UPPER/LOWER CASE IN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT

Source: https://www.thisisyourbible.com/index.php?page=questions&task=show&mediaid=3301

In Hebrew, there is no such thing as upper and lower case. The original Greek manuscripts were written in all upper case letters with
no spaces or punctuation which makes accurate translation a bit of a challenge. Therefore, this is a question of English style rather
than a question of being true to the original Bible texts.
There is no disrespect intended in the English style which does not capitalize pronouns relating to God or Jesus Christ; it is the usage
of the historic English Bibles: Wycliffe (1380), Tyndale (1534), Cranmer (1539), Geneva (1557), Rheims (1582), and King James
Version (1611). Moreover, it is the style followed by the New English Bible (NEB), New International Version (NIV) and English
Standard Version (ESV). The NASB and NKJV do capitalize pronouns and thus introduce something which is not a feature of the
original Greek or Hebrew texts. The capitalization of pronouns in the Bible is thus seen to be relatively modern.
There is no commandment of God to capitalize pronouns as a mark of respect therefore it comes under the heading of a ‘tradition of
men’. As such, those who want to observe it are free to do so, but have no scriptural grounds for imposing the observance of it upon
others.
In some places in the Bible, it is a matter of opinion to whom the pronoun refers. In the Old Testament where passages have a dual
reference (Psalms 55:12-13 for example) it becomes problematical and is best not indulged in.
God is honoured in the way we obey the commandments he has actually given us rather than the way we capitalize pronouns of
which he made no mention.
The prescribed offerings of the Jews had no value if their lives were astray from God. They made their mistake in straining gnats and
swallowing camels. We have to avoid travelling the same road.
Matthew 15:8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

----The Old testament is originally written in Hebrew while the New Testament is originally written in Greek.
“The New Testament (Koine Greek: Ἡ Καινὴ Διαθήκη, Hē Kainḕ Diathḗkē) is the second major division of the Christian biblical canon,
the first such division being the much longer Old Testament.”
“Unlike the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible, of which Christians hold different views, the contents of the New Testament deal
explicitly with 1st century Christianity, although both the Old and New Testament are regarded, together, as Sacred Scripture.”

What kind of Greek the New Testament is written?


“The majority view is that all of the books that would eventually form the New Testament were written in Koine Greek”.
source: wikipedia

What do we need to know about Koine Greek?


“Koine Greek was the language used by writers of the Old Testament Greek Septuagint and the Greek New Testament. The original
Greek New Testament was written in all capital letters, without spaces, punctuation, accents or diacritical marks.”
source: biblescripture.net

Meaning, the New Testament is originally written in all capital letters, but why do we see capital and small letters of Koine Greek
nowadays?
“In classical Greek, as in classical Latin, only upper-case letters existed. The lower-case Greek letters were developed much later by
medieval scribes to permit a faster, more convenient cursive writing style with the use of ink and quill.”

ANG LARAWAN NG DIOS
Ang LARAWAN NG DIOS na dapat taglayin ng tao kung saan dito rin nilikha ang tao.
“Magbago na kayo ng diwa at pag-iisip: at ang dapat makita sa inyo’y ang bagong pagkatao NA NILIKHANG KALARAWAN NG
DIYOS, KALARAWAN NG KANYANG KATUWIRAN AT KABANALAN.” (Efeso 4:23-24, MB)

Nais ng Dios na maging kalarawan niya ang tao sa BAGONG PAGKATAO na ito'y sa katuwiran at kabanalan. Bakit nais ng Dios na ang
tao na kaniyang nilalang maging kalarawan niya sa kabanalan? Ano ang katangian mismo ng Diyos na lumalang sa tao? Narito:
"Nguni't yamang BANAL ang sa inyo'y tumawag, ay MANGAGPAKABANAL naman kayo sa lahat ng paraan ng pamumuhay; Sapagka't
nasusulat, Kayo'y mangagpakabanal; SAPAGKA'T AKOY BANAL. " (1 Pedro 1:15-16)

Sino ang mga taong banal na kalarawan ng Dios?


“Upang ang iglesia ay maiharap sa kaniyang sarili na maluwalhati, na walang dungis o kulubot o anomang gayong bagay; KUNDI ITO'Y
NARARAPAT MAGING BANAL AT WALANG KAPINTASAN.” (Ephesians 5:27)
Ito ay ang Iglesia, ang IGLESIA NI KRISTO “Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo
ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
Ang mga taong nagtataglay ng larawan ng Dios ay walang iba kundi ang mga kaanib sa iglesia Ni Cristo. Sila na mga kaanib sa IGLESIA
NI CRISTO ang mga pinili bago pa lalangin ang sanlibutan.
“Ayon sa pagkapili niya sa atin sa kaniya bago itinatag ang sanglibutan, upang tayo'y maging mga banal at mga walang dungis sa
harapan niya sa pagibig:” (Ephesians 1:4)
THE NAME CHRIST
THE NOBLE NAME OF THE LORD
Apostle James teaches that disciples are called on the noble name of the Lord “Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which
you are called?” (James 2:7 NKJV). Disciples are called after the name Christ, that's why Paul described them as churches of Christ
(Rom. 16:16), as a whole it is called church of Christ (Acts 20:28, LAMSA)
That’s why Apostle Paul stated “4 There is ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one
Lord, one faith, ONE BAPTISM, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.” (Eph. 4:4-6)
And that body is the church which is headed by the Lord Jesus Christ, the church of Christ.
“And he is the head of the body, the church...” (Colossians 1:18 NIV)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed THE CHURCH
OF CHRIST WHICH HE HAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).

The Bible clearly stated “Salvation is found in no one else, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN TO MEN BY
WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED. Then know this, you and all the people of Israel: IT IS BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth,
whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead...” (Acts 4:12 and 10 NIV)

“For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but ONE BODY, so it is with
the CHURCH OF CHRIST.” (1 Corinthians 12:12, Weymouth New Testament)

“The common object of their labor was to bring the Christians maturity, to prepare them for Christian service and the building up of
the Church of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:12, Norlie’s Simplified New Testament)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed THE CHURCH
OF CHRIST WHICH HE HAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).

"22 But YOU have come into the REALITY (of which the symbols only pointed to), To Mount Zion,--the NEW JERUSALEM the
HEAVENLY CITY of the Living God--and YOU are part of that city----YOU have come to join milions of millions upon millions of angels
rejoicing in God's presence! 23 into the HEAVENLY SANCTUARY----THE TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST whose IDENTITIES are STORED in
HEAVEN.. YOU have come to God,. The source and standard of righteousness for all people; to THE ARCHIVED INDIVIDUALITIES OF
RIGHTEOUS HUMAN BEINGS perfectly restored into Christlikeness of character; 24 to Jesus—the conduit and administrator of God's
healing plan; and to the reality of God's true nature and character, which was much more potently revealed and disseminated when
Christ died than in the symbols offered by Abel." (Hebrews 12;22-23(RNT) Remedy's New Translation)

And the churches in different regions are called under the name of Christ “Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of
Christ send you greetings.”(Romans 16:16)

------
ONE TRUE BAPTISM IN THE CHURCH OF CHRIST
For we are all baptized in one Spirit as to form one body, the church, the CHURCH OF CHRIST.
“12Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13FOR WE WERE ALL
BAPTIZED BY[36] ONE SPIRIT SO AS TO FORM ONE BODY—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one
Spirit to drink.” (1 Cor. 12:12-13)
That’s why Apostle Paul stated “4 There is ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one
Lord, one faith, ONE BAPTISM, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.” (Eph. 4:4-6)
And that body is the church which is headed by the Lord Jesus Christ, the church of Christ.
“And he is the head of the body, the church...” (Colossians 1:18 NIV)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed THE CHURCH
OF CHRIST WHICH HE HAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).”
------
Roma 16:16 ang patunay na unang siglo palang ay may mga lokal nang nakatatag ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
"Mangagbatian kayo ng banal na halik. Binabati kayo ng lahat ng mga iglesia ni Cristo." (Roma 16:16)
Sa kabuuan, ito ay tinawag na IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28, GLT)

------
There is no problem having Iglesia Ni Cristo in any parts of the world. Jesus clearly instructed to "...Go into all the world and preach
the gospel to all creation." (Mark 16:15)

Then, are the Iglesia Ni Cristo in different parts of the world is different from the Iglesia Ni Cristo that Christ had built?
NO! The Iglesia Ni Cristo in every parts of the world are still members of that ONE Iglesia Ni Cristo or Church Of Christ. Eventhough
the church that Jesus built is one (Matt. 16:18), it has many parts or members as the Bible teaches: 👇👇👇
"For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body – though many – are one body, so too is
Christ." (1 Corinthians 12:12 NET)
“For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but ONE BODY, so it is with
the CHURCH OF CHRIST.” (1 Corinthians 12:12, Weymouth New Testament)

------
HOLY KISS = BROTHERLY LOVE
J.B. Phillips New Testament
Romans 16:16 GIVE EACH OTHER A HEARTY HANDSHAKE all round for my sake. The greetings of all the churches I am in touch with
come to you with this letter.

“Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga anak, sapagkat pinatawad na ang inyong mga kasalanan dahil sa kanyang pangalan.” (1 Juan 2:12
MBB05)
ANG PANGALANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO

Ayon sa Banal na kasulatan, ang mga tupa o alagad ni Kristo ay tinatawag sa pangalang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.

"Binubuksan siya ng bantaypinto; at dinirinig ng mga tupa ang kaniyang tinig: at tinatawag ang kaniyang sariling mga tupa sa
PANGALAN, at sila'y inihahatid sa labas." (Juan 10:3)

"Hindi baʼt sila ang nanlalait sa marangal na PANGALAN NI JESU-CRISTO, at sa PANGALANG ito kayo nakilala?" (Santiago 2:7 ASND)

"Kayo nga ang katawan ni Cristo, at bawa't isa'y samasamang mga sangkap niya." (1 Corinto 12:27)

Ang katawan ay ang iglesia, na walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.

"Siya ang ulo ng iglesya na kanyang katawan. ......" (Mga Taga-Colosas 1:18 RTPV05)

"Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

Kaya hindi maaring Catholic, Protestant, Mormon, Born Again, Jehovah's Witness o ano-ano pang iglesia na nagaangkin ang itinayo
ni Kristo. Nilinaw ng Banal na Kasulatan na ang pangalan ng Iglesia na itinayo ni Kristo ay sunod sa kaniyang pangalan, ito ay tinawag
na IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
TERM FLOCK / KAWAN
Ayon sa isang salin ng Gawa 20:28, ang flock o kawan ay tumtukoy sa iglesia.
"Look after yourselves and everyone the Holy Spirit has placed in your care. Be like shepherds to God's church. It is the flock he
bought with the blood of his own Son." (Acts 20:28 CEV)
"Alagaan ang inyong sarili at ang lahat na inilagay sa iyo ng Banal na Espiritu. Maging tulad ng mga pastol sa iglesiang sa Diyos. Ito
ang kawan na binili niya ng dugo ng kanyang sariling Anak." (Gawa 20:28 CEV_T)

Ang kawan ay ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.


“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28, GLT)

Ang KAWAN na tinutukoy sa talata ay ang Iglesia Ni Cristo. Bilin ni Apostol Pablo na ito ay dapat ingatan. Papano ba ang pagiingat sa
kawan? Ayon din sa talata "pakanin". Ang alin? Ayon din sa talata. Ang Iglesia ni Cristo

------
Ang kawan ay ang papasukan ng mga tao upang sila ay maligtas.
“I am the door; anyone who comes into the fold through me will be safe. ...” (John 10:9, Revised English Bible)
"I am the gate. Those who enter the sheep pen through me will be saved. They will go in and out of the sheep pen and find food."
(John 10:9 God's Word)
“Kaya muling nagsalita si Jesus: ‘Buong katotohang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ako ang pintuan ng kulungan ng mga tupa … Ako ang
pintuan; sinuman na pumasok sa loob ng kawan sa pamamagitan ko ay magiging ligtas …” (Juan 10:7, 9, isinalin mula sa Revised
English Bible)

------
"But you don't believe me because you are not part of my flock." (John 10:26 The Living Bible)
FILIPINO: "Ngunit hindi kayo sumasampalataya sa akin sapagkat hindi kayo bahagi ng aking kawan."

"They are eligible to be united in the same body - Christ's Church." (Ephesians 3:6 The Last Days Bible)

"The truth now revealed is that the Gentiles can be fellow heirs of God with Israel. They are eligible to be united in the same body-
Christ's Church. They can all now receive all the blessings God promises in the Great News about Christ." (Ephesians 3:6 Last Days
Bible)

INC1914 VS OTHER INC
Ang kaibahan ng Iglesia Ni Cristo 1914 sa lahat ng iglesia.
Ang Iglesia Ni Cristo lamang ang tanging Iglesia na nagtataguyod ng aral ng mga propeta ng Dios, ng mga apostol at ng Panginoong
Cristo Hesus na iisa lamang ang tunay na Dios, walang iba kundi ang AMA (Malachi 2:10, 1 Corinthians 8:6, John 17:3)
"Kayo'y aking mga saksi, sabi ng Panginoon, at aking lingkod na aking pinili: upang inyong maalaman at magsisampalataya kayo sa
akin, at inyong matalastas na ako nga; walang Dios na inanyuan na una sa akin, o magkakaroon man pagkatapos ko." (Isaias 43:10)
Kaya kung ang aral ng iglesiang kinabibilangan mo ay Trinity o Jesus-is-God, iisa lang ang pinanggalingan mong iglesia, walang iba
kundi ang mother of the harlots na iglesia Katolika.

Ang TUNAY na "Iglesia ni Cristo/Church of Christ" kung mapapansin nyo, WALANG KADUGTONG. Kaya masasabi kong meron
talagang NAG-IISANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
------------
IGLESIA NI CRISTO, ang TANGING IGLESIA na nakakakilala sa tunay na Dios.

Ayon sa pahayag ng Panginoong Dios, mayroon siyang mga taong initasan upang ipaalam sa mga tao na may iisang tunay na Dios
lamang.

"The Lord says, “You people are my witnesses and the servant I chose. I chose you so that YOU WOULD HELP PEOPLE BELIVE ME. I
chose you so that you would understand that ‘I Am He’— I am the true God . There was no God before me, and there will be no God
after me." (Isaiah 43:10 ERV)
FILIPINO: "Sabi ng Panginoon, "Kayong mga tao ay aking mga saksi at mga lingkod na aking pinili. Pinili ko kayo upang inyong
TULUNGAN ANG MGA TAO NA MANIWALA SA AKIN. Pinili ko kayo upang inyong maalaman na 'Ako Nga' — AKO ANG TUNAY NA
DIOS. Walang Dios na nauna sa akin, o magkakaroon man pagkatapos ko."

TANONG: Saan ba matatagpuan ang mga taong ito na pinili ng Dios upang TUMULONG sa mga tao na maniwala sa kaniya?
SAGOT: Ang mga taong ito na pinili ng Dios na siyang TUTULONG sa mga tao upang malaman na may iisang tunay na Dios lamang, ay
matatagpuan sa iglesia, na walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.

"At ang Dios ay naglagay ng ilan sa IGLESIA, una-una'y mga apostol, ikalawa'y mga propeta, ikatlo'y mga guro, saka mga himala, saka
mga kaloob na pagpapagaling, MGA PAGTULONG, mga pamamahala, at iba't ibang mga wika." (1 Corinto 12:28)
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
Kaya mula noon magpahanggang ngayon, masugid na itinataguyod ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO ang aral ng Dios na tinanggap ng mga
propeta, apostol at higit sa lahat, ng ating Panginoong Hesus na mayroon lamang iisang tunay na Dios, walang iba kundi ang AMA.

