Imoralidad sa Iglesia ni Cristo?

Ang layunin ng post na ito ay hindi sa kung ano pa man kundi upang ilahad ang katotohanan sa lahat. Ang mga mapapag usapan dito ay pawang reyalidad, mga nangyayari sa totoong buhay. Bago sana natin basahin ang kabuuan nito ay buksan natin ang ating isip, wag maging over sensitive o over reacting. 

Sabi nga sa bibliya:

"makikilala ninyo ang katotohanan, at ang katotohanan ang magpapalaya sa inyo." Juan 8:32

Ang katotohanan ang magpapalaya sa atin. Kaya dapat tinatanggap natin ang katotohanan kahit masakit, dahil ang katotohanan ay katotohananan.

Isa sa nangungunang mga atake ng marami ngayon lalo na sa internet ang sinasabi nilang "imoralidad sa Iglesia ni Cristo". Sinasabi nila, ganyan ba ang tunay na iglesia? may pumapatay, may nanghahalay, gumagamit ng dahas at kung ano ano pa, at kineklaim nyo pang kayo lang ang maliligtas, ganyan ba ang maliligtas?...

Bago natin puntahan yang favorite nilang gawain, ang mag post ng mga litrato ng mga pahayagan kung saan nasangkot ang mga kaanib at mga may tungkulin sa masasamang bagay, gusto ko munang linawin ang TOTOO naming aral, hindi yung ipinipilit ng marami na "ARAL" daw namin kuno na ang intindi kasi nila sa aral ng Iglesia ni Cristo eh kapag nag Iglesia ka automatically maliligtas ka na kahit gumawa ka pa ng masama....


Ang Iglesiang kay Kristo lamang ang maliligtas

Para sa ikaaalam ng karamihan, ang doktrinang "the church is necessary for salvation" o "outside the church there is no salvation" ay hindi imbento ng Iglesia ni Cristo dahil ito po ay nasa bibliya. Katunayan, mismong ang Roman Catholic Church po eh may doktrina ring ganyan:

"The Latin phrase extra Ecclesiam nulla salus means: "outside the church there is no salvation".The most recent Catholic Catechism interpreted this to mean that "all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body."

source: wikipedia

 Ganoon din naman ang Iglesia ni Mr. Soriano, ayon sa kanilang doktrina:

"The Members Church of God International affiliates to the only true church of God first preached in Jerusalem during the 1st century AD and brings the message of salvation to the world. The church of God is the Kingdom of God on earth and is necessary for one's salvation. Those who have heard of the gospel and of the church must join this church in order to be saved."

source: wikipedia

Mga protestante lang naman ang hindi naniniwala na hindi na daw kailangan ng "Church" para maligtas. Pero kung nagbabasa kayo ng bibliya, alam nyo ang tungkol dito.

Ngayon, puntahan natin ang bibliya, ano ba ang sinasabi ng bibliya tungkol dito?

Alam nating lahat na si Kristo ay may itinayong IGLESIA:

"At sinasabi ko sa iyo, ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesya at ang pintuan ng daigdig ng mga patay ay hindi magtatagumpay laban sa kanya." Mat. 16:18

Inihalintulad ang kaugnayan ng Iglesia kay Kristo sa mag-asawa:

"23Sapagkat ang lalaki ang ulo ng kanyang asawa, tulad ni Cristo na siyang ulo ng iglesya, na kanyang katawan, at siyang Tagapagligtas nito.

24 Kung paanong nasasakop ni Cristo ang iglesya, gayundin naman, ang mga babae ay dapat pasakop nang lubusan sa kanilang asawa.               

25 Mga lalaki, mahalin ninyo ang inyong asawa na gaya ng pagmamahal ni Cristo sa iglesya. Inihandog niya ang kanyang buhay para sa iglesya

26 upang ialay ito sa Diyos, matapos linisin sa pamamagitan ng tubig at ng salita.

27 Ginawa niya ito upang ang iglesya ay maiharap niya sa kanyang sarili bilang isang maluwalhating iglesya na walang anumang dungis ni kulubot man upang ito ay maging banal at walang kapintasan.

28 Gayundin naman, dapat mahalin ng mga lalaki ang kanilang asawa tulad ng sarili nilang katawan. Ang lalaking nagmamahal sa kanyang asawa ay nagmamahal sa kanyang sarili.

29 Walang taong namumuhi sa sarili niyang katawan. Sa halip, ito'y kanyang pinapakain at inaalagaan, tulad ng ginagawa ni Cristo sa iglesya.

30 Tayo nga'y mga bahagi ng kanyang katawan.

31 Gaya ng sinasabi sa kasulatan, "Dahil dito'y, iiwan ng lalaki ang kanyang ama't ina, at magsasama sila ng kanyang asawa; at sila'y magiging isa."

32 Ito ay isang dakilang hiwaga na aking inihahayag tungkol sa kaugnayan ni Cristo sa iglesya."

Efe. 5:22-32

Si Kristo ang ulo at ang Iglesia naman ang kaniyang katawan, sinabi rin na si KRISTO ang TAGAPAGLIGTAS nito.

Kung siya ang tagapagligtas ng Iglesiang kaniyang itinayo, ano ang dapat nating gawin? Ano bang sinabi ng ating Panginoong Hesukristo?

  "Ako nga ang pintuan. Ang sinumang pumapasok sa pamamagitan ko'y maliligtas..." Juan 10:9

"Sumagot si Jesus, Ako ang daan, ang katotohanan, at ang buhay. Walang makakapunta sa Ama kundi sa pamamagitan ko." Juan 14:6

Dapat pala nating pasukan si Kristo, pero eto ba yung literal na papasok tayo sa katawan niya? Hindi. Ang ibig sabihin lamang ng mga sinabi ni Kristo MISMO na kailangan ang pag-anib sa kaniyang iglesia upang maligtas, eto nga yung "the church is necessary for salvation" na tinatawag. At kung sinabi niya rin na walang makakapunta sa Diyos, ang AMA, kundi sa pamamagitan NIYA, kayo na mismo ang tatanungin ko, may kaligtasan ba sa labas ng tunay niyang Iglesia?

Eh ano naman ang pangalan ng Iglesiang itinatag ni Kristo?

"Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit has appointed your overseers, to feed the church of Christ which he has purchased with his blood." Acts 20:28 (Lamsa translation) 

"Magbatian kayo ng banal na halik. Bumabati sa inyo ang mga iglesia ni Cristo" Romans 16:16

Bakit naman Iglesia ni Cristo/Church of Christ? 

Bakit hindi Members Church of God International? Bakit hindi One holy catholic apostolic roman church? Bakit hindi Baptist Church? Bakit hindi Jehovas Witnesses? Bakit hindi Lutheran Church? Bakit hindi Orthodox Church? Bakit hindi Methodist Church? Bakit hindi Seventh Day Adventist? at kung ano ano pa...?

