ReinnieR Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 i found this at some message board [quote] good day! the iglesia ni cristo does not, in any way, start an argument with you, unbelievers. the Bible is clear: "I will make the wise geniuses, and the geniuses, wise". this is the reason why we at INC do not argue about trivial matters; what is important is we are blessed to be a part of the church. we consider it our wealth that we have common sense: we don't kneel before statues like pagans, we don't venerate stones and we don't mock Christ's death by wearing the cross on our necks (it's like wearing miniature coffins). of course, it is pointless to argue with you people because in your church services, you hardly open the bible. also, most of you are baptized without even understanding the trinity. your basic arithmetic ability alone (1+1+1=1) deserves nothing but compassion from us. Cheesy we worship God Almighty on our own terms and we thank Him for the glorious state the church has attained. we are proud that we are members of the INC and each day, we ask the Lord Jesus to help us keep our faith. therefore, we pray that you guys build your own website and create your own stuff in cyberspace. leave us INC members alone. we suggest you research on your own doctrines first - for example, why is God divided into three? why does the priest share the bread but drink all the wine? why do you terrify babies by dressing them up and then pouring water on their foreheads? (they always scream!) where in the bible is it writtem that mary and your many, many saints ascended to heaven? why are you scared of your own church by making the sign of the cross each time you pass by it or enter it? let us share with you this fact: NOTHING that anyone can say can ever stop the hand of God. the iglesia ni cristo will continue to shine all over the world and reflect God's majesty. the unbelievers can cry with envy and say all bad things about us, but the fact is we ARE blessed and sadly, you are not. we hope that God will extend His hand to you and call you to the church so that you may learn how to worship Him properly. and if, like lucifer, you insist on your "knowledge", then good luck in joining him in the lake of fire. Grin may you also recognize that by hurting other people, adopting a malicious mind, envying other people's success or acting out of pure insecurity...you show clearly that you are definitely NOT part of God's people. when you're done researching about your own doctrines and horrified enough with what you will certainly find out, then we at the iglesia ni cristo, invite you to attend our worship services. peace!

zunshynn Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 [quote]of course, it is pointless to argue with you people because in your church services, you hardly open the bible.[/quote] Right... four contextual readings every sunday and three on weekdays is definitely hardly opening the Bible.

Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 ohh yeah and how the hell does a cruxifix mock the death and passion of our Lord? it shows that we know what he did for us. IT was the greatest act of kindness and selflessness to die for the forgivness of sins of the world. Christ is so heavy because he bears the weight of the world.

[right][snapback]633910[/snapback][/right] [/quote] i know what you mean when i am at school i am alone in my faith. that is the oddest feeling i come from a very Catholic city and to go somewhere where in a Religion class i have been told i was going to Hell is the worst feeling in the world. i honstly have no idea how i have become so strong in my faith either. i just have prayer is a big part of it but i have come to realize that God gave me the strength to deal with all the hecklers and the haters. my biggest thing is when The Passion came out i was alot more emotional at some parts b/c of the hecklers and the haters. i have lost dates b/c the guy finds out i am a very strong Catholic and will not change so they dump me telling me that we are unequally yoked. it hurts to have to sit at home on a saturday night when you at college b/c there is no one that really wants to befriend you too close b/c of religious beliefs. last time i checked we were all Chistians, but some where along the line some people have lost that important fact. they hate what they do not understand!

Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 thats horribile that someone would treat you differently beacause of your relegion... i may not agree with protestantism but im not going to look down on someone because that is what they chose....

WCC_Catholic Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 that is how i feel. i have friend who turned her back on her faith b/c of the treatment she got from others,while i have gotten stronger. God has a funny way of making us stronger if we obey and pray. i have tried every year to start an interfaith group and have always been voted down being told that the BSU is enough for other faiths. and when i try to start a Catholic group i get hate mail and hate phone calls and have been told that i would never get anythign like that approved and they have been right but i have one more year to try!

Ash Wednesday Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Venerate stones? That's a new one. If anyone asks, Catholics cross themselves when passing a Catholic church because they are paying their respects to the Blessed Sacrament present there. [quote]we worship God Almighty on our own terms [/quote] They sure do! :tiphat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCC_Catholic Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 thanks! i have learned to live with it. the sad thing is that when i am at home i choose not to answer the house phone which drives my fam crazy b/c i am so use to getting people telling me i am goin to burn in hell that i choose to screen my calls!
