IS THE PRACTICE OF IGLESIA NI CRISTO FOUNDED BY FELIX MANALO OF NOT ALLOWING INC MEMBERS TO BE MARRIED WITH NON-BELIEVERS IN ACCORD WITH THE BIBLE?

St. Paul the Apostle

Father:

I want to ask some questions.

INC prohibit anullment however they allow to couples to be separated with each other instead of fixing the problems of the wife and the couple. Its ok for them that marriage to be put into separation if the other partner wants to stay in Roman Catholic.

Family is very important unit in the society. It is where values formation starts.

Is it there is consistency in the doctrine? How will the minister say "pagmamalasakit to every member" if they allow it to happen?
Is Iglesia ni Cristo the right religion?

I read it an KJV bible that it is not Church of Christ that appears there but Church of God, However, INC insist Church of Christ by using Lamsa Translation( protestant bible). They ministers used KJV as they reference on thier preaching. This means that KJV tells the truth and INC ministers are fooling a lot of people

THAT TEACHING OF IGLESIA NI CRISTO OF NOT PERMITTING AN INC MEMBER TO MARRY A NON-CATHOLIC IS TRULY ANTI-FAMILY, ANTI-HUMAN FREEDOM AND ANTI-BIBLE. WHY? BECAUSE THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO LET A BELIEVER BE MARRIED WITH A NON-BELIEVER AS LONG AS THEY RESPECT EACH OTHER.

ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE CLEARLY EXPLAINED IN IN HIS FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS:

1 Cor 7:12 To the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.

1 Cor 7:13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.

1 Cor 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is consecrated through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy.

1 Cor 7:15 But if the unbelieving partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

THAT IS WORD FOR WORD AND CATEGORICAL, DIRECT AND SPECIFIC ANSWER GIVEN BY ST. PAUL ABOUT THE MATTER. THAT PASSAGE OF THE SCRIPTURE IS CALLED "THE PAULINE PRIVILEGE". ST. PAUL TEACHES THAT A BELIEVER MARRIED TO A NON-BELIEVER MUST NOT SEPARATE UNLESS THEY WANT TO SEPARATE DUE TO EXTREME DIFFERENCES ON FAITH. THIS IS CONTRARY TO THE TEACHING OF THE MANALO WHO DISALLOWS THEIR MEMBERS TO BE MARRIED WITH A NON-INC MEMBER.

[Is Iglesia ni Cristo the right religion?]

NO, DEFINITELY NOT.

THAT IS TRUE. THE NEW TESTAMENT IS WRITTEN IN GREEK AND THE ORIGINAL GREEK LITERALLY STATES "CHURCH OF GOD" AND NOT CHURCH OF CHRIST. THEY ARE DISTORTING THE BIBLE WITH THE USE OF THE HIGHLY ERRONEOUS LAMSA TRANSLATION.
