Published by The author would like to give the readers a panorama of what is Central in Apalit and Central in Diliman:
-
Central in Apalit of the Ang Dating Daan (ADD)
This is the Convention Center of the Members Church of God International (MCGI), popularly known as Ang Dating Daan (ADD). It is the place where they hold Thanksgiving to God, various activities and very important events in their congregation. The Presiding Minister of MCGI is Bro. Eliseo F. Soriano and the Vice-Presiding Minister is Bro. Daniel S. Razon. It is located in the heart of the Municipality of Apalit, Pampanga, where majority of the residents of this place are poor families.
-
Central in Diliman of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC)
This is the Central Office of the Church of Manalo, popularly known as Iglesia ni Cristo (INC). The owners of this Church are the Manalo family, a corporation sole, now headed by Mr. Eranio Manalo. It is located in Diliman, along Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, where majority of the residents of this place are rich, educated, famous politicians and businessmen as shown by the facts in the records of the Mayor’s Office of Quezon City, called as the wealthiest City in the Philippines for having the highest collection of taxes.
Definition of Terms
-
Apalit
A word idem sonans or same sounding with “Up-A-Lit”. “Up” means of a high level or heavenly as people points their fingers up, whenever they want to declare something higher/heavenly. “A-Lit” is “a light”, connotes brightness related to heaven or heavenly bodies like the sun, moon and the stars and the shining armor of God.
-
Diliman
This is taken from the root word “dilim”, a Tagalog or Pilipino term referring to darkness/night. Diliman means in English as dark place or place of darkness. Darkness is descriptive of a place where there is no light but total darkness.
The Theory
Having defined the significant terms of this article, we can now explore in our minds supported with the succeeding facts and circumstances how this author arrived at the theory that the places where the two “Centrals” of two opposing religious organizations, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) or popularly known as “Ang Dating Daan” (ADD), in english The Old Path (TOP) and the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), in this end times where situated, are not just a coincidence but preordained.
Facts and Circumstances
These two religious organizations are exactly opposite from each other in many ways, such that, one can be accepted as “from the light” and the other one as “from darkness.” As the succeeding facts and circumstances will be presented to the readers, we will use ADD and INC to shorten the presentation as we go further in our discussions. To enumerate the basis of this author, among others, the following are the most apparent and pragmatic comparison based on notorious facts, actual research, interviews and observations, to wit:
God vs. Man
The Central in Diliman, INC for short, believes that Jesus Christ is just a man. On the other hand, the Central in Apalit, ADD for short, believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, thus, Jesus is a God and not just a man.
Physical vs. Spiritual Lavishness
Apparently, the INC is wealthy as manifested by their luxurious and grandiose places of worship and residential buildings for free occupancy by their workers and church officers not to mention the sumptuous palace where the Manalo’s are comfortably residing and not that visible to the public view
On the other hand, the ADD place of worship is an unfinished building or edifice. For a long time already, it remains unfinished due to scarcity of funds. Their Locales or places of worship are mere rented humble spaces, comparable during the times of Jesus Christ where in order to meet the apostles and their followers, most of the times they gather in rented spaces or even just stay outside, under the heat of the sun because they have no money and permanent places to go or lay their heads.
Holy Supper
The INC celebrates their Holy Supper in the morning, whereas, ADD celebrates theirs in the evening, as to what the word supper connotes which should be after dusk or after sunset or end of the day and as what the Scriptures dictates
Treatment for Non-members
The INC believes that non-members of their church are already destined or bound to go to hell. Whereas, the ADD believes that non-members are dependent for the mercy of God’s justice. Thus, they are not necessarily bound to go to hell but will still have hope for God’s mercy.
Characters of members
In the INC, once a person becomes a member, they stop being merciful, instead their characters are worsened, becomes more proud, cruel and unsympathetic. However, in the ADD group, once a person becomes a member, they become merciful, charitable and reformed true Christian, in words and in deeds.
Killing for the Church vs. Dying for the Church
Records show that there are lots of cases decided by the Supreme Court and published in the broadsheets, tabloids or local newspapers showing that some members and ministers of the INC are killing and committing various heinous crimes, harassments and persecutions against non-members of their church, including ADD workers and members. However, the ADD members and ministers are the ones being killed or murdered, harassed, persecuted and even exiled because of plots to kill and always encounters danger to their lives and limbs where the INC executioners are determined to do harm to the brethren of the ADD group.
Rich vs. Poor
The Central in Diliman is a very wealthy organization which can be likened to Egypt in the times of Moses, while the Central in Apalit is a very poor organization with so many debts and obligations to finance their propagation by spreading the Words of God through the media and Bible Expositions. Almost 99% of the membership of the CGI comes from the poorest of the poor, reminiscent of the Israelites, the slaves of the Egyptians before, but they are the chosen ones of God.
Buildings and structures of worship of the INC are so lavish and extravagant. On the other hand, the ADD group is so modest, likened during the times of Jesus Christ holding their meetings and church activities in humble edifices and rented places, or even in the streets.
“Beso-beso” vs. Holy Kiss
INC believes that the Holy Kiss is “beso-beso”, kissing by touching, either cheek to cheek or even with a hug or body touch. Whereas, ADD believes that the Holy Kiss is not physical but spiritual. A greeting of brotherly love where a Christian can even send his Holy Kiss to a fellow Christian, beyond borders and worldwide.
Influential vs. Insignificant
INC group is very influential and powerful to the extent of controlling the government and politicians, from the President down to the lowly policemen and rank and file government employees. On the other hand, ADD group is often treated unfairly because of their poverty and religious beliefs, their human rights are time and again violated, they are experiencing harassments and persecutions because of the dictates and insinuations of the leaders of the INC group, by using their influence, money and power. The ADD Ministers and Workers are often brought into courts to answer false and capricious accusations as it is very easy for the INC group to exercise influence peddling by using their wealth merely to persecute and harass the ADD group.
