This is for Filipino Catholics who can bear the painful truth. Bishops and priests who sired children, squandered money offerings, and jockeyed for power to get plum positions – you will find all of these and more ecclesiastical malpractices in “Altar of Secrets," a new book by veteran journalist Aries Rufo.
While many of the sources were anonymous, the wealth of inside information gathered by Rufo through two decades of experience in covering the church beat has lent credence to his claim that some “princes” of the Catholic Church have lived immoral lives.

PAANO ANG KALIGTASAN NG NABUHAY BAGO 1914?

Paano Maliligtas ang Mga Taong Nabuhay Bago ang taong 1914?

Nais kong i-share sa inyo ang aking naging sagot sa TANONG ng ISANG “ANONYMOUS”:

Tanong ng isang Anonymous:

“tanong lang po, kung ang mga INC members ang maliligtas sa judgment day, how about those people na hindi narating ng pangangaral ng INC, yung mga tribes sa africa, mga bansang walang INC at mga taong nabuhay before 1914? hindi ba ligtas ang gayon karaming tao? pls. enlighten us. tnx po...”

TATLONG PERSONA?

TATLONG PERSONA?

Posible nga bang ang Diyos ay binubuo ng tatlong persona?

Napakadami nilang naimbentong palusot ngayon, este

paliwanag sa kanilang 1 Diyos na may tatlong persona,

andyan yung kinumpara nila ang kanilang Diyos sa "TAO DAW"

na binubuo ng katawan, espirito at kaluluwa, andyan din yung

kinumpara nila ang kanilang Diyos sa 3 in 1 na kape na

binubuo ng creamer, asukal at kape. Naisip ko, may point

naman sila. Pero nag isip ako ng mas malalim, inanalize ko...

Ayon na rin sa bibliya, ang tao ay binubuo ng katawan,

espirito at kaluluwa:

"May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way.

And may your whole being—spirit, soul, and body—remain

blameless when our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, appears." 1

Thess 5:23

THE "FOUR MARKS" OF ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

EXAMINING THE "FOUR  MARKS" of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH claims that there are "four identifying marks" of the one true Church which they posses. However, these "identifying marks" they claim are they themselves who made it up. Remember what Apostle Paul said in Roman 10:2-3?

MUST KNOW ABOUT IGLESIA NI CRISTO

WHAT EVERYONE MUST KNOW ABOUT

IGLESIA NI CRISTO

Do you have a relative, classmate or a friend who is a member of the “Iglesia Ni Cristo” (Church Of Christ)? There are a lot of things you need to know about the Iglesia Ni Cristo before you accept their invitation to attend their “Pamamahayag” (Bible Exposition), “Doktrina” (Bible Studies on doctrines) and “Pagsamba” (worship services).

The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) firmly believes that the Bible is the word of God and the only foundation of our faith. Thus, the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ):

We do not go beyond what is written

The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) strictly adheres to the admonition of the apostles that we should not go beyond what is written:

I Corinthians 4:6 NIV

“Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "DO NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN." Then you will not take pride in one man over against another.” [Emphasis mine]

We do not give any private interpretation

The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Churct Of Christ) strictly follows what the Bible said that “no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation”:

II Peter 1:20 NKJV

“Knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION.” [Emphasis mine]

Thus, we do not give any private interpretation on what the Bible says.

We do not teach any man-made doctrines

The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) based all of its beliefs in the Bible. We do not adhere to any teachings or doctrines made by men because God will not accept any worship or services based on the doctrines and commandments of men:

Matthew 15:9 NKJV

“And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”

Thus, we reject all man-made doctrines.

We do not speak in words taught by human wisdom

The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) strictly follows what Apostle Paul said:

I Corinthians 2:13 TEV

“So then, WE DO NOT SPEAK IN WORDS TAUGHT BY HUMAN WISDOM, but in words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual truths to those who have the Spirit.” [Emphasis mine]

Thus, we don’t give any personal opinion.

We compare “spritual things with spiritual”

The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) let a verse of the Bible be explained by the Bible itself through comparing a verse with the other verses of the Bible because this is the “way” the Holy Scripture itself teaches how a verse should be “explained” – “comparing spiritual things with spiritual”: 

I Corinthians 2:13 NKJV

“These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, COMPARING SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL.” [Emphasis mine]

THUS, WE SPEAK WHAT THE BIBLE SPEAKS

This is what you will witness in our “Pamamahayag” (Bible Exposition), “Doktrina” (Bible studies on doctrines) and “Pagsamba” (Worship Service”) – the Minister asks the question and get the answer STRAIGHT FROM THE BIBLE. So, what will you receive from our Bible studies are the pure and unadulterated words of God.