👇👇👇
"Sapagka't aking ihahayag ang PANGALAN ng Panginoon: Dakilain ninyo ang ating Dios. Siya ang Bato, ang kaniyang gawa ay sakdal;
Sapagka't lahat niyang daan ay kahatulan: ISANG DIOS na tapat at walang kasamaan, Matuwid at banal siya. Ganyan ba ninyo
ginaganti ang PANGINOON, O mangmang na bayan at hindi pantas? Hindi ba siya ang iyong AMA na tumangkilik sa iyo? KANIYANG
NILALANG KA, AT ITINATAG." (Deuteronomio 32:3-4,6 TLAB)
"Wala baga tayong lahat na ISANG AMA? hindi baga ISANG DIOS ang lumalang sa atin? bakit tayo nagsisigawa ng paglililo bawa't isa
laban sa kaniyang kapatid, na nilalapastangan ang tipan ng ating mga magulang?" (Malakias 2:10)
"para sa atin IISA LAMANG ANG DIOS, ang ating AMA na lumikha ng lahat ng bagay, at nabubuhay tayo para sa kanya. At may iisang
Panginoon lamang, si Jesu-Cristo. Sa pamamagitan niya ay nilikha ang lahat ng bagay, at sa pamamagitan din niya ay nabubuhay tayo
ngayon." (1 Corinto 8:6 ASND)

"Ang mga bagay na ito ay sinalita ni Jesus; at sa pagtingala ng kaniyang mga mata sa langit, ay sinabi niya, AMA, .....At ito ang buhay
na walang hanggan, NA IKAW AY MAKILALA NILA NA IISANG DIOS NA TUNAY, at siyang iyong sinugo, sa makatuwid baga'y si
Jesucristo." (Juan 17:1&3)

CATHOLIC CHURCH ATTESTS CHURCH OF CHRIST

----
Even Catholic authorities attest that the Church is indeed called after Christ, from the earliest times has been called the “Christian
Church” or the “Church of Christ”:
“5. Did Jesus Christ establish a Church?
“Yes, from all history, both secular and profane, as well as from the Bible considered as a human document, we learn that Jesus
Christ established a Church, which from the earliest times has been called after Him the Christian Church or the CHURCH OF
CHRIST.” (Cassily, Francis B., S.J. Religion: Doctrine and Practice for use in Catholic High Schools. 12th and revised edition. Imprimi

"If the authority of Jesus is greater, then there is no escape from the conclusion that the Church which He Himself founded is to be
accepted by all men as the one and only true CHURCH OF CHRIST on earth." (90 Common Questions About Catholic Faith, John A.
O'Brien, p. 169)

"... the CHURCH OF CHRIST today must be in nature, in power, in teaching, what it was when it served men through the twelve
Apostles. It is to this Church that all are obliged to belong in order to be saved. Those people who through their own grave fault do
not know the true Church, or, knowing it, refuse to join it, cannot be saved." (INSTRUCTS JACKSON, By Most Rev. John Francis Noll,
D.D., LLD. Bishop of Fort Wayne & Rev. Lester J. Fallon, C.M., S.T.D. Director of The Confraternity Home Study Service, page 35-36)

"No Church can call itself Christian if its teachings are not in harmony with the Gospels. That is true. Since what the Gospels contain
is true, all that they teach must be included in the teaching of any Church which claims to be Christian." (THAT CATHOLIC CHURCH A

"Noe's ark is a magnificent symbol of the Church of Christ. The Church of Christ is the Salvation of all the souls. There can be no
salvation for those who, through their own fault, are out of the Church of Christ, ..." (BIBLE HISTORY FOR EVERYONE, Fr. Anatasio
Danieletti, p. 33)

"Christ is the door of the sheep (v.9): By me (through me as the door) if any man enter into the sheepfold, as one of the flock, he
shall be saved ... There is no entering into God's church but by coming into Christ's church; nor are any looked upon as members of
the kingdom of God among men but those that are willing to submit to the grace and government of the Redeemer." (Matthew
Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible Complete and Unabridged. Vol. Ill, Matthew Henry, pp. 595-596)

"This Church, founded and organized by Christ and preached by the Apostles, is the Church of Christ, ... It is the only true Church,
and the one which God orders all men to join." (Religion: Doctrine and Practice, Francis B. Cassily S.J., p. 444)

"It is the belief of the Protestants and "Born Again Christians" that all people who believe in Christ and accept Him as Lord and Savior
are included in the true Church of Christ regardless of what denomination or church they belong to." (OUR PROTESTANT FAITH,

"... Hindi galing kay Jesus ang pangalang "Iglesia Katolika Romana". Ngunit gaya nang sabi ng mga Ingles: "A rose by any other name
wilI be sweet still". Hindi pangalan ang dapat pagtalunan kungdi ang katotohanan." (Ang Iglesia ni Kristo at iba't ibang Sektang

“5. Si Jesucristo ba ay nagtatag ng Iglesia? Oo, mula sa lahat ng kasaysayan, kapuwa panlupa at hindi pangkabanalan, gayun-din mula
sa Biblia na kinikilalang isang makataong kasulatan, ating nalaman na si Jesucristo ay nagtatag ng isang Iglesia, na mula sa kauna-

"Ang Iglesia ay ang katawan ni Cristo, at si Cristo ang Tagapagligtas ng katawan; ....at sa labas ng katawang iyon ay walang
kaligtasan...."
----
Mabuti pa ang santo papa at mga pari na sumulat ng mga aklat na ito dahil alam nila ang TUNAY na RELIHIYON ay ang IGLESIA NI
CRISTO.
Hindi nila sinabi na IGLESIA KATOLIKA APOSTOLIKA ROMANA ang itinayo ng Panginoong Cristo Hesus at ipinangaral ng mga apostol.
"...the CHURCH OF CHRIST today must be in nature, in power, in teaching, what it was when it served men through the twelve
Apostles. It is to this Church that all are obliged to belong in order to be saved. Those people who through their own grave fault do
not know the true Church, or, knowing it, refuse to join it, cannot be save. " (Most Rev. John Francis Noll and Rev. Lester J. Fallon,
Father Smith Instructs Jackson, pp. 35-36)
"Unless we understand THAT THERE IS NO SALVATION OUTSIDE THE CHURCH, TRUE THERE IS ONLY ONE CHURCH OF CHRIST. SHE
ALONE is the BODY OF CHRIST and WITHOUT HER THERE IS NO SALVATION. OBEJECTIVELY AND PRACTICALLY CONSIDERED SHE IS
THE ORDINARY WAY OF SALVATION." (THE SPIRIT OF CATHOLISM, page 185)
"...the church of Christ, which has been devinely instituted for the sake of souls and of eternal salvation...." (Anne Fremantle, The
Papal Encyclicals: In Their Historical Context, p. 153)
Kaya ang ang tumanggi na umanib sa IGLESIA NI CRISTO ay HINDI MALILIGTAS!😇

SDA CHURCH ATTESTS CHURCH OF CHRIST

Maski ang autoridad ng Seventh Day Adventist ay sangayon na IGLESIA NI CRISTO ang pangalan ng tunay na itinayo ng
Panginoong Cristo Hesus noong unang siglo.
"Maliwanag na itinuturo ng Kasulatan na ang mga pangakong ito, na malayong maging ukol lamang sa panahon ng mga apostol, ay
umaabot sa IGLESIA NI KRISTO sa lahat ng panahon." (Ang Malaking Tunggalian, Panimula by Ellen G. White, page 10)
"Walang narating ang mga pagsisikap ni Satanas na gibain ang IGLESIA NI KRISTO sa pamamagitan ng dahas." (Ang Malaking
Tunggalian, Ellen G. White, page 33)
"At samantalang itinuturo na ang kaluwalhatian ng kaligtasan ay sa Diyos lamang, ay ipinahayag din naman niya na ang tungkuling
pagsunod ay sa tao. “Kung ikaw ay isang kaanib ng IGLESIA NI KRISTO,” ang wika niya, “ay isang sangkap nga ikaw ng Kanyang
katawan; kung ikaw ay sa Kanyang katawan, kung gayo’y puno ka ng banal na katutubo ng Diyos. . . . Oh, kung mauunawaan lamang
ng mga tao ang tanging karapatang ito, gaano nga kadalisay, kalinis, at gaano kabanal na mamumuhay sila, at gaano nga ang
gagawin nilang paghamak sa lahat ng kaluwalhatian ng sanlibutang ito, kung ihahambing sa kaluwalhatiang nasa kanila—
kaluwalhatiang di-nakikita ng mata ng laman." (Ang Malaking Tunggalian, Ellen G. White, page 189-190)

Pinatotohanan din ni Ellen G. White na ang Iglesia Ni Cristo ay binili ng dugo ni Kristo.
"The church of Christ has been purchased with His blood, and every shepherd should realize that the sheep under his care cost an
infinite sacrifice." (Patriachs and Prophets, Ellen G. White, page 164)
TAGALOG: "Ang Iglesia Ni Cristo ay natubos ng kaniyang dugo, at bawat tagapagalaga ay dapat malaman na ang tupa sa ilalim ng
kaniyang pangangalaga ay nagkakahalaga ng walang katapusang pagalalay."
🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

----
TANONG: Bakit kaya IGLESIA NI CRISTO ang nasa libro ni Ellen G. White at hindi Seventh Day Advenist?
SAGOT: Sapagkat ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO ay matagal ng nakasulat sa Banal na Kasulatan na ito ay mababasa sa Roma 16:16 at Gawa
20:28 samantalang ang pangalang Seventh-day Adventist ay lumitaw lang noong 1860, at ito ay wala sa Banal na Kasulatan.
"The result was that in 1860 a church name, Seventh-day Adventist, was chosen ...." (Seventh Day Adventist Church Manual, page
1/xx)
TAGALOG: "Ang resulta ay noong 1860 ang pangalan ng iglesia, Seventh-day Adventist, ay napili...."
JESUS SAID THE WORLD WILL HATE THE DISCIPLES BECAUSE OF HIS NAME.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do
not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A
servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey
yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken
to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. If I had
not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both
me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’” (John 15:18-25)

-------
Hindi na kataka-taka kung bakit may mga taong galit sa IGLESIA NI CRISTO, sapagkat ipinagpauna na ng Panginoong Hesus na ang
kaniyang mga alagad ay kapopootan ng lahat dahil sa kaniyang PANGALAN.

"At kayo'y kapopootan ng lahat ng mga tao dahil sa aking pangalan: datapuwa't ang magtitiis hanggang sa wakas, ay siyang
maliligtas." (Mateo 10:22, Markos 13:13)

"At kayo'y kapopootan ng lahat ng mga tao dahil sa aking pangalan." (Lukas 21:17)

"Datapuwa't ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay gagawin nila sa inyo dahil sa aking pangalan, sapagka't hindi nila nakikilala ang sa akin
ay nagsugo." (Juan 15:21)

Kahayagan lang na ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO ang nagiisang tunay na relihiyon sa mundo.

🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
--MORTAL to IMMORTALITY
For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. (1 Corinthians 15:53)

--HOLY AND BLAMELESS


“just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love” (Eph.
1:4)
“But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free
from accusation—“(Col. 1:22)
“and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.” (Eph.
5:27)

--FELLOW HEIRS WITH CHRIST


“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with
Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.”(Romans 8:16-17)

--MEMBERS OF THE HOLY FAMILY AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF JESUS CHRIST
“Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. SO JESUS IS NOT ASHAMED TO CALL
THEM BROTHERS AND SISTERS.[14]12He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your
praises.”[15]”( Heb. 2:11-12, Ps. 22:22)

--BORN OF GOD
“children born not of blood, nor will of the flesh, nor will of man, but born of God.” (John 1:13)

--NO CONDEMNATION
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] who do not walk according to the flesh, but according
to the Spirit.” (Rom. 8:1)

---Why there is no condemnation to those who are of Christ?? As verse 2 stated “because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit
who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death”
Who are those set free from the law of sin and death? The church, As the Lord Jesus Christ stated that the church will not be
overcome by death and hades or eternal hell.
“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” (Matthew
16:18 NIV)
“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew
16:18 RSV)
For Death and Hades are thrown in the lake of fire “Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second
death, the lake of fire” (Rev. 20:14), where the ungodly men will be tormented day and night, without rest, forever and ever. (Rev.
20:14). In short, the church is saved
Why the church is not overcome by Death and Hades? Bcoz those who are of Christ are baptized in ONE SPIRIT to FORM ONE BODY
“12Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13FOR WE WERE ALL
BAPTIZED BY[36] ONE SPIRIT SO AS TO FORM ONE BODY—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one
Spirit to drink.” (1 Cor. 12:12-13)
Those who have 1 SPIRIT with the Lord are forming ONE BODY. And that ONE BODY is the church headed by Christ, which is the
church of Christ.
“And he is the head of the body, the church...” (Colossians 1:18 NIV)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed THE CHURCH
OF CHRIST WHICH HE HAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).”
That’s why Apostle Paul stated “4 There is ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one
Lord, one faith, ONE BAPTISM, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.” (Eph. 4:4-6)

--NOT OF THIS WORLD


“If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, but I
have chosen you out of the world.”(John 5:19)
“They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” (John 17:16)
--LIGHTS of the WORLD
--If being called LIGHT means God, then the disciples of Jesus who are called LIGHTS are also Gods(If I will follow ur
interpretation)??
“That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as LIGHTS IN THE WORLD;” (Phil. 2:15)
“14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matt. 5:14)

--DO GREATER WORKS THAN CHRIST


Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me WILL ALSO DO THE WORKS THAT I AM DOING. HE WILL DO EVEN GREATER THINGS
THAN THESE, because I am going to the Father.(John 14:12)

That’s why the Lord Jesus attested “So Jesus said to those who BELIEVED IN HIM, ‘If you OBEY MY TEACHING, you are really my
disciples’.” (John 8:31, Today’s English Version)

--WILL JUDGE THE WORLD


“1 When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter
instead of taking it to other believers! 2 DON’T YOU REALIZE THAT SOMEDAY WE BELIEVERS WILL JUDGE THE WORLD? And since you
are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves? 3 DON’T YOU REALIZE THAT WE WILL
JUDGE ANGELS? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life. (1 Corinthians 6:1-4)

“I SAW THRONES ON WHICH WERE SEATED THOSE WHO HAD BEEN GIVEN AUTHORITY TO JUDGE. And I saw the souls of those who
had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They[44] had not worshiped the beast
or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand
years.” (Rev.20:4)

--Abraham’s seeds
“The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to
your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ. “(Gal. 3:16)
And if you [ak]belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s [al]descendants, heirs according to promise. (Gal. 3:29)

---A Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome


“And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be
gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will
come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. (2 Timothy 2:24-26)
CHRIST IS ABOVE ANGELS
How was CHRIST LOWER than angels and be above the angels?
Our Lord Jesus Christ become LOWER than angels when "For He(FATHER) made Him(Christ) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that
we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (II Corinthians 5:21, NKJV)

After God the FATHER raised Christ from the dead and ascended to heaven, GOD exalted Christ, “GOD EXALTED HIM TO HIS OWN
RIGHT HAND AS PRINCE AND Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.”(Acts 5:31)

Jesus's exaltation did not occur before he was born, neither during his ministry on earth. It happens after when he ascended to
heaven and sat at the right hand of God.
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. AFTER
HE HAD PROVIDED PURIFICATION FOR SINS, HE SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MAJESTY IN HEAVEN. SO HE BECAME AS
MUCH SUPERIOR TO THE ANGELS AS THE NAME HE HAS INHERITED IS SUPERIOR TO THEIRS” (Hebrews 1:3-4)
The superiority of Christ is not inherent on him, as the FATHER gave him all authorities (Matt. 28:18), because he inherited it to the
FATHER (Heb.1:4).

ACTS 20:28 IS ABOVE ANGELS


In fact, it was not just Christ who is above angels, but also those who will be saved on Judgement Day. For God has not
subjected the world to come to the angels (Heb. 2:5), but to those who are part of the holy family (Heb. 2:11), those whom
Jesus calls brothers and sisters (Heb. 2:11-12), those who are worthy of salvation from the day of Judgement and from the
DEATH (Heb. 2:14-15), which are in the church of Christ (Matt. 16:18, Acts 20:28 LAMSA).
“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, AND THE GATES OF HADES WILL NOT
OVERCOME IT.” (Matt. 16:18)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the
church of Christ which he has purchased with His blood (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).”

