Deception is Not a Way of God and His Church

 

Pope Francis Meets a member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo® in Rome... wait?

Members of Manalo's Iglesia Ni Cristo® Church waving their tri-color band flag (from In Defense of the Church blog)

Pope Francis met a man wearing a sash of TRI-COLOR band similar to what the Iglesia Ni Cristo®  (INC™) symbol are using -- this was in the City of Rome, Italy... but is he a member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo® of Manalo?

NO!

This man IS NOT a member of Manalo's Iglesia Ni Cristo® Church.  He is Mayor Ignazio Marino of Rome (Italy). He met Pope Francis during the celebration of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception around the Eternal City of Rome.

The Red-White-Green color he's wearing is Italy's emblem which the Iglesia Ni Cristo® Church copied with the desires of conquering the Eternal City where the seat of Catholicism is located. For them (INC™) believed that the Catholic Church is the REAL CHURCH OF CHRIST but had apostatized after the death of the last apostle.

The Iglesia Ni Cristo® Church is considered by many in the Philippines as a cult and no matter how they claim to be the "true" church but they will always be the FAKE CHURCH founded by a FAKE MESSENGER-- FELIX Y. MANALO!

Was INC 1914 aware that their LOGO was taken from FREEMASONRY…? Was it made on purpose or just truly coincidence…? – John D. Salvator

By Bro. John D. Salvador [Thanks to The Splendor of the Church blog]

Let us 1st examine the background of the founder who is Felix Manalo. Felix Y. Manalo was born in Barrio Calzada, Tipas, Taguig, Philippines on May 10, 1886. He was raised in the Catholic faith by his parents, Mariano Ysagun and Bonifacia Manalo.

YES Manalo is a CATHOLIC, raised a Catholic and Baptized a Catholic. It was sometime after his mother’s death that he decided on his mother’s name over his father’s name.

In his teenage years, Manalo became dissatisfied with Roman Catholic theology. According to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, the establishment of the Philippine Independent Church or the Aglipayan Church was his major turning point but Manalo remained uninterested since its doctrines were mainly Catholic.

In 1904, he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, entered the Methodist seminary, and became a pastor for a while.

He also sought through various denominations, including the Presbyterian Church, Christian Mission, and finally Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1911.

Manalo left the Adventist church in 1913, and associated himself with Atheist and Agnostic peers.

As you can see it very clearly, MANALO was never a bearer of the Holy Spirit. Because if he was a real Prophet, then he must rely on himself and to the Guidance and help of the Holy Spirit not getting any IDEAS from any Religion he is joining.

John 16:13

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.”

Obviously, Manalo is having a hard time looking for the TRUTH even though the truth is already knocking on his face and abandon the real faith in the very Beginning. What happened, after joining a lot of different religion, he end up making his own which now aiming to destroy the real Church of Christ which is the Catholic Church. That’s the link now to Freemasonry. Just like Freemasonry, they contradict to all Doctrine of the true Church which is the bearer of the True Gospel. They don’t even follow any Bible Translation. They only believe on what the PASUGO is telling them which is created none other than by a MAN Felix and his succeeding Ministers.

Historically, one of Masonry’s primary objectives has been the destruction of the Catholic Church; this is especially true of Freemasonry as it has existed in certain European countries. It appears like INC 1914 is a small branch with the same motive just like Freemasonry. The New Catholic Encyclopedia states, “Freemasonry displays all the elements of religion, and as such it becomes a rival to the religion of the Gospel. It includes temples and altars, prayers, a moral code, worship, vestments, feast days, the promise of reward or punishment in the afterlife, a hierarchy, and initiation and burial rites.”

Now let’s see the real meaning of Freemasonry; Freemasonry is “secret” organizations appear to be harmless fellowship gatherings. Many of them appear to promote belief in god. However, upon closer examination, we find that the only belief requirement is not that one must believe in the True and Living God, but rather, that one must believe in the existence of a “Supreme Being”, which includes the “god” of Islam, Hinduism, or any other world religion. The unbiblical and anti-Christian beliefs and practices of this organization are partially hidden beneath an outward appearance of a supposed compatibility with the Christian faith.

No wonder a member of INC 1914 is allowed to join Freemasonry. Just like during the painting of INC’s centennial image for Felix; the painter was a member of Freemasonry shown evidence on the ring he is wearing. A picture really paints a thousand words. While we Catholics are prohibited by the Church to join Freemasonry for them it is allowed. In fact the Church has imposed the penalty of excommunication on Catholics who become Freemasons. The penalty of excommunication for joining the Masonic Lodge was explicit in the 1917 code of canon law (canon 2335), and it is implicit in the 1983 code (canon 1374).

Now let us proceed to the real symbolic meaning of INC 1914 and how it coincides with MASONIC symbols.

Let’s start with the most visible one.

1. The COMPASS

For MASON it means “to circumscribe and keep us within bounds with all mankind”. To keep reachable by mankind is just the show-up meaning and what we do not know was the motives. If you want to conquer the whole world then it is the best Idea to be in reachable by all mankind. Imagine if all the people will join this organization then they could conquer the whole world.

