if a religion praises other God that is a cult
When our Pope visit phils. INC minister told their followers that the catholic POPE is the 3rd coming of the Anti Christ... eh pani mangyayari un Jesus Christ ang sinasamba ng mga catholic not unlike INC na Tao ang sinasamba.
hoy mga INC people meron na inutos sa inyo ang mga ministro nyo na bawal kyo sumagot s mga blog diba? kasi baka magising kayo sa katotohanan![emoji48][emoji48][emoji48]
ang dapata tawag sa inyo ay "Iglesia ni HUDAS"[emoji48][emoji48][emoji48]
PI mga INC. nung meron calamity sa tacloban na binaha madami tao kumakatok sa simbahan nila dahil mataas ito. ano ginawa ng mga INC sa tacloban hindi pinapasok at pinanood pano malunod mga tao sa labas. ang sagot ng INC dun eh sagrado daw ang simbahan nila at bawal pumasok pag madumi ang tao dahil mabababoy sumbahan nila.
ang catholic church kahit sino ang kumatok at kailangan ng tulong eh tinutulungan. then INC called their church "iglesia ni Cristo"? or should we called them " Iglesia ni Hudas"[emoji33][emoji48]
Somewhat true, too much praise or shouting "To God be the glory" also turns off God. I mean he is the supreme being, it's already a given than he is superior so why would he care so much wanting gratitude or affection from us,
If that is the case, then he is human because Humans need affection, need to appreciated for the things done, , Some may argue. He is our image and likeness so naturally he would want to be appreciated for the things he had given us. Also true. But not to the point that you just waste all your life praying or praising God and then sit there all day avoiding challenges in your life and denying your unique gifts or capabilities.
We were put here for a test, what is the test for, we don't really exactly know hence we spend our lifetime testing ourselves for answers to the satisfaction of our inner beings.
Is it a life greatness (kings and heroes), is it a life career success (modern day financial accumulation, or it is just plain vow of poverty (happy and blessed for the things we still have)? I think not because so many have accomplished this throughout history and yet they died empty.
Most people actively participate in a Church (or a cult-like community), because they lack one of Maslow's need heirarchy - belongingness. Belongingness that they haven't felt in a family or company they work for, some find genuine belongingness in a brotherhood / sisterhood like for example a special forces group or cooking housewives group,
But belongingness is just a mid-level in the need pyramid so we shouldn't stop there,
They are a minority, but they can cause this mayhem...

This maybe the real cause of what's happening to their community, Just like the Arab spring in the Middle East wherein closed religions are getting affected by social media. Regimes have already fallen in the Middle East conflict, The younger ones are having doubts because they find the teachings outdated.
This is now a domino problem because right now, even our own Catholic Church is facing the same problem. I mean how can the Vatican accept a resignation of a pope in exchange for an appeasement Pope who BTW is Jesuit but would rather take the name Francis - the symbol of humility of the Franciscan Order,
A Pope is the vicar of Christ. A Pope is a pope for life until death and yet we retired the German Pope because he followed the doctrines to the letter. He made enemies and the Vatican is being attached from all sides. the new Pope is friendlier but already issued some controversial comments about marriage etc,
Every community 's survival highly depends on the recruitment of new followers, or members, But sad to say the Millenials (gen y) or the upcoming Gen z (2020) are proving to be hard to recruit, somehow they have a mind of their own now. Changed by iPads and smartphones, or the so-called instant information that is being facilitated by the Internet,
Maybe we are seeing the demise of religions. So be very very concerned ..
Yes and No. If all people are as educated and as peace-loving as you, then we can very much get rid of religion.
But we all know that is not true. Some are more hot tempered than others, some have less patience than others, remove the fear of supernatural being from them and they will create chaos if challenged.
In this case, if INC crumbles, then we have 2.7M Filipinos who are lost and confused,
When you are lost or confused, you just don't turn up good and energized the next day like it's some bad last full show movie. That's why we should be concerned about this event. corruption allegation is only about money, Money can be replaced, a lost flock can do more damage in the long run not only among themselves but to our society as well,
So it's imperative to pray for them for guidance from God. It's not as if they will return to the Catholic fold like nothing happened after years of being told that our doctrines are wrong
di naman masama pero hwag lang magpapaloko sa religion. may ilang religion dyan ay nangloloko lang. pa allien allien lang kita na. pansin ko sa mga 3rd world countries mas maraming sumasamba sa religion vs 1st world
how about those scientists who study the universe or astrology??