That’s why the Psalmist stated “what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You
have made them a little lower than the angels, and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works
of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and
the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.”(Psalm 8:4-8)

Bcoz we are fellow-heirs with Christ, as Apostle Paul stated,


“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, HEIRS ALSO, HEIRS OF GOD AND
FELLOW HEIRS WITH CHRIST, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.”(Romans 8:16-17)
“Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. SO JESUS IS NOT ASHAMED TO
CALL THEM BROTHERS AND SISTERS.[14]12He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will
sing your praises.”[15]” (Hebrews 2:11-12, Ps. 22:220)
“Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I
ascend unto MY FATHER, and your Father; and to MY GOD, and your God.”(John 20:17)

That’s why our Lord Jesus Christ said “I WILL GRANT THE RIGHT TO SIT WITH ME ON MY THRONE”, because we share with
Christ.
“To the one who is victorious, I WILL GRANT THE RIGHT TO SIT WITH ME ON MY THRONE, just as I overcame and sat down with
My Father on His throne.” (Rev. 3:21)
“For we have become partners of Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end.”(Heb. 3:14)
HUMANS AS INHERITOR
Humans were created to rule God’s creations. That’s why the Psalmist stated “what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human
beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels, and crowned them with glory and honor. You
made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the
wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.”(Psalm 8:4-8)

For God has not subjected the world to come to the angels(Heb. 2:5), but to those who are part of the holy family(Heb. 2:11),
those whom Jesus calls brothers and sisters(Heb. 2:11-12), those who are worthy of salvation from the day of Judgement and
from the DEATH(Heb. 2:14-15), which are in the church of Christ(Matt. 16:18, Acts 20:28 LAMSA).
“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, AND THE GATES OF HADES[59; realm of dead]
WILL NOT OVERCOME IT.” (Matt. 16:18)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the
church of Christ which he has purchased with His blood (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).”

Bcoz we are fellow-heirs with Christ. As Apostle Paul stated.


“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, HEIRS ALSO, HEIRS OF GOD AND
FELLOW HEIRS WITH CHRIST, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.”(Romans 8:16-17)
“Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. SO JESUS IS NOT ASHAMED TO
CALL THEM BROTHERS AND SISTERS.[14]12He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will
sing your praises.”[15]”( Heb. 2:11-12, Ps. 22:220
“Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I
ascend unto MY FATHER, and your Father; and to MY GOD, and your God.”(John 20:17)

That’s why our Lord Jesus Christ said “I WILL GRANT THE RIGHT TO SIT WITH ME ON MY THRONE”, because we share with
Christ.
“To the one who is victorious, I WILL GRANT THE RIGHT TO SIT WITH ME ON MY THRONE, just as I overcame and sat down with
My Father on His throne.” (Rev. 3:21)
“For we have become partners of Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end.”(Heb. 3:14)

But when man sinned against God, they become God’s enemies.

-----
The Lord Jesus Christ died for the Church, THE CHURCH OF CHRIST ONLY.

"Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church. CHRIST DIED FOR THE CHURCH." (Ephesians 5:25 ICB)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed THE CHURCH
OF CHRIST WHICH HE HAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD. (Acts 20:28 GLT)

Ang Panginoong Cristo Jesus ay namatay para sa IGLESIA, ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO LAMANG.
"Mga lalaki, mahalin ninyo ang inyong asawa na gaya ng pagmamahal ni Cristo sa iglesia. INIHANDOG NIYA ANG KANYANG BUHAY
PARA SA IGLESIA..." (Mga Taga-Efeso 5:25 MBBTAG12)
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
CHURCH OF GOD is also the CHURCH OF CHRIST
THE CHURCH OF GOD is also the CHURCH OF CHRIST.
In 1 Corinthians 1:2 we can read “Church of God”: “To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ
Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.” (I Corinthians
1:2 NKJV)
But, this is only to show that the “Church of Christ” is also of God. This is what the Bible testifies in I Thessalonians 2:14:
“Brothers and sisters, you followed the example of the CHURCHES OF GOD in Judea, CHURCHES OF CHRIST JESUS. For you suffered
from your compatriots the same trials they suffered from the Jews.” (I Thessalonians 2:14 CCB)
The “Church of Christ” is also the “Church of God,”; the “Church of God” is also the “Church of Christ” because Christ said, “All I have
is yours, and all you have is mine”:
“9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, BUT FOR THOSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME, FOR THEY ARE YOURS. 10 ALL I HAVE IS
YOURS, AND ALL YOU HAVE IS MINE. And glory has come to me through them.” (John 17:9-10 NIV)
However, the “official name” is “Church of Christ.” How official or authoritative the name “Church of Christ”? This is what the Bible
says in Acts 4:12:
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is NO OTHER NAME under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12
NIV)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the church of
Christ which he has purchased with His blood (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).”
Also, THE CHURCH OF GOD is also the CHURCH OF CHRIST because God and Christ are ONE in taking care of the sheep of Christ (John
10:28-30).
No one can claim that they are the one true Church if they are not called in the name “Church of Christ.” The Bible said, “...there is
no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

-----
ANG IGLESIA NG DIYOS ay IGLESIA NI CRISTO din.
Sa mga taga 1 Corinto 1:2 ay mababasa natin ang “Iglesia ng Dios”: "Sa iglesia ng Dios na nasa Corinto, sa makatuwid baga'y sa mga
pinapagingbanal kay Cristo Jesus, na tinawag na mangagbanal, na kasama ng lahat ng mga nagsisitawag sa bawa't dako, sa pangalan
ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, na kanila at ating Panginoon:" (1 Corinto 1:2)
Ngunit, ito ay para lamang ipakita na ang “Iglesia ni Cristo” ay sa Dios din. Ito ang pinatototohanan ng Bibliya sa I Tesalonica 2:14:

“Mga kapatid, tinularan ninyo ang halimbawa ng mga 👉IGLESIA NG DIOS👈 sa Judea, mga 👉IGLESIA NI CRISTO JESUS👈. Sapagkat
dinanas ninyo mula sa inyong mga kababayan ang parehong mga pagsubok na dinanas nila mula sa mga Judio.” (I Tesalonica 2:14
CCB)
Ang “Iglesia ni Cristo” ay ang “Iglesia ng Dios,”; ang “Iglesia ng Dios” ay “Iglesia ni Cristo” din dahil sinabi ni Cristo, “Ang lahat ng
mayroon ako ay sa iyo, at lahat ng mayroon ka ay akin”: “Idinadalangin ko sila. Hindi ako nananalangin para sa mga taong
makamundo kundi para sa mga taong ibinigay mo sa akin, DAHIL SILA AY SA IYO. ANG LAHAT NG AKIN AY SA IYO, AT ANG LAHAT NG
IYO AY SA AKIN, at napaparangalan ako sa pamamagitan nila." (Juan 17:9-10 ASND)
Gayunpaman, ang "opisyal na pangalan" ay "Iglesia ni Cristo." Gaano ka opisyal o awtoritatibo ang pangalang “Iglesia ni Cristo”? Ito
ang sinasabi ng Bibliya sa Mga Gawa 4:12:
"Ang kaligtasan ay hindi matatagpuan sa kanino man, sapagkat WALANG IBANG PANGALAN sa silong ng langit na ibinigay sa mga
tao upang tayo ay maligtas." (Mga Gawa 4:12 NIV)
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO na binili niya ng kaniyang dugo.” (Gawa 20:28, GLT)
Gayundin, ang IGLESIA NG DIOS ay IGLESIA NI CRISTO din dahil ang Diyos at si Kristo ay IISA sa pag-aalaga sa mga tupa ni Kristo (Juan
10:28-30).
Walang sinuman ang makapagsasabing sila ang isang tunay na Iglesia kung hindi sila tatawagin sa pangalang “Iglesia ni Cristo.” Ang
sabi ng Bibliya, “...walang ibang pangalan sa silong ng langit na ibinigay sa mga tao upang tayo ay maligtas.”
-----
Ang Iglesia Ng Dios ay siya ding Iglesia Ni Cristo, sapagkat ang kay Cristo ay sa Dios din (Juan 17:9-10).
Nilinaw ng Panginoong HesuCristo na "WALANG TAONG MAKAKAPUNTA SA AMA MALIBAN DUMAAN SA KANIYA" (Juan 14:6).
At ang tamang pagdaan kay Cristo ay ang pagpasok sa kaniyang kawan na ito ay ang Iglesia Ni Cristo (Juan 10:7&9 REB, Gawa 20:28
GLT).

Ayon din sa pagtuturo ni Apostol Pablo, ang taong nasa kadaliman at tinubos ng mahalagang dugo ni Cristo ay dinadala sa kaharian
ng Anak, na ang kaharian ng Anak ay ang Iglesia Ni Cristo.
"Na siyang nagligtas sa atin sa kapangyarihan ng kadiliman, at naglipat sa atin sa KAHARIAN NG ANAK ng kaniyang pagibig; Na siyang
kinaroroonan ng ating katubusan, na siyang kapatawaran ng ating mga kasalanan:" (Mga Taga-Colosas 1:13-14 TLAB)
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28, GLT)

Kaya malinaw sa pagtuturo ng Biblia na ang mga taong nagnanais maligtas ay kailangan munang mapaanib sa Iglesia Ni Cristo bago
makarating sa Iglesia Ng Dios.

BIBLE TRANSLATIONS = BIBLE COPIES vs INTERNAL EVIDENCE


The different Bibles we used today are copies of the original Scripture. Some words or terms from the copies are changed or altered
because of the belief of the different translators.
The unique way of Bible teaching is taught by Apostle Paul. Apostle Paul says, "These things we also speak, not in words which man's
wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual" (I Cor. 2:13, King James Version).
Spiritual things will not contradict with other spiritual things when they are compared with one another. IN NO WAY WILL THEY
MANIFEST DISAGREEMENT, BUT ONLY HARMONY AND UNITY. They go together perfectly well-at all times. With this apostolic
method of teaching, nothing is added to or taken away from the Word. Consequently, when one Bible verse seems to clash in
meaning with another verse, the former or the latter is either mistranslated or misinterpreted.

Ang AMA lamang ang may Ari, at nagtatag ng IGLESIA, At hindi si Cristo 👇👇👇

CHURCH OF THE LORD
No one can proof that church of God is the original text, for the original text written by the apostles are gone. Only copies from the

May mga salin ng Acts 20:28 na mababasa “church of the Lord” o “IGLESIA NG PANGINOON”
Acts 20:28 “προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ ποιμνίῳ, ἐν ᾧ ὑμᾶς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἔθετο ἐπισκόπους, ποιμαίνειν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν
τοῦ κυρίου, ἣν περιεποιήσατο διὰ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ ἰδίου.” (Acts 20:28, Tischendorf Greek New Testament)
“ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ κυρίου” o “EKKLĒSIAN TOU KURIOU” o church of the Lord in ENGLISH
“Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the CHURCH OF THE LORD
which he purchased with his own blood.” [Acts 20:28, American Standard Version]

LAMSA’s CHURCH OF CHRIST


The reason why Mr. George M. Lamsa wrote church of Christ on Acts 20:28 is because “The Eastern text reads: "the Church Of Christ
which he has purchased with his blood. Jewish Christians could not have used the term “God”, because in their eyes God is spirit,
and spirit has no flesh and blood. It was Jesus of Nazareth who shed his blood on the cross for us, and not God.” [George M. Lamsa,
New Testament Commentary, pp. 149 - 150]
-----
The translation of Acts 20:28 “church of God” is erroneous, Acts 20:28 with translation “church of God” states “the church is
purchased by blood”.
“Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the CHURCH OF GOD
which he hath purchased with his own blood.” [Acts 20:28 KJV]
God does not have blood, because God is a Spirit(John 4:24) and a Spirit does NOT HAVE FLESH AND BONES(Luke. 24:39). So God
cannot purchase the church with blood, for God does not have blood. Unless, Trinitarians and Jesus is God theology insist that God
or a Spirit have blood?
On the other hand, Jesus Christ is a man (human) before(JOHN 8:40) and after resurrection(LUKE. 24:39), even when he reached
heaven(HEB. 10:12) (ACTS 2:22) (1 TIM. 2:5). Therefore Jesus is the Lord that purchased the church with his own blood. As what Rev.
5:8-9 and Heb. 9:13-14 stated,
“And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb (Jesus – John 1:29). Each
one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. And they sang a new
song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, BECAUSE YOU WERE SLAIN, AND WITH YOUR BLOOD YOU
PURCHASED FOR GOD PERSONS FROM EVERY TRIBE AND LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE AND NATION. You have made them to be a
kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”(Revelation 5:8-9)
“The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they
are outwardly clean. HOW MUCH MORE, THEN, WILL THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, WHO THROUGH THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OFFERED
HIMSELF UNBLEMISHED TO GOD, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living
God”(Hebrews 9:13-14)
CONCLUSION: It is Christ who purchased the church with his own blood and not God, for God is a Spirit(John 4:24) and a Spirit does
NOT HAVE FLESH AND BONES(Luke. 24:39). In short, GOD HAVE NO BLOOD.

Ayon sa pagtuturo ng Banal na Kasulatan, ang Panginoong Hesus ang tumubos o bumili sa IGLESIA NI CRISTO. (Efesos 1:7, Apoc. 5:9,
Gawa 20:28)

"TINUBOS TAYO NI CRISTO SA PAMAMAGITAN NG KANYANG DUGO, at sa gayon ay pinatawad na ang ating mga kasalanan. Ganoon
kadakila ang kanyang kagandahang-loob..." (Mga Taga-Efeso 1:7 RTPV05)

"At sila'y nag-aawitan ng isang bagong awit, na nagsasabi, “Ikaw ay karapat-dapat na kumuha sa aklat at magbukas ng mga tatak

lipi, wika, bayan, at bansa." (APOCALIPSIS 5:9 ABTAG01)

“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
INTERNAL EVIDENCE OF CHURCH OF CHRIST
Most importantly, we can turn to internal scripture evidence to see whether the rendition "church of Christ" is correct or not.
Apostle Paul says, "These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches,
comparing spiritual things with spiritual" (I Cor. 2:13, King James Version).

Spiritual things will not contradict with other spiritual things when they are compared with one another. In no way will they manifest
disagreement, but only harmony and unity. They go together perfectly well-at all times. With this apostolic method of teaching,
nothing is added to or taken away from the Word. Consequently, when one Bible verse seems to clash in meaning with another
verse, the former or the latter is either mistranslated or misinterpreted.

Based on scriptural evidence, we can conclude that "church of Christ" is the more accurate rendition because the latter part of the
verse states, "which he purchased with his own blood". The rendering "church of God" would mean that it is God who died and shed
blood on the cross. This would contradict other bible verses that teach God is immortal (1 Timothy 1:17) and that God is a spirit
(John 4:24), has no flesh and bones (Lk. 24:36-39), and therefore has no blood. It is the Lord Jesus Christ's blood, which washed the
members of the Church of their sins (Heb. 5:19, I Pt. 1:18-19; Rev. 1:5, Rev. 5:9).

IGLESIA NI CRISTO: CHURCH OF MAN?


The Iglesia ni Cristo upholds the belief that the Lord Jesus Christ is man because this is what He Himself and His apostles taught as
recorded in the Scriptures (cf. Jn. 8:40; I Tim. 2:5; Acts 2:22; Mt. 1:20). This does not imply, however, that the Church Jesus founded
or the Church of Christ must necessarily be a church of man and not of God.

In fact, to be of God, one must first be of Christ. As Jesus Himself attests “…I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through Me.” (Jn. 14:6, NKJV) For one to reach God and to be able to partake of Christ’s saving grace, he must be
drawn by God to His Son (cf. Jn. 6:44). However, those who have been drawn or given to Christ by the Father are of God as Christ
attests:

“I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you
have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.” (Jn. 17:9-10, NIV)

Furthermore, the teachings that the Lord Jesus Christ preached were not His own but those that been taught to Him by the Father
– the only true God (cf. Jn. 8:28; 17:1, 3). Even the works that Christ did were not His own but those of His Father (cf. Jn. 5:36). In the
same way, the Church He established is one that belongs to God for what is followed and obeyed therein are not commandments of
men but the teachings of the Almighty Father. Hence, the Church of Christ, although founded by the man Jesus Christ, is of God.

In Syriac,Vulgate,Peshitta and Greek and other ones,it is Church of Christ.


In KJV,NIV,NKJV, it is Church of God.
But in all versions,even Catholic ones are printed the Church as Church of Christ/Iglesia ni Cristo,as stated in Romans 16:16.

