The Iglesia Ni Cristo doctrine of exclusive salvation to INC members is very clear. Buddhists, Shintoists, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims and Agnostics/Atheists will all burn in hell. Felix Manalo started preaching the Iglesia Ni Cristo since 1913. The intolerance to other religious groups of the Manalo Family have been passed to all INC members. With a 2011 world population of around 7+billion people, 120+ million in Japan, I think it is so naive to think or even preach that only a handful of INC members will be saved. I even estimate that Iglesia Ni Cristo members in Japan (Ibaraki, Kawasaki, Nagoya, Osaka, Tokyo) cannot exceed 1000, at maximum, the INC members in Japan may only be around 500. Iglesia Ni Cristo or INC is not that popular or well-known as a religious group all around in Japan. I do not know if Iglesia Ni Cristo have their own type of INC churches like in the Philippines but I saw some videos in youtube and in a blogsite that they sometimes gather in the Rhiga Hotel in Tokyo. The intolerance of Iglesia Ni Cristo to other religious group is evident in INC teachings.
Buddhists, Shintoists, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims and Agnostics/Atheists are the major religious groups in Japan. With the 120+ million population in Japan, it is unthinkable and illogical to preach that only INC members in Japan will be saved in the land of the rising sun upon the judgment day. Iglesia Ni Cristo openly condemns other religions in the Philippines. INC bloggers and and official publications of Iglesia Ni Cristo are very vulgar in dismissing and attacking other religious organizations. INC churches with weird design can be found in different parts of the Philippines but not in Japan. I am not sure why does the INC churches with pointy designs can't be found in Japan. (INC believes that the spirit of the INC god dwells in modern houses of worship). In Philippines, Iglesia Ni Cristo group is also actively involved with Philippine politics. And I can understand why Iglesia Ni Cristo is politically silent in Japan. It's because INC membership in Japan is very little and the Japanese politicians have more honor and more respectable than Filipino politicians. The INC block voting have no power in Japan.
Iglesia Ni Cristo of the Manalo family loves politics. The Religious Dynasty of the Manalo family of Iglesia Ni Cristo does not fit well with the Japanese form of Government which is parliamentary government with a constitutional monarchy. The political influence of Iglesia Ni Cristo in the Philippines does not exist in Japan. The political power of Iglesia Ni Cristo in Japan is ZERO, unlike in the Philippines. In Manila, INC blessings are being sought after by politicians during elections. In return, INC is heavily involved in politics after the elections. INC is involved with Government appointments, Charter Change, Senate Presidency and even in impeachment case of Ombudsman among others. Iglesia Ni Cristo is a dangerous group to be allowed in different countries. INC may also influence other government countries in political issues. Stay away from Iglesia Ni Cristo. The religious bigotry of Iglesia Ni Cristo should not be tolerated. Iglesia Ni Cristo is also greatly associated with politics.
Buddhists, Shintoists, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims and Agnostics/Atheists in Japan are all going to burn in Hell according to Iglesia Ni Cristo. The basic doctrine of Iglesia Ni Cristo is ONLY INC MEMBERS WILL BE SAVED (in judgment day). Iglesia Ni Cristo members cannot deny this. PASUGO MAY-JUNE 1979 page 4 ... outside the Church of Christ no one would be saved. Japan is a great place to live. I even dream of living in Japan. But I also hope that Iglesia Ni Cristo will not spill their political influence outside the Philippines specially in Japan. It is enough for me that we cannot see any pointy INC churches in Japan. To me, it is such an eyesore to see the pointy Iglesia Ni Cristo churches. I have been a witness on how INC members persecuted other people. That story will be shared (in detail) hopefully in the near future. The cruelty of some INC members have pushed us to expose the atrocities of the Iglesia Ni Cristo. I have relatives and friends that are INC members. I respect them. I just pity the INC members for being ignorant on how that some of their church mates behaves towards to non INC members. I hope INC members will be enlightened with the light not with darkness.
Iglesia Ni Cristo is an influential political group in the Philippines. INC stood behind Ferdinand Marcos against Cory Aquino. INC members also died during the violent protest of EDSA III. Iglesia Ni Cristo is also involved in government appointments. INC was also an avid supporter of Gloria Arroyo • Pinoy refers to the Filipino people in the Philippines and overseas Filipinos around the world. This blogsite is for the Filipinos and by Filipino who loves Philippines. I am proud to be Pinoy.
I suggest the Japanese government not to allow the political cult Iglesia Ni Cristo to spread their poison in the Land of the Rising Sun. Iglesia Ni Cristo is a politically influential in the Philippines that intervenes even the impeachment of a public official.
ReplyDeleteINC members even joined the anti-government protest EDSA3
truth hurts!
ReplyDeleteI'm Japanese and I've seen so many Jehovah's Witnesses anywhere I go in Japan, always preaching from door-to-door. Most of them are Japanese, of course. And they have various kinds of teaching tools like magazines, books, DVDs, websites all in my language, Japanese.
ReplyDeleteBut I've never seen a Japanese who claims to be a member of Iglesia ni Kisto. Iglesia ni Kristo don't have any reading material written in my language, and no one to come to my house to teach me about the Bible. If they believe only the members of their church will be saved, I say their God is unfair.
