All religion is man made crap used to control people and rip them off. Charice jumped from one fire into another one but she is smart enough to focus on her family. The whole world would be better off if we all moved away from all these cults/religions based on the nosensical writings of barbaric middle eastern tribes. How so many continue to believe that some omnipotent being made up the cruelty and idiocy that compromise much of the bible and koran is beyond me. religion is a placebo; it works cause you think it should. wake up and take resonsibility for your own life.

Zontormasterof1, What you wrote are all falsities!!! There is a true religion and false religions!!! In fact, the most significant classification was that made by Jesus Christ. He classified religions into two by distinguishing between the religion that is of God and that which is not. He said: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." [Mt. 7:13, New International Version] The true religion is the way to God. Here, Christ mentions about the wide and the narrow gates in reference to religions. The wide gate or the broad road refers to religions that separate man from God and lead him to destruction. The small gate or narrow road refers to the true religion that leads man to God so that he would attain life. Unfortunately, only a few, according to the Lord Himself, find the way to God. Even more lamentable is the fact that others refuse to search for the narrow gate or the true religion that will lead man to Him. The religions that do not belong to God are those whose teachers teach false doctrines and do not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ [cf. I Tim. 6:3] and, therefore, pose danger to the life of man. Why Religions Multiply Man is a natural worshipper who always tries to find meaning into his existence. That meaning is found in his relationship with his Creator. His existence is valued in as much as he is able to serve God who created him. The problem, however, is that, in his attempts at searching for life's meaning and purpose, he stumbles into his private opinions and creates his personal way of worshipping God. The Bible says: "The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks in them will know peace." [Is. 59:8, NIV] This is the main reason for the increase in the number of religions or churches. With his religious zeal and interest in worshipping the Creator behind his actions, add to this his longing for God, man has established his own religions. There is no objection regarding the intentions and motives of people for this is written: "For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness." [Rom. 10:2-3, Ibid.] Apostle Paul attests to the devotion to God exhibited by these people. But, though they are deeply devoted to God, their devotions are not based on true knowledge. Unaware of the way in which God puts people right with Himself, they have tried to set up their own way and have not submitted to His righteousness. They have created their religions.

However, it is not man himself who is solely responsible for the proliferation of many religions on earth. Someone is behind the increase in the number of religions, the purpose of whom contradicts the purpose of God. This, Jesus Christ explained in a parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. "The owner's servants came to him and said, "Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?' "'An enemy did this', he replied. The servants asked him,'Do you want us to go and pull them up?''No', he answered,'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned, then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn'. "The he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said,'Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field'. "He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear'." [Mt. 13:24-31, 36-43, Ibid.] The parable explains why false religions continue to multiply in the world. The evil one is responsible for this, in his attempt to win people on his side and rally them against the true God. Even the Apostles warned the early Christians about the coming of the evil one with the intention to deceive people into believing that their religions are true. Apostle Paul said that the evil one would come "and use every kind of wicked deceit on those who will perish. They will perish becuase they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved. And so God sends the power of error to work in them so that they believe what is false. The result is that all who have not believed in the truth, but have taken pleasure in sin, will be condemned." [II Thess. 2:10-12, Today's English Version] To be continued... Real Elias Ibarra Guam This deception by the evil one will hardly be noticed by people. It will be very subtle. Unaware of the devil's scheme, people will hold on to the outward form of Christian religion, but respect its real power [cf. II Tim. 3:5]. Unaware of the dangers that such deception might bring they would even believe that they are on the right track. They will be duped into believing that their religions are of God. God, however, warns that, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" [Prov. 14:12, NIV]. To be continued... Real Elias Ibarra Guam |

