"Abrahamic religions (also Abrahamism) are the monotheistic faiths emphasizing and tracing their common origin to Abraham or recognizing a spiritual tradition identified with him." source: wikipedia

Itinatag ng ating Panginoong HesuKristo ang kaniyang Iglesia sa Jerusalem na nasa ASYA. Ang Iglesia noong unang siglo ay kalaunay natalikod.


Sa loob ng CHRISTIANITY, alin ang totoong Iglesiang itinayo ni Kristo?

Ang Roman Catholic Church ba na nagmula sa EUROPA?

Ang Protestantism kaya na nagmula kay Martin Luther na nagmula sa EUROPA DIN?

Ang Iglesia ni Cristo kaya sa Pilipinas na naitayo sa pamamagitan ni Ka Felix Manalo base sa propesiya ng banal na kasulatan, na nagmula ASYA?

Kung ang Major Religions of the World, lalo na ang Christianity o ang Iglesiang itinayo ni Kristo sa Jerusalem ay nasa ASYA, saan kaya naroon ang TUNAY na Iglesiang itinayo ni Kristo? Sa Amerika, Sa Europa o sa ASYA?
 

ANONG SA TINGIN NIYO?

Who is worshiped?

Catholics says that they worship only One God but with three person, God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit. They also say that they do not worship idols, or foreign gods besides the One God with three person. They claim that they are not guilty of idolatry and they do not have any act of Idolatry.

The thing is, IS THIS TRUE?


Well, let us see...

San Augustine pueblo de lubao

San Gregorio de Magno

Our Lady of Immaculate Concepcion, Baclayon

San Pedro De Alcantara, Pakil

Church of San Bartolome

Basilica del Sto. Nino, Cebu

Baclayon Church

Sta. Ana de sapa

2.altar - a raised structure on which gifts or sacrifices to a god are made.

Altar
noun 1. an elevated place or structure, as a mound or platform, at which religious rites are performed or on which sacrifices are offered to gods, ancestors, etc.
source: dictionary.reference.com

I thought, only one God with three person are worshiped??? Then, who are those in the retablo? Which they kneel down and pray for when they are having worship services? Are their Saints and their God with three person are of same level, that's why they are all in the retablo?^^


Catholic Altars vs. Pagan Altars: All guilty of Idolatry
If that will be the case, what will be its difference to pagan religions in the world??? Is there any difference?

Buddhist Altar

Hindu Altar

Jain Altar

Sikh Altar



Taoist Altar



Confusian Altar



Shinto Altar

Some of these Pagan Religions claims that they are not idol worshipers like what the Catholic Church is claiming. But their action is contrary to their words, which make them GUILTY OF IDOLATRY.

As of biblical basis, God did not commanded people to make images and so on to be WORSHIPED, that is why those things were destroyed when people began worshiping it.

"You must not have any other gods except me.You must not make for yourselves an idol that looks like anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the water below the land.You must not worship or serve any idol, because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. If you hate me, I will punish your children, and even your grandchildren and great-grandchildren." exo. 20:3-5

Christian Religions in the world

One of the major religions in the world is Christianity, and Christianity is not an specific religion because it is composed of many and different Christian religions. So, you cannot say my religion is Christianity (like what Eric said) its wrong, but you can say "Im a Christian" because it says that you believe on Christ.

To others still doesnt know, Christian religions in the world doesnt count 1-10, 1-20, and so on. I think there are not just hundreds, but thousands of denominations/sects scattered around the world.

I will present to you the list of Christian religions, and there are still many that are not in the list, just for the case here in the Philippines, "Born again" churches/ protestants counting thousand churches here, because every congregation differs from one another even though they said they are ONE as what protestants believed.

For me, there are only 3 main categories on Christian religions, they are: Catholicism, Protestantism and Independent Churches (Churches that are not affiliated with either Catholicism or Protestantism).

But what's on wikipedia is not listed in the way i classified those, so ill just post it,
here it is:



Catholicism

Catholic Church

Main article: Catholic Church

Catholic Church is composed of two rites; one is the western or latin rite, another is the eastern rite (i.e., Eastern Catholic Churches).

The Latin Rite

The Latin Rite or Church^[3] is the largest and most widely known of the 22 Rites that together make up the Catholic Church.

Eastern Catholic Churches

Main article: Eastern Catholic Churches

All of the following are particular churches of the Catholic Church. They are all in communion with the Bishop of Rome and acknowledge his claim of universal jurisdiction and authority. They have some minor distinct theological emphases and expressions (for instance, in the case of those that are of Greek/Byzantine tradition, concerning some non-doctrinal aspects of the Latin view of purgatory).^[4] The Eastern Catholic churches and the Latin church (which together compose the worldwide Catholic Church) share the same doctrine and sacraments, and thus the same faith.

