George Lamsa Translation???

INC cultist ministers are always quoting George Lamsa Bible translation. His Bible translation though tainted in areas is for the most part agreeable with other translations. But where Lamsa actually  interprets the Scripture is found in his Idioms in the Bible explained and the key to the original gospels written by Lamsa in 1971 published by Harper Collins.  He has a allegorical interpretation ignoring the plain literal translation. The back cover states that this book goes far in correcting such error that have crept into biblical scholarship.  In  this book  he explains his interpretation of the scripture of his Bible –he believes these are figures of speech and not literal. Here are just a few examples.

Bible= Gen.1:3 “Let there be light”                                              

 Lamsa’s interpretation =”Let there be enlightenment 

Bible=Gen.2:9 “Tree of life in the midst of the Garden”                      

Lamsa interpretation = Sex , posterity

Bible= Gen.5:24 God took Enoch (Heb.11:5 States expressly he did not see death)                                                                         

Lamsa interpretation= He died painlessly, he had a heart attack  

Bible=Gen.3:24 wrestling with the angel of the Lord                           

Lamsa interpretation  = Being suspicious of a pious person         

Bible=Ex.3:2 the burning bush not consumed                                  

Lamsa interpretation = difficulties ahead difficulties will be overcome

 Bible=   Ex.3:5 Take off your shoes for you are on Holy ground.     

Lamsa interpretation  =Disregard pagan teachings, cleanse your heart

 Bible=   John 1 the word was God

Lamsa interpretation = the word is - a utterance, a command

Bible=  John 1:18 the only begotten son 

Lamsa interpretation= The first one who recognized the fatherhood of God. The only God-like man; hence, a spiritual son of God.

Bible= John 3:3 Born again

Lamsa interpretation= to become like a child, to start all over.

Bible=Jn.10:36 I and my father are one                                     

Lamsa interpretation = the father and I agree.

Bible= 1 Thess. 4:17 to meet him in the air

Lamsa interpretation = to hasten to greet him

Bible=  Rev.1:18 was dead and behold I am Alive forevermore.

Lamsa interpretation= I was unknown and now I am well and successful

Its obvious with only these few examples that the Lamsa’s interpretation of the Bible is tainted by a certain view, of anti-supernaturalism. There are many other scriptures that can be cited on this, while not everything he says is wrong because he believes it all relates to Aramaic language and not Hebrew or Greek it becomes a wrong understanding in areas. This would show up in certain places of his Bible translation that is from the Aramaic. Now wonder, cults like Jehovah’s Witnessess and the INC always quote the Lamsa Translation.

Manalo, INC and the Philippine Politics

Erano G. Manalo, cult leader and the executive minister of INC dies, he leaves the church his father founded to become the biggest indigenous church in the country.

During his administration, the church experience growth and expansion in the country and in some parts of the world where there are Filipino residents. Factors that contributed to its growth are the teaching that only INC is the true church, the fear that outsiders will be burn to hell and the use of mass media to spread their own belief albeit without website in this information age. Critically attacking both the Catholics, Protestants and other denominations, INC’s trademarks are rude and impolite in some manners. There is even voice recordings of their executive minister speaking with rage on their ministers though some insiders consider Erano to be much better compared to his father founder for its temperament. The former is said to be cold and an aggressive person.

Block voting is INC’s trademark. It cast a shadow of apprehension for the politicians vying to run and would make a contribution to the church. The INC on the other hand endorses the politician regardless of its religious background.

During the tumultuous times of the 70’s and early 80’s, INC leadership gives it all out support to Ferdinand E. Marcos, despite widespread corruption and human rights violation, the INC leadership supports the dictator.

Then came the people power but the INC didn’t bulge, during the first free election for the 20 years, the INC supported candidate Danding Cojangco, a Marcos loyalist with catastrophic results. But nevertheless, INC has palace insiders and the government has some big contracts given to some INC prominent members.

The Catholic Church and some militant protestant churches never capitalized on elections but instead give guidelines to their members on how to choose a leader. Much of these characters are being honest, morally upright person and a trustworthy public servant.

Against all odds, the INC again chooses a wrong candidate to become a president in the name of Joseph Estrada, a known womanizer, drinker, a college drop out and a guilty plunderer. Even if Estrada is declared president, the celebration is short since he was ousted by people power 2. But the INC staged it’s version of people power, a people power without the usual prayer meeting, without singing, without the spirit of EDSA. It is a people power with just a horde of people mostly INC members, poor and illiterate with orange t-shirts, reminiscent of the party color of their disgrace leader.

