Manila Philippines - Iglesia Ni Cristo ministers and members often use Acts 20:28 Lamsa Version to prove that Iglesia Ni Cristo by the Manalo family is the only true religion. INC members would usually attack Catholics and other religions just to prove their point. The Lamsa version of The Acts 20:28 indicating church of Christ is being boasted by INC cult followers to defend their faith. By seeing other Bible translations, it is quite obvious to see that it is only Lamsa version that uses church of Christ instead of Church of God. Iglesia Ni Cristo failed to prove their church name in Romans 16:16 so now they are using Acts 20:28 of Lamsa. Please try to notice that most and more reliable Bible versions use Church of God in Acts 20:28. This is how Iglesia Ni Cristo deceives their counterparts in religious debates, they would use different bible versions and articles written by Catholics and Protestants which they judged to be burned in hell. Please read the different bible versions of Acts 20:28 enlisted below.

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.

ReplyDeleteour IDOL Manalo never goes wrong! in fact, he is the angel who will come to save us all and put the mark on our foreheads. His interpretation of the Bible is absolute! he is above than the bible... Pinoy Courier, mag pa doctrina ka na lang. :p
ReplyDelete- magpasakop ka sa pamamahala para sa kaligtasan mo...
I am wondering this... If the lamsa version was not published until 1933, and Manalo's church was founded in 1914, explain this to me, what did Manalo use to explain this verse to his followers??
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Romans 16:16?
