Statues/Images in the INC

 -->

As I always having a research about the INC, I notice that Catholic defenders criticize, malign, and give different meaning to the images/statues in the INC. Because they say the INC always attack them by having such statues/images in their church somehow they say they just venerate/adore/respect and whatever their explanations they maybe those but not worship it and trait it as another God. Then, they turn backs that truth to the INC and make some lies so that people would think that INC is the one who worship such images/statues, by the way, what’s their accusations? Here:

They say:

* we worship Bro. Felix Manalo/Bro. Erano Manalo as they were sometimes in the front cover of our pasugo magazine issues.

They wonder:

*why our ministers criticize Catholic Church for having images somehow we have pictures of our parents, friends and whatsoever.

*the remains of Bro. Erano Manalo is at the tabernacle.

*we have statue of Bro. Felix Manalo inside the INC Central complex

And many other!

That’s why I can now say that MOST CATHOLIC DEFENDERS in the PHILIPPINES ARE POOR THINKERS AND IN UNDERSTANDINGS! Tsk. Tsk. I pity them especially they are educated in high degree but in understandings, failed!

I didn’t eat the ice cream, why are you looking at me? Im saying the truth!

Wait a minute; this is my question, by looking at the pic. And the statement of the baby, will you believe him?^_^

Its like the Catholic Church, CONTRADICTING HERSELF! They say members or them, do not worship statues images but their act were not agreeing with what they believe. In short, What they SHOW is DIFFERENT to what they SAY!

So, what are the differences of the statues/images of the Catholic Church to the statues/images not only in the INC but also to other ordinary images/statues?

*We do not kneel to it.

*We do not bow down to it.

*We do not pray for it.

*We do not lit candles to it.

*We do not treat it as mediators to God.

*We do not wipe it with towel and believe that it will heal our diseases.

*We do not think it is miraculous.

*We do not make feast for it and offer foods or something.

And last,

*We do not WORSHIP IT or show any act of WORSHIP to it.

What is really the use of statues? For example, statue of Rizal? Is it true that its function is only for people to remember him? That he has contribution to the society and etc? So, the statue of Bro. Felix Manalo is not for the members worship it, EVIDENCE?

Okay. If only those lie makers or Catholic Defenders for short will see the statue of Bro. Manalo in the INC Complex, beside bible verse Rev. 7:2-3, it is also written there,

“Let us always remember the calling of the Messenger but never worship him and his image”

Engraved on the monument’s base, a reminder to all brethren!

About the remains of Bro. Erano Manalo at the tabernacle, lets just quote other people who have a common sense why it is temporarily in the said place.

“Contrary to what we expect, the temporary interment of the remains of Ka Erdy at the tabernacle (while his mausoleum is not yet finished) was devoid of the usual funeral ceremony…”

Celso Lagmay “Sentido Kumon” column, Balita, Sept. 10, 2009

What is the reason again? I will quote the author..

“the temporary interment of the remains of Ka Erdy at the tabernacle (while his mausoleum is not yet finished)…”

Everybody gets the point? Or do I need to repeat it again?^_^

Nobody knows when will a person die, and making a mausoleum is not just 1 or 2 days to be make. So, where would be the remains of Bro. Erano put if the mausoleum is not yet finished? Just everywhere? Huh? That’s why I think Bro. Eduardo just decided the remains be in the tabernacle TEMPORARY for the other brethren who wants to see it just go there and not in the chapel.

I know Catholic Defenders still cannot understand this, maybe we just understand them! For having low memory or maybe evil mind by making such lies^_^

By the way, what really was the teachings of God according to these bowing down, and making act of worship (even deny it and make other meaning of the word ‘worship’ so it not make it to a point and show that they really don’t worship those) and etc? Click on the links.

Idolatry
Make up images?

The result…

Catholic Defenders are failed again in their goal,

TO DECEIVE PEOPLE!
