ANG KARUNUNGAN NI FELIX MANALO

• PASUGO Hunyo 1962, p. 35:
  "Ang mga sugo ay kusang pinagkalooban ng Dios na makaunawa ng mga salita ng Dios. Ang mga hindi sugo ay kusang pinagkaitan naman na makaunawa nga mga salita ng Dios."
• PASUGO Enero 1953, p. 10:
  "Ito'y natupad sa ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. Siya'y marunong bagama't hindi nag-aral kailanman. At ang kanyang dunong ay humihiya sa mga kumakaaway sa kanya. Natupad din ito kay kapatid na Felix Manalo. Siya'y walang katangian ayon sa laman. Natupad gaya ng dunong, kayamanan, o kaya'y kapangyarihan. Hindi siya nag-aral sa paaralan ng tao. Ngunit kung si Kapatid na Felix Manalo man ay mangmang sa karunungan ng sanlibutan, gayunman ay marunong siya ng mga salita ng Dios."

Ang mga sinasabi nilang ito ay pawang kayabangan at kasinungalingan. At dito natin sila ngayon puputulan ng dila upang huwag magpalalo sa pagmamayabang, sapagkat nasusulat sa kanilang PASUGO Hulyo 27, 1964, p. 180, 182; (Ika-50 Anibersaryo) na si Felix Manalo'y nag-aral sa paaralan nga tao gaya nitong mga sumusunod:

Pahina 180:
"Noong 1904, ay nag-aral si Felix Manalo sa paaralan ng Methodist Theological Seminary. (Hindi pa naitatag ang kanyang Iglesia).

Pahina 182:
sinasabing nagpunta si Manalo sa Amerika noong 1919, at nag-aral sa Pacific School of Religion sa California, USA.

Dahil diyan ay maliwanag na kasinangilan at kayabangang sabihing hindi nag-aral sa paaralan ng tao si G. Felix Manalo. At gamundong pagmamapuri kay Manalo na kusang pinagkalooban ng Dios ng mga karunungan sapagkat sinugo siya ng Dios. Ang lahat ng mga sinasabi nilang ito ay isang nagdudumilat na katotohanan, na hindi sugo ng Dios si Felix Manalo; kundi ang ipinangangalat ay maling aral, at pikit mata namang sinusunod ng kanilang mga manunulat sa PASUGO o ng mga kaanib na Iglesiang itinayo niya at pag-aari. O paano ito mga kababayan? Sumagot na kayo.

PAGKAKAPAREHO NG DIWA SA PAMAMARAAN NG TUNGKULING TINANGGAP SA DIOS (DAW) NI JESU-CRISTO AT NI G. FELIX MANALO

PASUGO Hulyo 1965, p. 12:
"Parehong-pareho ang espiritu ni Cristo sa diwa ni Kapatid na Felix Manalo sa pamamaraan ng pagdadala ng tungkuling tinanggap sa Dios."

Tanong: Sasangayunan kaya ito ng Banal na Kasulatan? Hindi po sapagkat agn ginawang pamamaraan ni Cristo bilang diwa ng kanyang tungkulin ay ang mababasa sa Hebreo 9:14 na ganito:

"Gaano pa kaya ang dugo ni Cristo, na sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu na walang hanggan ay inihandog ang kaniyang sarili na walang dungis sa Dios..."

Naganap din ba ito kay Felix Manalo upang masasabi natin na sila'y magkapareho? Hindi po, sapagkat ang nababasa sa PASUGO Mayo 1964, p. 1 ay ganito:

"Inihandog ng Dios ang kanyang sarili sa kanyang huling sugo upang dumiyos sa kanya. Samakatuwid, ang tanging may Dios na huling araw na ito'y ang huling sugo -- si Kapatid na Felix Manalo."

NOTA: Patiwarik pala o kabaliktaran, sa halip na umano'y magkapareho sila, ay nakakataas pa si Manalo kay Cristo. Bakit? Sapagkat si Cristo'y inihahandog ang kanyang dugo at sarili sa Dios, subalit si Felix Manalo nama'y siya ang pinaghandugan ng Dios ng kanyang sarili (daw).

Dahil dito'y pikit matang pinaniniwalaan ng kanyang mga kaanib na siya ay sinugo ng Dios upang itatag ang Iglesia sa Pilipinas.

At ang isang punto na ibig kong linawin sa bagay na ito ay yaong sinasabi nilang "Si Felix Manalo lamang ang tanging may Dios."

Ang paniniwala nilang ito ay laban sa Banal na Kasulatan ayon sa talatang sumusunod:

• Juan 20:17: "Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, huwag mo akong hipuin, sapagkat hindi pa ako nakaakyat sa Ama, ngunit pumaroon ka sa aking mga kapatid, at sabihin mo sa kanila; Aakyat ako sa aking Ama at inyong Ama, at aking Dios at inyong Dios."

Kung si Cristo'y hindi niya inaring sariling Ama at Dios ang Dios, gasino pa kaya itong Felix Manalong ito? At ang mga tagasunod naman niya'y pikik-matang sunud-sunuran, na kung sa ating kapanahunan ngayon ay "Mga tupa nina Manalo" kung tatawagin. Kaunting pagbubulay-bulay o sentido comun naman mga kababayan!

ANG MGA KARAPATAN NI JESU-CRISTO NA INAANGKIN NI G. FELIX MANALO AT NG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA LUMITAW SA PILIPINAS NOONG 1914

• PASUGO Enero 1941, p. 12:
  "Hindi inaangkin ng Iglesia ni Cristo ang karapatan ni Cristo at ng mga Apostol ong ninuman. Siya'y may sariling karapatang galing sa D ios at kaloob ng Dios. Siya'y inihalal ng Dios at hindi siya ang naghalal sa kanyang sarili. Sa Apoc. 7:2 ay sinasabing isang anghel ang may taglay na tatak ng Dios na Buhay."

Ang sinasabi nilang ito ay tiyak na kasinungalingan sapagkat napakaraming inaangkin ni G. Felix Manalo na hindi nauukol sa kanya kundi nauukol kay Cristo. At bilang katunayan, ay narito at patutunayan natin sa pamamagitan ng PASUGO.

1. PASUGO Mayo 1961, p. 22:
   "Papaano magiging kawan o Iglesia ni Cristo itong mga tupa ni Jesus na nagmumula sa Pilipinas, hindi naman naparito si Cristo noong 1914? Ang sabi ni Jesus, Juan 10:16, 'magkakaroon sila ng isang Pastor'. Sino itong isang Pastor ng Iglesia na lilitaw sa Pilipinas? Ang pinagsabihan ng Dios: 'Huwag kang matakot, sapagkat ako'y sumasaiyo: (Isaias 43:5).
   
   Sino itong pastor ng Iglesiang lilitaw sa Pilipinas? Ito ang huling tinatawag o sugo na kasama ng Dios. Ito ang Kapatid na Felix Manalo. Noong sabihin ni Cristo na siya'y mayroon pang ibang mga tupa na wala sa kulungan at sila'y gagawing isang kawan at magkakaroon ng isang pastor, noon pa'y mayroon na siyang karapatan."

Ngayon ay ganito ay tanong: Ang Pastor na ito na nabanggit sa Juan 10:16, totoo kaya na si G. Felix Manalo, at sa pinamagatang SULO sa pahina 58, ay ganito ang mababasa natin:

"Itinuturo din ng Iglesia Katolika na ang Papa ang siyang "Kataas-taasang Pastor". (Question Box 169). Ito ay salungat din sa turo ni Jesus at ng mga Apostol, sapagkat sinabi ni Cristo: "Ako ang tanging Pastor" (Juan 10:16).

O paano ngayon ito? Kailangan pa ba naman na kami ay gumamit ng pangsarili naming pagpapatunay? Samantalang kayo rin ang mismong nagsasabing si Cristo ang tinutukoy na Pastor na nasa Juan 10:16? Paano ninyo sasabihin ngayong walang inaangkin ang Iglesia ni Cristo na karapatan ni Cristo! Sumagot nga kayo!

Bueno, iwanan natin ang puntong ito at kumuha pa rin tayo ng ibang karapatan ni Cristo na kanilang inaangkin gaya nitong sumusunod:

• PASUGO Disyembre 1956, p. 17: (patula)
  "ANG KAPANGANAKAN NG SINUGO
  
  At sa huling kaarawang nalalapit na ngang ganap;
  Ang dakilang paghuhukom ng Dios sa taong lahat;
  Sa pagibig ni Bathalang ang tao ay maligtas;
  Sa hula ay pinabangon ang Sugo sa Pilipinas;
  Siya ay si Kapatid Felix Manalo ang tawag;
  Si Elias na paririto bago dumating ang wakas."