HAYS RITUAL, 1860-1863. First definitive departure from the Francken Ritual. Based upon the Ritual of Albert Pike. One quotation conveys the spirit of the new emphasis:

“Here we see John the Baptist. The day of truth has come at last; all doubts will now be removed; from East to West, one God and one fraternity shall RULE the world. Freemasonry — that is to say. Truth — is no longer the happy lot of one Nation, of one Sect; it is now the lot of every man on earth who desires to know and to practice it; it calls to every man and is, at all times, ready to impart its light to all.

2. The Lamb that resting on the top of the BOOK of Seven seals. A 17th degree, Knights of the EAST and WEST Symbol. The lamb is a symbol of obedience, to obey all the organization’s commandments.

Seven Seals- Then follows the symbolism of the Seven Seals, which the Candidate opens one by one and takes from each some particular article:

A Bow and quiver, with arrows.

A Sword.

A balance.

A skull.

A cloth stained with blood.

A vase or pot of incense.

A vase with seven trumpets.

The Sealed Book in the 17° and 18° is not the Holy Bible, which is never sealed on any Masonic altar, They use the “Sealed Book” as the “Book of Life” in these degrees as a symbol to represent the history of man’s existence on earth with the significant eras being recorded in its successive chapters. The mysteries of human behavior lie hidden in its pages.

3. The INVERTED Triangle;

For the Upright Triangle, from time immemorial the Equilateral Triangle has been preeminently the symbol for Deity being the culmination of mind, body and spirit, or Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (TRINITY). For the Triangle is the primary figure from which all others are built up and the Equilateral Triangle, being wholly symmetrical, is the one perfect Triangle and thus clearly becomes the symbol for that Perfect Being in which all things find their beginning This Symbol is so completely appropriated to the purpose of a symbol for Deity and Perfection that to here treat of its various other, and decidedly minor, symbolic significances would but obscure its pre-eminent symbolic meaning. The triangle is an ancient symbol of Deity or the divine union.

Now how about the INVERTED Triangle a complete opposite? It sometime used as a Thaumaturgic Triangle for some sorcery like used for magical purposes such as spell casting or demon summing. Sometimes used as SATANIC symbols.

As some says Inverted triangle is the “Alchemical/Magical symbol” for WATER, symbolizing downward flow. The downward pointing triangle is an ancient symbol of femininity, being a representation of female genitalia. “One of the four alchemical elements, water has the properties cold and moist, and symbolizes intuition, the unconscious mind, and the enclosing forces of the womb.”

4. SCALE

For MASONS it is dealing with equality and balance. It is a perfect visual measure PERFECT/Equilibrium state. But it was not held by a Blind woman meaning it is an artificial Justice system meaning all is permissible and allowed even if the intent is immoral.

A Royal Arch Mason would be obligated to hire a Companion Mason, even for sensitive or skilled professions, even if he didn’t have nearly the qualifications required.

Additionally, though not mentioned in the oaths, many time Masons get a “fairer” trial in courts where a Masonic judge presides. A sizable majority of judges are Masons, and many attorneys are Masons as well. If a Mason appears in court against a non-Mason, all he has to do is give any number of obscure gestures or words to the judge, and the judge will be obligated to rule in his favor.

Just like during election, INC 1914 members are not allowed to vote for themselves. They are manipulated by their Ministers to whom they should cast their votes. These are just some of the links of INC 1914 to Freemasonry. There are a lot more but the members are already blinded and brain washed, even if the truth is knocking on their faces.

Do you still think the INC 1914 LOGO and symbols are just a coincidence out of Ignorance?No, it is very clear and unblemished on how the symbol is look like, exactly the same, a perfect match.

Hindi ba't ang Iglesia ay 'Church'? Bakit may 'Iglesia' na, may 'Church' pah?

Ang pagpapakilala ng mga kaanib ng Iglesia ni Cristo^® o INC^®

"...This “record-breaking man-made marvel” started out as a plenary hall for the INC church..." -from Tempo

INC na, church pa?!!  Tama ba 'yon?

Madalas nating mababasa sa mga pahayagan ang mga katagang "Iglesia ni Cristo Church" o kaya'y "INC Church".

Kapag i-translate natin sa wikang Ingles ay ganito ang lalabas:

The "Church of Christ Church"...

Hindi ba't redundant o paulit-ulit at masagwang pakinggan? 

Sa totoong rules of grammar, hindi po tama ang ulit-ulitin ang isang salita sa pangungusap kaya't mainam na gamitan ito ng pronoun o panghalip upang mas tumama sa gramatika at mas magandang pakinggan.

Ngunit ang "Iglesia ni Cristo Church" ba o "INC Church" ba ay grammatically wrong?  May pagkakamali ba ang journalist na nag-report nito? Hindi ba siya sumusunod sa grammatical rules para mas may kabuluhan at katotohanan ang kanyang inuulat?

