WHO COMPILED THE BIBLE ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF THE INC-- PASUGO?

 1. Pasugo August 1965, page 4:

   "The Bible was assembled into a single book through the efforts of the Catholic Church. The Church's councils, such as the Council of Carthage, played a significant role in deciding which books would be recognized as canonical" (Pasugo, August 1965, p. 4).

2. Pasugo January 1972, page 7:

   "Historically, it was the Catholic Church that determined the canon of the Bible. The books of the New Testament were chosen based on decisions made in Church councils and synods" (Pasugo, January 1972, p. 7).

3. Pasugo February 1981, page 14:

   "The formation of the Bible as a canon was a process overseen by the Catholic Church. This church determined which scriptures were considered sacred and should be included in the Bible" (Pasugo, February 1981, p. 14).

4. Pasugo November 1991, page 10:

   "The Catholic Church was instrumental in the compilation of the Bible. Through various councils, the Church defined which texts were to be included in the New Testament" (Pasugo, November 1991, p. 10).

5. Pasugo March 2003, page 20:

   "The canonization of the Bible was established by the Catholic Church, which held several ecclesiastical councils to finalize the inclusion of the books in the Bible as we know it today" (Pasugo, March 2003, p. 20).

'Si Cristo ay DIOS' sa katawagan ngunit hindi tunay ayon sa Pasugo

 PASUGO August 1939, p. 17

Isinulat ni Benjamin Santiago Sr.

“Ang batang lalaking ipanganganak na tinutukoy ni Isaias ay ang ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. Sinasabi ding Siya’y aatangan ng pamamahala; na ito’y pinatunayan ni Cristo ng sabihin Niyang: “Ang kapamahalaan sa langit at sa ibabaw ng lupa ay naibigay na sa akin” (Mt. 28:18).  Pagkatapos na Siya’y atangan ng pamamahala, Siya’y TATAWAGING DIOS; ngunit, HINDI TUNAY NA DIOS, kundi TATAWAGING LAMANG, gaya ng pagtatawag na dios sa mga anak ng Kataastaasan. Maliwanag na sinasabi ng talata na si Cristo na tinatawag na Dios ay may Dios na kinikilala; at ang Kanyang Dios ay Siyang nagpahid o naghalal sa Kanya; sapagkat ang kahulugan ng salitang Cristo ay pinahiran. Sa Juan 20:17 ay sinabi ni Cristo: “Aakyat Ako sa Aking Ama, sa inyong Ama at sa AKING DIOS sa inyong Dios. Kung gayon, ang ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo dios na may Dios.”

 

PASUGO Nobyembre 1939

“Bakit pa kami mag-aaral sa naniniwala naman kaming si Cristo’y TINATAWAG NA DIOS. Ikinakapit na talaga kay Cristo ang salitang “Dios” nguni’t si Cristo ay hindi TUNAY NA DIOS, kundi TINATAWAG LAMANG DIOS.  Ang salitang “Dios” ay ikinakapit din sa mga anak ng Kataastaasan, tinatawag din silang Dios (Awit 82:6, Juan 10:34-35). Ikinakapit din sa anghel ang salitang “Dios” (Huk. 13:21-22; Gen. 32:28; Osias 12:3-4). Si Moises ay ginawang Dios ng Dios at parang Dios (Exo. 7:1; 4:16). Kung sa mga anak ng Dios ay ikinakapit ang salitang “Dios” lalong may katwirang ikapit kay Cristo ang salitang ito (Dios), nguni’t hindi ito katunayang si Cristo ay tunay na Dios kundi Siya’y tinatawag lamang Dios.”

 

The Church of Christ in the Bible refers to the First Century Church, not the Iglesia Ni Cristo

Pasugo, March-April 1981, P. 3 

"The Church of Christ mentioned in Romans 16:16 is not meant for us, but for the Church of Christ established in the first century." 

Pasugo, May 1999 By: Tomas C. CatañgayP. 4 

"By racial origin, the members of the Church of Christ that emerged in the Philippines are not Israelites. They do not belong to the first-century Church of Christ."

'DIOS SI CRISTO' ayon sa PASUGO

PASUGO August 1939, p. 17 Isinulat ni Benjamin Santiago Sr. 

 “Ang batang lalaking ipanganganak na tinutukoy ni Isaias ay ang ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.