Ang sabi sa bibliya:

"Ang Jesus na ito, 'Ang batong itinakwil ninyong mga tagapagtayo ng bahay,

ang siyang naging batong-panulukan.' Sa kanya lamang matatagpuan ang kaligtasan, sapagkat walang ibang pangalan ng sinumang tao sa buong mundo na ibinigay ng Diyos sa mga tao upang tayo ay maligtas." Gawa 4:11-12

Wala palang PANGALAN sa sinuman tao sa buong mundo na SUKAT natin ikaligtas, kundi sa pangalan ng ating tagapamagitan at tagapagligtas na si Hesukristo. Sa kanya LAMANG pala matatagpuan ang KALIGTASAN.

Ngayon, IMBENTO lang ba ng Iglesia ni Cristo ang tungkol sa kaugnayan ng iglesia sa KALIGTASAN NG TAO? Kung hindi pa rin po kayo naniniwala, suggestion ko, basahin nyo po ang New Testament para malaman nyo ang katotohanan. 

Isa pa, hindi porke natupad mo na ang "isa sa mga utos" opo, ang pagpasok sa TUNAY NA IGLESIA ay isa lamang sa mga utos, hindi porke nakapasok na sa tunay na Iglesia LIGTAS AGAD AGAD. Hindi po ganyan ang doktrina sa INC, kailangan pa rin po siyempre ang pagbabagong buhay at paggawa ng kabutihan o pagsunod sa katuran ng Diyos. Inshort, kailangan ng GAWA para maligtas, importante po ang GAWA hindi pananampalataya lamang:

"Anong pakikinabangin, mga kapatid ko, kung sinasabi ng sinoman na siya'y may pananampalataya, nguni't walang mga gawa? makapagliligtas baga sa kaniya ang pananampalatayang iyan" Santiago 2:14

"Imoralidad sa Iglesia ni Cristo"

Sasabihin ng ilan, oh sige, tanggap ko na na may kaugnayan ang iglesia sa kaligtasan, pero kahit kailan hindi ko matatanggap na ililigtas ni Kristo ang Iglesia nyo dahil may mga myembro kayo na gumagawa ng masama!

Una, gusto ko pong klaruhin na hindi porke nag Iglesia ni Cristo ka ay AUTOMATICALLY ligtas ka na o maliligtas ka kahit gumagawa ka ng masama at kahit hindi mo sinusunod ang aral sa INC. Wala po kaming doktrinang ganyan.

Para sa akin, may dalawang uri ng myembro sa Iglesia ni Cristo, isang TUNAY at isang PEKE.

Ang tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo ay sumusunod sa mga aral nito na aral naman ng Diyos, siya ay nagbabagong buhay at isinasabuhay ang lahat na kaniyang natutunan sa pagka INC. Ang peke na myembro sa Iglesia ni Cristo, ay yung Iglesia ni Cristo lang sa pangalan, kumbaga sa membership lang siya Iglesia ni Cristo pero sa totoo at sa loob loob niya eh hindi naman niya sinusunod ang aral at hindi rin siya nagbabagong buhay. 

Kaya ang maliligtas ay yung mga TOTOO AT TUNAY NA IGLESIA NI CRISTO, at hindi yung mga peke.

Pangalawa, hindi rin po porke Iglesia ni Cristo ka eh PERPEKTO ka na, na hindi ka na nakakagawa ng masama, na puro kabutihan lang ang ginagawa. Hindi rin po porke sumasamba kami 2 beses sa isang linggo eh mga BANAL na kami. Hindi po ganun yon.

Sabi nga sa bibliya:

"Kung sinasabi nating tayo'y walang kasalanan, dinadaya natin ang ating sarili at wala sa atin ang katotohanan. Subalit kung ipinapahayag natin sa Diyos ang ating mga kasalanan, maaasahan nating patatawarin tayo ng Diyos sa mga ito, at lilinisin tayo sa lahat ng ating kasalanan, sapagkat siya'y tapat at matuwid. Kung sinasabi nating hindi tayo nagkakasala, ginagawa nating sinungaling ang Diyos, at wala sa atin ang kanyang salita." I juan 8-10

Lahat ng tao ay makasalanan: 

"Ano ngayon? Ang kalagayan ba nating mga Judio ay mas mabuti a kaysa sa mga Hentil? Hindi! Tulad na nga ng aming sinabi, ang lahat ng tao ay makasalanan, maging Judio o Hentil man. Ayon sa nasusulat, "Walang matuwid, wala kahit isa." Roma 3:9-10

 Si KRISTO po lamang ang taong hindi nagkasala:

"Ang pagtitiis ng hirap ay bahagi ng pagkatawag sa inyo ng Diyos, sapagkat nang si Cristo ay magtiis para sa inyo, binigyan niya kayo ng isang halimbawang dapat tularan. Hindi siya gumawa ng anumang kasalanan, o nagsinungaling kailanman." I ped. 2:21-22

Kapag sinabi po namin na lahat ng tao ay nagkasala (wala naman sigurong tututol) hindi namin sinasabi na OKAY lang magkasala, hindi excuse yon para gumawa ng masama. Ang punto doon eh hindi maiiwasan ng tao ang magkasala pero kahit ganoon, dapat manaig pa rin ang paggawa ng kabutihan.

Pangatlo, pag sinabi naming kami lang ang maliligtas (o Iglesia ni Cristo lang ang maliligtas) hindi namin sinasabing LAHAT ng hindi Iglesia ni Cristo ay AUTOMATICALLY MAPUPUNTA AT MAPAPARUSAHAN SA DAGAT-DAGATANG APOY.

Panghuli, wala pong doktrina sa Iglesia ni Cristo ang nagsasabing wag ka magbagong buhay, gumawa ka ng masama, wag mong susundin ang turo sa iglesia na nasa bibliya, magnakaw ka, manghalay ka, pumatay ka, maglasing ka, at kung ano ano pa. 

Kung kayo po ay makakakita ng mga INC members na nasa gawang masama, hindi po ito "bunga ng BANAL na aral ng Iglesia ni Cristo" kung sabihin ng ilan, walang aral at walang utos sa Iglesia ni Cristo ang ginawa nila, kundi NILALABAG nila ang aral ng iglesia.

Kaya nga ayon na mismo sa isang hindi INC member:

"The Iglesia teaches a regimented lifestyle. The church has an all-Filipino leadership and has a close-knit authoritarian organization. Church attendance is checked. Nonattenders are visited by the deacons. Ex-communication is practised. Causes that lead to the severance from the church include excessive drinking, immorality, gambling, marriage outside the church, apostacy and disagreement with administrative policies.