Upang maliwanagan po tayo ng lubusan, ang salitang "Iglesia ni Cristo" o "INC" kung daglatin ay isang Registered Trademark. Hindi po ito pwedeng bawasan at hindi po pwedeng dagdagan. Kailangan po siyang isulat ayon sa REHISTRO nito sa Securities and Exchange Commission.

Katulad lamang po ito ng mga produktong SAN MIGUEL BEER, ANDOKS, JOLLIBEE, MACDONALDS etc.  Hindi po pwedeng baguhin ayon sa pagkakasulat nito sa REGISTRATIONS nila.

Kunin nating halimbawa ang kilalang-kilala sa Pilipinas: Ang "San Miguel" Beer.

Kapag kayo po ay dumako sa ibang bansa, sa Amerika man o Europa, SAN MIGUEL pa rin po ang TATAK nito.  Hindi po siya papalitan sa English na "SAINT MICHAEL" beer.  Kapag binago, HINDI na ito ang kilalang serbesa sa Pilipinas.

Kaya't kahit sa malayo pa lang, once na mabasa natin ang REGISTERED TRADEMARK na SAN MIGUEL ay sigurado tayong ito ay ang paborito nating beer na nabibili sa Pilipinas at ngayon ay tumawid na sa ibang bansa.

Exported na ang produktong SAN MIGUEL BEER.

Balikan ko ang "Iglesia ni Cristo", parang ganon na ganon din po siya.

Kahit  NAKATAWID na ito sa USA, Europe at sa iba't ibang bansa, MANANATILI po siyang TAGALOG sa pangalang "IGLESIA NI CRISTO" sapagkat ito ang kanyang REGISTERED TRADEMARK.

Pansinin niyo ang mga sumusunod na artikulong NASUSULAT sa English, 'Iglesia ni Cristo' pa rin ang pagkakabanggit sa iglesia ni Manalo at hindi "Church of Christ'.

Sila na rin ang MISMONG nagpapatunay ng ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO ay isang TRADEMARK, sa kanilang English articles ay nanatiling Tagalog ang katagang 'Iglesia ni Cristo'.

[Emphasis and Italics are mine]

The Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) is a Christian religion whose primary purpose is to worship the Almighty God based on His teachings as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ and as recorded in the Bible. The Church of Christ is a church for every one who will heed the call of God and embrace its faith — regardless of his or her nationality, cultural background, social standing, economic status, and educational attainment.

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

The Iglesia ni Cristo is not a denomination or sect. It is neither affiliated to any federation of religious bodies nor itself an assembly of smaller religious organizations. The Iglesia ni Cristo is Christ’s one true Church today.

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

Today, the membership of the Iglesia ni Cristo comprises at least 110 nationalities. It maintains about 104 ecclesiastical districts in the Philippines and in 100 more countries and territories in the six inhabited continents of the world.

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

Bible as Basis of Faith

The Iglesia ni Cristo also regards the Holy Scriptures as the sole basis of its faith and practice. Some of its fundamental scriptural teachings are as follows...

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

A CHURCH THAT SHARES

The Iglesia ni Cristo endeavors to share the gospel of salvation written in the Bible to as many people as possible, in fulfillment of Christ's vision as stated in Mark 16:15-16 “...Go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved...” (New King James Version).

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

Morality and Holiness

The Iglesia ni Cristo strives to maintain a high moral standard. It regards the teaching of the Bible as a way of life. It promotes purity of life among its members by means of instructions, reminders, and, when necessary, corrective or disciplinary measures.

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

Brotherhood and Equality of Members

The Iglesia ni Cristo promotes Christian brotherly love. All members are deemed equal in the sight of God (Gal 3:26, 28). Gender, racial, social, educational, and economic discriminations are strongly discouraged.

Sa kabuuan, ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO po o ang INC ay isang REGISTERED TRADEMARK na nagkukunyaring "iglesia". Ito po ay itinatag ni FELIX MANALO noong July 27, 1914-- dahilan kung bakit sa July 27, 2014 Anno Domini (Catholic Gregorian Calendar na ginagamit din ng mga INC) ay magdaraos ng magarbong pagdiriwang sa pinakamalaking Arena sa buong mundo sa kasalukuyang panahon.

Bagamat halos di pa sila umabot sa 4 na milyon ngunit sa kanilang sapilitang abuluyan ay nakapagpapatayo at nakabibili ang mga Manalo ng mga gusali sapagkat kung may YAYAMAN, hindi ang mga kaanib ng INC kundi ang pamilyang MANALO sapagkat SA KANILA po ang REGISTERED TRADE MARK na IGLESIA NI CRISTO^® tulad ng San Miguel na pag-aari po ni Danding Conjuanco.

Dito na po tayo sa tunay na Iglesia na hindi po Registered Trademark-- ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA o the CATHOLIC CHURCH. Pinatutunayan ito ng kanilang PASUGO! Sa ano mang lenguwahe ay maaari po siyang i-translate ng walang agam-agam ng pagkakamali.. sapagkat ito ay TATAG NI CRISTO at hindi ng mga pekeng sugo o ministro.

