NP Rank:
Arroyo condoles with Iglesia members
MANILA -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo extended her condolences and prayers to the family and members of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) following the death of executive minister Eraño “Ka Erdy” Manalo.
Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the President and her family joins the Filipino nation in mourning Manalo’s death, claiming that both the country and the world lost another great leader with his passing.
What are the thoughts of Bro Eli?
Its always sad to see someone die, but should Gloria and others in the government called Ka Erdy a great leader? I have many doubts about if INC religious and political aims are actually good for Politics within the Philippines as it is a money making religous cult, that has shown an un christian like stance in its vendetta with Bro Eli another religious money making cult leader.
I expect his death will start a power struggle within INC and the group will split up because the so called religious leaders want bigger pieces of the pie.

I feel sorry for your ignorance of the INC. You better check your faith and the church you belong. INC is not a money making cult. People around the world could witness the progress of the church, not only the spectacular architecture of the church built around the world but the faith we have for God and our unity. That is all for the glory of our God. Before you blog something untrue and hateful feelings of yours, reexamine yourself first and learn the true teachings inscribed in the Bible.

St. Paul said that all what the bible say is true (2 Tim 3:16-17). Here he did not say that all truths are found only in the bible. And he said that church (not the bible) is the pillar and support of truth (1 Tim 3:15). And the great secret of our religion is that Christ (Our Lord and God) came and appeared on us in human form (1 Tim 3:16). And everyone know very well that He will always be with us until the end of the world. Our religious and civil leaders may betrayed and abandoned us, but Christ never betrayed nor abandoned us, anyTIME, and anywhere. We may abandoned nor betrayed Him but He never abandoned nor betrayed us. In a hundred people, He will never abandon the 99 unjust ones for the sake of one who is just. If will abandon unjust 99, how could will He show mercy? If he will abandon his church, how could we repent? Because of His mercy He will be with His church until the end of time. Yes, we will not only live by bread alone, but also by the words that comes from the mouth of God. Yes, we have the bible which is sourced from His church. But this is not enough. We also need His real Body and Blood which is present in all the tabernacles of the world, His perfect sacrific and offering for our salvation. We must receive Him. He was stoned by the people in two separate incidents, and was crucified. Were it because of our sins? Yes, but mainly because of His divinity. The same things is happening until now, many people believe in lots of things about Him and His miracles but still they don't want to accept Him, they still keep on stoning Him of His divinity. We are saved, not because of having no sin (or else we can boast about it) but because of Christ. But we are all sinners, yes, but only some accept Him in who really He is, being True God and True Man. And St. Paul said that we must we must stand firm and hold on to those truths (2 Thes 2:15) which the apostles taught us, both in their preaching (gospels, and traditions included) and in their letters (Epitles, Gospels).

For the glory of God? Yes, no one can go to the Father except through Jesus Christ., the true God and true Man. Jesus had the glory of God the Father even before the creation. The Father glorifies the Son and the Son glorifies the Father. So for the glory of God, we must accept Jesus Christ, the true God and true man, not in those grand buildings.

I pity you, for your wrong information about INC. Please search correctly about how INC become successfull. It is because of devine guidance of almighty God. We invite you to personally seek information to any our ministers which you can freely visit at your convinience in any of our Church locales. They would respectfully and assured you that all your doubts will be answered correctly.

Jesus Christ already had the glory of the Father even before the creation because he already existed long before the creation. Then the Father more glorified the Son and the Son more glorified the Father. And no one can go to the Father except through the Son. So for the glory of God, we must accept the Son, the True God and True man, not via those spectacular buildings. And for our unity, we are united via the Holy Communion, no matter where in the world we are, "in communion" or united not only with other people here on earth but with the saints, martyrs, and angels and the Blessed Virgin in heaven in a supper praising "Holy, holy, holy Lord. Holy God of Power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory," to the sacrificed Lamb (Jesus). We also invoke to the sarificed Lamb (Jesus) the highest praise reserved only for God saying "Praise to you in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest."There is no need for me to consult your minister. Just stand for your belief which you gained from your ministers if you are already faithful enough or else you yourself will consult your minister again.