Without divine guidance, people power 3 failed and 4 of the mob was killed. 3 of them are INC members.

INC’s legacy is mixed; it contributed great in some aspects but brought horrendous terrible consequences for those who believe its lies. INC is just a creation of self proclaim messiahs who for their beliefs blinded millions of illiterate Filipinos and leading them to the dark abyss.

Tide has change; old leaders have come to past. You could not hide the truth. Information is readily available and can be access everywhere. This is the time of critical thinking and a new beginning. I believe the INC youth of today are curious about their controversial church history, their leader’s beginnings and the INC’s manipulation of the truth. It is not a church of freedom, but a church of pure manipulation and ultimate submission to their followers.

2Cr 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Mayroon bang Iglesia ni Cristo sa Bibliya?

Mayroon bang iglesia ni Cristo sa Bibliya?? Sagot..wala!!! Basahin ang Rom. 16:16 (Romans 16:16: “Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you”. Ang nakasulat ay churches of Christ o mga iglesia ni Cristo,in other words dapat MINK ang tawag sa kanila (mga iglesia ni Cristo). O kahit na mayroong mga iglesia ni Cristo, hindi naman si Manalo ang naunang nagpangalan niyan sapagkat ang dami ring sekta ang gumamit ng pangalang iyan halimbawa: Churches of Christ (1906), Churches of Christ in Australia (19^th century), The Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ (1926), International Churches of Christ (1860), Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints)-orhinal na pangalan ngMormons (1830) at ang dami pa pong iba…isama muna rin ang UCCP- United Church of Christ in the Philippines…

D parin po uubra ang pangalang Iglesia ni Cristo sapagkat dati ang tawag nila ay INK naging INC. Besides marami pong verses na church of God sa Bible…e di church of God ang tama..kung pangalan ang basehan..??

Deity of Jesus Christ (Sagot sa Libro ni Manlo na Christ-God: False)

The deity of Christ is usually the central issue; first let us look at the great difference the Word of God places between God and his creation, between the Creator and mankind whom He has made

GOD        Matt. 19:26-       All things possible with God

MAN        Luke 12:26–        All things not possible with man

GOD        Deut. 33:27-       God is Eternal

MAN        Is. 40:6-                Man not eternal, but like the grass of the field

GOD        1 Tim. 6:16-         God is immortal

MAN        Is. 51:12-              Man is mortal

In Isaiah 42:8, we are told not to trust in man, but in God alone. Paul tells us in Romans 1:25 of the error of worshipping or serving any created thing and not the creator. With this in mind, let us see what the Scriptures teach about the nature and character of Christ.

GOD-                        Psalm 90:2-everlasting (Heb. “olam”)

JESUS CHRIST-   Micah 5:2-from eternity (Heb. “olam”)

GOD-                        Is. 44: 6-the First and the Last

JESUS CHRIST     Rev. 1:17, 18-the First and the Last

GOD                          Jer. 23:24-Fills all

JESUS CHRIST     Eph. 4:10-Fills all things

GOD                          Mal.3:6-Unchanging

JESUS CHRIST     Heb. 13:8-Unchanging

GOD                          Ps 135:6-Does whatever he pleases

JESUS CHRIST     Jn 5:19- Does whatever the Father doe

GOD                          Is. 43:3- The Holy One                                                    

JESUS CHRIST     Acts 3:14-The Holy One

GOD                           Deut. 32:4-Sinless

JESUS CHRIST     Heb. 4:15-Sinless

GOD                          Gen.1:1-Creator

JESUS CHRIST     John 1:1-Creator

GOD                          Neh. 9:6-Sustainer of All

JESUS CHRIST     Col. 1:17-Sustainer of All

GOD                          Acts 17:28; Job 12:10-The Life Giver                        

JESUS CHRIST     John 14:6; 10:28-The Life and the Life Giver

GOD                          1 Tim. 6:15-King of Kings

JESUS CHRIST     Rev. 19:16-King of Kings

GOD                          Psalm 145:13-Has an everlasting kingdom                            

JESUS CHRIST     Daniel 7:14-Messiah has an everlasting kingdom

GOD                         1 Kings 8:39-Knows men’s heart

JESUS CHRIST     Jn 2:25; Rev. 2:23-Knows men’s heart

GOD                          Gen. 18:25- Judge of all                                                        

JESUS CHRIST     2 Cor. 5:10-Judge of every person

GOD                         Ps. 103:19-Ruler & Lord of All

JESUS CHRIST     Acts 10:36-Lord of All

GOD                         Zech. 14:9-The Only Lord

JESUS CHRIST     1 Cor. 8:6-The One Lord

In conclusion, Jesus was not merely a man but a God who became man, any church who does not recognize this qualifies Him to be a cult- Iglesia ni Cristo (Manalo) is one great example

INC and the Philippine Politics/ INC Brainwashing

   Members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, unlike the rest of us Filipinos, are not allowed to think for themselves when it comes to interpretation of the Bible.  They must submit to the official interpretation of Scripture from the Central Administration of the Iglesia Ni Cristo.  If any member disagrees with the interpretation of the Scriptures as taught by the Central Administration of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, they are cast out and told they are damned into the flames of hell.  This is a frightening and extremely traumatic experience, so devastating to a person’s life, employment, and careers, few can escape and live a normal life.

