INC was Founded by Felix Manalo in 1914 says the Media

The INC was founded in 1914 by Felix Manalo, who the church claims was “the last messenger of God”.

"In the 2010 national census, 2.45 per cent of the population said they were members, making it the third largest religion in the Philippines after Roman Catholicism and Islam. It also has supporters around the world, particularly in overseas Filipino communities.

ABS-CBN: Masked INC members hold protest in California

Posted at 11/02/15 1:06 PM

CALIFORNIA – About a hundred current and former members of Iglesia ni Cristo convened outside the district headquarters in Anaheim, California, to continue demands for a more transparent church.

Dressed in masks, active and expelled members of INC picketed outside the INC Southern California District Office over the weekend.

While the members didn't speak much, their signs said it all.

''All they have to do is just come out and explain, be transparent with what's going on inside the church,'' said expelled member Richard Vasquez.

''All we're looking for is just the truth. We're not here to go against anybody. We're just against the corruption. If there's no corruption just stand up and say there's no corruption and prove it and stand by your word."

For the active INC members, joining such action put them at risk of being expelled from the church. But for the chance to stop any alleged corruption, it's a risk they're willing to take.

"They just want to make a point, when it comes to what we're doing here. So maybe perhaps they're scared or afraid but that is only because that's what the church administration is instilling in their heart -- that they should be afraid or scared. But we're not scared to expose the truth,'' Vasquez said.

Since allegations of church corruption and abductions surfaced earlier this year, some members have expressed their opinions.

Church leaders, however, said these actions are against the teachings of the INC and that the protestors have already been given explanations by the church administration.

''Clearly their intention in holding this demonstration is to cause division in the church, to further their misguided cause. This is to cause doubts among the members of the church. We're not going to stand and do nothing about it,'' INC resident minister Gino Ramilo said.

Leaders said members who are identified during these protest actions would be subject to due process that could eventually lead to expulsion.

''We try to teach them again the doctrines recorded in the bible. But if they make that choice, if they make that decision to continue to do something to disrupt the unity, you're no longer a Christian, you're no longer a follower of Christ,'' said INC minister Julius Malabanan.

This latest action comes after former INC minister Lowell Menorca II filed cases against several INC leaders over his alleged abduction.

Ex-INC™ Minister Lowell Menorca II bares it all against the notorious Sanggunian of the Iglesia Ni Cristo®

Source: Inquirer.net

The expelled minister of Iglesia ni Cristo who recently surfaced said that members of the Sanggunian, the highest administrative council of the powerful church, wanted him killed.

Facing the media on Sunday, Lowell Menorca II recounted the attempt on his life which took place in Dasmarinas City in Cavite province on July 17.

Menorca said that he was made to sit in an empty car when suddenly, a “round thing,” which was later identified as a hand grenade, was thrown inside the vehicle.

“After alighting the coaster, they made me sit in a car. They locked the door and immediately they left the scene. The driver of another car went to the backside and threw a round thing inside the car, at the backseat. I knew that it was a grenade,” Menorca said.

When the grenade did not go off, another alleged police officer was sent to kill him.

“When we were already in an isolated area, he was looking for a gun. That’s when I begged him. Sabi ko, ‘Please don’t kill me. Maawa ka na sa akin, sir. Ang katunayan po ay ministro ako ng Iglesia ni Cristo at may asawa po ako at isang anak.’ I was already crying to him. Sabi ko, ‘I am not a bad person. Huwag niyo naman po sanang hayaan na lumaki ang anak ko na walang ama,’” he said.

Menorca was able to persuade the officer not to kill him but it came with a price: he has to face a criminal charge of illegal possession of firearms.

“What was left for me to negotiate? So I said yes,” he said.

Menorca was arrested in Dasmariñas City on July 17 after allegedly threatening two construction workers with a hand grenade. He was freed on July 25 through INC lawyer Allen Blair Boy where he was subsequently brought to the INC compound in Quezon City.

Hours before the attempt on his life, Menorca and his wife were whisked away from their residence in Bulan, Sorsogon in a six-vehicle convoy after a church service on July 17. Officers from the Quezon City police were allegedly present during their abduction.

During the 17-hour travel from Sorsogon to Dasmarinas, the former minister said that he was repeatedly interrogated about a certain Antonio Ebangelista, a pseudonym of a blogger who revealed the alleged corruption inside the church’s ranks. Aside from the emotional turmoil he endured, Menorca sustained wounds from the handcuffs which cut his wrists.