PASUGO, Abril 1966, p. 46:

“Ang totoo hanggang sa kasalukuyan [ibig sabihin hanggang ngayon ay HINDI PA NATATALIKOD ang tunay na Igleisa ni Cristo-- ang Iglesia Katolika] 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."

Tatag pala ni Cristo ang Iglesia Katolika noon pang unang siglo. Kaya pala HANGGANG SA KASALUKUYANG PANAHON ay DI PA NATATALIKOD eh naisulat ang artikulong ito noong 1966.  Akala ko eh simula ng itatag ni Felix Manalo ang INC^® noong 1914 ay 'NAWALA NA' ang tunay na Iglesia kundi ang INC^® na?

PASUGO Agosto 1971, p.22:

“Tinitindigan namin na ang Iglesiang itinatag ni Cristo ay talagang iisa lamang. Nang magkaroon ng INK sa Pilipinas ay wala na ang Iglesia ni Cristo sa Jerusalem.”

Ang GULO talaga ng mga inaralan ng PEKENG SUGO!

Eh kung HANGGANG SA KASALUKUYAN ay di pa natatalikod ang TUNAY na IGLESIA, ano ngayon ang kalagayan ng INC^® o Iglesia ni Cristo^® na lumitaw sa Pilipinas noong 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!"

Bakit HUWAD ang tawag nila sa mga NAGSUSULPUTANG mga iglesia rin daw? Kailan at sino ba kasi ang NAGTATAG ng Iglesia ni Cristo^® na lumitaw sa Pilipinas?

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."

Bakit nga ba PEKE o HUWAD ang INC^® o Iglesia ni Cristo^® na lumitaw sa Pilipinas noong 1914?

PASUGO Nobyembre 1940, p. 23:

“Iisa lamang ang tanging makapagtatayo ng Iglesiang magiging dapat sa Dios. Kung sino? -- Ang ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo lamang! Sinumang tao-- maging marunong o mangmang-- ay walang karapatang magtayo..."

Eh kung si CRISTO LAMANG pala ang may karapatang MAGTAYO ng KANYANG IGLESIA at ang KANYANG IGLESIA ay HANGGANG SA KASALUKUYAN ay nariyan pa rin, eh ano pang hinihintay niyo mga kababayan?

Lisanin niyo na po ang NAGPAPANGGAP na INC^® o Iglesia ni Cristo^® at doon na po tayo sa TUNAY, kahit na pinapasukan ni Satanas ng maling aral, ayon sa kanila, ngunit GARANTISADO po tayong HINDI mananaig ang kadiliman sapagkat si CRISTO ang MAY-ARI nito at IPINANGAKO niyang "HINDI MANANAIG ANG KAPANGYARIHAN NG HADES' (Mt. 16:16-18) sa kanyang Iglesia-- ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA!

'YAN po ang KATOTOHANAN!

Purihin ang Ama
Purihin ang Anak
Purihin ang Espiritu Santo
Purihin ang Iisang Dios!
Banal na Sangtatlo, magkapailanman!

Ang INC (Iglesia ni Cristo) ba at ang COC (Church of Christ) ay pareho at iisa?

Buong ipinagmamalaking sinasabi ng mga kaanib ng IGLESIA NI MANALO na ang 'Iglesia ni Cristo' (INC) raw ay pareho sa 'Church of Christ' (COC).  Kung papansinin niyo sa mga forums at Facebook group accounts na gawa ng mga kaanib ng IGLESIA NI MANALO ay puro INC ang pagpapakilala nila at hindi COC.  Katulad na lamang ng halimbawang pagpapakilala nila sa ibaba.

Sa Pilipinas, kilalang-kilala ang INC bilang iglesiang tatag ni Felix Manalo.  Mapa-English man ang mga artikulo o balita'y INC pa rin ang pagkakakilanlan sa grupong tatag ni Felix Manalo at HINDI COC.

Anonymous Philippines to INC (Iglesia ni Cristo)

Certainly the Catholic CHURCH is founded by Christ! Historically the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) Church is founded by Felix Manalo!

Comments from Monks Hobbit Blog "Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) logo: Christian or Masonic symbol?

Ivan (INC of Manalo member) said:

The nerve you have, Real29!!! LOL… You claim that the Roman Catholic Church is the same CHURCH established by Christ! FYI, your TRINITY DOCTRINE alone proves it OTHERWISE.

One of the Government Approved Catholic churches in the Middle East. The Catholic Church in Doha, Qatar is always full of worshipers on Fridays from different countries. Services are done as early as 5:00 AM until 8:00 PM. and traffic has to be anticipated. Qatar has Diplomatic Ties with the Vatican hence Catholics enjoy this unique privilege of worshiping God. Catholic members makes up the entire Christian population in the Middle East particularly in Qatar.  Other churches recognized by the Islamic government of Qatar are the Anglican Church and the Orthodox churches.  Most protestant churches including the Iglesia ni  Cristo Church of Manalo is  not recognized as legitimate for it was historically founded by a man in the Philippines (1914) claiming to be the "Last Prophet/Messenger"  For Islam, the "last prophet" was no other than their Prophet Muhammad.

haha ivan, INC also claimed that,

PASUGO Abril 1966, p. 46: “Ang Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo. [The Catholic Church which from the beginning was the Church of Christ.]”