Ang liwanagin natin dito, ay yaong sinasabi nilang si Manalo ang siyang pag-ibig ng Dios na pinabangon o sinugo upang ang tao'y maligtas. At ang sinasabi nilang ito ay hindi sinasang-ayunan ng Banal na Kasulatan, at narito ang katunayan:

• Juan 4:9,16: "At nahayag ang pag-ibig ng Dios sa atin, sapagkat sinugo ng Dios ang kanyang bugtong na Anak sa sanlibutan upang tayo'y mabuhay sa pamamagitan niya, at ating makilala at sampalayatanan "ang pag-ibig ng Dios sa atin..."
• Gawa 4:12: "At sa kanino mang iba ay walang kaligtasan; sapagkat walang ibang pangalan sa silong ng langit na ibinigay sa mga tao na sukat nating ikaligtas."

Sa mga talatang ito ay napakaliwanag na sinasabing si Cristo ang sinugo ng Dios sa ikaliligtas. O paano ngayon ito, mayroon bang inaangkin ang Iglesia ni Cristo na karapatan ni Cristo? Sagutin ninyo ito mga kababayan namin!

Kumuha pa rin tayo ng isa sa karapatang inangkin nila na nauukol lamang kay Cristo.

• PASUGO Hunyo 1967, p. 11 (patula)
  "Alaala natin ngayon ang kanyang kaarawan
  Isang sangol na lalaki sa atin ay ibinigay;
  Ang araw ay ika-sampu ang buwan ay Mayo naman;
  Nang kumita ng liwanag ang sinugong ating mahal;
  Sa dahon ng kasaysayan ay hindi na mapipigtal;
  Ang kanyang kasaysayang punung-puno ng tagumpay."

Sino ang isang sanggol o batang lalaki na ibinigay sa atin? Si Jesus ayon sa Isaias 9:6 at ganito ang pahayag: "Sapagkat sa atin ay ipinanganak ang isang bata, sa atin ay ibinigay ang isang Anak na lalaki; at ang pamamahala ay maaatang sa kanyang balikat; at ang kanyang pangalan ay tatawaging kamangha-mangha. Tagapayo, Makapangyarihang Dios at walang Hanggang Ama, Pangulo ng Kapayapaan."

Ayon pa rin sa Lucas 2:11-16, ay sinasabing si Jesus ang siyang sanggol na ipinanganak sa isang sabsaban. At walang mababasa sa Biblia na ikalawang sanggol o batang lalaki na ibinigay sa mundo. Kun gayon ay inaangkin na naman nina G. Manalo ang pagkasanggol ni Jesu-Cristo.

KABUUAN:

• Limang panahon o nagkakaibang petsa ng pagkatatag ng Iglesia Katolika ang ipinangaral ni G. Felix Manalo sa mga kaanib ng Iglesiang kanyang itinatag.
• Ipinangaral ni Felix Manalo na hindi siya nag-aangkin o hindi niya inaangkin ang karapatan ni Cristo sapagkat mayroon daw sariling karapatan na ibinigay ng Dios sa kanya. Datapuwa't pinatutunayan ng kanilang PASUGO na inaangkin niya ang karapatan ni Cristo gaya nitong mga sumusunod:

1. Pastor na nasusulat sa Juan 10:16
2. Pag-ibig ng Dios sa mga tao sa ikaliligtas 1 Juan 4,9,6; Gawa 4:12
3. Isang sanggol na ibinigay sa atin Isaias 9:6; Lucas 2:11-16

ANG SALU-SALUNGATANG PAGSIPOT SA MUNDO NG IGLESIA KATOLIKA NA NASUSULAT SA MAGASING PASUGO

1. PASUGO Pebrero 1959, p. 1: (sinulat ni Ben Santiago)"Mahigit nang isang libo at limangdaang taon ang Iglesia Katolika sa mundo. Maglilimangdaang taon naman ang mga Protestante. Ang Iglesia ni Cristo ay mag-aapatnapu't limang taon lamang mula noong 1914." (Ika-limang siglo ng Iglesia Katolika)
2. PASUGO Mayo 1952, p. 5: (sinulat ni Ben Santiago)."Mula sa taong 527 hanggang 565 sa panahon ng Emperador Justinano naging ganap ang pagkatatag ng Iglesiang ito na sumipot sa Pulong ng Nicea." (Ika-anim na siglo)
3. PASUGO Agosto 1962, p. 3: (sinulat ni Ben Santiago)"Sino ang nagtayo ng Iglesia Katolika Apostolika Romana? Ang Konsilyo Batikano! Kailan? Noong 1870." (Ika-labingsiyam na siglo)
4. PASUGO Marso 1956, p. 25: (sinulat ni Teofilo Ramos) "Ang Iglesia Katolika'y pinabrika lamang ng mga Obispo noong 1870 sa Batikano."
5. PASUGO Pebrero 1952, p. 9: (sinulat ni Joaquin Balmores)"Hindi mapapasinungalingan ninuman na talagang ang Iglesia Katolika ang lumitaw sa loob ng Emperyo Romano noong ika-apat na siglo."

PANSININ: Ang mga ito ang Ministrong inaralan at inatasang magpahayag ng pagkatatag ng Iglesia Katolika Apostolika Romana:

• Si Emiliano Magtuto--PASUGO Nob. 1956, p. 18: -- 44 B.C.
• Si Benjamin Santiago -- PASUGO Peb. 1959, p. 1: -- 400 A.D.
• Si Benjamin Santiago -- PASUGO Ago. 1962, p. 3: -- 1870 A.D.
• Si Teofilo C. Ramos -- PASUGO Mar. 1956, p. 25: -- 1870 A.D.
• Si Joaquin Balmores -- PASUGO Peb. 1952, p. 9: -- 400 A.D.

Isa ang mga petsang salu-salungatan na napag-aralan ni G. Felix Manalo na pagkatatag ng Iglesia Katolika at inilathala naman ng mga nabanggit na Ministro niya.

Dahil dito lalong lumilitaw na hindi sa Dios at kay Cristo ang itinayong Iglesia ni Felix Manalo alinsunod pa rin sa nasusulat sa Magasing PASUGO Agosto 1951, p. 18 na ganito ang mababasa natin:

"Totoo rin na kung ang Iglesia ay iba-iba ang inaaral sa iba't ibang panahon ay tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo."

Tumpak at marahil sa mukha nila bumalandra ang sinasabi nilang ito:

ANG PALAGAY NG IGLESIA NI CRISTO SA PASKO

1. PASUGO Disyembre 1956, p. 34: (sinulat ni Benjamin T. Villalba)
   "It strikes people as odd that members of the Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo) do not celebrate Christmas. (ang Iglesia ni Cristo ay tuwirang hindi nagdiriwang ng Pasko ng kapanganakan ni Cristo).
2. PASUGO Disyembre 1957, p. 28: (sinulat ni Emeliano I. Agustin)
   (Patula)
   "Ang diwa ng Pasko ay kapayapaan;
   Nang mundong naglunoy sa lusak ng Buhay;
   Mabuting balita sa kinalulugdan;
   Pagsilang ni Jesus sa abang sabsaban."

Napakagulong talaga ang mga Ministrong ito na inaralan ng Anghel Felix Manalo. Isang taon lamang ang pagitan, ay binago na naman ang kanyang paninindigan tungkol sa Pasko. Kahabag-habag ang anghel nilang ipinaglalaban ng pukpukan.

KABUUAN NG PAKSA:

• Ayon sa Magasing PASUGO, si Ginoong F. Manalo ay nangaral na hindi siya nagtatangi ng mga tao at hindi sinasarili ang kaligtasan. Ang kanyang turong aral na ito, ay siya rin ang nagpapawalang saysay, sapagkat pinatunayan din ng PASUGO na sinasarili niya ang kaligtasan.
• Ipinapangaral ni G. Felix Manalo na ipinagdiriwang ang Paskong kapanganakan ni Cristo, at ipinangaral din na hindi ipinagdiriwang, sapagkat aral daw ng mga Pagano ang pagdiriwang ng Pasko. (Sa gayon ay salu-salungatan ang aral na itinuro).
• Ipinangaral din na hindi masamang ipagdiwang ang kapanganakan ninumang tao huwag lamang iuukol sa pagsamba sa D ios. Ngunit ang kanyang kaarawan ay iniuukol sa pagsamba sa Dios at pati ang kaarawan ng kapanganakan ni Erdy Manalo.

