In Defense of the Church: INC Indoctrination

"The Christianity of history is not Protestantism. If ever there were a safe truth it is this, and Protestantism has ever felt it so; to be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant." (-John Henry Newman, An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine).

"Where the bishop is, there let the people gather; just as where ever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church". -St. Ignatius of Antioch (ca 110 AD)a martyr later thrown to the lions, wrote to a church in Asia Minor. Antioch was also where the term "Christian" was first used.

“But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.” 1 Timothy 3:15

"This is the sole Church of Christ, which in the Creed we profess to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic." -CCC 811

'GETTING TO KNOW THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO': PANLILITO AT PANLILINLANG — GAWAIN NG KADILIMAN

Ano nga ba talaga? Iglesia Ni Cristo o Church of Christ? O pareho?

Alam niyo ba ang mga paniki ay ang bukod tanging mammals na may pakpak at karaniwa’y nakikitang lumilipad pagsapit ng takipsilim hanggang sa magbubukang-liwayway.

Ang mga paniki ay HINDI IBON. Katulad din sila ng ibang mga mammals na may buhok at hindi balahibo. Nanganganak at hindi nangingitlog tulad ng mga ibon maliban sa Monotreme na nangingitlog.

Ngunit sa mga taong hindi pa nakakakita ng paniki sa kanilang buhay, sa biglang tingin, habang sila’y lumilipad sa kadiliman, pagkakamalan nga naman silang mga ibon.

Dahil sa totoo lang, ang akala ng ilan, ang LAHAT NG LUMILIPAD ay ibon. Nakakalito! Nakakalinlang! Hindi ba?

Kaya ginamit ko ang paghahambing na ito ay sapagkat MARAMING MGA Kristiano ang NABULID sa ganitong PAGKALITO kaya’t NALINLANG. Akala nila tunay na Iglesia, iyon pala ay huwad.

Gawain po kasi ni Satanas ang panlilito para makapanlinlang.

Aminin po natin na NAPAKARAMI pang mga Katoliko ang SALAT na SALAT pa sa KAALAMAN tungkol sa pananampalataya. Kaya't ito ay SINASAMANTALA ng mga bulaang mangangaral upang manlito at manlilang.

Maraming mga Katoliko na ang UMANIB sa samahang ITINATAG ni FELIX MANALO (na dating Katoliko rin) noong taong 1914 sa pag-aakalang ang ‘IGLESIA NI CRISTO®’ na KANIYANG TATAG ay ang “tunay” raw na Iglesiang itinatag ni Cristo.

PANLILINLANG SA PAMAMAGITAN NG WIKA

INQUIRER: INC ‘thinking’ members to defy group’s practice of bloc voting

"INC was founded in Manila in 1914, or 101 years ago by Felix Manalo. It is said to have 2 million members worldwide. The present executive minister, Eduardo Manalo, is Felix’s grandson."

SAYING they are “willing to break from tradition,” members of Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) who call themselves the INC Thinking Voters have decided to defy the long-held bloc voting practice inside their church and vote in the 2016 national elections for the candidate who they feel “will stand for what is right.”

No longer observing “blind obedience to corrupt INC officials,” the INC Thinking Voters vowed to “speak loudly and clearly” during the elections.

They also exposed the INC’s hand in the government bureaucracy while accusing previous presidents and administrations of “creating a monster.”

In a strongly worded letter to all presidential candidates dated Dec. 11, the INC Thinking Voters said it represented the majority of INC members “who are rebelling inside because we could no longer close our eyes to what is happening in our church.”

INC is known for voting as a bloc that politicians eagerly woo during elections. But the INC Thinking Voters will no longer be silent and passive, the letter said. In other countries, such as the United States, INC members are not compelled to vote as a bloc, according to the group.

The group said it was looking for “a strong-willed President” whose platform would prioritize the eradication, among others, of three evils: bribery and corruption in government, endorsements by special interest groups of political appointees and the “padrino” culture.

‘Root of all evil’

Over the years, the INC Thinking Voters said, its church “has been allowed to grow in size and influence, but as proven by recent events, it now wields more power than the State. At the root of all EVIL is the precious BLOC VOTES (emphasis supplied). The monster is not INC per se but the people who now run our church. The INC doctrines remain pure; it is how they are used and abused by the current INC leadership that has destroyed what was once pristine.”

INC was founded in Manila in 1914, or 101 years ago by Felix Manalo. It is said to have 2 million members worldwide. The present executive minister, Eduardo Manalo, is Felix’s grandson.

Recently, INC was mired in controversy when Eduardo’s mother (wife of the late Eraño Manalo, who had served as INC’s second executive minister after Felix), brother and sister, along with several ministers, were expelled from INC for allegedly airing grievances and issuing pleas for help because of alleged danger to their lives.