“I asked them repeatedly to loosen the handcuffs because it hurt so much, my shoulders were about to fall off, my hands were bleeding. I kept on begging the police officers to even just remove my handcuffs, I’m not gonna fight them, they were all with guns.”

“I was begging and begging them for the life of my wife and my child. I just asked them, ‘Do whatever you want to me, just leave them alone.’ I asked them and begged them, whatever they want me to say, whatever they want me to admit, whether true or not, I will (admit it). They can shoot me if they want, they can kill me if they want, just leave my wife and my daughter alone. I asked where they were, they couldn’t give me anything, only trying to pacify me with the words saying ‘Okay lang sila,’” a sobbing Menorca said.

The officers even ridiculed him, joking that the convoy carrying his wife and daughter were intercepted by rebels.

Menorca claimed that he was detained by the members of the Sanggunian because he was being suspected to be one of the ministers who are critical of the church leadership.

“For three months we were there, for three months we were incarcerated. We were never free to go out even though they promised us, ‘Okay we can slowly introduce you to the outside world, slowly everything will be normal.’ I told them, ‘I don’t want my child growing up knowing that we are prisoners here’,” he said.

On October 21, Menorca and his family were “rescued” from an undisclosed house in Quezon City. In a video which was sent to INQUIRER.net on October 25, Menorca confirmed that they were kidnapped by the INC, saying that his statements in previous interviews were fed to him by the church leadership.

Menorca said that the order of the Supreme Court (SC) forcing INC to produce Menorca and his loved ones in court expedited his release.

The SC granted the petition of writs of amparo and habeas corpus filed by Menorca’s brother Anthony and Jungko Otsuka, the twin sister of the former minister’s wife, Jinky, on October 25.

This Week: Big News Involving the Iglesia Ni Cristo®

SC rules vs INC contractor wanted in Korea

The Supreme Court has thumbed down the motion of a Korean contractor of the Philippine Arena for a writ of amparo. The high court said Ja Hoon Ku, who is allegedly wanted in South Korea for stealing $200 million, did not substantiate his claim that his life was in danger. The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) had reportedly gotten the services of Ku in building the arena. PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER FILE/EDWIN BACASMAS

The Supreme Court has ruled that a Korean fugitive wanted for stealing $200-million from his company in Korea is not entitled to protection against government authorities running after him.
With a 13-0 vote, the high court ruled that Ja Hoon Ku, a contractor of the Iglesia Ni Cristo’s (INC) Philippine Arena, is not entitled to a writ of amparo.

Amparo is a rule of procedure that is anchored on one’s right to life, liberty and security. A writ of amparo is meant to force government authorities to disclose details concerning extrajudicial killing or enforced disappearance.
Earlier, Manila Regional Trial Court Judge Paulino Gallegos granted the writ of amparo sought by Ku. Then, on January 28, 2014, the court issued a temporary protection order entrusting Ku’s custody to the Philippine National Red Cross and ordered the Philippine National Police-Security and Protection Group (PNP-PSPG) to protect Ku and his immediate family... continue reading!

Albert Martinez, playing as Felix Manalo, FOUNDER of the Iglesia ni Cristo no longer in the cast of "Sugo"

LOCAL NEWS SAYS FELIX MANALO WAS THE "FOUNDER OF THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO" (and not Christ)!

And why the Iglesia Ni Cristo® Administration do not sue them for "lying"?

MANILA, Philippines - Albert Martinez (photo) has withdrawn from the cast of Felix Y. Manalo: The Last Messenger, the historical biopic of Felix Y. Manalo, founder of the Iglesia ni Kristo. Representatives from Viva Communications Inc., the producer of the film, have confirmed that Albert’s manager, Shirley Kuan, requested that Albert be allowed to withdraw from the film last March 9 so he could attend to and spend more time with his wife Liezl who, at that time, was confined in the hospital. Viva Communications Inc. immediately accepted the request out of compassion for Albert’s situation.

Changes in the cast following Albert’s withdrawal have yet to be confirmed.

-Philippines Star Online

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALBERT BACKS OUT – Albert Martinez is no longer in the cast of “Sugo,” the filmbio of Bishop Felix Manalo, founder of the Iglesia ni Cristo. He backed out for personal reasons.

This was confirmed by Albert’s manger, Shirley Kuan, who actually suggested the move, knowing how difficult the situation was.