ANG MGA HIDWAANG ARAL NA ITINUTURO NG YUMAONG FELIX MANALO
(Ang mga Ministro Na Pinaglalaban-laban ng Kanilang Anghel Felix Manalo)

1. PASUGO Hulyo 1953, p. 15: (sinulat ni Joaquin Balmores)
   Kami raw na mga Iglesia ni Cristo ay nagtatangi ng mga tao. Sinasarili raw namin ang kaligtasan. Iyan ay hindi totoo, at kung may nasasabi niyan sa am in sa kasalukuyan, iyan ay bunga ng malaking kadiliman na naghahari sa kanyang buong pagkatao.
2. PASUGO Agosto 1966, p.13: (sinulat ni Tomas C. Catangay)
   Totoo na nailangan ng tao ang pananampalataya upang maligtas, ngunit kung siya'y hindi Iglesia ni Cristo, tiyak na hindi siya maliligtas."
3. PASUGO Hunyo 1967, p. 16: (sinulat din ni T.C. Catangay)
   Ang may karapatan na tumawag sa Dios, humingi at bigyan, tanging tayo lamang na mga Iglesia ni Cristo."
4. PASUGO Pebrero 1966, p. 18: (sinulat ni Benjamin Santiago)
   
   Sa panahong ito'y ang Iglesia ni Cristo lamang ang may karapatang gumamit ng pangalan ni Cristo. Maliban sa Iglesia ni Cristo na lumitaw sa Pilipinas noong 1914, ay walang may karapatang gumamit sa mahalagang pangalang ito."

Ang nakita natin dito ay dalawa laban sa isa, sa pagkat si G. Balmores ay naninindigan sa hindi pagsasarili ng kaligtasan at pagtatangi ng tao.

At itong dalawa naman, na sina B. Santiago at T.C. Catangay, ay naninindigan sa pagsasarili ng kaligtasan at pagtatangi ng tao. Dahil dito, ang tanong natin ay ganito:

Alin kaya ang sinasang-ayunan ng Banal na Kasulatan; itong nag-iisa kaya o itong dalawa? Sisipiin natin ang nasa Gawa 10:34-35 at ganito ang nasusulat:

At binuka ni Pedro ang kanyang bibig at sinabi: 'Tunay ngang natatalasko na hindi nagtatangi ang Dios ng mga tao; kundi sa bawat bansa siya na may takot sa kanya, at gumawa, ay kalugud-lugod sa kanya."

Kung gayon, mayroong apostol na kasama si G. Joaquin Balmores. Baka ito ang dahilan na itiniwalag ni G. Felix Manalo noong 1937, sapagkat kumakampi sa ara ng mga apostol. (Palibot liham na may lagda ni G. Felix Manalo, Junyo 3, 1937, na itiwalag sa Iglesia si Joaquin Balmores).

I hope and pray that with this little effort of typing some from the booklet, our separated brethren may finally come home to the real Church Christ has built on the rock of St. Simon Peter:

A. "SI JESU-CRISTO'Y SINUGO NG DIOS UPANG MAGTATAG NG IGLESIA."

1. PASUGO Mayo 1963, p. 13:
   
   Noong tumalikod ang bayang Israel at sumamba sa diyus-diyosan ay nagsugo an gDios upang magtatag ng Iglesia"


2. PASUGO Setyembre 1940, p. 1:
3. 
   Dapat malaman ng lahat, ayon sa Bagong Tipan, ang tunay na INK ay si Cristo ang nagtatag nito."


4. PASUGO Nobyembre 1940, p. 23:
   
   Iisa lamang ang tanging makapagtatayo ng Iglesiang magiging dapat sa Dios. Kung sino-- ang ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo lamang! Sino mang tao-- maging marunong o mangmang, maging dakila o hamak-- ay walang karapatang magtayo ng Iglesia"


5. PASUGO Mayo 1968, p. 7:
   
   Ang tunay na INK ay iisa lamang. Ito ang Iglesiyang itinayo ni Cristo. Kung mayroon mang nagsisibangon ngayong mga Iglesia at sasabihing sila man ay Iglesia ni Cristo rin, ang mga ito ay hindi tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo kundi huwad lamang."


6. PASUGO Mayo 1954, p. 9:
   
   Alin ang tunay na Iglesia? Ang Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo sa Jerusalem."

Ang Kabuuan ng Nasa Itaas:

• Sinasariwa nila sa atin, ng mga tagapagtuaguyod ng INK na lumitaw sa Pilipinas n oon g 1914, na si Cristo lamang ang tanging makapagtatayo ng Iglesiang magiging dapat sa Dios, at walang sinumang taong makapagtatayo ng Iglesia maging marunong o mangmang.


• At ipinababatid pa rin nila na iisa lamang ang Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo at sa Jerusalem niya itinayo noong unang siglo.

B. SI FELIX MANALO'Y SINUGO NG DIOS UPANG MAGTATAG NG IGLESIA."

1. PASUGO Agosto-Setyembre 1964, p. 2,5:

Sino ang sinugo ng Dios upang maitatag ang Iglesia sa Pilipinas? Sa Isaias 46:11, ay ganito ang sabi: 'na tumatawag ng ibong mandaragit mula sa silanganan ang
taong gumagawa ng aking payo mula sa malayong lupain" (Si Felix Manalo).
Ayon sa kumakaaway sa INK sinasabi raw ng Rehistro na si Felix Manalo ang
nagtatag ng INK."

1. PASUGO Mayo 1967, 9.14:
   Sa panahong ito ng mga wakas na Lupa na nagsimula sa unang Digmaang Pandaigdig ay tatawag ang Dios ng kanyang huling sugo upang itatag ang kanyang Organisasyon. Kung gayon ang INK na lumitaw sa Pilipinas noong 1914, ay siyang Organisasyong Pinangunahan o Pinamahalaan ni Felix Manalo."


2. PASUGO Hulyo 1955, nasa panakip:
   Iyon ang Iglesia ni Cristo na dapat pasukan ng lahat ng tao; at ang tanging sugo'y si kapatid na Felix Manalo."


3. PASUGO Hulyo 1952, p. 4:
   Kung ang babalingan ng pag-uusapan ay ang nagtatag, dapat na siya ang may-ari ng itinatag, at sa kanya rin manggagaling ang mga aral at turo na ipinatutupad."

Ang Kabuuan ng Nasa Itaas:

• Ipinaaalala nila sa atin na si Felix Manalo raw ang sinugo ng Dios na magtatag ng Iglesiang kanilang kinaaaniban, at si Kapatid nilang F. Manalo raw ang siyang tanging sugo sa Iglesia na lumitaw sa Pilipinas noong 1914.


• At tinatanggap nilang ito na sinasabi raw sa Rehistro na si Felix Manalo ang nagtatag.

Ang sinasabi nilang ito na ating hinango sa kanilang PASUGO ay tumpak at walang pagtatalo sapagkat iyan nga ang buong katotohanan, ngunit ang mga katotohanang ito ay sila-sila na rin ang nagpapaw3alang asysay gaya nitong nasusulat sa mga PASUGOng sumusunod:

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."
2. PASUGO Mayo 1964, p. 15:
   Tinatanggap halos ng lahat na sa Dios at kay Cristo ang INK na itinayo ni Cristo sa Jerusalem noong unang siglo. Datapuwat ang INK sa huling araw na ito na lumitaw sa Pilipinas noong 1914 ay hindi nila kinikilalang sa Dios at kay Cristo. Ito ay nagpapanggap lamang na INK ngunit ang totoo raw ay Iglesia ni Manalo. Walang katotohanan ang kanilang palagay na ito sapagkat walang Iglesiang kanya si Kapatid na Manalo."

Ang sinasabi nilang ito ay pinagmumulan ng kaguluhan, sapagkat ipinaglalaban nila ng pukpukan sa larangan ng debate, maging sa palatuntunan ng radyo. Dahil dito, pinagsisikapan nating isulat sa munting babasahing ito ang mga patotoo na hindi ang Dios at kay Cristo ang Iglesiang iyan na itinatag lamang ni FELIX MANALO.

Ngayon ay liwanagin natin ito sa pamamagitan ng tanong at sagot upang maunawaan natin ang buong katotohanan at mga kamalian:

• Tanong: Totoo ba o hindi na si Felix Manalo ang siyang nagtatag ng INK -1914?
  Sagot: 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."
• Tanong: Sino ang may-ari ng Iglesiang itinatag ni Ginoong Felix Manalo?
  Sagot: PASUGO Mayo 1952, p. 4
  Kung ang babalingan ng pag-uusapan ay ang nagtatag, dapat na siya ang may-ari ng itinatag, at sa kanya rin manggagaling ang mga aral at turo na ipinatutupad."