QUESTIONS
1. Who purchase the church with his own blood? Is it God the Father? Or his Son Jesus Christ?
2. How can God purchased the church if God is a SPIRIT, having no flesh and bones? Are u saying that God’s form was just blood??
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD FIRST
The Lord Jesus admonishes all those who want to attain eternal life or salvation to “seek first the kingdom of God”:
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33 NIV)

The “kingdom of God” the Lord Jesus Christ referring to is His “flock” (Luke 12:32), also called the “kingdom of the Son” whom we
have redemption through His blood: “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son
of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:13-14 NKJV)

Who was redeemed through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ? Acts 20:28 reads: “Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the
flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the church of Christ which he has purchased with His blood.”
(Acts 20:28 GLT)

Thus, the “kingdom” the Lord Jesus Christ admonishes us to seek first is the Church of Christ which He has purchased (redeemed)
with His blood.
“But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon
thousands of angels in joyful assembly, TO THE CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to
God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled
blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.”(Heb.12:22-24)

SEEK FIRST THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD FIRST


The Lord Jesus admonishes all those who want to attain eternal life or salvation to “seek God’s righteousness first”:
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33 NIV)

The RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS CHRIST “Christ was without sin, but for our sake God made him share our sin in order that in union
with him WE MIGHT SHARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD” (II Cor. 5:21, TEV)
Apostle Paul clearly states that through union with Christ ONE MIGHT SHARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. How can someone
achieve to have union with Christ?
Apostle Paul teaches that “But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.” (1 Corinthians 6:17)
Apostle Paul clearly states that anyone who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit. How can someone have ONE
SPIRIT with the Lord?
“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. FOR WE WERE ALL BAPTIZED
BY ONE SPIRIT SO AS TO FORM ONE BODY—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.”
(1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
Those who have ONE SPIRIT with the Lord are forming ONE BODY, and that ONE BODY is the church headed by Christ, which is the
church of Christ.
“And he is the head of the body, the church...” (Colossians 1:18 NIV)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed THE CHURCH
OF CHRIST WHICH HE HAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD.” (Acts 20:28 GLT)
That’s why Apostle Paul stated “4 There is ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one
Lord, one faith, ONE BAPTISM, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:4-6)
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." (John 14:6)
What is the way, the truth and the life that Jesus taught?
“so he explained it to them: “I tell you the TRUTH, I am the gate for the sheep.”
“I am the DOOR. If anyone enters by Me, he will be SAVED...” (John 10:7&9 NKJV)

Christ said, “If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved.” Christ is not referring to His physical body, but to the Church (Col. 1:18),
which is called Church Of Christ (Romans 16:16, ACTS 20:28, LAMSA).
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the church of
Christ which he has purchased with His blood.” (Acts 20:28, Lamsa)

Mga Dapat Gawing Ng Ibig Maligtas
https://youtu.be/Mw0VNX7O8v0
WHY JESUS IS BAPTIZED IF HE IS WITHOUT SIN??
If Jesus Christ, being holy, has need of baptism, then we definitely need it.
He set the ultimate example, and if we are to follow Him we should also be baptized. Jesus Christ's example was one of never
varying from the straight and narrow path--being obedient to His Father's commands in ALL things. Thus, He showed his humility
and obedience to the Father by being baptized to "fulfil all righteousness"

In Matthew 4:19, it says, And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
The Apostle Peter taught that baptism was a commandment in Acts 2:28.

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. How can we follow the example of Jesus, save we are willing to keep the commandments of
the Father?

WHAT ARE THE SINS THAT ARE FORGIVEN WHEN WE RECEIVE BAPTISM??

What are the sins that are forgiven when we receive baptism?? The sins that are forgiven are the sins we committed before baptism.
“20 People can be made free from the evil in the world. They can be made free by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. BUT IF
THEY GO BACK INTO THOSE EVIL THINGS AND ARE CONTROLLED BY THEM, THEN IT IS WORSE FOR THEM THAN IT WAS BEFORE. 21
Yes, it would be better for them to have never known the right way. That would be better than to know the right way and then to
turn away from the holy teaching that was given to them. 22 What they did is like these true sayings: “A dog vomits and goes back to
what it threw up.”[c] And, “After a pig is washed, it goes back and rolls in the mud again.” (2 Pet. 2:20-22, ERV)

THE IMPORTANCE OF BAPTISM


1. One needs to receive first true baptism in order to become a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ: “Go therefore and make disciples of
all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19, NKJV)

2. One needs to receive the true baptism to receive forgiveness of sins: “Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in
the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38 NIV)
For one to receive forgiveness of sins, the Bible did not said to “repent only,” but to “Repent and be baptized…for the forgiveness of
your sins.”

3. One needs not only to believe but believe and be baptized in order to be saved: “And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be
condemned.” (Mark 16:15-16, NKJV)
For when we receive the true baptism we were baptized in Jesus’s death and into his resurrection “3 Do you not know that all of us
who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death,
in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we
have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his” (Rom. 6:3-5)
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CHURCH
1. The church is the body of Christ “For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ
is himself the Savior of the church, his body.” (Ephesians 5:23 TEV)

For the people who receive the true baptism is baptized in the ONE BODY OF CHRIST “For [j]by one Spirit we were all baptized into
one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.” (1 Cor. 12:13)

2. The church will not be overcome by death and hades or eternal hell.
“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” (Matthew
16:18 NIV)
“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew
16:18 RSV)
For Death and Hades are thrown in the lake of fire
“Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.” (Rev. 20:14)
“where the ungodly men will be tormented day and night, without rest, forever and ever.” (Rev. 20:7-10)

---In short, the church is saved

3. Jesus purchased the church with his own blood. “Take heed therefore to yourselves over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you
overseers to feed the church of Christ which he has purchased with his blood.” (Acts 20:28, Lamsa)

4. The people who are saved are added in the church “Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to
the church daily such as should be saved.” (Acts 2:47)

5. The church is saved by the Lord Jesus Christ because he had the authority of his church.
“For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Savior of the church,
his body. “Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.” (Ephesians 5:23 and 25, TEV)

For we are all baptized in one Spirit as to form one body.


“12Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13FOR WE WERE ALL
BAPTIZED BY[36] ONE SPIRIT SO AS TO FORM ONE BODY—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one
Spirit to drink.” (1 Cor. 12:12-13)
That’s why Apostle Paul stated “4 There is ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one
Lord, one faith, ONE BAPTISM, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.” (Eph. 4:4-6)
And that body is the church which is headed by the Lord Jesus Christ, the church of Christ.
“And he is the head of the body, the church...” (Colossians 1:18 NIV)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed THE CHURCH
OF CHRIST WHICH HE HAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).”

CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST IS NOT A BUILDING
The church built by the Lord Jesus Christ is not a building but his body.
“Jesus answered them, “Destroy this [h]temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It took forty-six years to
build this [i]temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” BUT HE WAS SPEAKING OF THE [J]TEMPLE OF HIS BODY. So when He was
raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had
spoken.” (John 2:19-22)
That’s why our Lord Jess Christ stated “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH and the gates of
Hades will not overcome it.” (Matt. 16:18 NIV)
The church is the body of Christ and Jesus himself who is in heaven is the head of the church/body((Ep. 5:23, Col. 1:18).
“For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Savior of the church,
his body.” (Ephesians 5:23 TEV)
“And he is the head of the body, the church...” (Colossians 1:18 NIV)
Christ is the head and the Church is His body, thus, in the sight of God, Jesus and His Church stands as "one new man”:
“By abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. HIS PURPOSE WAS TO CREATE IN HIMSELF ONE NEW
MAN OUT OF THE TWO, thus making peace.” (Ephesians 2:15 NIV)

******
Ang iglesia na itinayo ng Panginoong Cristo Hesus ay hindi gusali/building kundi ito ay ang kaniyang katawan.
"Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Gibain ninyo ang templong ito, at sa loob ng tatlong araw ay itatayo kong muli.” Sinabi naman nila, “Ginawa
ang templong ito ng 46 na taon at itatayo mo sa loob lang ng tatlong araw?” Pero hindi nila naintindihan na ang templong tinutukoy
ni Jesus ay ang kanyang KATAWAN." (Juan 2:19-21 ASND)
Na ang katawan ay walang iba kundi ang iglesia, ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO
"At siya ang ulo ng katawan, sa makatuwid baga'y ng iglesia; na siya ang pasimula, ang panganay sa mga patay; upang sa lahat ng
mga bagay, ay magkaroon siya ng kadakilaan." (Colossians 1:18)
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28, GLT)

BODY OF CHRIST WITH MANY MEMBERS


The church/body members are not only located in 1 place, that’s why Apostle Paul write letters to the Romans, Ephesians,
Thessalonians, Corinthians, etc. because there are brothers in faith there. Apostle Paul would not write letters to those placed if there
are no brothers there. But as a whole they are gathered in 1 BODY, which is the church of Christ
“13 Each of us is a part of the one body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But
the Holy Spirit has fitted us all together into one body. We have been baptized into Christ’s body by the one Spirit, and have all been
given that same Holy Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:13)
“4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function” (Rom. 12:4)

Likewise in the INC. the INC would not address brothers in Africa if there are no brothers in faith there, and so on.

######
Apostle Paul highlighted in Colossians 1:18 that “Church” is the body of Christ. He further specified the name of the Church that is
the body of Christ – Church of Christ (Acts 20:28, Lamsa Translation). So when the Lord Jesus Christ enjoins people to come into the
fold or flock (John 10:9, Revised English Bible). He is telling people to join His Church, the Church of Christ.
In a book written by Don De Welt, The Church in the Bible:
“One hundred and ninety two times we have the word ‘church’ in our English New Testament. Each time it is a translation from the
Greek word ’ekklesia’. What is the root meaning of this term? In Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, he says
‘Ekklesia: “called out or forth”’ (Page 195). It is translated not only with the English word ‘church’ but also ‘congregation’ and
‘assembly’. As you have probably known before, it does not and cannot refer to a building, but rather to people, and to particular
people, those who are called out.” (Don De Welt. The Church in The Bible. Jopline, Missouri, U.S.A.: College Press, 1958. Page 13)
Don De Welt stated the importance of joining the Church that is the body of Christ:
“To be a member of the church of the New Testament, meant the same as it did to have the forgiveness of sins or to be saved. Here
is evidence of this fact:
1. In Acts 2:47, two things were happening day by day: 1. Persons were being saved. 2. These same persons were being added by the
Lord to the church.” (Don De Welt. The Church in The Bible. Jopline, Missouri, U.S.A.: College Press, 1958. Page 151)
IGLESIA NI CRISTO AYON SA KAUTUSAN
Tanging ang katawan/IGLESIA NI CRISTO lamang ang ililigtas ng Panginoong Kristo Hesus dahil ito ay ayon sa kautusan.

Ang Panginoong Hesus ay naging tagapagligtas ayon sa pagtupad niya sa kautusan.


"Huwag ninyong isiping ako'y naparito upang sirain ang kautusan o ang mga propeta: ako'y naparito hindi upang sirain, kundi upang
ganapin." (Mateo 5:17)

At ayon sa kautusan “bawa't tao'y papatayin dahil sa kaniyang sariling kasalanan”;


“Hindi papatayin ang mga magulang dahil sa mga anak, ni ang mga anak ay papatayin dahil sa mga magulang; bawa't tao'y papatayin
dahil sa kaniyang sariling kasalanan.” (Deuteronomio 24:16)

Kaya nagtayo ang Panginoong Hesus ng iglesia.


"At sinasabi ko naman sa iyo, na ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesia; at ang mga pintuan ng
Hades ay hindi magsisipanaig laban sa kaniya." (Mateo 16:18)

At ang Iglesia ay ang katawan ng Panginoong Hesus na sya ang ulo nito.
"At siya ang ulo ng katawan, sa makatuwid baga'y ng iglesia; ......" (Colossians 1:18)

Ang katawan/iglesia at ang Panginoong Hesus na ulo ng iglesia ay isang taong bago sa harapan ng Dios.
“Na inalis ang pagkakaalit sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang laman, kahit kautusan na may mga batas at ang palatuntunan; upang sa
dalawa ay lalangin sa kaniyang sarili ang isang taong bago, sa ganito'y ginagawa ang kapayapaan.” (Efeso 2:15)

Kaya tanging ang katawan o iglesia lamang ang ililigtas ng Panginoong Hesus ayon sa kautusan. At ang Panginoong Hesus ay naparito
upang tuparin ang kautusan at hindi sirain ito(Mateo 5:17).
"Mga lalaki, ibigin ninyo ang inyu-inyong asawa, gaya ng pag-ibig ni Cristo sa iglesya. Inihandog niya ang kanyang buhay para rito.”
(Efeso 5:23)

At ang iglesiang pinaghundugan ng buhay ng Panginoong Hesus ay walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28, GLT)

SA IGLESIA NI CRISTO IDINADAGDAG ANG MGA TAONG MALILIGTAS


Ang Dios ang nagdaragdag sa IGLESIA NI CRISTO ng mga taong maliligtas. Mapa OLD COVENANT PEOPLE O NEW COVENANT PEOPLE
man, basta tao na maliligtas. Sa Iglesia Ni Cristo ito dinadagdag ng Dios
"Na siyang nagligtas sa atin sa kapangyarihan ng kadiliman, at naglipat sa atin sa kaharian ng Anak ng kaniyang pagibig;" (Colossians
1:13)
"Nagpupuri sa Dios, At nangagtamo ng paglingap,at dinaragdag ng Dios sa IGLESIA araw araw ang mga dapat maligtas. “(Acts 2:47
KJV)
Ang kaharian ng Anak o ang Iglesia ay walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

Lahat nga ba ng Tao ay Natubos ng Dugo ni Cristo? 👇👇👇

IGLESIA NI CRISTO ANG GUMAWA NG KALOOBAN NG AMA
Ang mga taong nasa loob lang ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO ang makakapasok sa kaharian ng langit.

Malinaw na ipinahayag ng Panginoong Cristo Hesus na ang mga taong gumawa ng kalooban ng AMA ang mga makakapasok sa
kaharian ng langit.
"Hindi lahat ng tumatawag sa akin, ‘Panginoon, Panginoon,’ ay papasok sa kaharian ng langit, KUNDI ANG MGA TAO LAMANG NA
SUMUSUNOD SA KALOOBAN NG AKING AMA NA NASA LANGIT." (Mateo 7:21 MBB05)

Ang kaloobang ng AMA ay matipon o mapasailalim ang lahat ng tao kay Kristo.
"ipinaunawa sa atin ng Diyos ang hiwaga ng KANYANG KALOOBAN na isasakatuparan sa pamamagitan ni Cristo pagdating ng takdang
panahon. Layunin niyang tipunin ang lahat ng nilikha sa langit at sa lupa, at ipasailalim ang mga ito kay Cristo." (Mga Taga-Efeso 1:9-
10 MBB05)

Ayon sa pagtuturo ni Apostol Pablo, "At kung nakikipag-isa tayo sa Panginoong Jesu-Cristo kaisa niya tayo sa espiritu." (1 Corinto
6:17 ASND)
Ang mga taong kaisa ni Kristo ay nasa isang katawan, ang iglesia, IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
"Ang katawan ng tao ay binubuo ng maraming parte, ngunit iisa pa ring katawan. Ganoon din sa ating mga mananampalataya na
siyang katawan ni Cristo. Tayong lahat, Judio man o hindi, alipin o malaya ay NABAUTISMUHAN SA IISANG ESPIRITU UPANG MAGING
ISANG KATAWAN. At iisang Espiritu rin ang tinanggap nating lahat." (1 Corinto 12:12-13 ASND)
"At siya ang ulo ng katawan, sa makatuwid baga'y ng iglesia; ......" (Colossians 1:18)
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

BAKIT PATULOY NA NAGMIMISYON AT NAMAMAHAGI NG PANANAMPALATAYA ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO? 👇👇👇


https://iglesianicristolahingtapat.blogspot.com/2015/01/bakit-patuloy-na-nagmimisyon-at.html?m=1
IGLESIA NI CRISTO BAGO IGLESIA NG DIOS
Ang tao ay kailangan munang pumasok sa IGLESIA NI CRISTO para makarating sa iglesia ng Dios.

Ang tao ay kailangan munang dumaan kay Hesus bago makakarating sa AMA.
"Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Ako ang daan, at ang katotohanan, at ang buhay: sinoman ay di makaparoroon sa Ama, kundi sa
pamamagitan ko." (Juan 14:6)

Ano ang daan, katotohanan at buhay na itinuro ng Panginoong Hesus?


Juan 10:7 “Muli ngang sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, KATOTOHANAN, KATOTOHANANG SINASABI KO SA INYO, AKO ANG PINTUAN NG
MGA TUPA.”
Juan 10:9 “Ako ang pintuan; ang SINUMANG PUMASOK SA KAWAN SA PAMAMAGITAN KO AY MAGIGING LIGTAS.”
Ang daan, katotohanan at buhay na itinuro ng Panginoong Hesus ay pumasok ang tao sa loob ng kawan sa pamamagitan niya upang
maligtas.

Ang pangalan ng KAWAN na syang dapat pasukan ng tao para maligtas ay tinawag na IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
"Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28, GLT)

Na kung saan, dito inilipat ng Dios ang mga maliligtas.