The Only Way To God While others may stubbornly cling to the belief that all religions are good in that all of them do not teach anything wrong and that they are all of God, some find it fascinating to have a good number of churches to choose from. In as much as the true religion will bring man to God, let us try to inquire from Jesus Christ, how many true religions there are and which would lead man to God: "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." [Jn. 14:6, Ibid.] It is clear that there is only one way to God--Jesus Christ. This only means that there is only one true religion whose services are accpetable to God. This one true religion is the Church founded by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. It is the Church of Christ as introduced in the verses of the Bible [cf. Rom. 16:16; Acts 20:28, Lamsa]. This Church described by the Apostles as the body of Christ [cf. Col. 1:18], is an organized unit and is headed by Jesus Christ who is its head. And as to the number of true churches there are, the Bible testifies: "There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to one hope when you were called--one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." [Eph. 4:4-6, NIV] There is only one true Church founded by the Lord Jesus Christ. It is analogous to the human body so that it is a united whole--one organization. It is not fragmented but one unit. It is God's expressed will that Jesus be the head of the Church whose service and worship are acceptable to Him. Regarding this, the Apostles wrote: "And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fulness of him who fills everything in every way." [Eph. 1:22-23, Ibid.] Another reason why one should find the true Church has something to do with the Lord's promise to His Church. Jesus Christ said the following to Apostle Peter: "And so I tell you, Peter: you are a rock, and on this rock foundation, I will build my church, and not even death will ever be able to overcome it." {Mt. 16:18, TEV] Here, Christ did not promise the founding of a fragmented Church. He mentioned of building only one Church which not even death [the eternal punishment in the lake of fire on the day of Judgment] shall overcome. This Church, as it is an organized unit, is likened to a physical human body with many members but headed by Jesus Christ: "Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." [Rom. 12:4-5, NIV] God's Invitation To People Despite man's truning away from Him by joining false religions, God wants man to return to Him: "Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you', says the Lord Almighty." [Mal. 3:7, Ibid.] Man is, therefore, obliged to turn back to God. This, he could only do if he rejects the false religions and embraces the true one. Indeed, God. according to the Bible, wants man to seek for and join the true religion which is the only way to Him: "The Lord said to His people , "stand at the cross roads and look. Ask for the ancient paths and where the best road is. Walk in it, and you will live in peace'." [Jer. 6:16, TEV] Man, however, could not return to God without conscious efforts. Man should search and find the true Church. Unless he does this and finds the true Church, he will not be able to come into it and receive the promises that accompany membership in the Church of Christ. End. Real Elias Ibarra Guam |

Zontormasterof1, The Catholic drug lords contact in Florida is complaining!!! Most probably the U.S. Coast Guard is giving you a hard time!!! Are the Catholic bishops complaining already about the unfinished chapels??? The Iglesia Ni Cristo has done more than 10 already for the month of January 2012 alone and there are more chapels being readied for dedication!!! Why don't you just report the subtle connections of the Roman Catholic bishops to the drug lords of Central and Latin America??? That is much easier than defending a dysfunctional religion with its fake Holy Trinity and "ANGELS" who commit murders and pre-puberty rapes all over the world!!! Real Elias Ibarra Guam |

Atheist Lucy, Your evolution from the animals is proof enough that you are weak and desires to be strong!!! I don't need evolution because I came from a complete human being created by God and separate from the animals!!! I possess a soul while you and the animals don't and that is the big difference!!! And that is why salvation is intended for humans and not for the animals!!! Real Elias Ibarra Guam |

Bogs, Pagan Rome had long been gone in history!!! It did burn many centuries ago!!! And now most of what remains of it are borrowing from China!!! The glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome are now called the borrowers from China!!! And they are starting to burn again!!! While the Iglesia Ni Cristo is constructing hundreds of grandiose and beautiful chapels!!! Thus, in the final analysis, total victory goes only to the true Church of Christ!!!

Daily Horoscope for June 2
Sagittarius
You're feeling ultra optimistic today, which is great for summoning up the necessary energy to do what has to be done. But don't let it go to your head and convince you that you're capable of performing miracles. If you aren't behaving in this way you'll have to cope with someone who has a swollen head and thinks they're the cat's whiskers.