Julita Reyes Sta. Roman comments: "The Iglesia pays attention to every little thing and it requires a lot of patience, tact, and courage from the deacons and ministers. It is the duty of and business of local unit officials and even members to watch the behaviour of co-members and report anything they observe, see, or hear to the deacons. Whatever the problems or troubles are the deacons will try their best to resolve."

Ang mga kapatid na nasusumpungan sa pagsuway o masasamang gawa ay kinakausap, pinapayuhan, at pinapaalalahanan sa mga katuruan ng Diyos. At kung hindi na siya makaya ng mga maytungkulin sa Iglesia pagkatapos ng paulit ulit na pagsaway, ayon na rin mismo sa bibliya:

"God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.” I Cor. 5:13 

Kaya sana simula ngayon ay wag tayong manghuhusga na porke may mga INC members na gumagawa ng masama ibig sabihin sa demonyo agad ang INC, sa halip na ang mga gawa ng mga myembro ang tawaging "sa demonyo" eh sinasabi nila at dinadamay ang pangalan ng Iglesia ni Cristo na sa demonyo. Hindi po nirerepresenta ng ilang myembro o maytungkulin o ministro ang Iglesia ni Cristo, porke may ginawa silang masama eh magrereflect na sa church as a whole.

Puntahan na natin ang favorite nilang gawin, ang pagpapakalat sa internet ng mga pictures ng mga pahayagan kung saan nasangkot ang mga myembro ng INC, at sasabihin nila na "ganito pala sa Iglesia ni Cristo" o kaya naman ay "ganyan talaga yang mga Iglesia ni Manalo, mga mamamatay tao, mga rapist, masasamang tao etc." 

Dahil lang mayroong ilang mga kaanib ang nasangkot eh dinadamay ang IGLESIA as a whole? tsk

Sinerch ko ang lahat ng ito, opo, LAHAT na larawan ng pahayagan na kanilang ikinakalat kung saan nasangkot sa masasamang gawa ang mga myembro ng Iglesia ni Cristo. Ito po ay para ipakita at ipatunay sa inyo na pawang mga katotohanan lang ang aking sinasabi at sa katotohanan ako. Pagbigyan na natin ang mga asar na asar sa INC, makikita kasi nila sa mismong INC blog, alam na alam kong tuwang tuwa sila, dun sila kasi nasisiyahan...

O sige pagbibigyan ko kayo wag kayong mag alala, game, magpalakpakan na at magalak na, na parang walang bukas... (napaghahalataan tuloy)

Sasabihin ng ilan, "Bakit ganyan? Bat may Iglesiang ganyan??!"

Hindi ko na sasagutin ang tanong na yan. Ilalahad ko na lang ang FACTS.

Facts:

Walang isang Iglesia ni Cristo ang PERPEKTO.
Lahat ng Iglesia ni Cristo, mapa myembro, maytungkulin, ministro at iba pa ay nagkakasala.
Walang aral sa Iglesia ni Cristo ang nagsasabi at nag uutos na gumawa ka ng masama.

Walang taong hindi nagkasala. (pwera sa ating Panginoong Hesukristo)
Walang relihiyon sa buong mundo na walang miyembro ang HINDI NAGKASALA.
Walang relihiyon sa buong mundo (pwera mga kulto) ang nagsasabi at nag uutos na gumawa ang kanilang myembro ng masasama.


Sa katunayan, ang mismong may kagagawan ng pagpapakalat na ito, ang Iglesia ni Mr. Soriano, hindi nila maidedeny na mismong lider nila eh maraming eskandalong naisapahayagan, at opo, sinearch ko rin ang mga yon. At sa pagsesearch kong yon napatunayan na di hamak na mas sikat si Mr. Soriano kesa sa mga INC members na nasangkot sa mga masasamang gawain, paano ko nasabi? 

Eto po:

At hindi lang si Mr. Soriano ang nasangkot sa mga masasamang gawain ng kahalayan, kundi pati ang kaniyang mga myembro.

Eto po:

CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — Several unlicensed guns and undetermined pieces of ammunition were seized by combined police operatives of the Quezon City Police District and Apalit police during a raid at the temple of Eli Soriano’s "Ang Dating Daan" in Barangay Sampaloc, Apalit, Pampanga Monday evening.

In his report to Senior Superintendent Leonardo Espina, Pampanga provincial police director, Chief Inspector Mar Dayag, Apalit police chief, said the seized items include a bodyguard model caliber 30 shotgun, two pieces of caliber .38 revolvers and caliber .30 and M1 winchester rifle from the room of a certain Abner Martizano, reportedly an ADD minister and staying in one of the rooms located inside the compound.

Espina said the raiding team led by Quezon City Warrant and Subpoena Section personnel and members of the local police and Special Weapons and Tactics team, went to the temple to serve the warrant of arrest issued by the Midsayap, North Cotabato Regional Trial Court against Martizano for an alleged rape case.
But the raiding team failed to find Martizano and instead took with them several firearms and ammunition found inside his room.

Retired police Col. Domingo de Guzman, chief security officer of the ADD, assailed the raiding team for an "overkill" in its show of force and violation of the proper procedure in serving an arrest warrant.

He said the actuation made by the raiding team was a gross violation of human rights.

"We were deprived of our rights by the policemen who were all dressed in full-battle-gear. Our temple is not a haven of criminals, why should these policemen act like they’re going to war," De Guzman stressed.

He said the firearms seized by the police were service firearms of the security guards detailed at the main gate and the Larlin gate. The raiding team also took the audio recorder of the security cameras before they left on board L300 vans.
De Guzman reported the incident and had it on record at the office of the 3rd Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (3CIDU).

He said the ADD is planning to file criminal charges in court against the raiding team.

Soriano was not around during the raid and was attending a Bible Expo and the 25th anniversary celebration of the ADD at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City, said De Guzman.

Report: Protestant Church Insurers Handle 260 sex abuse cases a year

The three companies that insure the majority of Protestant churches in America say they typically receive upward of 260 reports each year of young people under 18 being sexually abused by clergy, church staff, volunteers or congregation members.

The figures released to The Associated Press offer a glimpse into what has long been an extremely difficult phenomenon to pin down — the frequency of sex abuse in Protestant congregations.

Religious groups and victims’ supporters have been keenly interested in the figure ever since the Roman Catholic sex abuse crisis hit five years ago. The church has revealed that there have been 13,000 credible accusations against Catholic clerics since 1950.

Protestant numbers have been harder to come by and are sketchier because the denominations are less centralized than the Catholic church; indeed, many congregations are independent, which makes reporting even more difficult.