[Let me add: 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."]

Yes Ivan it is still the same Church which Jesus built with a promise

30 A.D., The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ.

Matthew 16:18, John 19:34, Acts 2:1-4, 1Timothy 3:15

“I am with you ALL days, even until the end of the world.” (without gap)

Matthew 28:20

“…and the gates of hell shall NOT prevail against it.”

Matthew 16:18

“…and I will ask the Father and He will give you another Advocate to dwell with you forever, the Spirit of Truth…”

John 14:16-17

“I will not leave you orphans.”

John 14:18

We know by its Antiquity. The Catholic Church is the only Christian Church which can trace its origins back for almost 2000 years. All other Christian denominations can only go back a few hundred years at most for their origins. Here are the founders and dates of some of the mainline Churches.

* 1521, Thomas Munser, a Catholic priest, started Anabaptists in the same year that Luther broke away. Protestantism started splitting within itself immediately. By 1600 there were 100 splits. By 1900 there were 1000, and today there are over 36,400. Where is the One Fold (John 10:16)?

* 1525, Mennonites started by Grebel, Mantz, and Blaurock in Switzerland.

* Pentecostal Gospel, and other splinter Pentecostal groups, are some of the hundreds of new sects founded by mere men in the 20th century.

***1914, Felix Manalo started Iglesia ni Cristo. What makes INC different from others?

What makes it worst it that:

1- PASUGO Enero 1964, p. 6:

“Sino ang tunay na nagtayo ng Iglesia ni Cristo na lumitaw sa Pilipinas noong 1914? Hindi ang kapatid na si Manalo kundi ang Dios at si Cristo.”

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.”

PASUGO Enero 1964, p. 6:- “It is Christ and God who founded INC”

PASUGO Agosto-Setyembre 1964, p. 5- “It is brother F.Manalo who founded the INC”

Ivan, it is right to claim that the Catholic Church is the true Church because it been there for 20 centuries still standing against it’s false accusers and it has already thousands of martyrs who really followed Jesus until death (Luke 9:23). Ivan, I never heard INC was so humble that he let himself tortured or killed for the sake of their faith. Ivan, be sure you are at the true church “THE CATHOLIC CHURCH”

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”

John 15:18-19

Iglesia ni Cristo Logo: Religious or Business Trademark?

The  INC is a Corporation disguising as a "religion". This news appeared in many Business related news!

12 Filipino Firms Seek International Trademark Protection Via Madrid

Philippines — The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) received 12 international applications on Tuesday, July 25, marking the first day of entry into force of the Madrid Protocol in the Philippines bringing a total of of 82 international registrations by Filipino trademark owners.

The Madrid Protocol designated a total of 82 Contracting Parties and consequently extending trademark protection of the involved brands to 160 countries worldwide.

Ten of the applicants originate from the buzzing City of Cebu, namely: Profood International Corporation (Philippine Brand Dried Mangoes and Profood Cebu Dried Mangoes), International Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Efficascent Oil, Omega Painkiller Liniment, Gastripac, Bioderm, and Dr. S. Wong’s Sulfur Soap), Magicmelt Foods, Inc. (Magic Melt), Arden Siarot (Arden), and Murillo’s Export International, Inc. (Murillo).

The two applicants from Manila are international fashion designer Robert Tomas (Tomas) and religious group Iglesia Ni Cristo (Iglesia Ni Cristo seal).

Will you allow yourselves to be deceived by a church called the "Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ)"?

Published on the SOLEMNITY FEAST of STS. PETER and PAUL, two pillars of the CHURCH! - CD2000


Christ's Church should never be tricky. But the INC makes it more complicated to you.  Let us simplify it!

When Felix Manalo founded his Church he REGISTERED it and named it the "Iglesia ni Kristo" (INK.)

 Then sometime later it was RENAMED the "Iglesia ni Cristo" (INC) -- that is what we read in all their houses of deception all throughout the Philippine archipelago.

And since Manalo's Church is now present in many countries (through massive Overseas Filipino Workers), the INC or INK of Manalo  introduced his church AIDED with the international language English-- the "IGLESIA NI CRISTO (Church of Christ)"(now with two names-- one in its original registration name and in English).

...so as not to CONFUSE Manalo's "Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo)" from many other "Church(es) of Christ" founded by other Protestants in English speaking countries

Just to make sure that the "Church of Christ" is what F. Manalo founded in the Philippines in 1914, their unexplained LOGO will serve as its GUIDING LIGHT.

And just in case you wanted to know who their friends are? They have secret code known by this tri-color (copied Italian Flag) SYMBOL!