These are trying times for Albert and his three children – Alyanna, Alfonso, Alyssa – as wife and mother Liezl recently died of cancer. More than ever, the Martinez family has to be for each other.

Of course, these are also tough times for Liezl’s parents, Bobby Vasquez and Amalia Fuentes, and the other members of the Muhlach clan. Aga and Niño are especially close to their Ate Liezl.

Albert was supposed to portray Bishop Manalo, with Dennis Trillo as the young Felix. Heard that Dennis will play both the young and adult bishop. Mrs. Manalo will be portrayed by Alice Dixson (adult) and Bela Padilla (young).

Iglesia ni Cristo has churches all over the Philippines and the world. Joel Lamangan directs the filmbio “Sugo.” It has a June playdate, the end of the Iglesia ni Cristo centennial.

Ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® raw ay isang "Home Grown" Filipino Religion

Isang dayuhang mamamahayag ng The Wallstreet Journal ang nakapansin sa mga nagtutulisang mga templo ng Iglesia Ni Cristo®.  At ayon sa kanya ang INC™ raw po ay isang "Home Grown Filipino Religion" o isang "Home Grown Church".

Ang pagkasulat pa nga niya eh "Iglesia ni Christo"

Ayon pa rin kay G. Ramy Inocencio, ang dayuhang mamamahayag, si Felix Manalo raw ay isang ex-Catholic na nakipagalyansa sa mga Protestante "then he made his own" church.

Nagtatag daw po ng sariling iglesia si Felix Manalo.  Ito ay hango sa paliwanag ng Tagapagsalita ng mga Manalo na si G. Edwil Zabala.

Iyan naman talaga ang pinapatunayan sa Securities and Exchange Commission ng kanilang Registration.  Na si Felix Y. Manalo ang NAGTATAG nito (PASUGO Agosto-Setyembre 1964, p. 5)

Mabilis daw ang paglago ng INC™ pero "largely at the expense of the Catholic faith".

Bagamat hindi naman ipinakita sa video, marahil ay itinanong ni G. Ramy Inocencio kung kulto ba ang Iglesia Ni Cristo®, na mariin namang itinanggi ng Tagapagsalita ng INC™ na sila raw ay HINDI KULTO ngunit "Christian Religion".

Ayon sa paliwanag ni Zabala, sila raw ay naniniwala na ang "LORD GOD" daw po ay "should be WORSHIPED" at kung ano raw ang turo ng "LORD JESUS CHRIST" at ng mga Apostol at ng "EARLIER SERVICE OF GOD that GOD must be WORSHIPED".

Totoo kayang si "LORD GOD" lang ba ang kanilang SINASAMBA?

Ayon sa Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, bilang 14 ay ganito:

"Christ should be highly honored and worshiped by members of the Church of Christ because this is the will of God (Phil.2:9-11)."

Ayon pala! Si CRISTO rin pala ay SINASAMBA ng mga kaanib ng Iglesia Ni Cristo®!

SINASAMBA sa kabila ng kanyang pagiging TAO LAMANG!

Napansin niyo ba ang BIBLE VERSE na pinagkuhanan? MULA SA FILIPOS!

Bakit kaya IWAS silang i-quote ang Verses 5-8?  [Basahin ang aking previous post na Iglesia Ni Cristo Lies and Deceit Part 2]

Heto't MAGUGULAT KAYO! Basahin natin ang VERSES 5-11 ng PHILIPPIANS 2

5 Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, 6 Who, though he [JESUS] was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.

7 Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, 8 he humbled himself,becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. 9 Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Kaya pala IPINAG-UUTOS sa Filipos na SAMBAHIN si JESUS ay sapagkat SIYA AY NASA ANYONG DIOS!

Kaya't LALABAS na ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO® ay LUMALABAG sa BIBLIA sapagkat DALAWA ang KANILANG SINASAMBA!

Isang LORD GOD at isang LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Isang DIOS at isang TAO LAMANG!

Saan ba ITINUTURO sa Biblia na DAPAT SUMAMBA sa DALAWA at sa ISANG TAO LAMANG!?!

Sa paksa ng panayam ni G. Inocencio, LUMALABAS na KULTO  nga ang samahang Iglesia Ni Cristo®! Heto ang mga nadiskubre ng mamamahayag!

• Highly controlled church
• Pinagbawalan ang mga journalists and were "politley" declined to film inside their temple
• Bawal ikasala sa hindi kaanib ng Iglesia Ni Cristo®
• Binibisita ang bawat kaanib na "nanlalamig"

Paliwanag pa ng Tagapagsalita ng INC™ [Video Time 04:11 - 04:15], ang kanilang mga gawain daw ay siyang GINAWA ng UNANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO?