Pagkatapos na Siya’y atangan ng pamamahala, Siya’y TATAWAGING DIOS; ngunit, HINDI TUNAY NA DIOS, kundi TATAWAGING LAMANG, gaya ng pagtatawag na dios sa mga anak ng Kataastaasan. Malinawag na sinasabi ng talata na si Cristo na tinatawag na Dios ay may Dios na kinikilala; at ang Kanyang Dios ay Siyang nagpahid o naghalal sa Kanya; sapagkat ang kahulugan ng salitang Cristo ay pinahiran.

Felix Manalo HIMSELF concluded that none of the existing churches remained faithful

“Divine Revelation In November 1913, Brother Felix locked himself in his dimly-lit room and began poring over all the religious literature he had accumulated. For three days and three nights, he immersed himself in an intensive study and reflection of the doctrines of various churches and compared their beliefs with the Bible. His exhaustive study of religions and the Bible led him to the conclusion that none of the existing churches then remained faithful with the biblical truth. Therefore, none of them is the true religion. His meditations assured him that God was commissioning him to preach the true Church of Christ.” (PASUGO God’s Message, July-September 1994, p.11-12).

SINUNOD ANG HAPON KAYSA SA DIYOS

PASUGO Oktubre, 1965 p.21

MGA PINAKAMAMAHAL NA MGA KAPATID:

Sa kasalukuyan ang Kapatid na Prudencio Vasquez ang namamahala sa Iglesia. Ito ang gusto ng Japon, Tayo'y sumunod. Huwag kayong mabalisa sapagka't  sila ang may kapangyarihan sa ating bayan. Ang aking tungkulin ay bigay ng Dios gayon din naman ang inyong mga pananampalataya. Ako'y nananatili sa Iglesia at sa ibinigay sa akin ng Dios. Ito rin ang hinihingi ko sa inyo na huwag ninyong sisirain ang inyong matapat at boong pusong pagibig sa Dios, kay Kristo na ating Panginoon, sa Salita ng Dios na natititik sa Biblia, sa Iglesia ni Kristo sa Pilipinas at sa Pasugo ng Dios sa Huling Araw.  Maliwanag sa inyo at sapat na ang maikling sulat kong ito sa inyo na tayo'y nagkakaunawaan na gaya rin ng dati.

Ang lalong kailangan nating lahat na mga Iglesia ni Kristo ay ang tahasang nagpapakasakit sa pagpupumilit na maisagawa natin sa pamumuhay ang tinanggap natin sa Dios na pagibig at pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng pagbabagong buhay.

Ang inyong kapatid kay Kristo na hindi natitinag sa pananatili sa Dios at sa paglilingkod,

(Lgd.) F. MANALO

FELIX MANALO

The Catholic is the true Church of Christ

PASUGO

January - March 1995

"...the Church of Christ has thoroughly become the Catholic Church although writers and historians continue to treat both as synonymous..."  Pasugo January - March 1995, p. 8

Pasugo admitted that Felix Manalo founded his church called the Iglesia Ni Cristo!

"A Protestant author, Dr. Arthur Leonard Tuggy, attributes the Iglesia ni Cristo's fantastic growth to, among other factors, Dedicate laymen eager to spread their message and an effective deployment of ministers. "And behind all this," he notes, "was the continuing charismatic leadership of its founder-head, Felix Manalo, now firmly anchored to a doctrinal base as Gods messenger for the Philippines..." - Isabelo T. Crisotomo in the May-June 1986 issue of the Pasugo

ERAÑO G. MANALO FIFTH CHILD OF FELIX MANALO WAS ELECTED LEADER OF INC™

"...on January 28, 1953... Brother Eraño G. Manalo, the fifth child of Brother Felix and Sister Honorata, was chosen or elected to lead the Church in the event of the passing away of the Messenger of God in these last days."

-PASUGO God's Message Special Centennial Issue, p. 17 (by Nicanor P. Tiosen)

"Other notable glimpses during Brother Eraño Manalo's stewardship of the Church were the official establishment of the local congregation of Rome in Italy on July 27, 1994, signifying the full restoration of the Church in Rome; the official establishment of the local congregation of Jerusalem in Israel on March 31, 1996, signifying the Church's return to its original home; and the official establishment of the local congregation of Athens in Greece on May 10, 1997, signifying the extension of the Gentile mission."