The force by which members of INC are intimidated to stay in the membership is tremendous, especially those who are second, third, and fourth generation.  By now they are brainwashed in the cult’s teachings and convinced they are in the true Church of Christ. Membership in this group has increased in recent years due to the lack of public information that would exposed the INC as a cult group and its doctrine and teachings nonbiblical.  The internet may serve as the only means a person can find information about the cult they are in and doctrinal information that may set their minds free from the religious bondage associated with INC. Many feel scared and threatened by the manner the group is held so tightly in the grip of such few men and women of power. Add to this religious fear that there may be a hit squad (religious mafia), authorized to enact the death penalty upon those who depart, and members become prisoners of conscience in a nation where there is supposed to be freedom of religion by all citizens protected by the government.  

In the Philippines it is well known that different levels of government have given the INC use of military, police, and other enforcement bodies the power to persecute, arrest, and abuse anyone who openly opposes INC. The infiltration of the Philippine government by INC members on all levels makes it dangerous to confront the false doctrines being taught in INC churches. Even the Catholic church and its priest and bishops are intimidated by the power of the INC in the Philippine offices of government.  Eventually, there may be open conflict where Catholics and INC members battle it out.  Only time will tell if there will be great bloodshed.  Does the Philippine Republic already have a shadow government in the hands of Erdy son of Felix angel?  Many think so! Why do so many politicians and presidents go to this group and lobby for the millions of votes in their block balloting, and then once in office seek counsel at INC headquarters before making serious national decisions?  Is this not evidence of a shadow government?

What is the solution of protecting the future civil rights of Philippine citizens and freedom of religious expression including making converts? Government reports seem to say all is well in the Philippines except for the Islamic unrest and a few Communist still trying to level the economic playing field between the poor and the rich. INC does not like other religious groups trying to convert its members. Splinter groups of INC and their leaders are constantly harassed, threatened, and openly abused by government agencies. The national government in the Philippines must enact and enforce laws that prohibits officials of the government from discriminating against and abusing religious groups. Any religious group whose members carry out directives using government offices and police powers must be denied existence in the Republic. Such individuals and religious groups should upon indictment and found guilty, be denied property ownership and all existing property subject to taxation commencing the year in which such acts or violations occurred. Any employee or official on any level of government, from the President down to the Barangay Council, who in any way allow any religious leader to persuade them to perform any act not authorized by a court order, should be removed from office or employment immediately. Any denial of any civil right of a Citizen or Guest (those legally in the country by visa), because of religious expression should be guilty of a crime.  Such should be removed from employment or office and banned the rest of their life from all government employment or political positions. Any government contracts held by any business entity guilty of complicity in such activity should be canceled and such business closed down.

It is wrong for any religious group to have preference over others and given the right to execute vigilantism using employees and political office holders of the Philippine government on all levels.  It is reported that the INC has infiltrated employment positions containing power and authority on all levels of the Philippine government.  It is reported that these employees have used their positions for the benefit and power of INC staff and leaders.  It is also reported that INC has also infiltrated all levels of Government and these public servants have used their offices and power for the benefit of the INC and its staff and leaders.  While there may not be wide-spread executions and death squads searching for fleeing members of INC or those who publicly disagree with INC policy and doctrines, just one such case of torture, beheading, burning and killing, the knowledge of which is spread from province to province, is enough to keep members and dissenters not question practices of INC or its doctrines.  Anyone who challenges the INC is currently in danger of limb, body, and life! That is why such writings as this must be done anonymously so as to escape retaliation and maybe death. This kind of religious power should not be enjoyed by any religion upon the earth in any nation.  When any religion has a licence to eradicate whom it will, the world is not safe and there will be no people who have a free conscience and the liberty of free speech.  Such religion deserves to be wiped out and all property confiscated. When any religion needs or uses the power of civil government to enact penalties against dissenters, it is no longer religious.

Jesus is God, Eranio is Man