Lalong lumilitaw na si Felix Manalo ang nagtatag at may-ari nitong tinagurian nilang INK na nairehistro sa Pilipinas noong Huly 27, 1914 at hindi sa Dios at kay Cristo kundi nagpapanggap lamang, baka sakali'y makalusot!

• Tanong: Mayroon bang karapatan na magtayo ng Iglesia ang isang tao, na katulad ni Felix Manalong tao?
  Sagot: 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..."
• Tanong: Ilan ba ang Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo, at saang dako ng daigdig niya itinayo?
  Sagot: 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!"

Maliwanag sa sikat ng araw na walang pakialam ang Dios at si Cristo sa Iglesiang iyan na tinagurian nilang Iglesia ni Cristo at sumulpot noong 1914.

At isang bagay na kamangmangan na pinupuna sa atin, kung bakit daw na hindi natin tanggapin at kilalaning sa Dios at kay Cristo ang Iglesiang iyan samantalang tinatanggap daw na sa Dios at kay Cristo yaong Iglesiang itinayo noong unang siglo sa Jerusalem. Ang sinasabi nilang ito'y isang kamangmangan sapagkat batid naman nila na mayroon na tayong tinaggap na Iglesia at ibig yata nila na dalawa ang aaniban natin: isa ang tunay at isa ang huwad.

• Tanong: Anu-ano pa ang kanilang pinagbabatayan upang palitawing sa Dios at kay Cristo ang kinaroroonan nilang Iglesia?
  Sagot: May tatlong bagay pa gaya nitong sumusunod:
  (a) Si Felix Manalo raw ay sinugo ng Dios upang itatag ang Iglesia sa Pilipinas.
  (b) Ang mga lokales ng Iglesia lamang daw ang kanyang tinatag.
  (c) Ang INK raw noong unang siglo, natalikod; nalipol at inagaw ng mga bulaang propeta ang mga ddating alagad ni Cristo kaya walang natira sa tagasunod.

Ang tatlong puntong ito ay isa-isahin nating liwanagin sa pamamagitan ng mga tanong at sagot at ang mga tanong lamang ang manggagaling sa atin at ang mga sagot naman ay sa kanilang PASUGO manggagaling.

• Tanong: Ano ang patakaran nina Felix Manalo at panukat upang makilala ang tunay at hindi tunay na Sinugo ng Dios?
  Sagot: Ang sagot ng PASUGO ay narito:
  
  (a) PASUGO Nobyembre 1960, p. 26:
  
  Kaya't papaano makikilala ang sugo ng Dios at ang hindi sugo ng Dios: Sa aral makikilala ayon kay Jesus. Ang aral ng mga sugo ng Dios ay mula sa Dios, ang mg aral ng hindi sugo ng Dios, ay mula lamang sa kanyang sarili. (Juan 7: 16-18)
  (b) PASUGO Nobyembre 1959, p. 20:
  Kaninong aral ang itinuturo ng Iglesia ni Cristo? Aral ng Dios, ni Cristo at ng mga Apostol na nasusulat sa Banal na Kasulatan. Walang aral si Kapatid na Felix Manalo na kinatha mula sa kanyang sarili."

Dito tayo ngayon sumakay sa sinasabi nilang patakaran o panukat sa tunay at hindi tunay na sinugo ng D ios, upang wala na silang maidadahilan at ano pa mang pagtatalo. At wala tayong ibang gagawin kundi sisipiin lamang natin ang kanilang mga aral na nasusulat sa PASUGO at pagkatapos ay pagtitimtimbangin natin sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Kasulatan, gaya nitong sumusunod:

1. PASUGO Mayo 1961, p. 4, ay gantio ang isang bahagi na nasusulat:
   At sino nga ba ang gumagawa ng mga leksiong itinuturo ng mga ministro, maging sa mga pagsamba, mga doktrina o mga Propaganda? Ang Kapatid na Felix Manalo".
2. PASUGO Mayo 1963, p. 27:
   Kaya't sa katuparan ng hula, ang lahat ng mga itinuturo ng mga Ministro ng INK sa mga pagsamba, sa mga doktrina, sa mga pamamahayag sa gitna ng bayan, ay si Kapatid na Felix Manalo lamang ang bumabalangkas at at nagtuturo sa kanila."

Dito pa lamang sa dalawang artikulong ito na ating hinango sa kanilang PASUGO ay mapapansin na natin, na hindi nagmula sa Dios ang kanilang mga aral na itinataguyod, kundi nagmula lamang kay G. Felix Manalo. Gayon pa man ay ipagpatuloy natin ang pagsipi sa mga dahon ng kanilang PASUGO, ng mga aral na hindi nagmula sa Dios kundi nagmula lamang sa sarili ng yumaong Felix Manalo. At itong PASUGO na napalathala noong taong Nobyembre 1954, p. 2, 1, ay ganito:

Hindi kailangang patunayan pa kung hindi tunay na Iglesia, kung ito'y kay Cristo o
hindi. Ang pag-uusig na nagaganap sa INK, na siyang katuparan ng pinagpauna ng
Panginoon ay siyang malinaw na katunayan na ang INK ay tunay na Iglesia at kay
Cristo. Anu-ano ang mga kinathang kasinungalingan na ipinaparatang kay Jesus na
nakasisirang puri! Hindi lamang nila sinasabing siya'y may demonyo, kundi
pinaparatangang siya'y nauulol (Juan 15:20). Kung siya'y inusig tao man ay
uusigin din. Ang pag-uusig sa Ulo at tagos hanggang sa katawan. Siya ang ulo,
tayo ang mga sangkap, na siyang Iglesia."

Totoo nga kaya na sila ay inuusig at pinaparatangang sa demonyo, na katulad sa naganap kay Cristo! Na siyang katuparan sa nasusulat sa Juan 15:20, at sa Juan 8:40?

Hindi iyon totoo, kundi sila pa nga ang nagpaparatang na ang lahat maliban sa kanila, ay pawang mga demonyo o sa kay Satanas! At bilang katunayan ay ating sisipiin ang mga nasusulat sa kanilang PASUGO na malalaswang salita:

1. PASUGO Disyembre 1965, p. 5:
   

   Kaninong Ministro kung ganyan ang mga Paring Katoliko? Mga Ministro ni
   Satanas na Diablo."

2. PASUGO Oktubre 1959, p. 5:
   

   Mga magdaraya at anti-Cristo, ang mga nagtuturong si Cristo ay Dios."

3. PASUGO Agosto 1962, p. 9:

Kaya ang tunay na anti-Cristo, ang mga Papa ng Iglesia Katolika Apostolika Romana. At ang tunay na ampon ng anti-Cristo ay ang mga Katoliko."

1. PASUGO Oktubre 1956, p. 1:
   

   Ang Iglesia ni Cristo ay nagdaos ng pamamahayag sa Lunsod ng Davao. Nagsalita roon si Kapatid na Felix Manalo at ang kasama niyang mga Ministro. Ipinahayag doon ng mga nagsalita na ang Iglesia Katolika Romana ay hindi itinatag ni Cristo kundi itinatag ng Diablo."

• Tanong: O sino ngayon ang lumilitaw na nang-uusig at nagpaparatang, kami ba o sina Felix Manalo at ang kanilang mga kaanib? Kung sino pa man ang nagpaparatang ay inaangkin na siyang pinararatangan. At kung ang panukat sa tunay na Iglesia ay sa inuusig at pinararatangang sa demonyo, ay lalong tumitingkad ang pagiging dalisay na Iglesiang sa Dios at kay Cristo ang Iglesia Katolika. May reklamo ba kayo?

At ang isa pa na kalunus-lunos na pagyurak i pagmamaliit sa ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo ay itong sinabi nilang ang Iglesia Katolika raw ay hindi itinatag ni Cristo kundi ng Diablo. Bakit sinasabi nating pagmamaliit ito kay Cristo? Sapagkat batid nila na ang Iglesia Katolika ay Iglesia ni Cristo, ayon sa PASUGO Abril 1966, p. 46:

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

Tanggapin natin na nang pasimula lamang naging Iglesia ni Cristo! Ano ngayon ang kalagayan ni Cristo sa naturang Iglesiang iyan? Ang lagay ba'y noon ay naitatag na ni Diablo ang Iglesia Katolika; nakiusap ba si Cristo kay Diablo upang mapasakanya? O inagaw ni Cristo kay Diablo ang Iglesiang iyan!

O sino ngayon ang maniniwala na sinugo ng Dios si Kapatid na Felix Manalo upang itatag ang Iglesia sa Pilipinas?

Ngayon naman ay dumako tao sa ikalawa, ang nauukol sa lokales ng Iglesia ni Cristo.