Ang UNANG IGLESIA ba ay INC™? O mga KATOLIKO?

PASUGO Hunyo 1940, p. 27:

"Papaano ang pag-aalaga at pag-iingat sa pananampalataya? Wala tayong dapat gawin kundi manatili sa mga aral ng Dios na ating napag-aralan. Ito ang ginawa ng unang Iglesia. Sila'y nanatiling matibay sa aral ng mga Apostol. Ganito rin ang dapat nating gawin."

Ang GINAWA raw ng UNANG IGLESIA ay siyang DAPAT gawin ng mga Iglesia Ni Cristo® 1914.

PASUGO Mayo 1968, p. 7:

“Ang tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo ay iisa lamang, ito ang Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo. Kung mayroon mang nagsisibangon ngayong mga Iglesia at sasabihing sila man ay INK rin ang mga ito ay hindi tunay kundi huwad lamang!"

Ang TUNAY na IGLESIA raw ay HINDI DALAWA kundi IISA. Kaya't kung ang UNANG IGLESIA ay BUHAY pa rin hanggang ngayon eh PEKE ng PANGALAWANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO!

PASUGO Abril 1966, p. 46:

“Ang Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo."

At kung sasabihin man nilang NATALIKOD na GANAP ang UNANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO, baka naman magulat sila sa OPISYAL na PAHAYAG ng kanilang magasing PASUGO

PASUGO, Abril 1966, p. 46:

“Ang totoo hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay patuloy na ginagawa ni Satanas ang pagpapasok ng mga maling aral sa Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula'y siyang Iglesia ni Cristo. Sadyang matalino at tuso ang diablo. Hindi niya ginawang biglaan ang pagtalikod sa Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo noong unang siglo."

Hanggang sa KASALUKUYAN (1966) pa pala ay TUNAY pa ring IGLESIA NI CRISTO ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA mula pa noong UNANG SIGLO!

Kaya't TAMA ang KINALABASAN ng panayam ni G. Inocencio sapagkat ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® ay isang kulto lamang na umusbong sa Pilipinas noong 1914 at siyan'g Iglesiang kinikilala lamang ng mga kaanib na PROUDLY PINOY MADE!

Iglesiang PEKE, KULTO at PINOY-MADE!

Balitang Iglesia Ni Cristo Church...

"The Volvo sped across a grassy lawn and crashed into the Iglesia Ni Cristo church." -Central Kitsap Reporter

Nakakatawa, "Iglesia" na, "church" pa. Mas matatawa kayo kapag isinalin sa Ingles ang "Iglesia Ni Cristo".  Magiging ganito: "The Volvo sped across a grassy lawn and crashed into the Church of Christ church..."

Bakit kaya ganon? Dapat magsiyasat!

Sapagkat ang "Iglesia Ni Cristo" ay REGISTERED TRADEMARK lamang po.   Katulad po yan ng Jollibee®, MacDonald's®, KFC®, San Miguel®, Bench™. Kaya't kahit  nasusulat sa Ingles ang balita, TAGALOG pa rin po ang pagpapakilala sa Iglesiag TATAG ni Manalo-- ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® o kilala rin sa daglat na INC™

"Under the supervision of the Christian Family Organizations Committee led by Brother Angelo V. Manalo, the Unity Games has grown to become the biggest multi-sport and multi-district sports league of the Iglesia Ni Cristo." -SunStar

Ilang ulit ba nating sinasabi sa mga kaanib ng INC™ na ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® ay PAG-AARI  ng mga MANALO!

Hindi pa ba sapat ang mga PALATANDAAN na obvious na obvious na pinakaita ng kanilang mga bayarang MINISTRO?

