Mr Lee Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 This should be interesting. Mystery Deepens in Ghost Town Bought for $800,000The church, which translates in the Tagalog language to "Church of Christ," has been steadily spreading west since it was founded in the Philippines by Felix Manalo, a former minister of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church who experienced what he claimed to be a call similar to those of ancient prophets. He died in 1963. Often described as one of the fastest-spreading international religions, its foothold in the Philippines grew from about 1.4 million followers in 1990 to 1.7 million in 2000, according to the 2011 figures released by the National Statistics Office in Manila. Iglesia ni Cristo rejects the Christian doctrine of trinity and believes Christ is one of several prophets. The church is focused on the end times, believes Manalo is a prophet and considers the Catholic Church apostate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