Some of the only numbers come from three insurance companies — Church Mutual Insurance Co., GuideOne Insurance Co. and Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Co.

Together, they insure 165,495 churches and worship centers for liability against child sex abuse and other sexual misconduct, mostly Protestant congregations but a few other faiths as well. They also insure more than 5,500 religious schools, camps and other organizations.

The companies represent a large chunk of all U.S. Protestant churches. There are about 224,000 in the U.S., according to the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, although that number excludes most historically black denominations and some other groups, which account for several thousand congregations.

Church Mutual, GuideOne and Brotherhood Mutual each provided statistics on sex abuse claims to The Associated Press, although they did not produce supporting documentation or a way to determine whether the reports were credible.

The largest company, Church Mutual, reported an average of about 100 sex abuse cases a year involving minors over the past decade. GuideOne, which has about half the clients of Church Mutual, said it has received an average of 160 reports of sex abuse against minors every year for the past two decades.

Brotherhood Mutual said it has received an average of 73 reports of child sex abuse and other sexual misconduct every year for the past 15 years. However, Brotherhood does not specify which victims are younger than 18 so it is impossible to accurately add that to the total cases.

Abuse reports do not always mean the accused was guilty, and they do not necessarily result in financial awards or settlements, the companies said. The reports include accusations against clergy, church staff and volunteers.

Even with hundreds of cases a year “that’s a very small number. That probably doesn’t even constitute half,” said Gary Schoener, director of the Walk-In Counseling Center in Minneapolis, a consultant on hundreds of Protestant and Catholic clergy misconduct cases. “Sex abuse in any domain, including the church, is reported seldom. We know a small amount actually come forward.”

Tom Farr, general counsel and senior vice president of claims for GuideOne, based in West Des Moines, Iowa, said most abuse cases are resolved privately in court-ordered mediation. Awards can range from millions of dollars down to paying for counseling for victims, he said.

One of the largest settlements to date in Protestant churches involved the case of former Lutheran minister Gerald Patrick Thomas Jr. in Texas, where a jury several years ago awarded the minister’s victims nearly $37 million (euro28 million). Separate earlier settlements involving Thomas cost an additional $32 million.

When insurance companies first started getting reports of abuse from churches nearly two decades ago, the cases usually involved abuse that happened many years earlier. But over the past several years, the alleged abuse is more recent, which could reflect a greater awareness about reporting abuse, insurance companies said.

Insurance officials said the number of sex abuse cases has remained steady over the past two decades, but they also said churches are working harder to prevent child sex abuse by conducting background checks, installing windows in nurseries and play areas and requiring at least two adults in a room with a child.

A victims’ advocacy group has said the Southern Baptists, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, could do more to prevent abuse by creating a list of accused clergy the public and churches could access.

“These are things people are entitled to know,” said Christa Brown, a member of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, who says she was sexually abused as a child by a Southern Baptist minister. “The only way to prevent this crime is to break the code of silence and to have absolute transparency when allegations are raised.”

At the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting in San Antonio this week, the Rev. Wade Burleson proposed a feasibility study into developing a national database of Southern Baptist ministers who have been “credibly accused of, personally confessed to, or legally been convicted of sexual harassment or abuse.”

A convention committee referred Burleson’s motion to the SBC executive committee, which will report back with findings and a recommendation at next year’s meeting in Indianapolis.

Southern Baptist President Frank Page said leaders are considering several options to help churches protect children against abuse.

“We believe that the Scripture teaches that the church should be an autonomous, independent organization,” Page said. “We encourage churches to hold accountable at the local level those who may have misused the trust of precious children and youth.”

Several years ago, the Baptist General Convention of Texas, which represents moderates who have increasingly distanced themselves from the conservative-led Southern Baptists, started a list of accused clergy for churches, but not the public. Under pressure from victim advocates, the Texas group just released the names of some convicted sex offenders who may have been ministers in local congregations.

Joe Trull, editor of Christian Ethics Today and retired ethics professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, helped the Texas convention create its registry and says there are now about 11 cases involving clergy abuse with minors.

But he believes these are just the “tip of the iceberg” because churches don’t have to report abuse cases to the registry and aren’t likely to.

“The problem we’re having is that churches just weren’t sending the names,” Trull said. “In the normal scenario, they just try to keep it secret. We’re going to have to be more proactive and let them know if they don’t come forward, they’re helping to perpetuate this problem.”

Eh ang Roman Catholic Church?

Naku, alam na alam na natin ang tungkol sa mga abuse cases nila! 

Kelangan ko pa bang patunayan? ^^

Oh sige, para sa mga di nakakaalam, hindi balita ang ilalagay ko kundi kung ano ba ito, dahil WORLDWIDE po itong usapin na ito kaya imposible ring hindi alam ng buong mundo ang mga ginawa ng mga pari, bishops, at iba pa...

"The Catholic sex abuse cases are a series of convictions, trials and investigations into allegations of child sexual abuse crimes committed by Catholic priests and members of Roman Catholic orders against children as young as 3 years old with the majority between the ages of 11 and 14. These cases included anal sex, and oral penetration, and there have been criminal prosecutions of the abusers and civil lawsuits against the church's dioceses and parishes. 

Many of the cases span several decades and are brought forward years after the abuse occurred. Cases have also been brought against members of the Catholic hierarchy who did not report sex abuse allegations to the legal authorities. It has been shown they deliberately moved sexually abusive priests to other parishes where the abuse sometimes continued.This has led to a number of fraud cases where the Church has been accused of misleading victims by deliberately relocating priests accused of abuse instead of removing them from their positions."

Imoralidad sa Iglesia ni Cristo: TINOTOLERATE BA?

Ito ang isa sa mga masasabi kong bagay na magaling sa INC, hinding hindi tinotolerate ang mga masasamang gawa ng mga myembro, maytungkulin at kahit pa mga ministro. Lalo na ngayon, napakastrikto at napakahigpit na ng pamamahala sa mga paglabag, tanungin nyo pa lahat ng kapatid sa INC.

Halimbawa na lang ang pag-aasawa sa tagasanlibutan, dati ang alam ko pag nakabuntis o nabuntis ng di kapananampalataya pwede pang solusyunan, papadoktrinahan yung boyfriend o girlfriend, ngayon iba na, automatic ITITIWALAG agad. Ito po ay base sa aking nalalaman (pwede akong icorrect ng mga kapatid). At kahit pa INC member to INC member, basta hindi pa kasal at nabuntis o nakabuntis ay itinitiwalag na. Isama na rin diyan ang mga naglilive in.

Ganyan kahigpit ngayon. Mahigpit din sa mga maytungkulin, manggagawa lalo na sa ministro kahit dati pa, at lalong lalo na sa pananalapi. Lahat ng ulat dapat accurate, at dapat naipapasa on time, hindi pwedeng may mali sa mga resibo kundi mananagot ang pananalapi damay na ang ministro doon.