• Tanong: Nasa Jerusalem ba ang central ng mga lokales na itinatag ni G. Felix Manalo?
  Sagot: Tanging PASUGO ang ating pasasagutin upang walang gaanong usapan.:
  
  
  (a). PASUGO Oktubre 1968, nasa huling panakip, at ganito ang mababasa natin: Dapat malaman ng lahat-- Dahil dito, ipinahahayag na mula ngayon ang mga nakalagda sa kasulatang ito bilang pasimulang kaanib sa lokal ng San Francisco, Estados Unidos ng Amerika, ay iniuugnay at ngayon ay nasasakop ng Pamahalaang Pangkalahatan ng Iglesia ni Cristo na may Tanggapang Pangkalatan sa 154, F. Manalo St., San Juan, Rizal, Republika ng Pilipinas."
  (b). PASUGO Hulyo 1971, p. 2:
  A permanent Central Office after 57 years establishment of the Church of Christ in the Philippines. This stands on a sprawling lot in Quezon City, at the corner of Central Avenue in Commonwealth Avenue."

Nota: Pansinin natin dito kung saan masusumpungan ang Central na nakakasakop sa isang Lokal ng INK na nasa Amerika (USA). Narito pala sa Pilipinas ang Central nila ano po! Matuwid bang tatawagin pa ring "Lokal" ang nakakasakop sa isang "Lokal"?

Kaunting pagbubulay-bulay o sentido comun, mga kababayan namin! Mabuti yata'y magpasuri kayo sa mga doktor na dalubhasa sa utak, habang may panahon pa. Ano po!

Ngayon naman ay dadako tao sa ikatlong punto: Ang nauukol sa pagkalipol ng INK, at ang kanila ring PASUGO ang ating gagamitin sa puntong ito.

1. PASUGO Mayo 1961, p. 21:
   Maliwanag sa pag-aaral nating ginagawa sa unahan nito na ang Iglesiang
   itinayo ni Cristo noong unang siglo ay natalikod o ganap na nawala sa ibabaw ng
   lupa. Inagaw nila sa pagsunod sa hulihan ni Cristo."
2. PASUGO Hulyo 1954, p.4:
   Ang mga alagad ni Jesus na dating sumusunod sa hulihan niya ay inihiwalay ninyo sa pagsunod sa Kanya, at pinasunod ninyo sa inyong hulihan. Kaya nawalan ng tao ang Iglesia. Ang natira sa Iglesia'y si Jesus at ang mga salita ng Dios."

3. PASUGO Enero 1964, p. 2:
   

   Sa isang paksang mababasa sa nakaraang labas nitong Pasugo (Disyembre) ay ipinaliwanag kung saan naroon ang Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo noong unang siglo as Jerusalem. Ito ay natalikod. Nalipol na lahat."

Itong mga sinasabi nilang ito ay maraming nailigaw na landas ng Kabanalan. Dahil dito ay inilalahad ko ang mga katibayang magpapawalang saysaysa sinasabi nilang ito at nasusulat din sa kanilang Pasugo gaya nitong mga sumusunod:

(a). PASUGO Mayo 1968,m p. 5:
"Ano ang katangian ng maging Tupa ni Cristo? Sa Juan 10:28 ay ganito ang sabi: 'At sila'y binigyan ko ng walang hanggang buhay, at kailanma'y hindi sila malilipol,
at hindi aagawin ng sinuman sa aking kamay'. Isang dakilang kapalaran ang maging
Tupa o Tauhan ni Cristo sapagkat sila'y binibigyan niya ng walang hanggang buhay
at hindi sila malilipol kailan man."

Idaragdag natin dito ang talata 29, bilang susog sa talatang 28 na ginagamit nila, at ganito ang karugtong:

(29) Ang aking Ama (wika niJesus), na sa kanila ay nagbigay sa akin ay lalong dakila kaysa lahat; at hindi sila maaagaw ninuman sa kamay ng Ama." Ito bang nasusulat na ito sa kanilang PASUGO ay mabubura pa nila? Gayon din itong garantiyang sinasabi ni Jesus hinggil [sa] mga magiging tauhan niya? At higit pa bang paniniwalaan natin itong mga maling aral!

At bilang kalakip nito ay sisikapin pa natin ang isang banggit na nasusulat sa 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."

O ano pa ang ating puntong liliwanagin? Tinatanggap na nilang nananatiling matibay sa aral ng Dios ang mga Apostol ang unang Iglesia ni Cristo. At pagkatapos ay iyan daw ang kanilang pamarisan o dapat gawin. E, gayon pala; bakit sinasabi nilang "ganap na nawala sa ibabaw ng lupa ang mga dating tagasunod ni Jesus, inagaw at nilipol ng mga bulaang propeta." Huwag ninyong gawing sinungaling si Jesus. Malinaw ang kanyang sinabing garantiya na mababasa sa Juan 10:28-29, at inyong ginamit din.

At bago tayo magwakas ay kukuha pa tayo ng isang punto na may kaugnayan din dito.

(b). 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 ibig nilang palitawin dito, ay noong 1914, ay nawala na ang itinayo ni Cristo. Bueno, tingnan natin ang bagay na ito, sapagkat may isang banggit na nasusulat sa 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."

NOTA: Dapat pansinin natin ang katugon na petsa nitong banggit na "kasalukuyan." Ang petsa nito ay noong Abril 1966, sapagkat noon nga napalathala ang sinasabi nilang ito. Kung gayon, maliwanag na hindi pa nawala ang Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo sa Jerusalem noong unang siglo. Bakti? Sapagkat pinapasukan pa rin ni Satanas ng kanyang mga maling aral. Malinaw po ba?

Ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito mga kababayan naming kaanib sa Iglesiang tatag ni Felix Manalo ay pinakikiusapang ipaliwanag at sagutin asna ninyo sa lalong madaling panahon. At kung hindi ninyo kayang sagutin sapagkat tinitiyak kong malalagay kayo sa kahihiyan, ay itigil sana ninyo ang gawaing tungo sa kapahamakan.

Ganito naman ang sinasabi ni Propeta Isaias tungkol sa mga Manunulat katulad nitong tagasulat ng Pahayagang PASUGO. Isaias 10:1-2, ay ganito ang sinasabi: "Sa aba nila na nagpapasya ng mga likong pasya, at ng mga manunulat na sumusulat ng mga kasuwalian. Upang iligaw sa kahatulan ang mapagkailangan, at upang alisin ang katuwiran ng mga dukha ng aking bayan, upang an mga babaeng balo ay maging kanilang samsam, at upang kanilang gawing kanilang huli ang mga ulila".

KABUUAN NG PAKSANG TINALAKAY:

• Si Cristo ang tanging makapagtatayo ng Iglesiang magiging dapat sa Dios, at sinumang tao maging marunong o mangmang ay walang karapatang magtayo ng Iglesia.
  Si Felix Manalo ay tao, kung gayon walang karapatang magtayo ng Iglesia.
• Ang mga aral ng sugo ng Dios ay mula sa Dios. Ang aral ng Iglesia ni Cristo na lumitaw sa Pilipinas noong 1914, ay mula sa sarili ni G. Felix Manalo.
• Nang magipit sa mga unang paninindigan, ay lumukso sa pag-uusig, na kaya raw tunay ang Iglesia ni Cristong kinaroroonan nila ay sapagkat sila raw ay inuusig at pinararatangang demonyo. Datapuwat hindi rin nakaiwas sa pag-ilag, sapagkat pinatunayan ng kanilang magasing PASUGO na ang nang-uusig na ang lahat maliban sa kanila ay pawang sa demonyo o kay Satanas at ang Papa raw ng Iglesia Katolika ang siyang tunay daw na anti-Cristo.
• At ang kahuli-hulihang nilundagan ay pagtalikod o pagkawala raw sa mundo ng Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo sa Jerusalem noong unang siglo at nais nilang palitawin na ang mga lokales lamang ng Iglesia ang itinatag ni Manalo. Ngunit lalo siyang naipit sapagkat wala silang kamalay-malay na naisulat sa magasing PASUGO ang mga tanikalang panakal sa kanilang mga leeg.

Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses Testimonies

I lived in a very remote place in Bulacan where cults and new sects move freely proselytizing cradle Catholics and unbelievers. Even my former friend is a member of the cult Jehovah's Witnesses, an apocalyptic cult founded by Charles Taze Ruzzel, while his good father is a very active Elder but because of his wrong choices of friends and unhealthy lifestyle, I decided to loose break with him. How I wish I could be of help however he's unwilling. With this simple post, I hope those JW who are willing to shell out their old belief and come back to the real fold, would find this article helpful. Please feel free to discover the real Church.

I'd like to share with you a good website where amazing stories of Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses would stir your curiosity why they left Charles Taze Russel's religion and went home to Rome, please point your mouse here!

