“the greatest treath to the catholic religion in the philippines”
philippines.sadly today, that is not the case, a growing tide of
secularism, apathy amongs the youth and aggresive protestant
evangelism is buffeting the church on all sides. currently there
are more than 2000 so called ‘christian churches’ registered with
the philippines secureties and echange commission (sec).
of the myriad of so called ‘christian churches’ , two are the
most active in leading catholics away from their faith:
founded by one felix manalo in 1912. this religion believes in
‘sola scriptura’ but rejects ‘sola fide’ or salvation by faith. they
teach that felix manalo is an angel/messenger send to estab-
lish the true church in the ‘last days’. they totally reject the di-
vinity of christ, saying he is ONLY HUMAN’. and salvation can
only be achieved when you become a member of their church.
they don’t celebrate christmas because it is pagan in origin.
this church has expirienced large growth in membership after
world war2 and majority of their converts are catholics. today
they are still growing and you can see their churches in every
corner of the philippines and also in other parts of the world
largely because of immigrant filipino workers. one of their min-
ister boasted that ‘only within 50yrs they managed to destroy
the dominance of the catholic religion in the philippines’.
they are also politcally influencial because they don’t allow
their members to vote for political leaders not approved by the
leaders of their religion. most of their converts still come from
the catholic religion and they spend vast amounts of money
and t.v airtime to malign and twist catholic doctrines and their
effectiveness is proven for now they boast a membership
numbering in the millions and they are still growing.
MEMBERS OF CHURCH OF GOD INTERNATIONAL
their preisiding minister is eliseo soriano ( for a fairly accurate
short bio, go to wikipedia and search for eli or eliseo soriano.)
this church rapid explosion in membership began during the
late 80’s (church founded during the 30’s) and again most of
their converts are from the catholic religion. they also believe
‘in sola scriptura’ but also reject ‘sola fide’. they believe that
jesus is divine but not the same as the father, thereby reject-
ting the ‘trinity’. this religious group is also virulently anticatholi
ironically both of this curches who believes in ‘sola scriptura’ has
doctrines diametrically opposed two each other! both are now en
gaged in a ‘conversion war’ with each other, spending vast amount
of time and money trying to prove each others interpretation of the
bible is wrong… but united in their hatred and their opposition
to the one true church…