Kaya nga sa lektura ng Ka Erano Manalo dati na ginagamit ng mga kampon ni Mr. Soriano ngayon, ano ba ang kaniyang sabi?

 "Kaya hilingin natin sa Dios, sa ating muling pananalangin na sana'y mabuksan ang ating pag-iisip. 'Wag ninyong tanggapin ang mga salitang ito na paris ng salitang kapagdaramdam ang sabi nga ni Pablo. Tanggapin sana ninyo na ang mga salitang 'yan, siyang kailangan natin, siyang gamot sa matinding sakit na maa-aring pumatay sa atin at sa iglesia. 

Pagkatapos hilingin nating tayo'y kasangkapanin ng Dios para ito'y makarating sa lahat ng kaliit-liitang manggagawa. At hinihiling ko sa Dios, 'yung mga manggagawang tapat lalo na iyong mga manggagawang ginugugol ang buhay nila sa paglalakbay para makarating sa destino, at ang kanilang buhay ay talagang nakahandog na sa Dios!...Iyon ay pagpalain. Pagpalain ng Dios kung hindi ko man sila nakikita, kung hindi ko man nasiyasat ang kanilang mga kalagayan ...sa dami nga ng nagkatabun-tabong mga ulat, pero ang Dios...hinihiling ko sa kanya...itindig 'nya ang mga tapat na manggagawa. Basbasan 'nya, palakasin 'nya! Kung hindi man maging sagana sa buhay na ito't maaring ikahiwalay pa 'nya, makatapos manlang siya ng takbuhin...ang iglesia'y madala 'nyang karapat-dapat..." 

"Pero gusto kong maging saksi ang mga kapatid nating buhay ngayon, lalo na ang mga...nakakita ng hirap at sakit ng sugo at 'tsaka ng iglesia na...hindi natin kukunsintihin ang ganitong masamang gawa. Puputulin natin 'yan, sukdulang walang mai-sugo ako sa pag-samba. Hihilingin ko sa Dios na siya ang gumawa ng paraan...pero hindi ko papayagan na kaylanpaman at pagkatapos ng pulong na ito ay maka...silip ako ng isa pang katiwalian, hindi ako papayag na hindi putulin 'yon...Pero sa paghahangad ko mga kapatid na...mabuhay pa kayo, maitayo pa kayo, magamot pa 'yan...kaya ako nagsalita ng buong tindi sa klaseng ito..."

Sa amin hindi tinotolerate at hindi pinapalagpas ang mga bagay na masasama kahit pa sa kaliit liitang bagay.

Eh sa Roman Catholic Church kaya, ano ba ang ginawa ng kanilang dating Pope Benedict XVI?

Kayo na po ang humusga.

Ang punto ng post kong ito ay hindi para tumakas sa katotohanang may mga INC members ang nagkamali at nagkasala kaya nagpost din ako tungkol sa Iglesia ni Mr. Soriano, sa Roman Catholic Church at sa mga Protestante. Hindi ganoon ang layunin ko. Ang layunin ko ay upang mabuksan ang inyong ISIPAN na kahit kaming mga Iglesia ni Cristo ay nagkakasala din tulad ng marami dahil mga tao lang din naman kami tulad nyo, na kahit pa iclaim namin na ang INC lang ang maliligtas base sa bibliya, hindi nun ibig sabihin na LAHAT NG INC MEMBER maliligtas kahit gumagawa ng masama.

Ayon nga sa bibliya:

 "Ngunit ang mananatiling tapat hanggang wakas ang siyang maliligtas" Mat. 24: 13

Kung sino ang mananatiling TAPAT, tapat sa pagsunod sa aral ng Diyos hanggang wakas ay ang siyang maliligtas.

Saan ba mapupunta ang masasama?

"But cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, the immoral, those who practice magic, those who worship idols, and all liars—the place for them is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." Rev. 21:8

Kasama pala ang sumasamba sa mga diyos diyosan, oh, ingat po!^^



Kaugnay na post: Pag Iglesia ni Cristo ba ang relihiyon ng isang tao ibig sabihin perpekto na ang lahat lahat sa kaniya?

Pang-aabuso ng MCGI sa copyright act

Kelan ko lang nabasa ang "terms of use" sa website ng Iglesia ni Mr. Soriano, icocopy paste ko na sana yung content dun about restrictions sa copyright para mabasa nyo pero naisip ko baka ireport na naman nila ko, yun na kasi ang latest style nila ngayon sa internet, ang magreport ng mga blogs, websites, facebook accounts and fanpages, youtube videos and accounts at iba pa. 

Hindi tulad dati na ang iingay nila masyado, kung ano anong kasamaang ginagawa nila sa internet sa mga kalaban nilang relihiyon lalo na sa Iglesia ni Cristo at patuloy pa rin naman nilang ginagawa ang masasamang gawain na iyon pero kung ikukumpara natin ngayon, mas kokonti na lang. 

Ipinapaalalahanan ko ang lahat, kahit hindi INC member, na mag ingat sa paggamit sa mga materials galing sa MCGI o kahit materials galing sa ADD members tulad ng links, photos, contents, videos, audios, at iba pa. Dahil kapag nakita nila halimbawa sa iyong blog/website/etc. ang photo ni Mr. Soriano na alam nilang sa kanila galing ay irereport ka nila ng DMCA complaint o Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint, eto yung version ng Copyright Act sa internet.

Para mas malaman nyo ang tungkol dito, isearch nyo na lang ito sa google.

Para sa akin, wala namang masama kung IREPORT nila ang mga sa tingin nilang umaabuso sa kanilang "terms of use" pero yung magrereport sila ng mga videos o materials na HINDI NAMAN SA KANILA, ITOY ISANG PANG AABUSO!

Siguro alam niyo na ang tinutukoy ko, eto kasing mababait na ADD members ni Mr. Soriano ay nagrereport ng mga videos sa youtube na HINDI NAMAN SA KANILA, kaya yung mga youtube accounts ng mga kapatid ay nasususpend o nadedelete dahil sa mga FALSE COPYRIGHT COMPLAINTS NG MGA ITO.

Ito na ngayon ang kanilang latest na style para patahimikin ang lahat ng kumakalaban sa kanila, katulad ko, nireport nila ang 4 kong articles dito pero nilabanan ko sila, nag submit ako ng counter notification dahil mga PEKE ang kanilang mga complaints. Suspetsa ko rin sila ang may dahilan kung bakit nagsara dati ang blog ng pari na si Mr. Abe na "The Splendor of the Church", at sa mga videos sa youtube, obvious na SILA ANG MAY KAGAGAWAN dahil yung username ng nagreport ay sa mga ADD members.