Fitna the Movie-- How True?

I am deeply saddened if all this film's claims are true and accurate. I am totally against anyone who's against anyone just because his beliefs are different from what he/she believes, whether Jews, Christians or Muslims, or even those religions outside Abrahamic family.

All those who fear God (and love HIM) will you vow before your God that you would demonstrate him as good God and stand for this great and noble cause to world peace!

My brethren Muslims, rise up, stand for true peace and genuine tolerance!
Moderate ones, be counted, be heard!

May God bless Abraham's family.

BIBLICAL EVIDENCE FOR CATHOLICS

A Church in Saudi Arabia? - Time

The first Christian Church in Qatar is a Catholic Church

TIME - Interfaith dialogue has become an important exercise in finding the right words to overcome both extreme violence and ordinary misunderstanding. True progress, however, is best measured in deeds. The inauguration last week of Qatar's first Christian church — a small Catholic chapel bearing neither bells nor visible crosses — has been hailed as a welcome step forward in relations between Catholicism and Islam. But an even more dramatic development is under discussion just across the border: The Vatican has confirmed that it is negotiating for permission to build the first church in Saudi Arabia.

Presiding over the cradle of Islam and home to its holiest sites, the Saudi monarchy has long banned the open worship of other faiths, even as the number of Catholics resident in Saudi Arabia has risen to 800,000 thanks to an influx of immigrant workers from places like the Philippines and India. Mosques are the only houses of prayer in a country where the strict Wahhabi version of Sunni Islam dominates. But Archbishop Paul-Mounged El-Hachem, the papal envoy to the smaller countries on the Arabian peninsula, such as Kuwait and Qatar, has confirmed that talks are under way to establish formal diplomatic relations between the Vatican and Saudi Arabia, and to eventually allow for Catholic churches to be built there. Pope Benedict XVI is believed to have personally appealed to King Abdullah on the topic during the Saudi monarch's first ever visit to the Vatican last November.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Lies and Deceit

All Christian Catholics and non-Catholics who love Jesus the Lord, you have a mission to challenge the errors of the Iglesia ni Cristo’s modern revival of a schism by Nestorius that had been refuted since 431 A.D. by Council of Efesus and the Council of Constantinople II by reviving Jesus’ humanity and worst, denying his divinity when in fact nothing was written in the Bible disproving his divinity.

Every Christian should be aware of how INC ministers are deceiving people to believe in their repeated lies made true by their Bible references as if the Holy Scripture was specifically addressed to them to go with their convenience raising Felix Manalo as an angel and dethroning Jesus to a mere human state rejecting him as God and accepting the more obvious lie about Felix Manalo’s “angelic” status. When it hurts them too deep they twist the Bible.

Every Saturday 8 o’clock in the morning. If you are in the Philippines, turn on your TV and switch your channel to ABS-CBN local channel (Channel 2) and wait for the Iglesia Ni Cristo’s program with Ka Bularan as its usual anchor and another side-kick whose task is to pretend ask ignorant questions (so basic and elementary) attacking Catholic doctrines and local customs and practices. In response, Ka Bularan would give his most intelligent answer without any hint of a sound Theological background from the mainstream Protestant Theology so normally you expect a nonsense explanation from him. Like the rest our separated brethren, they need to back up their claims with Biblical passages to make it appear that what they teaches are authoritative according the Holy Scripture. But is it true? The only purpose? They need to confuse more confused Catholics and once they’re confused, they would turn away from anything “Catholic” and be die-hard defenders of the “church” which Ka Felix Manalo, a self proclaimed “angel” and the founder of the Iglesia ni Cristo in the Philippines in 1914, incorporated it, registered it under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines; a corporation owned and managed by the Manalo clan.

They’re fakes anyway!
Here’s a proof that Catholic practices and teachers are deeply biblical:

1. 
   
   The Holy Mass is a commemoration of Christ’s Paschal Supper written in Mat. 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-27; Luke 22:19-22; 1 Cor. 11:23-34. Supplementary Readings from David MacDonald and Wikipedia
2. 
   
   Divinity of Christ: This topic plays a significant role in the whole history of Christianity convened a Church council in 325 A.D. and the formulation of the Nicene Creed. The obvious Biblical passage we can extract from the Holy Scripture is in John 1:1-- where it was stated that “[I]n the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…”

This simple Biblical equation of Logos [Read Here] was made complicated by Manalo’s followers and those complicated ones such as in Isaiah he made it simple. That’s the old tactic false angels would quote to suit his self-proclamation as something ‘biblical’. You can be friend and subscribe to someone whose blog is solely dedicated to this topic at Logos Made Flesh or Wikipedia’s article on Cristology or better consult help from Wikipedia or Google, that’s what the website was created for.

The simple made complicated doctrines of the INC, here’s a good site created in a PowerPoint style presentation, the complications are made simple and easy to understand [Read The Church that Manalo Built”], it will help you realize their serious ignorance of the Bible and the Church. Hopefully this will help you decide to leave this church at once by God’s grace.

Some, if not all of Catholic doctrines, this bogus claimant to be Christ’s true church either accuse the Church of festival with pagan origin like Christmas or propagating a lie that Purgatory is an “unbiblical” teachings invented by the Catholic Church without pointing any historical fact to prove when it was invented [Read 2 Macc. 12:43-45]. Without reference to other monotheistic religions, in Judaism, Gehenna is a place where souls are being purified and according to some of Jewish traditions, those who died with sin must spend up to a year before they can be released from purgation at Gehenna. While in Islam some Muslims consider hell as temporary state of punishment and eternal damnation for others.

They simply cannot get out of the Catholic Church when they want to prove their teachings. Without the true Church, they cannot hinge any of their teachings to truth, worst they cannot prove what they stand for beyond any doubt. In other words, their teachings cannot exist independently from the more sound teachings of Christ’s true church, the Catholic Church.

Felix Manalo really lied wasn’t he? Watch this YouTube Video, a sample of their intelligence:
Turning the table in opposition to their claims, Christ’s TRUE CHURCH never apostatized. Christ promised that in Mt. 16:16-19 clearly spelled out by Christ as the founder of his Church that “the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it…” [‘shall’ according to Webster is used to express a command or exortation, which is inevitable or seems likely to happen in the future]. This means that Christ’s true Church would STAND from that day on to the next millennium as he promised.

If INC founder and members taught a false teaching of “Total Apostasy” that no historical fact could back up their claims, worst no Bible verse to make us believe it’s true. Should you believe with their lies, it’s implied that they are teaching CHRIST AS A LIAR in Matthew 16. And if Christ NEVER LIED, then definitely Manalo WAS!

In fact their Official Magazine PASUGO published its confirmation that the Catholic Church was the TRUE CHURCH Christ built, PASUGO April 1966, p. 46:
“Ang Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni
Cristo." (The Catholic Church even from the beginning was the Church of Christ)
[Read more of these at The Truth About the Iglesia ni Cristo published by Divine Word Publication]

What about their angel? According to trustworthy sources from the internet, Felix Manalo’s church originated in the Philippines written in the pages of its history, on July 27, 1914; OFFICIALLY registered as a Corporation Sole with Felix Manalo as the Executive Minister [Read Iglesia ni Cristo], whose sole rights belongs to him as its Founder [Read Here].

Since Felix death April 12, 1963, his son Eraño took over its overseer, a normal procedure to family owned corporations or in monarchial form churches, next in line is Erano Manalo.

Also in wikipedia’s Timeline of Christian Missions, the INC of Felix Manalo was never mentioned, a damaging truth about the Church supposedly built by Christ through it’s last Sugo, Felix Manalo.

Here’s the INC Monarchial Line:

Felix Manalo INC Founder, a self-proclaimed ‘Last Sugo’

Erano G. Manalo, INC current Executive Minister, the 5th child of Felix Manalo and Honorata De Guzman. His name comes from what he felt was a “New Christian Era” of which the New Era University was built upon.

Eduardo V. Manalo, is the current Deputy Executive Minister, a grandson of Felix Manalo and is the son of the current Executive Minister Erano G. Manalo.
Christ has nothing to do with their family glorification through their family owned corporation! You must have opened your eyes now and leave the cult at once, with the grace of God!

Verbatim I copied these Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia ni Cristo from Answers.com a summary of a book by Eraño G. Manalo, INC’s current Executive Minister, a fifth child of Felix Y. Manalo. Under "Fact" are my attempts to refute their lies.

According to Minister Manalo,

(1). The words of God are written only in the Bible. The Bible should be the only basis of service to God. This is the truth which will teach man salvation from punishment on Judgment Day.