"Na siyang nagligtas sa atin sa kapangyarihan ng kadiliman, at naglipat sa atin sa kaharian ng Anak ng kaniyang pagibig;" (Colosas
1:13)
"Nagpupuri sa Dios,At nangagtamo ng paglingap,at dinaragdag ng Dios sa IGLESIA araw araw ang mga dapat maligtas." (Gawa 2:47
KJV)

Wala pong shortcut papunta sa AMA. Ang tao ay kailangan munang dumaan kay Hesus sa pamamagitan ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO bago
makakarating sa AMA o mapabilang sa Iglesia ng Dios.

Magnanakaw at tulisan ang pagtuturing ng Panginoong Cristo Hesus sa mga hindi pumasok sa pintuan ng kulungan ng mga tupa o sa
IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
"Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ang pumapasok sa hindi pintuan ng kulungan ng mga tupa kundi umaakyat sa ibang
daan, ang gayon ay tulisan at magnanakaw." (Juan 10:1)

At ang babala ng biblia ay WAG NATING LAKARAN ANG DATING DAAN NA NILAKARAN NG MASASAMANG TAO.
"Iyo bang pagpapatuluyan ang dating daan, na nilakaran ng mga masamang tao?" (Job 22:15)

Dahil ang mga lumalakad sa masamang daan ay itatapon sa dagat-dagatang apoy


“Nguni't sa mga duwag, at sa mga hindi mananampalataya, at sa mga kasuklamsuklam, at sa mga mamamatay-tao, at sa mga
mapakiapid, at sa mga manggagaway, at sa mga mapagsamba sa diosdiosan, at sa lahat na mga sinungaling, ang kanilang bahagi ay
sa dagatdagatang nagniningas sa apoy at asupre; na siyang ikalawang kamatayan.” (Apocalipsis 21:8)
Ang Panginoong Hesus ay nagtayo ng kanyang IGLESIA.
"At sinasabi ko naman sa iyo, na ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay ITATAYO KO ANG AKING IGLESIA; at ang mga pintuan
ng Hades ay hindi magsisipanaig laban sa kaniya." (Matthew 16:18)
At ang pangalan ni Kristo ay ikinapit sa Iglesia.
"Ingatan ninyo ang inyong sarili, at ang buong kawan, na sa kanila'y ginawa kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga obispo, upang pakanin
ninyo ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO na binili niya ng kaniyang sariling dugo."(GAWA 20:28 GLT)
At dahil sa pangangaaral ng mga Apostol, ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO ay nagkaroon ng mga lokal sa dako ng mga Hudio at Hentil.
"Mangagbatian kayo ng banal na halik. Binabati kayo ng lahat ng mga iglesia ni Cristo." (Romans 16:16)
Ang mga lokal na ito ay bumubo ng isang katawan na si Kristo ang ulo. Ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO (Acts 20:28 LAMSA)
"Sapagka't kung paanong ang katawan ay iisa, at mayroong maraming mga sangkap, at ang lahat ng mga sangkap ng katawan,
bagama't marami, ay iisang katawan; gayon din naman si Cristo." (1 Corinthians 12:12)
"At siya ang ulo ng katawan, sa makatuwid baga'y ng iglesia; na siya ang pasimula, ang panganay sa mga patay; upang sa lahat ng
mga bagay, ay magkaroon siya ng kadakilaan." (Colossians 1:18)

Kung saan dito sa nagiisang katawan/iglesia ni Cristo idinadagdag ang lahat ng mga maliligtas.
"Nagpupuri sa Dios,At nangagtamo ng paglingap,at dinaragdag ng Dios sa IGLESIA araw araw ang mga dapat maligtas. " (Acts 2:47
kjv)

----
Ang Dios ang nagdaragdag sa IGLESIA NI CRISTO ng mga taong maliligtas.
"Na siyang nagligtas sa atin sa kapangyarihan ng kadiliman, at naglipat sa atin sa kaharian ng Anak ng kaniyang pagibig;" (Colossians
1:13)
"Nagpupuri sa Dios, At nangagtamo ng paglingap,at dinaragdag ng Dios sa IGLESIA araw araw ang mga dapat maligtas. “(Acts 2:47
KJV)
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

Kaya maliwanag na sinabi ni Hesus


"Walang taong makalalapit sa akin, maliban nang ang Amang nagsugo sa akin ang sa kaniya'y magdala sa akin; at siya'y aking
ibabangon sa huling araw." (John 6:44)

EPESO 2:20 – ANG MGA ITINAYO SA IBABAW NG BATO


*[[Eph 2:20]] TAB* Na mga itinatayo sa ibabaw ng kinasasaligan ng mga apostol at ng mga propeta, na si Cristo Jesus din ang
pangulong bato sa panulok;

Sino-sino ba ang mga itinayo sa ibabaw ng kinasasaligan ng mga apostol at ng mga propeta na si Cristo Jesus?

Ang itinayo sa batong si Hesus ay walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA, ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.

👇👇👇

"At sinasabi ko naman sa iyo, na ikaw ay Pedro, AT SA IBABAW NG BATONG ITO AY ITATAYO KO ANG AKING IGLESIA; at ang mga
pintuan ng Hades ay hindi magsisipanaig laban sa kaniya." (Mateo 16:18)

“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28, GLT)
INC: DALISAY NA RELIHIYON
Iglesia Ni Cristo, ang relihiyong dalisay at walang dungis sa harapan ng Dios.
"Ang dalisay na relihion at walang dungis sa harapan ng ating Dios at Ama ay ito, dalawin ang mga ulila at mga babaing bao sa
kanilang kapighatian, at pagingatang walang dungis ang kaniyang sarili sa sanglibutan." (James 1:27)

“Upang ang iglesia ay maiharap sa kaniyang sarili na maluwalhati, na walang dungis o kulubot o anomang gayong bagay; KUNDI
ITO'Y NARARAPAT MAGING BANAL AT WALANG KAPINTASAN.” (Ephesians 5:27)

"Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala,
upang pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

THE TERM RELIGION


"And now that you have found God (or I should say, now that God has found you), how can it be that you want to go back again and
become slaves once more to another poor, weak, useless religion. "(Galatians 4:9 The Living Bible)

"The religion of these people is worthless ..." (Jeremiah 10:3 Today's English Version)
ANG NAGIISANG KATAWAN/IGLESIA NI CRISTO LAMANG ANG NAPATAWAD ANG KASALANAN
Ang nagiisang katawan/IGLESIA NI CRISTO lamang ang napatawad ang kasalanan.
Ayon sa pagtuturo ni Apostle Pablo, ang mga nakay Cristo ay wala nang anumang hatol pa.
"Ngayon nga'y wala nang anomang hatol sa mga na kay Cristo Jesus." (Romans 8:1)

Bakit wala nang hatol ang mga nakay Cristo Hesus? Sapagkat silay ay pinalaya sa kautusan ng kasalanan at kamatayan.
"Sapagka't ang kautusan ng Espiritu ng buhay na kay Cristo Jesus ay pinalaya ako sa kautusan ng kasalanan at ng kamatayan.
(Romans 8:2)

Sino ang mga pinalaya sa kautusan ng kasalanan at kamatayan? Ang katawan o IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
"At ngayon sinasabi ko sa iyo na ikaw si Pedro, at sa batong ito, itatayo ko ang aking iglesya, at hindi ito malulupig kahit ng
kapangyarihan ng KAMATAYAN." (Matthew 16:18, ASND)
"At sinasabi ko naman sa iyo, na ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesia; at ang mga pintuan ng
Hades ay hindi magsisipanaig laban sa kaniya." (Matthew 16:18, TAB)
Sapagkat ang KAMATAYAN o HADES ay itatapon sa dagat dagatang apoy.
"At ang kamatayan at ang Hades ay ibinulid sa dagatdagatang apoy. Ito ang ikalawang kamatayan, sa makatuwid ay ang
dagatdagatang apoy." (Revelation 20:14)

Ang nagiisang IGLESIA na itinayo ni Hesus na hindi mapapanaigan ng kamatayan at Hades ay walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

HINDI PANANAIGAN NG HADES


Itinuturo ng Banal na Kasulatan na ang Iglesia ni Cristo lamang ang hindi pananaigan ng Hades o kamatayan sa dagatdagatang apoy.
"Sapagka't ang lahat ay nangagkasala nga, at hindi nangakaabot sa kaluwalhatian ng Dios;" (Roma 3:23)

At ang kabayaran ng kasalanan ay kamatayan.


"Sapagka't ang kabayaran ng kasalanan ay kamatayan; ...." (Roma 6:23)

At ang kamatayan ay itatapon sa dagatdagatang apoy.


"At ang kamatayan at ang Hades ay ibinulid sa dagatdagatang apoy. Ito ang ikalawang kamatayan, sa makatuwid ay ang
dagatdagatang apoy." (Apocalipsis 20:14)

Dahil dito, Ang Panginoong Hesus ay nagtayo ng iglesia na hindi pananaigan ng kamatayan o impyerno.
"At sinasabi ko naman sa iyo, na ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesia; at ang mga pintuan ng
Hades ay hindi magsisipanaig laban sa kaniya." (Mateo 16:18)

At ang iglesia na hindi pananaigan ng kamatayan o impyerno ay walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala,
upang pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
ANG HINDI PUMASOK SA LOOB NG KAWAN O IGLESIA NI CRISTO AY MAMATAY DAHIL SA KANYANG
KASALANAN
Ayon sa pagtuturo ng Panginoong Hesus, ang hindi pumasok sa loob ng kawan o IGLESIA NI CRISTO ay mamatay dahil sa kanyang
kasalanan.
"Sinabi ko nga sa inyo, na kayo'y mangamamatay sa inyong mga kasalanan: sapagka't malibang kayo'y magsisampalataya na ako nga
ang Cristo, ay mangamamatay kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan." (Juan 8:24)

Ang pagsampalataya kay Hesus ay pagtupad ng kanyang utos.


(Sinabi naman ni Jesus sa mga Judiong naniniwala sa kanya, “Kung tinutupad ninyo ang aking aral, kayo nga'y tunay na mga alagad
ko;" (Juan 8:31)

Ano ba ang utos ni Cristo na dapat gawin?


Juan 10:7 “Muli ngang sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, KATOTOHANAN, KATOTOHANANG SINASABI KO SA INYO, AKO ANG PINTUAN NG
MGA TUPA.”
Juan 10:9 “Ako ang pintuan; ang SINUMANG PUMASOK SA KAWAN SA PAMAMAGITAN KO AY MAGIGING LIGTAS.”
Ang pangalan ng KAWAN na syang dapat pasukan ng tao para maligtas ay tinawag na IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
WALANG KALIGTASAB SA LABAS NG IGLESIA NI CRISTO
Walang kaligtasan sa labas ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
Ayon sa pagtuturo ng Banal na Kasulatan:
"Sapagkat wala akong pananagutang hatulan ang mga nasa labas ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO....
Ang Diyos ang Siyang hahatol sa mga nasa labas ng Iglesia. Iniuutos sa atin ng mga kasulatan na, "Dapat ninyong alisin ang
masamang tao sa gitna ninyo!"" (1 Corinto 5:12-13 Unlocked Dynamic Bible, isinalin mula sa Ingles)

Ang Dios ang hahatol sa mga nasa labas at ang hatol ng Dios ay matagal ng tapos.
"Nguni't sa mga duwag, at SA MGA HINDI MANANAMPALATAYA, at sa mga kasuklamsuklam, at sa mga mamamatay-tao, at sa mga
mapakiapid, at sa mga manggagaway, at sa mga mapagsamba sa diosdiosan, at sa lahat na mga sinungaling, ang kanilang bahagi ay
sa dagatdagatang nagniningas sa apoy at asupre; na siyang ikalawang kamatayan." (Apocalipsis 21:8)
"NANGASA LABAS ang mga aso, at ang mga manggagaway, at ang mga mapakiapid, at ang mga mamamatay-tao, at ang mga
mapagsamba sa diosdiosan, at ang bawa't nagiibig at gumagawa ng kasinungalingan." (Apocalipsis 22:15)

Ano ba ang dapat gawin ng tao upang makaligtas sa hatol o parusa ng Dios?
Itinuro ng Panginoong HesuCristo na upang ang tao ay maligtas ay dapat pumasok sa loob ng kawan.
Juan 10:7 “Muli ngang sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, KATOTOHANAN, KATOTOHANANG SINASABI KO SA INYO, AKO ANG PINTUAN NG
MGA TUPA.”
Juan 10:9 “Ako ang pintuan; ang SINUMANG PUMASOK SA KAWAN SA PAMAMAGITAN KO AY MAGIGING LIGTAS.”

Ang KAWAN na siyang dapat pasukan ng tao para maligtas ay tinawag na IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
"Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

Kaya malinaw mula sa Banal na Kasulatan na dapat pumasok ang tao sa loob ng kawan, ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO upang makaligtas sa
hatol o parusa ng Dios sa araw ng paghuhukom.

NOTE: Ang Iglesia Ni Cristo ay kailanman hindi humahatol sa mga nasa labas ng iglesia tulad ng pagtuturo ng Banal Na Kasulatan.
Ipinapaalam lang ng bawat kaanib sa Iglesia Ni Cristo sa mga tao ang hatol o parusa ng Dios sa mga nasa labas ng iglesia. Kaya
habang may pagkakataon pa, ay dapat pagsikapan ng bawat tao na mapaanib sa Iglesia Ni Cristo upang makaligtas sa hatol o parusa
ng Dios.

------------
Ang katumbas po ng hatol ay parusa. Tandaan po natin na mababasa sa biblia na ang mga nakay Cristo Hesus ay wala nang hatol o
parusa. At nilinaw ng biblia na ang kay Cristo ay ang Iglesia, na walang iba kundi ang Iglesia Ni Cristo (Rom. 8:1, Matt. 16:18, Acts
20:28 GLT)
“I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and
trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [DOES
NOT INCUR SENTENCE OF JUDGMENT, WILL NOT COME UNDER CONDEMNATION], but he has already passed over out of death into
life.” (John 5:24 AMPC)

“Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ang dumirinig ng aking salita, at sumasampalataya sa kaniya na nagsugo sa akin, ay
may buhay na walang hanggan, AT HINDI MAPAPASOK SA PAGHATOL, kundi lumipat na sa kabuhayan mula sa kamatayan.” (Juan
5:24 TLAB)
------------
"For I have no obligation to judge those who are outside the CHURCH OF CHRIST. Your duty is to judge those who are in it. God is the
one who will judge those who are outside the church. The scriptures command us, "You must take away the evil person who is
among you!"" (1 Corinthians 5:12-13 Unlocked Dynamic Bible)

"Sapagkat wala akong pananagutang hatulan ang mga nasa labas ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO....
Ang Diyos ang Siyang hahatol sa mga nasa labas ng Iglesia. Iniuutos sa atin ng mga kasulatan na, "Dapat ninyong alisin ang
masamang tao sa gitna ninyo!"" (1 Corinto 5:12-13 Unlocked Dynamic Bible, isinalin mula sa Ingles)

------------
"At sinabi niya sa kanila, Sa inyo ay ipinagkaloob ang makaalam ng hiwaga ng kaharian ng Dios: datapuwa't sa kanilang nangasa
LABAS, ang lahat ng mga bagay ay ginagawa sa pamamagitan ng mga talinghaga: Upang kung magsitingin sila'y mangakakita, at
huwag mamalas; at kung mangakinig sila'y mangakarinig, at huwag mangakaunawa; baka sakaling sila'y mangagbalikloob, at
patawarin sila." (Marcos 4:11-12 TLAB)

Napakalinaw na sinabi ng Panginoong Cristo Hesus na ang mga nasa labas ay nangangailangan ng kapatawaran para maligtas dahil
malinaw na sinasabi ng kasulatan na walang kaligtasan sa labas ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
Kaya upang ang tao ay mapatawad sa kaniyang kasalanan at magtamo ng kaligtasan ay dapat siyang umanib o pumasok sa loob ng
kawan na walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO (Juan 10:7-9, Gawa 20:28, GLT)

------------
Ano ang kalagayan ng mga hiwalay kay Cristo o hindi kaanib sa Iglesia Ni Cristo?
Ayon sa pagtuturo ng Banal na Kasulatan:
"Kaya nga alalahanin ninyo, na kayo noong una, mga Gentil sa laman, tinatawag na Di-pagtutuli niyaong tinatawag na Pagtutuli sa
laman, na ginawa ng mga kamay: Na kayo nang panahong yaon ay MGA HIWALAY KAY CRISTO, na mga di kabilang sa bansa ng Israel,
at mga taga ibang lupa tungkol sa mga tipan ng pangako, NA WALANG PAGASA AT WALANG DIOS SA SANGLIBUTAN." (Mga Taga-
Efeso 2:11-12 TLAB)

Malinaw na itinuturo ng Banal na Kasulatan na ang mga hiwalay kay Cristo o hindi kaanib sa Iglesia Ni Cristo ay walang pagasa at
walang Dios sa mundong ito. Dagdag pa ng Panginoong HesuCristo, ang mga hiwalay sa kaniya ay “walang magagawa” o hindi nila
maliligtas ang kanilang sarili sapagkat ang mga hiwalay kay Cristo pagsapit ng araw ng paghuhukom ay susunugin sa impyerno (Juan
15:5-6).