Paano ang dapat gawin kung nireport ka ng false copyright infringement claim?

Isa lang ang masasabi ko, LABANAN MO! Dahil hindi lang sila ang may karapatan, kundi tayo rin!

Eto ang procedure para sa YOUTUBE

Kapag under sa google ang service na ginagamit mo tulad ng blogger, eto ang para sa GOOGLE

Kung sa Facebook naman, sorry po pero nireremove agad nila o dinedelete yung content at hindi na nila binibigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga nireport ng copyright infringement na makapag counter notification pa.

Para naman sa iba pa tulad ng multiply, isearch nyo na lang po sa google.

Paalala: Seryoso po ang usapang ito dahil batas ang pinag uusapan dito, bago kayo mag counter notification, pag aralan nyo munang mabuti ang tungkol sa DMCA policy ng kung anong service ang ginagamit niyo tulad ng youtube, at isearch nyo rin kung paano ba o ano bang dapat ilagay sa counter notification form.

Kapag naisend nyo na yung counter notification, may mag eemail sa inyo na nareceive na nila ang email nyo, mag aantay kayo ng mga 15 days dahil ito ang palugit nila para sa kung sino mang nagreport na magsampa ng kaso sa korte sa California, pag wala silang natanggap na email na nakapagsampa na ang nagreport sa korte, doon lang nila ibabalik yung naremoved na content sa inyong accounts.

Former Members Church of God international blog opens!

In this day, formermemberschurchofgodinternational.blogspot.com is now officially open and available in the web!

I build this blog to COUNTER the still running television program of MCGI of Soriano called "D Xman" which the hosts, as you can observe, they do not EXPOSE(reveal facts) teachings of the INC but rather MOCK and laugh at INC doctrines. Try to watch even just 1 of their episodes in UNTV 37, that's being unprofessional as anyone can observe. It is unfair that the counter program "Ang mga nagsi-alis sa samahang ang dating daan" is not anymore broadcasted in television, as it answer the created ATTACKS of the church of Soriano.

The purpose of my newly made blog is not to shame MCGI members or i am campaigning hatred to them or to invent, attack and create lies. My purpose is sincere: For them to EXAMINE THEIR DOCTRINES.

Hope you support my new blog!^^

Eliseo Soriano's sister in law converted to Iglesia ni Cristo

She is Sis. Lourdes Pernito, a former ADD church worker and more importantly Eliseo Soriano's sister in law converted to Iglesia ni Cristo. Watch her revelations about Soriano and his founded church.

Central in Apalit vs. Central in Diliman

Ive read a funny "theory" of a member (CEMANES Writes) who wrote and spread the lie he/she created, the title is "Central in Apalit of Ang Dating Daan vs. Central in Diliman of Iglesia ni Cristo, Not a coincidence but preordained."

Of course, as what expected, bias on his/her religion MCGI as he/she "compared" the two religion and jumping to his/her "theory".

Let us see what CEMANES Writes ' "theory":

The author would like to give the readers a panorama of what is Central in Apalit and Central in Diliman:

Central in Apalit of the Ang Dating Daan (ADD)
This is the Convention Center of the Members Church of God International (MCGI), popularly known as Ang Dating Daan (ADD). It is the place where they hold Thanksgiving to God, various activities and very important events in their congregation. The Presiding Minister of MCGI is Bro. Eliseo F. Soriano and the Vice-Presiding Minister is Bro. Daniel S. Razon. It is located in the heart of the Municipality of Apalit, Pampanga, where majority of the residents of this place are poor families.

Central in Diliman of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC)
This is the Central Office of the Church of Manalo, popularly known as Iglesia ni Cristo (INC). The owners of this Church are the Manalo family, a corporation sole, now headed by Mr. Eranio Manalo. It is located in Diliman, along Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, where majority of the residents of this place are rich, educated, famous politicians and businessmen as shown by the facts in the records of the Mayor’s Office of Quezon City, called as the wealthiest City in the Philippines for having the highest collection of taxes.

Definition of Terms Apalit
A word idem sonans or same sounding with “Up-A-Lit”. “Up” means of a high level or heavenly as people points their fingers up, whenever they want to declare something higher/heavenly. “A-Lit” is “a light”, connotes brightness related to heaven or heavenly bodies like the sun, moon and the stars and the shining armor of God.

Diliman
This is taken from the root word “dilim”, a Tagalog or Pilipino term referring to darkness/night. Diliman means in English as dark place or place of darkness. Darkness is descriptive of a place where there is no light but total darkness.

The Theory
Having defined the significant terms of this article, we can now explore in our minds supported with the succeeding facts and circumstances how this author arrived at the theory that the places where the two “Centrals” of two opposing religious organizations, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) or popularly known as “Ang Dating Daan” (ADD), in english The Old Path (TOP) and the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), in this end times where situated, are not just a coincidence but preordained.

Facts and Circumstances
These two religious organizations are exactly opposite from each other in many ways, such that, one can be accepted as “from the light” and the other one as “from darkness.”

As the succeeding facts and circumstances will be presented to the readers, we will use ADD and INC to shorten the presentation as we go further in our discussions. To enumerate the basis of this author, among others, the following are the most apparent and pragmatic comparison based on notorious facts, actual research, interviews and observations, to wit:

God vs. Man
The Central in Diliman, INC for short, believes that Jesus Christ is just a man. On the other hand, the Central in Apalit, ADD for short, believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, thus, Jesus is a God and not just a man.


Physical vs. Spiritual Lavishness
Apparently, the INC is wealthy as manifested by their luxurious and grandiose places of worship and residential buildings for free occupancy by their workers and church officers not to mention the sumptuous palace where the Manalo’s are comfortably residing and not that visible to the public view

On the other hand, the ADD place of worship is an unfinished building or edifice. For a long time already, it remains unfinished due to scarcity of funds. Their Locales or places of worship are mere rented humble spaces, comparable during the times of Jesus Christ where in order to meet the apostles and their followers, most of the times they gather in rented spaces or even just stay outside, under the heat of the sun because they have no money and permanent places to go or lay their heads.

Holy Supper
The INC celebrates their Holy Supper in the morning, whereas, ADD celebrates theirs in the evening, as to what the word supper connotes which should be after dusk or after sunset or end of the day and as what the Scriptures dictates

Treatment for Non-members
The INC believes that non-members of their church are already destined or bound to go to hell. Whereas, the ADD believes that non-members are dependent for the mercy of God’s justice. Thus, they are not necessarily bound to go to hell but will still have hope for God’s mercy.