And when they're dead, they are also identified with those magical and mysterious, unbiblical (copied Italian Flag) TRI-COLORS

Maybe the sepulturero was confused with the colors-- it appears now to be of FRANCE FLAG!

or their graves were MARKED with the accronym I.N.C. or simply INC.

So that when the CHURCH is introduced with other (unregistered) names, the CHURCH would cease to be the Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo) according to their understanding.

• The Church
• The Catholic Church
• Universal Church
• Universal Church of Jesus Christ
• Universal Church of Christ
• Christ's Church
• Apostolic Church
• Church of the Lord
• Church of God
• Church of the Living God
• Church of the Savior
• Church of the Messiah
• etc... etc.

The name of the CHURCH should be EXACTLY as how it was REGISTERED by Felix Manalo -- the IGLESIA NI CRISTO (Church of Christ)! Period!

But think about this:  How would you register the CHURCH of Christ when it was founded before every existing government on earth came to be?

The CHURCH is authentically CHRIST's.  It is HISTORICAL yet NOT REGISTERED in any existing government today.  That's because when  the FAITH spread rapidly and the CHURCH grew bigger and became UNIVERSAL the same members of the CHURCH formed GOVERNMENTS, COUNTRIES, KINGDOMS, EMPIRES. So how could the CHURCH be registered when IT EXISTED FIRST before them?

"To be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant" says Cardinal Newman, a Catholic Convert from protestantism.

That's the very reason why Protestants including the INC of Manalo DO NOT want to talk history by all honesty.  If they would, they'd carefully choose those dark history of the Church and IGNORE the rest of it.  They couldn't even talk about HOW THE BIBLE came to be.

Whether we name the CHURCH as

• The Church
• The Catholic Church
• Universal Church
• Universal Church of Jesus Christ
• Universal Church of Christ
• Christ's Church
• Church of Christ
• Apostolic Church
• Church of the Lord
• Church of God
• Church of the Living God
• Church of the Savior
• Church of the Messiah
• etc... etc.

It's the SAME CHURCH -- ONE, HOLY CATHOLIC, APOSTOLIC CHURCH which JESUS founded upon the ROCK of ST. PETER (of which the Church celebrates their solemnity with St. PAUL today -- June 29).
 
Having said that I am perfectly sure just as the sun rises from the east and sets in the west, members of the INC Church of Manalo  would say "the name was taken from Romans 16:16" (and (only) in Lamsa Acts 20:28)....

English: "...greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you."
Tagalog: "... magbatian kayo sa banal na halik. Lahat ng mga iglesia ni Cristo ay bumabati sa inyo."

They would boast: "See our church name is there in the Bible"?

Upon CLOSE SCRUTINY, the letter of St. Paul to Christians in ROME (not in Diliman) clearly says that "ALL THE CHURCH OF CHRIST" were SENDING their GREETINGS to the CHURCH of ROME."

ROMANS 16:16 does not talk about the INC of Manalo but it talks about the CHURCH of ROME  "all the churches of Christ" sending their greetings to HER.

Manalo's Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) in my memory NEVER HAD SENT any greetings to ROME!

In fact, they wanted to CONQUER the eternal CITY for the MANALOS!

Published in their official magazine called Pasugo, ERAÑO's faked photo at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican shows their intent!

Faked photo of the late Eraño Manalo at the Vatican, son of INC's founder with the TRI-COLOR (copied Italian Flag) pin on his barong.

That TRUTH in Romans 16:16 is the proof that the Vatican City State where the SUCCESSOR of PETER resides has DIPLOMATIC TIES with every government and churches belonging to Christ in the world!

Wikipedia

So if "ALL THE CHURCHES of CHRIST" are supposed to SEND their greetings to the CHURCH of ROME, why is it that the "Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo)" in the Philippines DOES NOT send any greetings to the CHURCH of ROME? Just think about it!

See how different peoples, races, and language flock to ROME not in (ka)Diliman!

And kings, presidents, other christians and non-Christian recognize that OFFICE of the Successor of Peter and the CENTER of CHRISTIAN UNITY-- the eternal city of ROME!

And because the CHURCH pre-dated their governments, world leaders were humbled enough to ADMIT that FACT and that without the CHURCH civilization of the western World couldn't be possible.  Vatican City State now considered the smallest state-- yet a sovereign country-- a FACT recognized by the world-- the Pope governing 1.2 billion believers!

 ROMANS 16:16 TALKS about the CATHOLIC CHURCH in ROME, which is GREETED by all the CHURCHES of CHRIST around the world.

The CHURCH of CHRIST? -- it is the CHURCH -- it is the CATHOLIC CHURCH!

Ito ba ang Bagong Simbulo ng "Kristianismo"?

Iglesia ni Cristo-1914 (INC) Centennial Logo Explained

Photo Source: affodablecebu.com

Below is an UNOFFICIAL explanation of INC's centennial celebration LOGO on 2014 A.D.from affodablecebu.com

In the logo, the torch represents the light of salvation (the words of God through the Iglesia Ni Cristo) which will enlighten the whole world. 