Ang tao ay makakaisa lamang ang Panginoong HeuCristo sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang katawan o iglesia (1 Cor. 6:17, 1 Cor. 12:12-
14), kaya inuutos ng Panginoong HesuCristo sa bawat tao na sila ay dapat pumasok sa loob ng kawan, ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO para
maligtas (John 10:9 REB, Acts 20:28 GLT)

IGLESIA NI CRISTO: LIGTAS SA GALIT NG DIOS


Ayon sa pagtuturo ng Banal na Kasulatan, ang mga inaaring ganap sa pamamagitan ng dugo ni Kristo ay ligtas sa galit ng Dios.
"Lubha pa nga ngayong inaaring-ganap sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang dugo, ay mangaliligtas tayo sa galit ng Dios sa pamamagitan
niya." (Roma 5:9)
Ang inaring ganap sa pamamagitan ng dugo ni Kristo Hesus at ligtas sa galit ng Dios ay walang iba kundi ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
WALANG NANG HATOL SA IGLESIA NI CRISTO
Ayon sa pagtuturo ng Banal Na Kasulatan, wala nang hatol na tatamuhin ang mga nakay Cristo.
"Ngayon nga'y wala nang anomang hatol sa mga na kay Cristo Jesus." (Rom 8:1)

Alin ba ang na kay Cristo Hesus?


"At sinasabi ko naman sa iyo, na ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang AKING IGLESIA; at ang mga pintuan ng
Hades ay hindi magsisipanaig laban sa kaniya." (Mat. 16:18)

Ang nakay Cristo Hesus ay ang Iglesia, na walang iba kundi ang Iglesia Ni Cristo (Gawa 20:28, GLT, Roma 16:16). Sila ay ligtas na o
hindi na hahatulan ng Dios sa araw ng paghuhukom. Na ang hatol ng Dios sa mga hindi kaanib sa Iglesia Ni Cristo ay ay ibubulid sila
sa impierno (Apoc. 21:8)

Ang hindi hahatulan ng kaparusahan sa Araw ng Paghuhukom.
Roma 8:1 - "Kaya ngayon, hindi na hahatulan ng kaparusahan ang mga NAKAY CRISTO HESUS."
Ngunit, alin ba ang NAKAY CRISTO HESUS na hindi na hahatulan ng kaparusahan?
Mateo 16:18 - "At sinasabi ko naman sa iyo, na ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang AKING IGLESIA; at ang
mga pintuan ng Hades ay hindi magsisipanaig laban sa kaniya."

Ang NAKAY CRISTO HESUS na hindi na hahatulan ng kaparusahan sa araw ng paghuhukom ay ang KANIYANG IGLESIA. Ngunit
napakaramking Iglesia, aling Iglesia kaya ito?
Roma 16:16 - Mangagbatian kayo ng banal na halik. Binabati kayo ng lahat ng mga IGLESIA NI CRISTO."

Malinaw po sa Banal na Kasulatan, na ang mga kaanib o nakay CristoHesus na walang iba kundi ang Iglesia Ni Cristo ay hindi na
hahatulan ng kaparusahan sa araw ng paghuhukom.

HINDI LAHAT NG NAGSASABING SILA'Y CRISTIANO AY MGA TUNAY NA KRISTIANO


Hindi lahat ng nagsasabing sila'y Cristiano ay mga tunay na Kristiano.
"Maaaring sabihin ng isang tao,'ako ay isang Cristiano, ako ay nasa daan patungo sa langit, ako ay na kay Cristo. 'Ngunit kung hindi
naman niya ginagawa ang iniuutos sa Kaniya ni Cristo na gawin niya, siya'y isang SINUNGALING " (1 Juan 2:4)

Ano ba ang utos ni Cristo na dapat gawin?


Juan 10:7 “Muli ngang sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, KATOTOHANAN, KATOTOHANANG SINASABI KO SA INYO, AKO ANG
PINTUAN NG MGA TUPA.”
Juan 10:9 “Ako ang pintuan; ang SINUMANG PUMASOK SA KAWAN SA PAMAMAGITAN KO AY MAGIGING LIGTAS.”
Ang pangalan ng KAWAN na syang dapat pasukan ng tao para maligtas ay tinawag na IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala,
upang pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
Ang tunay na Kristiano ay sumunod sa utos ni Hesus, ito ay ang pumasok sa loob ng kawan, ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
INC’S NAME ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN
Ang sinumang mapabilang na kaanib sa IGLESIA NI CRISTO ay matatala ang pangalan sa langit.
“But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon
thousands of angels in joyful assembly, TO THE CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, WHOSE NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN. You have
come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the
sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.”(Hebrew 12:22-24, NIV)
"Siya ang ulo ng iglesya na kanyang katawan. Siya ang pasimula, siya ang panganay na anak, ang unang binuhay mula sa mga patay,
upang siya'y maging pangunahin sa lahat." (Mga Taga-Colosas 1:18 RTPV05)
"Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

JOHN 3:16: THE LOVE OF GOD


----------
CHURCH OF CHRIST, the love of God for us.
The Holy Scriptures proclaims:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
(John 3:16)

Believing on the Lord Jesus, the Son of God is obeying his commands.
"So Jesus said to those who BELIEVED IN HIM, ‘If you OBEY MY TEACHING, you are really my disciples’.” (John 8:31)
What is the teaching of the Lord Jesus, the Son of God, that those who believe in him must do?
"So Jesus went over it again, “I speak to you eternal truth: I am the Gate for the flock."
“I am the Gate; ANYONE WHO COMES INTO THE ‘FOLD’ THROUGH ME SHALL BE SAFE.” (John 10:7&9)

The fold or flock that the Lord Jesus was referring to, is the church of Christ.
"Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Spirit of Holiness hath constituted you the bishops; to
pasture the church of Christ which he hath purchased with his blood." (Acts 20:28)

If one wants to have eternal life, he must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, by obeying his commands, that is to enter
in to the fold or flock which is the Church of Christ, for the Church is God's master plan of salvation for mankind.
"20 Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even
dream of—infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. 21 May he be given glory forever and ever through
endless ages because of his master plan of salvation for the Church through Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 3:20-21, TLV)

----------
"Sapagka't gayon na lamang ang pagsinta ng Dios sa sanglibutan, na ibinigay niya ang kaniyang bugtong na Anak, upang ang
sinomang sa kaniya'y sumampalataya ay huwag mapahamak, kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan." (John 3:16)

Ang pagsampalataya sa Anak ng Dios ay pagsunod sa kaniyang aral.


"Sinabi naman ni Jesus sa mga Judiong naniniwala sa kanya, “Kung tinutupad ninyo ang aking aral, kayo nga'y tunay na mga alagad
ko;" (Juan 8:31)
Ano ba ang aral ni Cristo na dapat ganapin?
Juan 10:7 “Muli ngang sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, KATOTOHANAN, KATOTOHANANG SINASABI KO SA INYO, AKO ANG PINTUAN NG
MGA TUPA.”
Juan 10:9 “Ako ang pintuan; ang SINUMANG PUMASOK SA KAWAN SA PAMAMAGITAN KO AY MAGIGING LIGTAS.”

Ang pangalan ng KAWAN na syang dapat pasukan ng tao para maligtas ay tinawag na IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
Ang tunay na Kristiano ay sumunod sa utos ni Hesus, ito ay ang pumasok sa loob ng kawan, ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO.
JOHN 3:16 BELIEVING IN THE SON IS OBEYING HIS TEACHINGS

John 3:16 states "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but
have eternal life."

Believing in the Son is obeying his teachings.


"So Jesus said to those who BELIEVED IN HIM, ‘If you OBEY MY TEACHING, you are really my disciples’.” (John 8:31, Today’s English
Version)

What is the commandment of Christ that one must do??


“so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.”
“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved...” (John 10:7&9 NKJV)

Christ said, “If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved.” Christ is not referring to His physical body, but to the Church (Col. 1:18),
which is called Church Of Christ (Romans 16:16, ACTS 20:28, LAMSA).
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the church of
Christ which he has purchased with His blood (Acts 20:28, Lamsa).”
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP = SALVATION. OUTSIDE = HELL
Church membership is equal to salvation is a Biblical teaching.

Romans 12:4-5 - For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though
many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

1 Corinthians 12:12-27 - For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one
body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to
drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do
not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do
not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. ...

Even the Lord Jesus Christ attested to this: “5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear
much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”(John 15:5)

For we are all baptized in one Spirit as to form one body.


“12Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13FOR WE WERE ALL
BAPTIZED BY[36] ONE SPIRIT SO AS TO FORM ONE BODY—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one
Spirit to drink.” (1 Cor. 12:12-13)
That’s why Apostle Paul stated “4 There is ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one
Lord, one faith, ONE BAPTISM, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.” (Eph. 4:4-6)
And that body is the church which is headed by the Lord Jesus Christ, the church of Christ.
“And he is the head of the body, the church...” (Colossians 1:18 NIV)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed THE CHURCH
OF CHRIST WHICH HE HAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).”

And those who are outside of the body/church of Christ are judge by God, as Apostle Paul stated “12 WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF
MINE TO JUDGE THOSE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the
wicked person from among you.”(1 Cor. 5:12-13)

And the judgement of God is finished a long time ago, that is “8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers
and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the
second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

As Apostle Paul even stresses “26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice
for sins is left, 27 BUT ONLY A FEARFUL EXPECTATION OF JUDGMENT AND OF RAGING FIRE THAT WILL CONSUME THE
ENEMIES OF GOD. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How
much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as
an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who
said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d] and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[e] 31 IT IS A DREADFUL THING TO FALL
INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD. (Heb. 10:26-31)

”That’s why the Lord Jesus Christ stated “If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such
branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.”(John 15:6)

KAYO ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO


Ayon sa pagtuturo ni Apostol Pablo, ang mga taong kaanib o miyembro sa katawan ni Cristo Hesus ay ang katawan o iglesia ni Cristo.
"Kayo nga ang katawan ni Cristo, at bawa't isa'y samasamang mga sangkap niya." (1 Corinto 12:27)
"At siya ang ulo ng katawan, sa makatuwid baga'y ng iglesia; ....." (Colossians 1:18)
"Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)
ANG PANGINOONG DIOS AY HINDI NAKIKINIG SA MGA MAKASALANAN
Ang Panginoong Dios ay hindi nakikinig sa mga makasalanan.
"Nalalaman naming hindi pinakikinggan ng Dios ang mga makasalanan: datapuwa't kung ang sinomang tao'y maging mananamba sa
Dios, at ginagawa ang kaniyang kalooban, siya'y pinakikinggan niya." (John 9:31)
Ang sinomang gumagawa ng kalooban ng Dios ay ang tanging pinakikinggang ng Dios.

Ano ba ang kalooban ng Dios?


Efeso 1:9-10 “NA IPINAKIKILALA NIYA SA ATIN ANG HIWAGA NG KANIYANG KALOOBAN, ayon sa kaniyang minagaling na ipinasiya
niya sa kaniya rin. Sa pagiging katiwala sa kaganapan ng mga panahon, UPANG TIPUNIN ANG LAHAT NG MGA BAGAY KAY CRISTO,
ang mga bagay na nangasa sangkalangitan, at ang mga bagay na nangasa ibabaw ng lupa; sa kaniya, sinasabi ko,”

Ang kalooban ng Ama, ang MAKILALA O MALAMAN NATIN na ang LAHAT NG BAGAY AY MATIPON KAY CRISTO. Kaya, tayo ay
kailangan na sumunod sa kaloobang ito ng Dios at matipon din naman kay Cristo. PAANO TAYO MATIPON KAY CRISTO? Ganito ang
sabi ni Cristo:

Juan 10:7 “Muli ngang sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, KATOTOHANAN, KATOTOHANANG SINASABI KO SA INYO, AKO ANG PINTUAN NG
MGA TUPA.”
Juan 10:9 “Ako ang pintuan; ang SINUMANG PUMASOK SA KAWAN SA PAMAMAGITAN KO AY MAGIGING LIGTAS.”

Ang pangalan ng KAWAN na syang dapat pasukan ng tao para maligtas at ang katuparan ng kalooban ng Dios ay tinawag na IGLESIA
NI CRISTO.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

Na kung saan, dito inilipat ng Dios ang mga maliligtas.


"Na siyang nagligtas sa atin sa kapangyarihan ng kadiliman, at naglipat sa atin sa kaharian ng Anak ng kaniyang pagibig;" (Colossians
1:13)
"Nagpupuri sa Dios,At nangagtamo ng paglingap,at dinaragdag ng Dios sa IGLESIA araw araw ang mga dapat maligtas. “(Acts 2:47
KJV)
Tanging ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO lamang ang pinakikinggan ng Dios dahil ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO lamang ang tumutupad ng kalooban
ng Dios.
Roma 5:2 Sa pamamagitan din naman niya'y nangagkaroon tayo ng ating PAGPASOK SA PAMAMAGITAN NG PANANAMPALATAYA sa
biyayang ito na diyan ay nagsisilagi tayo; at nangagagalak tayo sa pagasa ng kaluwalhatian ng Dios.
IGLESIA NI CRISTO LANG ANG PINAKIKINGGAN NG PANGINOONG DIOS

TANGING ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO LANG ANG PINAKIKINGGAN NG PANGINOONG DIOS.

Dahil, ang Panginoong Dios ay hindi nakikinig sa mga makasalanan.

"Nalalaman naming hindi pinakikinggan ng Dios ang mga makasalanan: datapuwa't kung ang sinomang tao'y maging mananamba sa
Dios, at ginagawa ang kaniyang kalooban, siya'y pinakikinggan niya." (Juan 9:31)
"Ang inyong mga kasalanan ang siyang naglayo sa inyo sa Dios at iyon ang dahilan kung bakit niya kayo tinalikuran at ayaw nang
makinig sa inyong mga dalangin." (Isaias 59:2 ASND)

At nasusulat "Sapagka't ang lahat ay nangagkasala nga, at hindi nangakaabot sa kaluwalhatian ng Dios;" (Roma 3:23)
"At ayon sa kautusan, ay halos masasabi kong lahat ng mga bagay ay nililinis ng dugo, at maliban na sa pagkabuhos ng dugo ay
walang kapatawaran." (Hebreo 9:22)

At tanging ang nagiisang katawan/IGLESIA NI CRISTO lamang ang binili o tinubos ng Panginoong Hesus ng kaniyang dugo para sa
ikapagpapatawad ng kasalanan.
“Ingatan ninyo kung gayon ang inyong sarili at ang BUONG KAWAN na rito’y hinirang kayo ng Espiritu Santo na mga katiwala, upang
pakanin ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO NA BINILI NIYA NG KANIYANG DUGO.” (Gawa 20:28 GLT)

At "Ayon sa Kautusan, kung itinuturing na marumi ang isang tao, kailangan siyang wisikan ng dugo ng kambing at toro, at ng abo ng
guya para maging malinis. Kung nakakalinis ang mga ito, di lalo na ang dugo ni Cristo. Sa pamamagitan ng walang hanggang Banal na
Espiritu, inialay ni Cristo ang sarili niya bilang handog na walang kapintasan sa Dios. Ang dugo niya ang lilinis sa ating pusoʼt isipan
para matalikuran natin ang mga gawaing walang kabuluhan at paglingkuran ang Dios na buhay." (Hebreo 9:13-14 ASND)

Ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO lamang ang pinakikinggan ng Dios dahil napatawad ang kanilang mga kasalanan.
"Nguni't kung tayo'y nagsisilakad sa liwanag, na gaya niyang nasa liwanag, ay may pakikisama tayo sa isa't isa, at nililinis tayo ng
dugo ni Jesus na kaniyang Anak sa lahat ng kasalanan." (1 Juan 5:7)
EATING BLOOD = EWE!
God forbid his people to eat/drink blood or food mixed with blood. It is the 1st COMMANDMENT of God about eating. In
the times of Noah/Abraham, God give this COMMANDMENT to him.