Characters of members
In the INC, once a person becomes a member, they stop being merciful, instead their characters are worsened, becomes more proud, cruel and unsympathetic. However, in the ADD group, once a person becomes a member, they become merciful, charitable and reformed true Christian, in words and in deeds.

Killing for the Church vs. Dying for the Church
Records show that there are lots of cases decided by the Supreme Court and published in the broadsheets, tabloids or local newspapers showing that some members and ministers of the INC are killing and committing various heinous crimes, harassments and persecutions against non-members of their church, including ADD workers and members.

However, the ADD members and ministers are the ones being killed or murdered, harassed, persecuted and even exiled because of plots to kill and always encounters danger to their lives and limbs where the INC executioners are determined to do harm to the brethren of the ADD group.

Rich vs. Poor
The Central in Diliman is a very wealthy organization which can be likened to Egypt in the times of Moses, while the Central in Apalit is a very poor organization with so many debts and obligations to finance their propagation by spreading the Words of God through the media and Bible Expositions. Almost 99% of the membership of the CGI comes from the poorest of the poor, reminiscent of the Israelites, the slaves of the Egyptians before, but they are the chosen ones of God. Buildings and structures of worship of the INC are so lavish and extravagant. On the other hand, the ADD group is so modest, likened during the times of Jesus Christ holding their meetings and church activities in humble edifices and rented places, or even in the streets.

“Beso-beso” vs. Holy Kiss
INC believes that the Holy Kiss is “beso-beso”, kissing by touching, either cheek to cheek or even with a hug or body touch. Whereas, ADD believes that the Holy Kiss is not physical but spiritual. A greeting of brotherly love where a Christian can even send his Holy Kiss to a fellow Christian, beyond borders and worldwide.

Influential vs. Insignificant
INC group is very influential and powerful to the extent of controlling the government and politicians, from the President down to the lowly policemen and rank and file government employees. On the other hand, ADD group is often treated unfairly because of their poverty and religious beliefs, their human rights are time and again violated, they are experiencing harassments and persecutions because of the dictates and insinuations of the leaders of the INC group, by using their influence, money and power. The ADD Ministers and Workers are often brought into courts to answer false and capricious accusations as it is very easy for the INC group to exercise influence peddling by using their wealth merely to persecute and harass the ADD group.

Visibility vs. Non-visibility
Leaders of the INC are not visible to the public and even to their members, whereas, the leaders of the ADD are always out and on the go, helping people physically and spiritually, propagating the Words of God, the reason why they are being haunted by the executioners of the INC for the fear of the latter, due to the dwindling or diminishing number of membership compared to the phenomenal increase of membership of the former

DEC (Decreasing) vs. ADD (Increasing)
The number of membership in the INC is apparently decreasing, hence INC is more fitting either for the word “Incomplete” or DEC for decreasing, on the other hand, the number of membership in ADD, the increase is phenomenal or extraordinary, a manifestation of divine guidance outside mere human efforts. Recently, while the ADD is gaining huge numbers of membership through mass indoctrination worldwide, baptizing thousands of new true Christians, the INC, is again at the exact opposite. In fact currently, they baptized a measly four (4) individuals in a mass indoctrination, and they were very much proud of it already.

Conclusion
Now therefore, if you have eyes, ears and other senses working, it is now high time to open it widely, then, determine for yourselves within reason that the existence in this end times of these two ever contrasting organizations, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) versus the Iglesia Ni Cristo ni Manalo (INCM), are not indeed a coincidence but strongly pre-ordained.

Take heed therefore people of the Philippines and be aware of the phenomenon in religion where this beautiful country was blessed to have been chosen by God to bear the true religion. Notwithstanding, the fact that the religion coming from darkness was also given birth here, in order to strengthen and fortify the similarity of occurrences and events that has already happened during the times of Adam and Eve and also the times of Moses, where both good and evil dwells in one place as well, where evil tries to devour the good men, but still frustratingly ended up grinding its teeth because they cannot thrive.

Be astute therefore, dear readers. It is now the peak time to exercise your intelligent judgments, and not just to sit there and prevaricate but with discernment, settle to come up with an evaluation and certitude. God Bless. source: relijournal.com

Let's get FACTS STRAIGHT!

ADD Convention Center

"The Ang Dating Daan Convention Center (Tagalog alternate name: Pasalamatán) is a large open-type convention center built in the Philippines"

"The entire compound encompasses the main Convention Center, a dorm, two offices and houses for the Ministers of the said church group. It expanded in 2004, adding more parking spaces and more area for the church members."

"It also hosts other special events, sports activities, conferences, and meetings. A hospital, orphanage and a tertiary institution... is also located within the compound." source: wikipedia

It is the claimed "Central" (the term they got from the INC Central) is a convention center, yes, a convention center, not a chapel, but they used it for their worship services especially in their International Thanksgiving celebrated quarterly. In the said compound the La Verdad Christian School, ADD Apartments, ADD Medical Pavillion, Hotel, ADD Cooperative Office, ADD Cooperative Stores, ADD Foundation Orphanage, Administration office, ADD Museum and ADD Sizzling House are located there.

But the thing is, who owned those?

Registry of Deeds
Province of Pampanga
San Fernando Branch

On the basis of documents furnished us, the land subject of this appraisal consists of eighteen (18) contiguous lots containing an aggregate area of 90,816 sq. meters more or less, technically identified as follows:

The town "Apalit" got its name from that big legendary tree [Pterocarpus indicus or Apalit (also known as Narra) in Kapampangan] which is now the National tree of the Philippines. (source: wikipedia)

The writer really intended to use "same sounding" just to say Mr. Soriano's founded church is "from the light" and that the INC [which is located in Diliman (as the writer say from the word 'dilim' or dark)] "from the darkness". So childish, isnt it?^^

Saying that the INC is in the darkness only because it is located in "Diliman" on which in 1938, President Quezon purchased 1529 hectares from the vast "Diliman Estate" or "Hacienda Diliman" of Tuason Family (source: wikipedia, wikipilipinas) is like saying that structures located there are also FROM the darkness! Examples?

Another FACT

Ang Dating Daan failed to pay taxes

By Raymond C. Garcia

APALIT -- Aside from the buildings that were constructed without any permit, Ang Dating Daan (ADD) also failed to pay its real property taxes for the years 2006 until 2007.

This was according to the documents released by Apalit Municipal Treasurer Elizabeth Bustamante.

In a letter sent to Eliseo Soriano, leader of the ADD, it was stated that under the law, specifically Section 178 of Republic Act (RA) 7160 of the New Local Government Code of 1991, "the province or municipality is empowered to cause the sale through auction of your above named properties in order to collect unpaid taxes due thereon."

Meanwhile, Municipal Engineer Wilfredo Danting has furnished Mayor Oscar Tetangco Jr. the full list of the buildings constructed inside the ADD compound without any permit issued by the Municipal Engineer's Office.