Since the establishment of the Iglesia Ni Cristo in the Philippines in 1914, the members continue to fulfill their duties as lights of the world. They spread the good news (words of God) to the people and bring them closer to God and to the path of salvation. 

To all Iglesia Ni Cristo members, happy centennial anniversary this year 2014. May God blesses the Church and the Administration!

Here is my explanation of their centennial logo:

Torch = The word "torch" was mentioned only 4 times in the Bible (at least in the KJV).  A lamp or latern is more appropriately Biblical than torch.  The symbol of torch in INC's Centennial Logo appears to be influenced by paganism.  This torch appears to be that of the Olympics which has originated from the ancient pagan Greece-- Olympia."Thy word is  LAMP unto my feet and a LIGHT unto my path." (Ps. 119:105)

Similar to this lamp is used during the Biblical times and is used as a symbolism of God's word (2 Pt. 1:19)-- not the torch.

In fact, the Catholic Church has been there from 33 AD to the present as a Light to all Nations-- more than the INC's claims.  The Catholic Church has been the guide of many souls to salvation, having many saints-- yet the INC of Manalo never had any saintly people-- less than Felix Manalo who was branded as a "MAN OF LOW MORALS" by the Court of Appeals when he was accused of raping many women in his church.

The Iglesia ni Cristo = The definitive article "The"  is an English article which is immediately followed by the Tagalog words "Iglesia ni Crsito" when one can consistently use the English words "Church of Christ" after the article.  Why can't they use with easiness the words "The Church of Christ"? It's because the LAW does not allow them!  The reason is because this church is Manalo's own founded Church in the Philippines. Accordingly the INC is an All Rights Reserved patented  Trademark.

(Church of Christ) = English translations of the words "Iglesia ni Cristo" just in case a non-Tagalog speaking person might not understand the Registered Trademarks.


1914 - 2014 = Years when Manalo's Church was founded in 1914 and now celebrating it's 100th year anniversary undermining the bigger reality that the original Church of Christ has been there before 1914 and still there in 2014.  The CHURCH is now moving to the THIRD MILLENNIUM.

Map of the World with the Philippines as it's highlights = It reflects the truth about the true Church of Jesus Christ which is now present in all corners of the world, different tongues, race, culture, tradition in One, Holy, Catholic Apostolic Church of Christ. The Filipino Church through Catholics around the world is now bringing Christianity to their host countries.  In many countries the "Simbang Gabi" (Dawn Mass) is now celebrated even by non-Filipinos around the world.  None of INC's celebrations is celebrated in any part of the world.  Truly Romans 16:16 says "all the churches of Christ" greet the Church of Rome! One has to wonder why a certain "Iglesia ni Cristo" in the Philippines REFUSED to send its greetings to the CHURCH of ROME?!

"Overseas Filipinos have spread Filipino culture the world over, and have brought Filipino Catholicism with them. Filipinos have established two shrines in the Chicago Metropolitan Area: one at St. Wenceslaus dedicated to Santo Niño de Cebú, as well as another at St. Hedwig's with its statue to Our Lady of Manaoag." - Wikipedia

Influence of Manalo's Church is never been felt in any part of the world!

Let us Study the church of Manalo called the Iglesia ni Cristo

Logo taken from studyiglesianicristo.com

Let's study then Iglesia ni Cristo but where is the OFFICIAL WEBSITE where we can extract things to study?

So here, PILES and PILES of QUESTIONS LEFT UNANSWERED.

Did you notice the GREEN, WHITE and RED colors present in this logo? Have you wondered what those colors stand for?

I've asked them in my previous post HERE but instead I got nasty comments and NO ONE ever had come up with a CONCRETE explanations.

Most comments I received from this post were nasty. Others simply they tried to trick readers by POSTING OTHER ISSUES against the Catholic Church which is the TRUE CHURCH of CHRIST says Pasugo thus DEVIATING the issue to something else so that their LOGO would be spared of CRITICISM.

Much MORE FRUSTRATING is the fact that they DO NOT EVEN have an official explanations about their 97th Year Founding/Registration Anniversary. And NONE dared to comment on that too.

INC's 97th Year Founding Anniversary Logo with the crescent shaped tri-color of Iran (or Italy).  The Iglesia ni Cristo of Manalo do not believe in the Divinity of Christ. Crescent is an ISLAMIC SYMBOL.

Iranian Gymnastics Federation Logo with the Islamic Crescent and the tri-color of the Iranian Islamic Republic. Muslims do not believe in the Divinity of Christ.

And because of that, I come up with a more DIRECT to the point criticism on their claim that their name is written in the Bible.

I said that the ROMANS 16:16: All churches of Christs greets you, CHURCH of ROME is NOT about Felix' Church but the CHURCH of ROME.

It was a greetings to the CHURCH of ROME saying that "hey CHURCH of ROME, all the churches of CHRISTs are SENDING their greetings to you.

It's more puzzling why this "Iglesia ni Cristo" in the Philippines REFUSE to send their greetings to the CHURCH of ROME and yet their want to own that particular verse.