[Fact: The Catholic Church’s authority made the list of the Bible complete to its present form. The same authority is considering the Iglesia ni Cristo as hoax.]

The Bible & the Catholic Church
First the Church then the NT
Few Facts about the Bible

(2). The Father who created all things is the only true God. There is no Trinity, no three persons in one God.

[Fact: Iglesia ni Cristo ministers can’t explain why they’re using the “Trinitarian Formula” during baptismal rites by immersion] Read more at NewAdvent.org under ‘Form’.

(3). The belief that all churches belong to God is false. Christ founded only one true Church - the Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo).

[Fact: PASUGO April 1966, p. 46:
“Ang Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo." ]

(4). The Church of Christ is the Church that Jesus will save (Acts 20:28 Lamsa) because he made this Church His body and heads it Himself - before God, the Church and Christ are one new man (Eph.2:15 NKJV; Col.1:18 NKJV). This is the reason why Christ is able to answer for the sins of His Church without violating God's law that whoever commits a sin, the same must die for that sin (Dt.24:16). Hence, the belief that salvation can be attained by means of faith in Christ alone, even without membership in the Church of Christ is false. The Church is necessary, not because it saves, but because it is the entity that Christ will save (Eph.5:23 TEV).

[Fact1: PASUGO April 1966, p. 46:
“Ang Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo." Therefore the Catholic Church which they recognize as the true Church, Christ will save it according to Eph. 5:23.

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." (When was INC in the Philippines registered under its Government? It was in July 27, 1914. Truly, the registry confirms Brother F. Manalo as the founder of INC.”)

PASUGO Mayo 1952, p. 4
“Kung ang babalingan ng pag-uusapan ay ang nagtatag, dapat na siya ang may-ari ng itinatag, at sa kanya rin manggagaling ang mga aral at turo na ipinatutupad." (If our focus of discussion is who’s the founder, he should own what he’s founded, and authorized teachings should come from him.”)

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..." (There’s only one who has the authority to build a Church worthy to be God’s. Only the Lord Jesus Christ! No human being, whether wise or fool—has no authority to build…”)

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!" (The true Church of Christ is one only, this is the Church built by Christ. Any church emerging, claiming they too are Church of Christ, these are false and fake!”)

(5). The Church built by Christ during the first century has apostatized (Acts 20:29). It was led away by false prophets which arose in the Church after the time of the Apostles (Mt.24:11 RSV), and those who remained firm in the faith were slain by ravenous wolves (Mt.7:15). The prophesied false teachers who led the Church away were the Catholic priests. They introduced false teachings (1 Tim.4:1,3) into the Church, until the Church became the Catholic Church - a church essentially different from the Church of Christ as described in the Bible.

[Fact: No historical proof. No Biblical verses to prove it! The more than 2,000 years of Christianity and Catholicsm, none can point out total apostasy.]

(6). The apostasy of the Catholic Church from the Church established by Christ in the first century took place with their turning away from the teachings of God taught by Christ and His Apostles (Worship of Images, Mass, Popes and Priests as vicars or successors of Christ, Mediator Saints, Purgatory). Therefore, the apostasy takes place whenever there is a teaching of God the Catholic Church violates. In view of this, all the doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church should be rejected.

[Fact: Felix Manalo can’t accommodate himself with Catholic doctrines. He cannot simply submit himself to its authority so instead he defied and deified himself to a status higher than Christ as mere man and build his own. But fact remains, INC is fake!]

(7). We should not be surprised at the number of churches today that are not of Christ. It is not Christ who established them but the enemy or the devil (Mt.13:24-30,36-39 NKJV). These churches that do not belong to Christ are the Catholic Church and her offspring, the various Protestant denominations and sects. Only one Church belongs to Christ, the Church of Christ.
[Fact: PASUGO April 1966, p. 46:
“Ang Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo."

PASUGO Mayo 1961, p. 4,
“At sino nga ba ang gumagawa ng mga leksiong itinuturo ng mga ministro, maging sa mga pagsamba, mga doktrina o mga Propaganda? Ang Kapatid na Felix Manalo". (And who’s behind the formulation of lessons to be taught by ministers, even to worship, doctrines or propaganda? It’s Brother Felix Manalo.”)

PASUGO Mayo 1963, p. 27:
“Kaya't sa katuparan ng hula, ang lahat ng mga itinuturo ng mga Ministro ng INK sa mga pagsamba, sa mga doktrina, sa mga pamamahayag sa gitna ng bayan, ay si Kapatid na Felix Manalo lamang ang bumabalangkas at at nagtuturo sa kanila." (As a fulfillment of the prophesy, all the teachings taught by the Ministers of INK in worship, doctrines, and preaching in towns, only Brother Felix Manalo is drafting and teaching them.)

(8). Many Protestant groups uphold the belief that faith alone in Christ is sufficient for salvation. They have excluded other conditions such as baptism (Mt.16:15-16), church membership (Jn.10:9,Acts 2:47, 20:28 Lamsa), suffering for Christ's sake (Phil.1:29), works (Js.2:14,17,20), preaching by the messenger of God (Acts 16:32-33), remaining in the true church (Jn.15:5-6), holding firm and obeying the Gospel (1 Cor.15:1-2 NIV) and enduring and remaining until the end (Mt.24:13). Their faith-alone concept of salvation is in direct conflict with the Bible where we can find pronouncements that man is not justified by faith only (Js.2:24).

[Fact: Equally the INC is in direct contradiction with the Holy Scripture. Remember Satan quoted the Holy Scripture to suit his own vile. What do you think of the INC quoting the Bible?]
(9). One should not deny the necessity of one organized church as the Church of Christ.

[Fact: PASUGO April 1966, p. 46:
“Ang Iglesia Katolika na sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo." (The Catholic Church which from the very beginning was the Church of Christ..)

(10). The Church of Christ which emerged in the Philippines in these last days was established by virtue of the fulfillment of the prophecies of God (Isa.43:5 Moffatt) and of Christ (Jn.10:16;Acts 20:28 Lamsa). This is the third group (Acts 2:39) of people in the Church established by Christ. Even the spread of this Church in the Far West (Isa.43:4-6;59:19 NKJV) is a fulfillment of God's prophecy written in the Bible.

[Fact: Biblical Prophesies indeed has taken its fulfillment!

Mt. 16:18 “…[T]he gates of hell will NEVER prevail against [Church of Christ] it…”
Mk. 13:3-8 “…Jesus began to say to [apostles], "See that no one deceives you”.Lk. 21:7-11 “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and 'The time has come.' Do not follow them!”Mt. 7:15-23 “By their fruits you will know them.”Mt. 24:11 “Many false prophets will arise and deceive many.”2 pt. 1-3 2 Pt. 2:1-3 “There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their licentious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled. In their greed they will exploit you with fabrications, but from of old their condemnation has not been idle and their destruction does not sleep.”
1 Jn. 4:1-3 “Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”Gal. 1:8-9 “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach (to you) a gospel other than the one that we preached to you, let that one be accursed! As we have said before, and now I say again, if anyone preaches to you a gospel other than the one that you received, let that one be accursed!”

(11). The messenger of God (Rom.10:15 NKJV) in these last days (Isa.43:6) is Brother Felix Y. Manalo (Rev.7:2-3). It was not he who built the Church of Christ but it was Christ Himself (Mt.16:18) by virtue of the fulfillment of the prophesy (Jn.10:16). Felix Manalo was only utilized by God as His instrument to preach the pure Gospel of salvation in these last days. His authority as God's messenger is clearly stated by various prophecies in Scriptures (Is.41:9-10; Is.46:11-13; Rev.7:2-3). Hence, it behooves man to have faith in the commissioning of Brother Felix Y. Manalo.

[Fact: 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." (When was INC in the Philippines registered under its Government? It was in July 27, 1914. Truly, the registry confirms Brother F. Manalo as the founder of INC.”)

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!" (The true Church of Christ is one only, this is the Church built by Christ. Any church emerging, claiming they too are Church of Christ, these are false and fake!”)

(12). Persecutions cannot be avoided because overcoming it serves as the basis for inheriting the kingdom of heaven (Mt.5:10-12). Thus, whatever kind or extent of persecution a member of the Church of Christ may face, he should not falter or withdraw. He should instead pray to God for assistance in order to overcome religious persecutions.

[Fact: INC are the persecutors! Ask for a copy of their official “Pandoktrina Lessons”, watch their preaching on TV, radio and print like in PASUGO Disyembre 1965, p. 5:
“Kaninong Ministro kung ganyan ang mga Paring Katoliko? Mga Ministro ni
Satanas na Diablo." (Whose Ministers therefore are the Catholic Priests? They are the Ministers of Satan the Evil One.”)