Armenian Catholic Church Belarusian Greek Catholic Church Bulgarian Catholic Church Chaldean Catholic Church Coptic Catholic Church Croatian Greek Catholic Church Ethiopian Catholic Church Georgian Catholic Church Greek Catholic Church Hungarian Greek Catholic Church Italo-Greek Catholic Church Macedonian Catholic Church Maronite Catholic Church Melkite Catholic Church Romanian Catholic Church Russian Catholic Church Ruthenian Catholic Church (usually called the "Byzantine Catholic Church" in the United States) Slovak Greek Catholic Church Syrian Catholic Church Syro-Malabar Church Syro-Malankara Catholic Church Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church

The Catholic Church considers itself the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church that Christ founded.^[5] As such, the Catholic Church does not consider itself a denomination, but as pre-denominational, the original Church of Christ.

Greek Old Calendarists Montenegrin Orthodox Church Macedonian Orthodox Church Russian Old Believers Orthodox-Catholic Church of America (OCCA) Ukrainian Orthodox Church: Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Kiev Patriarchy)

Oriental Orthodoxy

Main article: Oriental Orthodox Church

Oriental Orthodoxy comprises those Christians who did not accept the Council of Chalcedon (AD 451). Other denominations often erroneously label these churches "Monophysite", however, as the Oriental Orthodox do not adhere to the teachings of Eutyches, they themselves reject this label, preferring the term Miaphysite.

Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria British Orthodox Church French Coptic Orthodox Church Syriac Orthodox Church Jacobite Syrian Christian Church Armenian Apostolic Church Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin Holy See of Cilicia Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople Church of Caucasian Albania (extinct) Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church

• The Antiochian Catholic Church in America is theologically aligned with the Oriental Orthodox, but is not in full communion with them, primarily because it ordains women and does not impose celibacy on its bishops.
• Celtic Orthodox Church
• Sassanid Church (no longer in existence)
• Malabar Independent Syrian Church

The Oriental Orthodox Church considers itself to be the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church that Christ founded.

Church of the East

The Church of the East is said to have been formed by St Thomas. The Church did not attend the Council of Ephesus (AD 431). It is incorrectly referred to as the Nestorian Church; Assyrian Christians do not consider themselves Nestorians, and recent Christological agreements with the Catholic and some of the Orthodox churches have resolved this debate permanently, clearing the way for ecumenical relations.

• Church of the East (historical church)
  • Assyrian Church of the East (successor church)
  • Ancient Church of the East (successor church)

The Church of the East considers itself to be the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church that Christ founded.

When you say Catholicism it doesnt only mean its the Roman Catholic Church. Just correct me if im wrong, but what i know is this: Catholicism is composed of Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Catholic Churches (Churches in the East that were affliated with the Catholic Church), Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, and Church of the east.

But if you look on the history, it should be that Catholicism refer to the Catholic Church, only because of the Great Schism, that the Catholic Church split in to two, the Catholic Church (West) and the Eastern Orthodox Church (East).

Latter Day Saints

Main articles: Latter Day Saint movement and Mormonism

See also: List of sects in the Latter Day Saint movement

Most Latter Day Saint denominations are derived from the Church of Christ, established by Joseph Smith in 1830. The majority of "Prairie Saint" denominations were established after the death of Smith by the remnants of the Saints who did not go west with Brigham Young. Many of which rejected some or most of the 1840s theological developments in favor of 1830s theological understandings and practices. The Rocky Mountain denominations are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and various sects who broke from it after its settlement in the Rocky Mountains, many breaking after its abandonment of practicing polygamy in 1890. Other denominations are defined by either a belief in Joseph Smith as a prophet, or acceptance of the Book of Mormon as scripture. Mormonism is generally considered restorationist, believing that Smith, by inspiration and revelation, restored the original Church of Christ to the earth. Some Latter Day Saint denominations are regarded by other Christians as being nontrinitarian, but generally do not accept that label themselves, in contrast to the groups labeled "nontrinitarian" below.
The churches within the Latter Day Saint movement are not recognized as an orthodox Christian denomination, and with the exception of Community of Christ, which is a member communion of the National Council of Churches, are usually rejected as Christian by many Protestants. Mormons, however, strongly oppose this rejection.

Protestantism as we know, composed of denominations, non-denominational and sects. There are many churches in the Protestantism, each having different beliefs, but they believe that they are ONE. Their only similarities are noticed in the 3 main beliefs namely Sola Fide, Sola Scriptura, and the priesthood of all believers.

Take note: Protestantism is a result of split of the Protestant founders within the Roman Catholic Church.

While Independent Churches like Iglesia ni Cristo, Members Church of God International and Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints doesnt considered theirselves as Protestant churches and not affiliated to Protestantism but they are under Christianity.

The relation of New Thought to Christianity is sometimes murky; some of its adherents see themselves as practicing a true or correct form of Christianity, or as doing what Jesus did, while others, in particular, Religious Science says "yes and no" to the question of whether it considers itself Christian leaving it to the individual to define themselves.^[8]