“EVERY MOVING THING THAT LIVETH SHALL BE MEAT FOR YOU; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But
flesh with the life thereof, WHICH IS THE BLOOD THEREOF, SHALL YE NOT EAT.”(Gen. 9:3-4)

--Even in the time of Moses. This COMMANDMENT was NOT CHANGED and being followed by Israelites and even
foreigners.

“‘I will set my face against any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them WHO EATS BLOOD, and I WILL CUT THEM
OFF FROM THE PEOPLE. For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for
yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life. Therefore I say to the Israelites, “NONE OF
YOU MAY EAT BLOOD, NOR MAY ANY FOREIGNER RESIDING AMONG YOU EAT BLOOD.”(Lev. 17:10-12)

“ ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten MUST DRAIN OUT
THE BLOOD AND COVER IT WITH EARTH, because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the
Israelites, “YOU MUST NOT EAT THE BLOOD OF ANY CREATURE, BECAUSE THE LIFE OF EVERY CREATURE IS ITS BLOOD;
ANYONE WHO EATS IT MUST BE CUT OFF.”(Lev. 17:13-14)

“But be sure you DO NOT EAT THE BLOOD, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat. YOU
MUST NOT EAT THE BLOOD; POUR IT OUT ON THE GROUND LIKE WATER.”(Deut. 12:23-24)

---It is UNDERSTOOD that those who DISOBEY this COMMANDMENT are cut off from God’s nation. The blood of any
animal that may be eaten MUST be DRAINED and the meat must be free from blood.

---God also EXPLAINED to us in the above verses WHY we are NOT ALLOWED to eat/drink BLOOD. “The BLOOD of a
creature is given to us(Old Testament People) for the ATONEMENT of our sins.” And on the New Testament up to the
present time, Christ’s BLOOD was shed for mankind for the forgiveness of SINS. In short, the BLOOD is the KEY for the
forgiveness of human sins.

---Even in the times of Lord Jesus and the Apostles. This COMMANDNMENT of God is being FOLLOWED.

“But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled,
AND FROM BLOOD(ACTS 15:20)

“But as for the Gentiles who have become believers, we have sent them a letter telling them we decided that they must
not eat any food that has been offered to idols, OR ANY BLOOD, or any animal that has been strangled, and that they
must keep themselves from sexual immorality.”(Acts 21:25 TEV)

---It is CLEAR that eating/drinking BLOOD/meats with blood is FORBIDDEN. It is declared since the ANCIENT times, Moses
times even to the time of Jesus and the Apostles. “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, DO IT ALL FOR THE
GLORY OF GOD(1 COR. 10:31)” by OBEYING this SIMPLE COMMANDMENT. “DO NOT EAT BLOOD”
Y NOT BE BAPTIZE RIGHT AWAY?
Why not be baptize right away?

The Lord Jesus Christ laid down the prerequisites for baptism, that is, who should be baptized as recorded in Mark 16:15-16: “And
He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. He who BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED will be
saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned’”.

Before a person can receive the holy baptism, he or she should 1) listen to the gospel and 2) believe. The gospel refers to the
teachings of God written in the Bible. Listening to them is necessary before one can believe or have faith (Roman 10:14-15)-
something that is proven not by mere lip service but means of works (James 2:14, 22). Thus, Christ also instructed His disciples to
“teach them and obey everything I have commanded you…” (Matthew 28:20, Good News Bible).

Hence, in the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ), would-be members-no matter how eager and determined they may be to join-must
first undergo biblical studies on doctrines, which take weeks to complete. Afterwards, they are placed on a period of probation to
make sure that they understood, believe, and are obeying the teachings of God that they heard. Only after those conditions are met
will they be baptized.

Now, who decides in the Church pertaining the length of probation that a candidate for membership should undergo, which
currently is not less than six months? The Church Administration who has been given the authority to make decisions and rules (Acts
16:4) in the Church. Our Lord Jesus Christ testifies that everything the Administration decides on earth is being sanctioned or
approved by God in heaven (Matthew 18:18-19)

JOINING THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS NOT ENOUGH

It is not enough to join the church of Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ clearly stated that those who will stay with him til the end are
saved: “but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Mark 13:13, Matt.24:13)
Bcoz if one is separated of Christ, He can do nothing, In short, they are not saved: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain
in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING” (John 15:5)
That’s why the Lord Jesus Christ is appealing “REMAIN IN ME, AS I ALSO REMAIN IN YOU. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must
remain in the vine. NEITHER CAN YOU BEAR FRUIT UNLESS YOU REMAIN IN ME” (John 15:4)
Also, Apostle Peter stated the member of the church of Christ must ALWAYS maintain peace with God: “14So then, dear friends,
since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found SPOTLESS, BLAMELESS AND AT PEACE WITH HIM.” (2 Peter
3:14).
Those who have peace with God are called in ONE BODY: “15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one
body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” (Col. 3:15)
And that ONE BODY is the church, headed by the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the church of Christ
“And he is the head of the body, the church...” (Colossians 1:18 NIV)
“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed THE CHURCH
OF CHRIST WHICH HE HAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD (Acts 20:28 Lamsa).”
For the purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ is to create in himself a one new man out of the two, MAKING PEACE to GOD
“By abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. HIS PURPOSE WAS TO CREATE IN HIMSELF ONE NEW
MAN OUT OF THE TWO, thus making peace.” (Ephesians 2:15 NIV)
--Those who did not remain faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ are found outside the body/church of Christ. And as our Lord Jesus Christ
stated “APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING”, rather they are thrown in fire and burned (John 15:6) and that is the second
death, the eternal hell Rev. 20:14).

---In short, If one wants to be saved, he/she must always maintain PEACE with God. How?? by staying at the body/church of Christ til
the end.
EXPELLING MEMBERS FROM THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS
BIBLICAL
Why Iglesia Ni Cristo expel members from the church?

Expelling members of the Church has a biblical basis. Apostle Paul wrote the Christians, thus: “God alone sits in
judgement on those who are outside. DRIVE OUT THE WICKED ONE FROM AMONG YOU [EXPEL HIM FROM YOUR
CHURCH]“(1 Cor. 5:13, Amplified Bible). The Bible speaks of only one true Church Of Christ (Col. 1:18; Rom. 12:4-5; Acts
20:28, Lamsa Translation). God wants the true Church to reach perfection (Eph. 5:27) which cannot be achieved if there is
someone among the members who has a wicked or perverse heart, such as one who “stirs up dissension”(Prov. 16:28,
New International Version)-a desire that is “earthly, unspiritual(animal), even devilish(demonical)”(James 3:15, AMP).
Moreover, Apostle Paul admonished the early Christians to “watch out for those who cause divisions” and to “keep away
from them”(Rom. 16:17, NIV). And even from of old, God commanded: “You must distinguish between the holy and the
common, between the unclean and the clean…”(Lev. 10:10, ibid.).

Hence, expulsion of such members from the true Church Of Christ is not only allowed, but even mandated by God.

STEPS BEFORE EXECUTING EXPULSION


--Even in the times of Jesus.
Jesus had this to say about church discipline: “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of
you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along so that ‘every matter
may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses
even to listen to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector” (Matthew 18:15-17). Again, we see that
excommunication is a last resort, after repeated warnings (cf. Titus 3:10). Jesus’ command to treat an intractable offender as a
“pagan” or a “tax collector” means simply to consider such a one as unsaved. How are we to treat the unsaved? With love and grace.
They need to be evangelized. We are to love even our enemies (Matthew 5:44)

REASONS WHY ONE IS EXPELLED FROM THE CHURCH


What are the reasons why one is expelled from the church?

--They neglect church meetings


“LET US NOT NEGLECT OUR CHURCH MEETINGS, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the
day of his coming back again is drawing near. 26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the
truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of
God.” (Heb. 10:25-26, TLB)

--They practiced the works of the flesh


“19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord,
jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did
before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Acts 5:19-21)

--They reject and abandoned the truth


“19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. 20
Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme” (1Tim. 1:19-20)

Those who disobey the commandments of God are expelled from the church for sin is the transgression of the law(1 John 3:4). As
Apostle Paul said “12 WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF MINE TO JUDGE THOSE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH? Are you not to judge those inside? 13
God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[d]”(1 Cor. 5:12-13)
And the judgement of God is finished a long time ago, that is “8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers
and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the
second death.” (Rev. 21:8)
PAGBABALIK LOOB
May PAGKAKATAON pa ba o may TSANSA pa ba sa kaligtasan ang mga "NATIWALAG" sa Iglesia?

Sagot: MERON PO! Kaya nga meron tayong kasabihang, "Habang may buhay, may pag asa" ibig sabihin habang meron kapang
pagkakataon magbago, GAWIN MO. ITAMA MO ang buhay mo at MAGBALIK LOOB ka sa Diyos.

"Magsisi nga kayo at magbalik-loobpara sa pagpawi ng inyong mga kasalanan..." Gawa 3:19

Kaya meron pong proseso sa Iglesia na kung tawagin ay "PAGBABALIK LOOB" kung saan ang mga natiwalag sa Iglesia ay maaari pa
ring makabalik. Tao tayo, nakakagawa ng mga kasalanan at paglabag, ngunit ang Diyos ay marunong din naman magpatawad,
hanggat tayoy nabubuhay meron tayong pagkakataon upang pagsisihan ang ating mga nagawang kasalanan at MAG BALIK LOOB SA
DIYOS.

Gawin natin ang lahat upang makabalik dahil iisa lang naman ang tangi nating dahilan sa pagpasok sa Iglesiang kay Kristo --> UPANG
MALIGTAS.

Ngunit ang tanong, dapat ba na PATAGALIN ang pagbabalik loob? Yun bang magpapalipas pa ng ilang taon saka lang ikokonsidera na
magbalik loob?

Ano po ba ang sinasabi sa bibliya?

"Magbalik-loob ka na agad sa Panginoon; huwag mong ipagpabukas ang pakikipagkasundo sa kanya, sapagkat biglang darating ang
araw ng paghihiganti, at mamamatay ka sa kanyang pagpaparusa." Ecc. 5:7

Sabi, magbalik loob KA NA AGAD. Sabi AGAD.

Hindi po ibig sabihin nito na makakabalik na agad siya sa Iglesia sapagkat mahaba po itong proseso na ito, sinisigurado na ang mga
nagbabalik loob ay talaga naman nagsisi na at hindi na uulit sa mga paglabag.

Ang ibig sabihin lamang nito ay MAGSISI ka na at ITAMA mo na AGAD ang mga mali mo. Sundin mo na AGAD ang aral ng Diyos,
huwag ka MANATILI SA PAGGAWA NG MASAMA, dahil biglang darating ang araw ng paghihiganti at mamamatay ka sa PARUSA ng
Diyos.

INTERFAITH MARRIAGE IS BIBLICAL?
INTERFAITH MARRIAGE? Really biblical or not really biblical?

God, through the apostles, FORBIDS CHRISTIANS TO UNITE MARRIAGE WITH UNBELIEVERS. Apostle Paul explained that just as
righteousness has no fellowship with iniquity, a believer also has no accord with an unbeliever. True Christians or members of
the church of Christ are the temple of god while unbelievers, that of idols or false gods (II cor. 6: 14-16). Since the earlier times,
God has prohibited his people to INTERMARRY WITH THOSE WHO DO NOT BELONG TO HIS NATION. One of the reasons for this
prohibition is that by marrying those not belonging to his nation, GOD’S CHILDREN WOULD BE DRAWN AWAY FROM
FOLLOWING HIM “TO SERVE OTHER GODS” (Deut. 7:3-4)

Notice how explicitly GOD FORBADE HIS PEOPLE WHO HAD THE TRUE FAITH TO INTERMARRY WITH THE NATIONS WHO HAD
FALSE RELIGIONS, WORSHIPING AND SACRIFICING TO PAGAN GODS(Exod. 34:16, 14-15).

Several hundred years after the Israelites’ conquest of Canaan, this commandment of God was re-emphasized through His
prophets Ezra (Ezra 9:1-2; 10:10-12) and Nehemiah who led the rebuilding of the fallen wall of Jerusalem:

“At that time I also discovered that MANY OF THE JEWISH MEN HAD MARRIED WOMEN FROM ASHDOD, AMMON, AND MOAB.
… I TOLD THEM, ‘It was foreign women that made King Solomon sin. Here was a man who was greater than any of the kings of
other NATIONS. GOD LOVED HIM AND MADE HIM KING OVER ALL OF ISRAEL, AND YET HE FELL INTO THIS SIN. ARE WE THEN
TO FOLLOW YOUR EXAMPLE AND DISOBEY OUR GOD BY MARRYING FOREIGN WOMEN?’”Neh. 13:23,26-27,

The sin being referred to by Nehemiah that King Solomon was led into by his marriage to foreign women is worshiping and
building altars for pagan gods (I Kings 11:4-9).

Therefore, God’s decree to the ancient Israelites not to marry with people outside His nation firmly stood throughout history.
God’s people who came from the Babylonian captivity were also prohibited to marry those from pagan nations, for the same
reason that He forbade their forefathers to intermarry with the original inhabitants of Canaan—that they would not fall into
following false gods and hence remain as His own chosen people.

--In the Christian era, the Bible teaches that the chosen people of God are the members of the true Church of Christ (I Pet. 2:9-
10; Col. 1:12-14; Acts 20:28, Lamsa Translation). And the Holy Scriptures is as explicit in pronouncing that Church of Christ
members, too, should not marry those who do not have their faith:

“Do not unite in marriage with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity? Or what mingling has light
with darkness? Or what accord has Christ with Satan? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?” II Cor. 6:14-15

Unbelievers are those who do not have the true faith and hence do not belong to the true Church of Christ, notwithstanding
whether they are potentially good partners or not. It is God, through the apostles, who forbids the true Christians to marry
someone from other faiths for the same reason that He issued such a law to His first nation—SO THAT THEY WILL NOT BE
SEPARATED FROM GOD BUT REMAIN AS HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE:

“AND WHAT AGREEMENT HAS THE TEMPLE OF GOD WITH IDOLS? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I
will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people’. Therefore ‘COME OUT FROM
AMONG THEM AND BE SEPARATE,’ SAYS THE LORD. ‘DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU’.” II Cor.
6:16-17

As it is the Lord God Himself who founded and instituted marriage (Gen. 1:27-28), above anyone, He knows what makes up a
good marriage for His people.

Therefore, the members of Iglesia Ni Cristo also known as Church of Christ thus firmly believes that God’s prohibition on
“interfaith marriage” is certainly for the welfare and benefit of His children.

---In fact, Even Catholics do not allow INTERFAITH MARRIAGE between MUSLIMS AND JEWS.
WHY INC BUILD HOUSES OF WORSHIP?
GOD COMMANDED HIS people to build a temple in His name, this is what God said to His people in Haggai 1:8:
“Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified," says the LORD.”
(Haggai 1:8 NKJV)

The temple is called the "House of God": “How he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to
those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?” (Luke 6:4 NKJV)

It is also called “House of Worship” because it is here where God’s people worship Him: “But as for me, I will come into Your house
in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.” (Psalms 5:7 NKJV)

Thus, God is glorified and honored when we obey His commandment of building houses of worship: “Go up into the mountains and
bring down timber and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,’ says the LORD.” (Haggai 1:8 NIV)

It is also called the “House of Prayer” because here the servants of God pray to Him: “And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house
shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.'” (Matthew 21:13 NKJV)

God promised to hear the prayers made in this place: “Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this
place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be
there.” (II Chronicles 7:15-16 NIV)

Thus, knowing the importance of building the House of God, the Church Of Christ is fully committed in carrying out this
commandment. At present, the Church has built thousands of houses of worship all over the world. The most prominent of which is
the Central Temple along Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City in the Philippines which was dedicated to God on July 27, 1984.

The continuing increase of Church membership all over the world creates the need for more houses of worship. Indeed, the houses
of worship built by the Iglesia Ni Cristo serve not only as significant landmarks indicating the presence of true Christians in every
community but, most of all, serve as a clear manifestation of the Lord’s presence.

