Religious Enterprises

Mike Velarde is now a billionaire. Each and every week, a large crowd of El Shaddai followers have been buying, what Mike Velarde has been selling: Jesus. This has been going on since twenty years ago. Imagine the hundreds of billions more that is the worth of Manalo’s Iglesia Ni Cristo selling to its faithful followers the same Jesus since a hundred years ago. Now imagine the vast wealth and power of the Catholic Church in a wider and bigger control of religion in the Philippines selling the same Jesus to millions of Filipinos every single day since five hundred years ago. And to think that these religious enterprises are able to stay profitable and successful as a business by nurturing fear and by catering to human ignorance. Also by promising that better life to come after death with God in heaven. And to think further that even our frightened newspaper editors and frightened columnists have not ceased assisting these religious leaders make tons of money by selling Jesus in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia.

Ikiknalulungkot ko pong sabihin na hindi po totoo na enterprise o negosyo ang Iglesia ni Cristo, hindi po totoo ito.
Ang Iglesia ni Cristo po ang pumalit sa ISRAEL sa pagiging Bayan ng Panginoong Diyos.
at ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO ay ang tinutukoy na DALAGAng Matalino ( parable of ten Virgin ) na ikakasal sa Panginoong JESUS CRISTO sa kanyang pagbabalik, sa Bawat Kapilya o Chapel na nakikita po ninyo ay nagtatalaga o nagdedestino ang Panginoong Diyos ng mga Banal na Anghel na galing sa Langit, kaya sa Kapurihan ng Kabanalan ay talagang pinapaganda ang mga Chapel darating po ang Oras na kaming mga kaanib sa IGLESIA ni CRISTO ay sasamba sa Panginoong Jesus Cristo sa LANGIT Kapiling ang mga Banal na Anghel.
lubos na Gumagalang

Prayer is Useless

Most people still pray. From infancy to senility – they believe in the power of prayer. Unfortunately, God, the Father, could not answer the prayer of God, the Son. Jesus, crucified on the cross, cried out: My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me. Well, why couldn’t Jesus, as a God himself, answer His own silly prayer? Jesus must have been just bragging to high heavens when He declared: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” My dear Jesus, how come a bunch of superstitious primitives got not only through you, but also got you crucified on a piece of wood? John 14:6.