These include hospital building (100 percent complete), four-storey tenement building (50 percent complete), three-storey tenement building (100 percent complete), museum (100 percent complete), chapel (100 percent complete), convention center extension (50 percent complete) and administration building extension (40 percent complete).

Earlier, municipal officials led by Tetangco led the closure of at least four buildings inside the ADD compound in Barangay Sampaloc here.

"We are here to uphold the law, if you cannot comply, you evaporate," Tetangco said after implementing the closure of the ADD buildings.

The buildings include a chapel, museum and two residential houses, which were constructed without building permits, municipal officials said.

The Municipal Council here headed by Vice Mayor Peter Nucom, recently passed Resolution 15 -- requesting the mayor to exercise the municipality's police power on buildings, structures and establishments found violative of pertinent national and local statutes.

The resolution stated that the Municipality of Apalit received numerous reports from insiders, former members and workers of the ADD that a portion of the property is being utilized for burial purposes without any approved documents from the local government.

Jerry Caroro, an ADD representative, asked for the suspension of the closure order but to no avail. He said they still have to consult their lawyers regarding the issue.

"I have received the letter of the mayor just today (Monday) regarding the closure order, but we are making active preparation and so we are asking for a little time," Caroro said.

Councilor Jun Sigua said the group was given enough time to act on the matter. source: sunstar.com

Wow, is this the thing that they boast?^^

The above statement on that bias nonmember were all his/her OPINION, because those cannot be consider as FACTS. What are those?

Central in Diliman of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC)
"This is the Central Office of the Church of Manalo, popularly known as Iglesia ni Cristo (INC). The owners of this Church are the Manalo family, a corporation sole, now headed by Mr. Eranio Manalo."

All chapels and properties of the Church of Christ, not Church of Manalo because there's no such thing are all registered in the name Iglesia ni Cristo, as it is a corporation sole meaning,

"The concept of corporation sole originated as a means to the orderly transfer of church or religious society property, serving to keep title within the church or religious society. In order to keep the religious property from being treated as the estate of the vicar of the church, the property was titled to the office of the corporation sole..." source: wikipedia

and it is not owned by the manalo family because:

""A corporation sole is a legal entity consisting of a single ('sole') incorporated office, occupied by a single ('sole') man or woman. " source: wikipedia

The founder of the Iglesia ni Cristo is Jesus Christ, that's why it is called "ni Cristo", not "ni Manalo".

"...the sumptuous palace where the Manalo’s are comfortably residing and not that visible to the public view..."

Very funny. If it is indeed the so called Manalo family have a "sumptuous palace", where is it?

"The INC celebrates their Holy Supper in the morning..."

Can you present any proof that the INC have a doctrine saying the "Holy Supper" should be done in the morning? Of course there's none, because the holy supper is done by the members in normal worship services schedule, whereas every thursday for example, we have a schedule in Morning, afternoon, and evening. Because the members cannot be accommodated if it will be done in 1 time.

"The INC believes that non-members of their church are already destined or bound to go to hell."

The INC believes that those outside the church, whom never reached by the INC in its evangelization, meaning those who even doesnt know and heard the teachings of God and those who isnt became a member (people that lived before the re establishment of Christ's Church in the Philippines in 1914), it is God who will judge them.

And those who rejected the INC (people who heard the teachings but not continued until the end) and those who knows about the INC but didnt enter to it as becoming a member will receive God's anger or be in the lake of fire because they are not redeemed through Christ's blood in their sins. (Eph. 2:1-6)

"In the INC, once a person becomes a member, they stop being merciful, instead their characters are worsened, becomes more proud, cruel and unsympathetic."

Wrong observation. It is nonmembers who said that INC members are discipline, helpful, kind and so on. An example:

“…This wonderful change in the lives of her members are attributable to the fact that, the time one signifies his intention of joining the church, he is subjected to a rigid indoctrination by duly qualified ministers who enjoin and admonish him to lead a life strictly patterned after the will of God; thus, only those who by conviction and faith manifest an unconditional surrender to scriptural teachings and mandates find entrance into the Church.”

Zoilo Galang, editor, Encyclopedia of the Philippines, 1958, p.466

Fore more, click here.

"Leaders of the INC are not visible to the public and even to their members..."

Wrong. Ministers can be seen in Evangelical missions, bible studies and worship services. The Executive minister Bro. Eduardo Manalo is having pastoral visitations around the country and ABROAD. He had been in Asia, Europe, and America. It is all recorded an can be watched on Net25 and Gemnet tv through the INC programs like Church News.

"The number of membership in the INC is apparently decreasing, hence INC is more fitting either for the word “Incomplete” or DEC for decreasing..." "...the INC, is again at the exact opposite. In fact currently, they baptized a measly four (4) individuals in a mass indoctrination, and they were very much proud of it already."

INC does not stands for Incomplete but to INCreasing. The growth on chapels, members, expansion in other countries, called by nonmembers as "phenomenal"! Here in the Philippines, district baptisms i think before it is done quarterly but now held twice a month. Even though before you will be baptized, a member needs 6months and more depends on the situation for example if he/she missed to attend worship services and if the requirements are not yet completed. Like me, to be frank, i think i used 1 year before i got my baptism because i have no 2x2 picture in that time, my NSO birth certificate and i am not able to attend "Pulong Panalangin" because it is scheduled 7 in the evening but i am coming home 9pm from school^^.


But as i have noticed to the writer, he/she also said truths behind those lies:

"...On the other hand, the ADD place of worship is an unfinished building or edifice. For a long time already, it remains unfinished due to scarcity of funds. Their Locales or places of worship are mere rented humble spaces,..."

It is all because Soriano, who always ask for money to his followers (Note: recorded on TV!) for the costs of this and that corrupted the MONIES! And yes, their "locales" are small and just like a rented room.

"Influential vs. Insignificant"

TRUE. Church of Soriano is Insignificant meaning UNIMPORTANT and NO VALUE.


There are so may lies the writer stated but i will not anymore quote it. What else the "ADD Convention Center" have? Besides they used it in their WORSHIP SERVICES??? (ADD should not stands for Increase/Add but to "Ang Daming sangDaan!"^^) Just look, wow, businesses!














Is that a PLACE FOR WORSHIP? When you enter the ADD Convention Center, no doubt, its a mini divisoria!^^ And what's its difference, as what also Mr. Soriano criticize, the Catholic Church?





A former ADD member observed:

This is the photo of INC Central Temple, the criticized "from the darkness", but i think the INC Central truly the LIGHT in DILIMAN. All of us knows how clean and orderly the INC locales are, so i do not need to describe it and compare to the ADD Convention Center Central.