-PASUGO God's Message Special Centenial Issue, p. 16 (by Nicanor P. Tiosen)

[PROOF THAT GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INC™'S TEACHINGS, THEY ALL COME FROM FELIX MANALO'S LIMITED UNDERSTANDING AND PERSONAL INTERPRETATION OF THE BIBLE WHICH CAME FROM THE CATHOLIC CHUCH ~ THE TRUE CHURCH CHRIST FOUNDED IN 33 A.D.]

"The first Executive Minister of the Church took upon himself all administrative and spiritual concerns... He personally took charge of the training of ministers in what was then called "Ang Klase" (The Class) in 1915."

-PASUGO God's Message Special Centennial Issue, p. 16 (by Nicanor P. Tiosen)

July 27, 1914 INC™ was Founded in the Philippines and was Registered under the Republic of the Philippines

"On July 27, 1914, at the outbreak of the First World War, when Austrian troops undertook their first invasion of Serbia after sending her startling ultimatum, in the Philippines, the Iglesia Ni Cristo was registered with the Philippine government... the Articles of Incorporation were filed with the Office of the Division of Archives, Patented Properties of Literature and Executive Office of Industrial Trade Works..."

-PASUGO God's Message Special Centennial Issue, p. 16 (by Nicanor P. Tiosen)

Eduardo V. Manalo Elected as INC™'s new Executive Minister

Locale Church of INC in Rome, Jerusalem and Athens Restored?

"Most memorable of the expansion works of the Church is the establishment of the local congregation of the Church in Rome; in Jerusalem in Israel on March 31, 1996, signifying the Church's return to its original home; and in Athens, Greece on May 10, 1997, signifying the extension of the Gentile mission."

-PASUGO God's Message Special Centennial Issue, p. 11 (by Isaias T. Samson Jr.)

Far East ~ the Philippines?

"...God did not only prophesy the emergence of His children from the Far East but also the gathering of His children from the Far West:

'From the far east will I bring your offspring, and from the far west I will gather you.'  (Isa. 43:5, Moffat Translation)

The World Almanac identifies the Far West as "California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii.." On July 27, 1968, this prophesy began to be fulfilled when brethren from the Philippines... migrated to Hawaii... Brother Eraño proceeded immediately to San Francisco, California to officiate the worship service... 'Gathering Work' happened when the Church Of Christ... has reached its glorious posture in the Far East as also prophesied by God: 'Till in the far west men have awe of the Eternal, and in the east they see his brilliant deeds; for his vengeance pours out like a pent-up stream, driven by a blast of wind.' (Isa. 59:19, Moffat Translation)"

-PASUGO God's Message Special Centennial Issue, p. 11 (by Isaias T. Samson Jr.)

"Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, then the Deputy Executive Minister, as he accomplished the preliminary tasks pertinent to the registration of the Church [Iglesia Ni Cristo] at the Tribunale Civile Di Roma."

-PASUGO God's Message Special Centennial Issue, p.10 (by Isaias T. Samson Jr.)

"God had allowed His people in these last days to go through years of persecution, adversities, and various trials, to show and underscore the realization of His promise to His Messenger and to the works He had entrusted him... so many have tried relentlessly to oppose the work that God entrusted to His messenger in these last days."

-PASUGO God's Message Special Centennial Issue, pp. 10-11 (by Isaias T. Samson Jr.)

"... the glorious status of the Church. Their faith was strengthened by the fulfillment of God's promises to His messenger and to His Church from the ends of the earth:

'You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, 'You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

Pasugo: Bario Maligaya derived from it's founder's name Felix which means 'maligaya' or 'happy'

"In caring for the well-being of its members, the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) or Church Of Christ upholds a social welfare program that includes the establishment of its own resettlement communities in aid of those who need it most.

"...a place that was to be called Barrio Maligaya, after the Messenger's first name 'Felix' which means 'happy' or 'maligaya'".

"In 1994, the Iglesia Ni Cristo was registered in the city of Rome.  This was followed by the Church's official registration in two other historic cities: Jerusalem in 1996, which marked the fulfillment of a prophesied return of the true Church to its original home; and Athens, Greece in 1997, which signaled the continuation of the Church's expansion in the Gentile lands.

"Just like Barangay Maligaya and Barangay Bagong Buhay, the dawning of Sitio New Era heralds of bigger and better things to come for the Church...
