"Family planning through artificial methods is indeed allowed in the Iglesia Ni Cristo.

"The Iglesia Ni Cristo accepts modern family planning methods or the use of what others call 'contraceptives' as long as they are not abortifacient in nature and they do not impose prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse among married couples... The Rhythym Method and other s0-called 'natural' family planning methods are rejected because they are actually contrary to nature.  Among other things, they run counter to the apostolic teaching to all married couples which states, 'Do not first agree to do so for a while in order to spend your time in prayer; but then resume normal marital relations..' (I Cor. 7:5, Today's English Version).

"Family planning with the use of artificial birth control methods is part of responsible parenthood.  The Bible teaches hat those who do not provide for their households, by their own imprudence, are worse than unbelievers (I Tim. 5:8)."

"Apostle Paul's travel to Rome was considered his fourth missionary journey, and his letter to the Christians in that city is by far the longest of the so-called Pauline epistles.  In the first chapter, Paul made mention of 'men, who suppress the truth" (Rom. 1:18, New King James Version) and who 'changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible men (Rom. 1:23, Ibid.), worshiping and serving 'the creature rather than the Creator' (Rom. 1:25, Ibid.)"

"How did the devil and his prophets plant the tares or the seeds of apostasy?  By teaching doctrines of demons, 'forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats' (I Tim. 4:1, 3, King James Version)...

“Sino ang tinutukoy ng salitang "dahil sa atin?" Lahat ba ng taong makababasa at nakaririnig ng salitang ito? Ang tinutukoy ng salitang "dahil sa atin" ay ang nagsasalita at ang kinakausap.

Sa ubod ng aming puso at damdamin;

Nagkapalad kami sa gintong layunin;

Sa sikap ng Sugong naghirap sa amin.

Ang pagtatagumpay, dangal at alindog;

Sa isang pag-asa kami ay nabuklod;

Ang aming dalangin sa paninikluhod;

Salamat sa SUGO... Salamat sa Dios."

Ito ay nagpapanggap lamang na INK ngunit ang totoo raw ay Iglesia ni Manalo. Walang katotohanan ang kanilang palagay na ito sapagkat walang Iglesiang kanya si Kapatid na Manalo."

“Sino itong pastor ng Iglesiang lilitaw sa Pilipinas? Ito ang huling tinatawag o sugo na kasama ng Dios. Ito ang Kapatid na Felix Manalo.