Halimbawa:

1.  Ayon sa kanilang rehistro sa SEC, si FELIX MANALO po ang FOUNDER at hindi si Cristo.  Sinang-ayunan po ito ng kanilang opisyal na magasing PASUGO (Agosto-Setyembre 1964, p. 5). Ito ang dahilan kung bakit paulit-ulit na isinusulat ng mga mamamahayag na si Felix Manalo ang nagtatag ng INC™ at hindi si Cristo!
2. Ayon sa kasaysayan ng Iglesia Ni Cristo® si FELIX YSAGUN MANALO po ang kauna-unahang EXECUTIVE MINISTER ng kanyang Iglesia.  Pagkamatay ni FYM noong April 12, 1963 dahil sa sakit sa bituka, si ERAÑO de GUZMAN MANALO po ang naging ministrong TAGAPAGMANA o ang pangalawang EXECUTIVE MINISTER.  Noong namatay si EGM noong August 31, 2009, naging ministrong TAGAPAGMANA o ang pangatlong EXECUTIVE MINISTER si EDUARDO VILLANUEVA MANALO.  Ngayon tanging si ANGELO VENTURA MANALO ang susuunod na ministrong TAGAPAGMANA at magiging ika-apat na EXECUTIVE MINISTER ng INC™.
3. Ang kanilang charitable institution ay nakapangalan kay FELIX Y. MANALO FOUNDATION.
4. Ang NEW ERA UNIVERSITY ay binaliktad na pangalan ni ERA-ÑO!
5. Ang EVM sa EVangelical Mission nila at EVM sa Exellence in Visual Media ay acronym ng pangalan ni Eduardo V. Manalo!
6. Ang CIUDAD DE VICTORIA ay Español ng "City of Winner" o sa Tagalog na "LUNGSOD NG MANALO"!

Anong sinabi ng yumaong Eraño sa mga nagnanais na MAGHARI sa kanilang INC™?

“Kayo ang maghahari sa iglesia? Hindi! TAMAAN KAYO NG KIDLAT AT KULOG bago mangyari iyan." (Basahin ang kabuuan dito)

Bakit sinabi ng yumaong Eraño 'yan? 

Sapagkat ito'y PINAGHIRAPANG ITATAG ng kanyang amang si FELIX Y. MANALO!

Walang kaduda-duda na ang Iglesia Ni Cristo® o INC™ ay PAG-AARI ng mga MANLO!

MAGSURI! Kayo'y makakalaya mula sa kulto ni Manalo!

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...

Multi-Million Dollar Church buying properties but withouth official teachings in the Internet

News Source: CoStar News:

Miracle Temple Church of God in Christ Sells Industrial Building for $4.3M
Iglesia Ni Cristo Purchases New Seattle HQ

Iglesia Ni Cristo purchased the industrial property located at 7100 42nd St. S in Seattle, WA for $4.3 million, or about $176 per square foot. The building was used by Miracle Temple Church of God in Christ for religious and community events for more than ten years.

The 24,472-square-foot property was constructed in 1968. The site was reported to have oil contamination issues, which lead to a lengthy negotiation process, but it turns out the issue had been resolved by the previous owner and was not reflected on record.

Iglesia Ni Cristo plans to renovate the space; they are currently waiting on the permits from the county. The space will serve as its new headquarters location for the Washington region.

The Sect's 100th Anniversary and Politicians trying to win their hearts

Philippine Daily Inquirer says the INC Church of Manalo is a SECT.  Meanwhile QC Politicians are trying to win the hearts of Manalo's INC Church members hoping they would be endorsed by INC's little pope Eduardo for the next elections.-CD2000

"...Meanwhile, two other lawmakers have sought the designation of an Iglesia ni Cristo lane in the country’s international airports in anticipation of a large number of church members who will be flying in from all over the world to attend the sect’s 100th anniversary celebration in 2014.

Politicians' courting the Church of Manalo

An INC building in San Francisco clearly shows it's masonic logo and it's Filipino registration Trademark.

[News clipings from INQUIRER: Bigtime perks sought for ‘Iglesia’ centennial]

Two Philippine politicians are urging the Aquino government for granting special attention to the upcoming Centennial celebration of a church founded by Felix Manalo in the Philippines in 1914.

Manalo's church which is called the "Iglesia ni Cristo" was officially registered under the Philippine government in July 27, 1914 thus making the year 2014 A.D. as their centennial anniversary.

The INC is also claiming to be the original church founded by Christ although they too believe that the Catholic Church which was founded by Christ in 33 A.D. had totally apostatized. Through Felix Manalo they believed Christ's church was restored.

The name 'Iglesia ni Cristo' (Church of Christ in English) was taken from Romas 16:16.

Manalo considers himself as God's "Last Messenger" (or an angel) which he never preached until in 1922 A.D. when there was an imminent schism -- thus ensuring total control over his founded church.

Local News: Facts about the Iglesia ni Cristo

Both local and international news says the Iglesia ni Cristo was founded by FELIX MANALO (not by Christ) and today they are just ±3 million adherents only!