PASUGO Oktubre 1959, p. 5:
“Mga magdaraya at anti-Cristo, ang mga nagtuturong si Cristo ay Dios." (They are deceivers and anti-Christ all those who teaches Christ as God.”)

PASUGO Agosto 1962, p. 9:
“Kaya ang tunay na anti-Cristo, ang mga Papa ng Iglesia Katolika Apostolika Romana. At ang tunay na ampon ng anti-Cristo ay ang mga Katoliko." (Therefore, the true anti-Christ, the Popes of the Apostolic Roman Catholic Church. And the true adopted anti-Christ are the Catholics!)

PASUGO Oktubre 1956, p. 1:
“Ang Iglesia ni Cristo ay nagdaos ng pamamahayag sa Lunsod ng Davao. Nagsalita roon si Kapatid na Felix Manalo at ang kasama niyang mga Ministro. Ipinahayag doon ng mga nagsalita na ang Iglesia Katolika Romana ay hindi itinatag ni Cristo kundi itinatag ng Diablo." (The Iglesia ni Cristo held its preaching in the City of Davao. There, Brother Felix Manalo and his companion Ministers preached. They made the statement that the Roman Catholic Church wasn’t the Church Christ’s built but the Devil’s.”)

(13). The proper way of joining the Church of Christ is that which is done because of faith (Rom.5:2) in God and in Christ (Jn.14:1-2), as well as the recognition and acceptance of the Church and of God's commissioning of His messenger in these last days (Jn.6:29). If the motive for joining the Church of Christ is pure and proper, the man who joins the Church would be able to perform all the commandments and Church disciplines, the performance of which proves that he is a true member of the Church of Christ. He does not easily discouraged and neither does he drew back. Instead, he remains firm in his election.

[Fact: Manalo isn’t original in this teaching. Christ himself sternly warned his disciples of coming false prophets disguishing as prophets or angels. Instead, he promised to remain with them until the ends of time and his Church will never aposticize— Christ’s warning fulfilled in Manalo and His teachings Manalo turned them upside down.]

(14). 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). Christ should be recognized as the Son of God (Mt.3:7), Lord (Acts 2:36), Saviour (Acts 5:31), Mediator (1Tim.2:5), a holy man who did not commit sin (1 Pet.2:21-22). The attributes mentioned here give no indication to His nature which we believe is of a man (Jn.8:40); He is not the true God. (Ezek.28:2) Man should also renounce the belief that Christ is true God and true man (Hos.11:9)

[Fact: Christ is God according to the Holy Scripture. No Biblical verse that says He is NOT God! Manalo and his Ministers cannot even provide one single verse to disprove his divinity. All they use are verses that confirms him as man but does doesn’t negate his divinity at all. As warning, all men and women should also renounce the belief that Manalo is a man and an angel which is biblically unfounded. Fact also remains that only God has the right to be worshipped and if the INC are worshipping Christ as a man ONLY, they are guilty of blasphemy.]

(15). The clear distinctions of Christ from God are proofs that the true God is not Christ. Jesus possesses attributes surpassing the ordinary man, but this does not mean that he is God. God has attributes which we do not find in Christ. If Christ can do wonders such as miracles, all these are done by God, through Him as God's instrument. On his own powers alone, Christ cannot do anything. Christ Himself states, "I can of my own do nothing."

[Fact: Jesus said, ‘Before Abraham came to be, I AM.” -Jn. 8:58 of which the Jews understood him exactly. That’s why they accused him of blasphemy of calling himself the title exclusively for God. Did Christ recanted to their aproar? No! For he is God! ]

(16). Teachers of the "Christ is God" doctrine also use the Bible. But we should not allow ourselves to be deceived by them because we cannot read any text in the Bible where Christ says He is the true God. If that is the case, why do they have biblical texts to prove their contentions? Those biblical texts have been given erroneous interpretations (Jn.1:1,14; Isa.9:6) or wrong meanings (1 Jn.5:20) or even based on verses wrongly translated (Rom.9:5).

[Fact: It is more true that the Bible is silent about their claim that Christ IS NOT God. The Church with no one to claim it’s founder except Christ is accused b a self-problaimed man, ‘Last Messenger’ of “erroneous interpretation (Jn. 1;1,14) when he himself had interpreted the whole Scripture to praise himself!]

(17). It is not enough for man to join or become a member of the Church of Christ to be saved. He should lead a new life, too. Members who lead a new life are truly of Christ and of God. Thus, all sinful ways should be renounced and he should live by the teachings he has received.

[Fact: To this day, none of INC members has received Noble Peace Prize or has achieved any international recognition of such a good life emulating the Lord. Not even Felix Manalo has done miracles to prove his divine origin during his lifetime.

Felix Manalo’s life isn’t extra ordinary, not even considered ‘holy’ life. His way of life was far enough to compare to the lives of Catholic Saints (including the apostles and Christ).
Felix Manalo’s lifestyle and biography is made available through Let Us Reason and a thorough detail is mentioned in Wikipedia-Felix Manalo.

An attempt to make Felix Manalo a “saint” Truth Finder tried to make his story humble and persuasive but it was just too good to be true, biased and unconfirmed since the INC management has no official website to this day.]

(18). Each member of the Church of Christ believes that constant attendance in worship services is one of his obligations. Great blessings accrue to those who constantly attend worship services while great sins are committed by those who disregard this responsibility.

[Fact: INC sense of sin depends on Church attendance for economic reasons. Abortion, adultery, murder, as heinous crime were not even mentioned. Felix was one of those firstly to be chastised for being adulterer and a rapist. Rosita Trillanes was just one among his victims.]

(19). The Church of Christ believes that it is God who gave the command to contribute and give thanksgiving offerings to support the needs of the Church. To fulfill these obligations is to lay up a good foundation for the attainment of eternal life.

[Fact: God has nothing to do with Manalo’s Church. If there’s anything its members donate, it’s for the Manalo clan, stipulated in their registration as a Corporation Sole at Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(20.) The Church of Christ believes that it is the will of God for us to love one another as true brothers and sisters. Hence, if anyone has sinned against us, we should forgive him and we should reconcile with those who are mad at us.

[Fact: They forgive their own members but not members of the Catholic Church. Fierce battle between INC and members of ADD prove otherwise.]

(21). The members of the Church of Christ believe that it is God who forbids the eating of blood and prohibits marriage with those of other faiths. Elopement is an act of disrespect for parents and this is a sin in the eyes of God.

[Fact: INC as owned by Felix Manalo has the least authority to tell anyone of what’s moral and immoral. Felix Manalo himself wasn’t even a moral and upright man to be emulated.]

(22). The Church of Christ believes that baptism is necessary for one to become a disciple of Christ and for the attainment of eternal salvation. But this should be done in accordance with the teachings of the Bible.

[Fact: They cannot assume the autority of the Bible without acknowledging the authoritative body that formulated the Bible. With regard to Baptism as necessary means to “become a disciple of Christ and for the attainment of eternal salvation” Manalo was never baptized in his founded Church thus reducing his rights to be in paradise. If not, then he must be in eternal damnation.]

(24). The Church of Christ believes that each member should do missionary work or share his faith with others. Each one should learn how to pray to God so that he would not weaken in faith and thus be able to resist temptations.

[Fact: The true Church of Christ in the Catechism of the Catholic Church has a thorough explanation about its faith, made available in print and in the web which INC not even have published “Pandoktrina” or a website to spread their “true” church which is contrary to common sense.]

(25). Each member should submit to the Administration placed by God in the Church by means of total agreement with the teachings and rules observed in the Church of Christ.

[Fact: INC Administration headed by the son of Felix Manalo down to the third generation clearly proves its ownership. God and Christ has nothing to do with the Iglesia ni Cristo so its members are not subjected to submit to its Manalo administration rather to submit themselves in obedience to the Magisterium of the true Church founded by Christ as they admitted in their Pasugo.]

(26). The Church of Christ believes that unity is God's teaching and that division within the Church is an evil thing. This unity is implemented by the Church of Christ not only during election time but also in all its works in the service of God.

[Fact: They have condemned themselves. Felix Manalo detached himself from the real Church Pasugo had claimed to be the Catholic Church. And if those who caused division among the Church’s members are evil according to them.]

(27). The Church of Christ believes that God has determined the Day of Judgment which will take place at the second coming of Christ. This is the great day when the Church of Christ will receive the reward promised by God -- the everlasting home for God's chosen people.

[Fact: As earlier stated by Pasugo, the real Church Christ built was the Catholic Church and that this Church will “receive the reward promised by God – the everlasting home for God’s chosen people.]

By now, you are ready to leave Manalo's Corporation disguishing as God's church!
