sect, but he declines every time. Carlos served in the Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Quezon City and died on July 31, 1994.

2. Without the Gregorian Calendar promulgated by Pope Gregory XIII, there might be no observance of the July 27, 2014 Anniversary or the date would be different

—————————–.

We wish our friends in the Iglesia ni Cristo 1914 a peaceful, contemplative and worthwhile observance of their church’s 100th [FOUNDING] Anniversary! And to our Catholic brothers and sisters, BE PROUD AND THANKFUL of this generous and all-embracing UNIVERSAL (Catholic) CHURCH that we all belong! [INC's knows the CATHOLIC CHURCH is still the TRUE CHURCH JESUS FOUNDED).

Taxpayer sues PHLPost over Iglesia ni Cristo postage stamp

Again, the Philippine Inquirer nailed the facts that FELIX MANALO is the FOUNDER of the Iglesia ni Cristo^®

Centennial Commemorative Stamp from PhilPost featuring INC's Founder and First Executive Minister Felix Y. Manalo.

MANILA, Philippines—A taxpayer has taken legal action against the Philippine Postal Corp. or PHLPost for its issuance of postage stamps marking the 100th founding anniversary of Iglesia ni Cristo, saying that public funds should not be used to benefit a religious group.

Renato Peralta of Las Piñas City filed for injunction last week in the Manila Regional Trial Court to stop PHLPost, a government-owned corporation, from paying for the printing of the INC centennial postage stamps and to stop their distribution.

“Coming up with the commemorative stamp of the INC is tantamount to sponsorship of a religious activity” which is prohibited by the Constitution, Peralta said.

Reached by the Inquirer for comment, Peralta said he was a court employee and a member of a Christian group. He said the issue was the use of public funds when “there is no legitimate government activity.”

There will be a hearing on July 4 at Branch 33 of the Manila Regional Trial Court, he said.

The INC will mark its 100th year of registration in the Philippines on July 27. The postage stamp shows the INC Central Temple and a portrait of the late Felix Manalo, founder and first executive minister...

MANILA, Philippines (PDI Online)—The Philippine Postal Corp. (Philpost) on Saturday launched the Iglesia ni Cristo Centennial Commemorative Stamp at the INC Central Office in Diliman, Quezon City, to mark the 100th anniversary of the church’s registration in the Philippines.

In ceremonies held at the INC’s Bulwagan, Postmaster General Ma. Josefina M. de la Cruz and Executive Minister Eduardo V. Manalo unveiled the stamp that features the INC Central Temple and the late Felix Y. Manalo, founder and first executive minister of the INC, in sepia. At the bottom of the stamp is the INC centennial logo in color. 

The launch coincided with the 128th birth anniversary of Felix Y. Manalo. 

The stamp, 50 millimeters by 35 mm, is bigger than the ordinary-sized 40 mm by 30 mm stamps, which De la Cruz said was “not an arbitrary decision.” 

Twice the number

“It passed through certification by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines,” she said. 

De la Cruz said Philpost will issue 1.2 million of the stamps, which is more than twice the number of stamps they usually issue for a single design. 

After the unveiling, Manalo, De la Cruz and Philpost chair Cesar Sarino participated in the ceremonial signing of the INC stamp’s “first day cover.” 

De la Cruz also presented a souvenir frame of the centennial stamp to the INC leader.

In his speech, Manalo noted the significance of the launch date of the centennial stamp in remembering the founder of the INC and his ministry.

PhilStar said: “Felix Manalo Founded the INC® in its update on QC traffic caused by this cult massive campaign propaganda

Adamant INC paid Ministers would deny that Felix Manalo didn’t found the INC but Christ.

So why can’t they just correct these professional journalists to straighten their reporting based on “facts” so that they would say Christ founded the INC^® in the Philippines?

But of course, their official position even it’s “official” does not necessarily based on FACTS

Journalism requires honesty based on FACTS. That alone will guarantee us that what we hear or read are TRUE to their values.

So consistently, as I have predicted, before their 100th FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY, all reporters locally and international would be saying the same…

"The traffic scheme shall remain in effect for the duration of the INC event, which will also coincide with the eve of the 128th birth anniversary of INC's founder and first executive minister Felix Manalo…" - PhilStar

If you are a NON-FILIPINO what church would you want to join?

Your choice is your salvation!

FACTS: What you should know about the Iglesia ni Cristo®

MANILA, Philippines (Rappler) – This day in 1914, the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) was officially registered by Felix Manalo, a Catholic who became dissatisfied with theological teachings he grew up with.

Manalo came up with new-found doctrines that have become the foundation of a new church which he initially established in Sta Ana, Manila.

From its humble beginnings in Manila, the INC has gained a nationwide, and even worldwide, following.

After 99 years, INC has remained alive, and has become a significant part of history. Its large following has become a vital part of the country’s social and political life through the years.

It has been known to lobby for government posts for members of its church. Among its members who were appointed to various posts are Land Transportation Office chief Virginia Torres, former Justice secretaries Serafin Cuevas and Artemio Tuquero, former Court of Appeals Justice Nicolas Lapeña Jr, former National Bureau of Investigation chiefs Reynaldo Wycoco and Magtanggol Gatdula, and former Philippine National Police chief Edgardo Aglipay.

Political leaders and even presidential aspirants have sought audiences with the Manalos, seeking their endorsement.

Debate over whether the INC has remained influential continues, but most political strategists prefer to err on the side of caution, still opting to seek the blessing of the INC head.

The group is now headed by the founder’s grandson, Eduardo Manalo – the 3rd person to have become the groups’ leader.