THE TEMPLE OR HOUSE OF WORSHIP IS THE HOUSE OF GOD


(II CHRON. 7:16; PSALMS 26:8)

"God does not dwell in temples made with hands" (Acts 17:24)??
It is never wrong to call the temple as the house of God. The Almighty God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Prophet Isaiah
made such pronouncements.
Prophet Isaiah called the temple as “the house of the God of Jacob” (Is. 2:3, New King James Version). The Lord Jesus Christ
referred to the temple as “my Father’s house” (Lk.2:49, Today’s English Version). Above all, the Almighty God Himself declared that
the temple is His house:
“Now He said to me, ‘It is your son Solomon who shall build My house and My courts’.” (I Chron. 28:6, NKJV)
You would, then, ask why it is written in Acts. 17:24 that God does not dwell in temples made with man’s hands? The Almighty
does not dwell in temples made with man’s hands in the sense that the temple is not His place of rest or dwelling:
“Thus says the Lord: ‘Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the
place of My rest?’” (Is. 66:1)
The temple is not God’s place of rest or dwelling. He does not dwell or “rest” in it. Which is it then that dwells in the house of
worship or temple? God said:
“For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and my eyes and My heart will be there
perpetually.” (II Chron. 7:16)
It is the name of God that dwells in the temple. God has chosen and sanctified His house, and promised that His name would be
there forever. Moreover, His glory also dwells in the temple:
“Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells.” (Ps. 26:8)
Thus, it is biblically sound to call the temple or house of worship as the house of God, for His name and glory dwell in it.

TANONG: Ang tao ba ay pwedeng sumamba sa Dios kahit saang lugars?

SAGOT: Ang tao ay maaaring magsagawa ng pagsamba saan mang dako niya gustuhin, ngunit, ang pagsambang tanging sinasamahan
ng Dios ay ang pagsambang isinasagawa sa lugar o gusaling kaniyang pinili.

"babasahin ninyo ang mga utos na ito sa lahat ng mga Israelita kung magtitipon sila sa presensya ng Panginoon na inyong Dios sa
LUGAR NA PIPILIIN NIYA." (Deuteronomio 31:11 ASND)
"Ngayon, umakyat kayo sa bundok at kumuha ng mga kahoy, at itayo ninyong muli ang templo. SA GANITONG PARAAN,
MASISIYAHAN AKO AT MAPAPARANGALAN. Ako, ang Panginoon , ang nagsasabi nito.” (Hageo 1:8 ASND)
"Babantayan ko sila at papakinggan ko ang mga panalanging iniaalay nila rito. Pinili ko at iniuukol ang Templong ito upang dito ako
sambahin magpakailanman. Lagi kong babantayan at mamahalin ang Templong ito magpakailanman" (2 Mga Cronica 7:15-16
MBB05)
"Na anopa't ang iyong mga mata ay idilat sa dako ng bahay na ito gabi at araw, sa dakong iyong sinabi, Ang aking pangalan ay
doroon; upang dinggin ang panalangin na idadalangin ng iyong lingkod sa dakong ito." (1 Hari 8:29)

PAGIINGAT SA KAPILYA
"Iingatan ng Panginoon ang kanyang templo laban sa mga sumasalakay. Wala nang mang-aapi sa mga mamamayan niya dahil
binabantayan na niya sila." (Zacarias 9:8 ASND)

"Pumunta si Jesus sa templo at itinaboy niya ang mga nagtitinda at namimili roon. Itinaob niya ang mga mesa ng mga nagpapalit ng
pera at ang mga upuan ng mga nagtitinda ng mga kalapating inihahandog sa templo . Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Sinasabi ng Dios sa
Kasulatan, ‘Ang bahay ko ay bahay-panalanginan.’ Pero ginawa ninyong pugad ng mga tulisan!” (Mateo 21:12-13 ASND)

Kung ang Panginoong Dios at ang Panginoong Hesus ay ipinagsasanggalang ang templo o bahay dalanginan ng Dios. Marapat lang na
ipagsanggalang o bantayan din natin ito.

HOLY SUPPER/ BANAL NA HAPUNAN/STA CENA
------------
“24 At nang siya'y makapagpasalamat, ay kaniyang pinagputolputol, at sinabi, Ito'y aking katawan na pinagputolputol dahil sa inyo:
GAWIN NINYO ITO SA PAGAALAALA SA AKIN.
25 At gayon din naman hinawakan ang saro pagkatapos na makahapon, na sinasabi, Ang sarong ito'y siyang bagong tipan sa aking
dugo: GAWIN NINYO ITO SA TUWING KAYO'Y MAGSISIINOM, SA PAGAALAALA SA AKIN.
26 Sapagka't sa tuwing kanin ninyo ang tinapay na ito, at inuman ninyo ang saro, AY INIHAHAYAG NINYO ANG PAGKAMATAY NG
PANGINOON HANGGANG SA DUMATING SIYA.” (1 Corinthians 11:24-26)
Ang banal na hapunan na may pagpuputol putol ng tinapay at paginom ng katas ng ubas ay pagalala kay Hesus.
TANONG: Hindi ba pwedeng alalahanin si Hesus pag umaga?

------------
Ang utos ni Hesus ay isagawa ang Holy Supper sa pagalaala sa kanya. Hindi isagawa ang Holy Supper o banal na hapunan pag gabi
lang. "At siya'y dumampot ng tinapay, at nang siya'y makapagpasalamat, ay kaniyang pinagputolputol, at ibinigay sa kanila, na
sinasabi, Ito'y aking katawan, na ibinibigay dahil sa inyo: GAWIN NINYO ITO SA PAGAALAALA SA AKIN." (Luke 22:19)
"Kung anong bagay ang iniuutos ko sa iyo, ay siya mong isasagawa: huwag mong dadagdagan, ni babawasan.” (Deuteronomy 12:32)
Kaya latag kau ng talata na inutos ni Hesus na sa gabi lang isagawa ang banal na hapunan?

------------
Walang utos sa biblia na isagawa ang banal na hapunan pag gabi, umaga, hapon o madaling araw. Ang utos sa biblia ay isagawa ang
banal na hapunan sa pagalaala sa pagkamatay ni Hesus. (1 Corinthians 11:24-26, Luke 22:19)
Ayun sa Gawa 2:46, ang mga alagad ay nagpuputolputol ng tinapay arawaraw hindi gabi gabi.
[46]At araw-araw sila'y nagsisipanatiling matibay sa pagkakaisa sa templo, at sa pagpuputolputol ng tinapay sa bahay-bahay, at
nagsisikain sila ng kanilang pagkain na may galak at may katapatan ng puso. [47]Na nangagpupuri sa Dios, at nangagtatamo ng
paglingap ng buong bayan. At idinaragdag sa kanila ng Panginoon araw-araw yaong nangaliligtas. (Tagalog Bible. Mga Gawa 2:46-47)
Maski ang apostol Pablo ay inabutan pa ng umaga sa pagsasagawa ng banal na hapunan.
"At nang siya'y makapanhik na, at mapagputolputol na ang tinapay, at makakain na, at makapagsalita sa kanila ng mahaba, hanggang
sa sumikat ang araw, kaya't siya'y umalis." (Gawa 20:11)

Kaya ang banal na hapunan o Holy Supper na may pagpuputolputol ng tinapay ay hindi panggabi lamang tulad ng itinuturo ng MCGI.
Dahil walang utos sa biblia na isagawa ang banal na hapunan pag gabi, maski umaga, hapon o madaling araw man. Walang takdang
oras na ibinigay ang banal na kasultan tungkol sa pagsasagawa ng Holy Supper. Ang utos sa biblia ay isagawa ang banal na hapunan
sa pagalaala sa pagkamatay ni Hesus. (1 Corinthians 11:24-26, Luke 22:19)

LITERAL ANG BANAL NA HAPUNAN


Ang main purpose kung bakit inutos ni Hesus sa kaniyang mga alagad na isagawa ang banal na hapunan ay upang alalahanin ang
kaniyang pagkamatay.
Ang Holy Supper o banal na hapunan na binabanggit sa Banal na Kasulatan ay may pagpuputol at pagkain ng tinapay na walang
lebadura at paginom ng katas ng ubas. Ito ay INUTOS ni Hesus na gawin ng kaniyang mga alagad sa pagalaala sa kaniyang
kamatayan.
“24 At nang siya'y makapagpasalamat, ay kaniyang pinagputolputol, at sinabi, Ito'y aking katawan na pinagputolputol dahil sa inyo:
GAWIN NINYO ITO SA PAGAALAALA SA AKIN. 25 At gayon din naman hinawakan ang saro pagkatapos na makahapon, na sinasabi,
Ang sarong ito'y siyang bagong tipan sa aking dugo: GAWIN NINYO ITO SA TUWING KAYO'Y MAGSISIINOM, SA PAGAALAALA SA AKIN.
26 Sapagka't sa tuwing kanin ninyo ang tinapay na ito, at inuman ninyo ang saro, AY INIHAHAYAG NINYO ANG PAGKAMATAY NG
PANGINOON HANGGANG SA DUMATING SIYA." (1 Corinthians 11:24-26)
"At siya'y dumampot ng tinapay, at nang siya'y makapagpasalamat, ay kaniyang pinagputolputol, at ibinigay sa kanila, na sinasabi,
Ito'y aking katawan, na ibinibigay dahil sa inyo: gawin ninyo ito sa pagaalaala sa akin." (Luke 22:19)

Napakalinaw sa mga talata na ipinapagawa ni Hesus sa kaniyang mga alaga ang Holy Supper o banal na hapunan na may
pagpuputolputol at pagkain ng tinapay at paginom ng katas ng ubas alangalang sa pagkamatay ni Hesus.

Dahil hindi literal ang banal na hapunan ayun sa turo ng MCGI. At tiyak na hindi nila mapuputol ang tinapay dahil ito ay imaginary
lang ayon sa aral nila. Hindi sila mga alagad ni Hesus dahil hindi nila inaalala ang Panginoong Hesus sa paraang itinuro nya na ito ay
may pagpuputolputol at pagkain ng tinapay at paginom ng katas ng ubas.
Ang Holy Supper o banal na hapunan na isinagawa ni Hesus at ng kaniyang mga alagad ay may actual na pagpuputol-putol
ng tinapay at paginom ng katas ng ubas. Kaya ito ay LITERAL, HINDI IMAGINARY lang na syang turo ng MCGI.
"26 At samantalang sila'y nagsisikain, ay DUMAMPOT si Jesus ng TINAPAY, at pinagpala, at PINAGPUTOLPUTOL; at
ibinigay sa mga alagad, at sinabi, KUNIN ninyo, KANIN ninyo; ito ang aking katawan. 27 At DUMAMPOT siya ng isang saro,
at nagpasalamat, at ibinigay sa kanila, na nagsasabi, MAGSIINOM kayong lahat diyan; 28 Sapagka't ito ang aking dugo ng
tipan, na nabubuhos dahil sa marami, sa ikapagpapatawad ng mga kasalanan." (Matthew 26:26-28)

At ang Holy Supper at banal na hapunan na may actual na pagpuputol-putol ng tinapay ay itinuro din ng mga Apostol sa
mga alagad at ito ay ginawa nilang LITERAL, HINDI IMAGINARY na syang tinuturo ng mga MCGI.
“24 At nang siya'y makapagpasalamat, ay kaniyang pinagputolputol, at sinabi, Ito'y aking katawan na pinagputolputol
dahil sa inyo: GAWIN NINYO ITO SA PAGAALAALA SA AKIN. 25 At gayon din naman hinawakan ang saro pagkatapos na
makahapon, na sinasabi, Ang sarong ito'y siyang bagong tipan sa aking dugo: GAWIN NINYO ITO SA TUWING KAYO'Y
MAGSISIINOM, SA PAGAALAALA SA AKIN. 26 Sapagka't sa tuwing kanin ninyo ang tinapay na ito, at inuman ninyo ang
saro, AY INIHAHAYAG NINYO ANG PAGKAMATAY NG PANGINOON HANGGANG SA DUMATING SIYA." (1 Corinthians
11:24-26)
Ayun sa mga talata, Si Hesus ay dumampot ng tinapay at pinagpuputolputol ito gayundin sya ay dumampot ng saro.
Ibinigay sa kaniyang mga alagad at kanilang kinain ang tinapay at katas ng ubas.

Pero ayun sa MCGI. Imaginary lang ang lahat ng mga ito at hindi LITERAL. Kaya papano kaya nila ieexplain ang mga literal
na pagdampot, pagpuputolputol ng tinapay, pagkain ng tinapay at paginom ng katas ng ubas na binbanggit sa talata.

JOHN 6:53 & 63: HINDI LITERAL ANG BANAL NA HAPUNAN?


Ang John 6:53 and 63 na ginagamit ng mga mangangaral na hindi daw literal ang Holy Supper na isinagawa ng Panginoong Hesus at
kaniyang mga alagad ay WALANG KINALAMAN sa Holy Supper.
“Then Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no
life on you’.
“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:53 & 63
NKJV)

Ang talatang John 6:53 at 63 ay hindi tumutokoy sa Holy Supper. Ang Holy Supper ay may pagpuputolputol at pagkain ng tinapay at
paginom ng katas ng ubas (Matthew 26:26-28).
WE ARE DAILY SINNERS AND GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO SINNERS
NO 1 is perfect except the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is aware that his disciples will follow God with repeated sins.
That's why our Lord Jesus Christ instructed us to pray to God and ALWAYS asked for the forgiveness of our daily sins “9 So this is
how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, we pray that your name will always be kept holy. 10 We pray that your kingdom will come
— that what you want will be done here on earth, the same as in heaven. 11 Give us the food we need for today. 12 FORGIVE OUR
SINS, just as we have forgiven those who did wrong to us. 13 Don’t let us be tempted, but save us from the Evil One.’ (Matt. 6:9-13)
But God only listen to those people who obey and done his will. “31We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen
to the one who worships Him and does His will.”(John 9:31)
And the will of God is to gather everything or bring unity under Christ(Eph. 1:9-10). And these people are found in ONE BODY, the
body/church of Christ(1 Corinthians 12:13, Acts 20:28, LAMSA), which is headed by the Lord Jesus Christ (Col. 1:18). These people
who are found in 1 BODY/CHURCH of Christ have the rights to serve the LIVING GOD. “14How much more, then, will the blood of
Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,[42]
so that we may serve the living God”(Heb. 9:14)
In short, If u are a member of the 1 BODY/CHURCH of Christ, U have the rights to call to God and serve and worship God. If one is
not part of the body/church of Christ, whatever self-righteousness u did, it is always filthy rags before God.

------------
TANONG: Kung once a year lang isinasagawa ng Iglesia Ni Cristo ang banal na hapunan, papano mapapatawad ang
kasalanan ng isang miyembro nila kung sya ay namatay at hindi imabot sa susunod na Sta. Cena o banal na hapunan ng
Iglesia ni Cristo? Maliligtas padin ba sya?

SAGOT: Walang taong hindi nagkakasala maliban sa Panginoong Hesus. Alam ng Panginoong Hesus na ang kaniyang mga
alagad ay makasusunod sa utos ng Dios at patuloy ding makagagawa ng kasalanan. Kaya tinuruan ni Hesus ang kaniyang
mga alagad na LAGIANG MANALANGIN at dapat laman ng LAGIANG PANALANGIN ang paghingi ng kapatawaran sa
nagawang kasalanan.
"Kaya manalangin kayo ng katulad nito: ‘Ama naming nasa langit, sambahin nawa kayo ng mga tao. Nawaʼy magsimula na
ang inyong paghahari, at masunod ang inyong kalooban dito sa lupa tulad ng sa langit. Bigyan nʼyo po kami ng aming
pagkain sa araw-araw. Patawarin nʼyo kami sa aming mga kasalanan, tulad ng pagpapatawad namin sa mga nagkasala sa
amin. At huwag nʼyo kaming hayaang matukso kundi iligtas nʼyo po kami kay Satanas. [Sapagkat kayo ang Hari, ang
Makapangyarihan at Dakilang Dios magpakailanman!]’" (Mateo 6:9-13 ASND)
Kaya maliligtas padin ang isang miyembro ng Iglesia ni Cristo dahil meron namang lagiang panalangin na laman nito ay
paghingi ng kapatawaran sa nagawang kasalanan na dapat nyang laging isagawa. At meron ding panalangin na tinitindig
ng ministro sa pagsamba sa iglesia ni Cristo. Kaya importante sa isang iglesia ni Cristo ang daily prayer at pagsamba.