The Iglesia ni Cristo, is NEVER the CHURCH built by CHRIST.

So here are my advise before seriously considering yourself to study their teachings:

• Make use of history and the Bible. Do not separate the two.  The Bible is a HISTORICAL records of our salvation. And there are a lot of good history stuffs out there that are not authored by any religious people. It was written by REAL HISTORIANS. Connect history with the Bible and common sense.  This will keep you rooted to history while considering any claims to be authentic such that INC is claiming to be the "historical" Church of Christ from the First Century.
• Consider how the CHURCH began in 33 A.D. Ask yourself what was Christ's intention of building his CHURCH.  If the Church is HIS BRIDE, why would Jesus abandon his own Church when he was totally against divorce?
• You should always bear in mind that JESUS never lie.  So when he said "the gates of hell WILL NOT prevail" against his CHURCH, you should trust his words that whatever happens HIS CHURCH no matter how people try to say "we changed the teachings" CHRIST'S words IS FIRM, his CHURCH will not be ruined. If
• Christ built a CHURCH. People also built their own.  The Church more than 2,000 years existence cannot be explained by someone who just founded 97 years ago.  
• Apostasy is biblically prophesied.  But TOTAL APOSTASY is not.  Yes, SOME members would apostatize but NOT the WHOLE CHURCH. Therefore there is no need to "re-establish" the Church of Jesus Christ.  Therefore there is no need of a "Last Prophet" or "Last messenger" or "Sugo" or "Angel."  Jesus is ENOUGH!
• Discover for yourself who are the real cults and who are really anti-Christ.  Discover their "man-made" teachings unfounded in the Bible and not even mentioned in history.  Even how many times they would say "our teachings were not biblical" TRUST the HOLY SPIRIT. He guides the CHURCH.  The CHURCH (not the  Bible) is the PILLAR and BULWARK of TRUTH (1Tim3:15). Therefore we are assured that our CHURCH has the FULLNESS of TRUTH.
• Remember, the BIBLE is a CATHOLIC BOOK. Even they quote the Bible against us, the truth remains that WITHOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH there is no Bible.  History proves that.
• Don't go with OPINIONS. First, seek the OFFICIAL sites or teachings.  Opinions can vary depending on who's talking.  Here is Vatican's Official Site. Here is Catholic Church's Official Catechism, here is Catholic Church's Canon Law, here are Papal Encyclicals for references, 
• Here are Catholic Versions of the Bible: The New American Bible; The Jerusalem Bible; the Douay-Rheims Bible; Bible in Greek, Latin and English from New Advent.org 
• Be assured that we have BIBLE SCHOLARS while they DO NOT HAVE one. That shows that we LOVE and SAFEGUARD the SCRIPTURES for it's OUR BOOK. While they have to RELY heavily on our versions of the Bible.
• If you are members of any cults that are anti-Christ, it is prophesied that the coming of the deceiver precedes before Christ Second Coming.  Check the history of the life of their founders.  Ask for yourself why? and another why? Do not stop asking them.
• Lastly, DISCOVER for yourself the SPLENDOR of the CHURCH of CHRIST. Truly remarkable. How this CHURCH survived many heresies, wars, schisms, betrayal and yet still the most ATTACKED CHURCH today.  
• Thank God that you belong to his CHURCH which is now 2011 years old (see your calendar, that's the YEAR of the LORD 2011 A.D.)
• Lastly, PRAY. Keep on praying it works.  As a CHURCH let us all seek the mercy of God. Let us seek the intercession of those who died in friendship with Christ.  Let us pray that more and more people who were deceived will come back to LIGHT for JESUS is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE (Jn. 14:6).

If you are in doubt, don't be frustrated. Doubt gives us the force to search for truth. Healthy doubt leads you to the TRUTH.

Seek for help.  If you are sick, see a doctor. Do not see a fake doctor.  Spiritually seek for spiritual advise only to those who were called by Christ.  Or those who are very knowledgeable of truth.  Do go with the wolves, they will devour you and soon you will become wolves too. 

Unhealthy doubt leads you to ANGER and JEALOSY which when you convert, it will make you a bigot anti-Catholic.

Glory is given to buildings, colors, symbols, and 'inc"-- ultimately give praise to the founder

Have we got any answers for these pressing questions to the Iglesia ni Cristo of Felix Manalo?

What's in their LOGO?

What's the meaning of their FLAG?

What's the meaning of their 97th Year Anniversary Logo?

These are the new "baal" being worshiped-- buildings, symbols, colors, and the "inc" abbreviations. Yes, they do not have images of "saints" (Christian heroes) but their buildings, logos, symbols, tri-color and their registered name are their new gods being worshiped.

Those abbreviations "inc" is another form of marketing their registered trademarks.

That symbol, what does it mean?

Those "crescents" tri-color, what do the mean?

The color, the number, the registered name in tagalog "Iglesia ni Cristo"-- a form of a "god"?

Or you mean "Iglesia ni Cristo-Church of Christ" by Felix Manalo?

The Green, White and Red, what does it mean?

"inc"?