Visibility vs. Non-visibility
Leaders of the INC are not visible to the public and even to their members, whereas, the leaders of the ADD are always out and on the go, helping people physically and spiritually, propagating the Words of God, the reason why they are being haunted by the executioners of the INC for the fear of the latter, due to the dwindling or diminishing number of membership compared to the phenomenal increase of membership of the former
DEC (Decreasing) vs. ADD (Increasing)
The number of membership in the INC is apparently decreasing, hence INC is more fitting either for the word “Incomplete” or DEC for decreasing, on the other hand, the number of membership in ADD, the increase is phenomenal or extraordinary, a manifestation of divine guidance outside mere human efforts. Recently, while the ADD is gaining huge numbers of membership through mass indoctrination worldwide, baptizing thousands of new true Christians, the INC, is again at the exact opposite. In fact currently, they baptized a measly four (4) individuals in a mass indoctrination, and they were very much proud of it already.
Conclusion
Now therefore, if you have eyes, ears and other senses working, it is now high time to open it widely, then, determine for yourselves within reason that the existence in this end times of these two ever contrasting organizations, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) versus the Iglesia Ni Cristo ni Manalo (INCM), are not indeed a coincidence but strongly pre-ordained.
Take heed therefore people of the Philippines and be aware of the phenomenon in religion where this beautiful country was blessed to have been chosen by God to bear the true religion. Notwithstanding, the fact that the religion coming from darkness was also given birth here, in order to strengthen and fortify the similarity of occurrences and events that has already happened during the times of Adam and Eve and also the times of Moses, where both good and evil dwells in one place as well, where evil tries to devour the good men, but still frustratingly ended up grinding its teeth because they cannot thrive.
Be astute therefore, dear readers. It is now the peak time to exercise your intelligent judgments, and not just to sit there and prevaricate but with discernment, settle to come up with an evaluation and certitude. God Bless.
Kawawa naman mga member ng INM na nagcocoment d2, di kc cla kaya ipagtanggol ni manalo kaya cla na lang nagtatanggol sa mamamatay tao nilang iglesia…. Kawawa…

DIFFERNCE !!!
to ampalaya plantation:
your comment shows you’ve been brainwashed. I challenge you first since you recommended on asking your ministers so everyone will be enlightened.Ask this question to your pastors:
1. Bakit kailangan pa’ng kayo ay mamahayag gayong sinabi na ni Erano Manalo na SINTENSYADO NA SA APOY, sa demonyo, ang nasa labas ng INC? It doesn’t make sense, di bale sana kung sisentensyahan pa lang siguro pwede pa. Ibig ba sabihin pag may naanib sa inyo e may kapatid na kayong demonyo? Yung apat ba na bagong anib ay galing sa impyerno?Think…think…think…think…….
2. Ang ibinoto nyo noong nakaraang halalan ay hindi nyo kapatid, samakatuwid ay demonyo. Pumapayag si manalo na iboto nyo ang demonyo?, na kapag hindi iboto ng miyembro ang demonyong iniindorso ni manalo ay ititiwalag? Isip…isip…isip… Your mind is like a parachute: it works when it’s open.
3. This third question is supported by documented facts, just be resourceful and you can find one. Sino ang nag-ordina kay Felix Manalo para maging pangunahing puno ng INC? hindi ba ang mga paring protestante, katoliko, sabadista, etc… na tinatawag nyong sa demonyo? A very good conclusion: Demonyo ang nag-ordina kay Felix Manalo para manguna. Isip ulit…….sige pa….basta isipin mo lang….
4. You recommended on reading your publication (Pasugo). There was once an issue saying si Felix Manalo ang huling sugo at pagkatapos nito ay ang paghuhukom na. Then who is Erano and what is he doing? Sino ang nagsugo sa kanya para manguna sa inyo? Kapag sinabing HULI NA, may kasunod pa ba? Anjan ka pa ba?
5. This is my last question: How can somebody become a GENUINE member in your church? Please give me the exact detail so that just in case if you are right then somebody who can read this piece can be enlightened.This is critical since outside your church is damned in hell (as what your doctrine says).
I’ll be around and will wait for your reply. I can even send you the documented facts of the above-mentioned queries if you wish-straight from the horse’s mouth, and all of these is IN SERVICE TO HUMANITY… good luck.
albert

Mahiya ka hoy sa balat mo di mo alam sinasabi mo, sino bang nagdemanda kay Bro. Eli di rin ba yung mga ministro nyo? ginamit ang baklang natiwalag sa ADD na si Daniel Veridiano na pinulot ng puno nyo para ipanira daw kay Bro. Eli… lahat naman ng paraan ginagawa ng lider ninyo para pasamain si Bro.Eli… yang baklang si Daniel Veridiano alias Puto for your info natiwalag dahil nagmolestiya ng mahigit 18 kabataan, ginagamit ang pera ng pamunuan sa pansariling kalayawan… at ng matiwalag kumapit na sa patalim ng demonyo…
Imbestigahan mo muna ang mga SUGO mo kung anong klaseng tao sila!!!!!!!!
Itanong mo sa mga ministro nyo kung totoong nangrape ng buntis si Eranio Manalo… nagulat ka noh… hindi pa yan…
Itanong mo rin kung anong ikinamatay ng inyong huling SUGO… na si FELIX MANALO… kung sasabihin nila sayo ang totoo… swerti mo baka isunod ka nila sa hukay hehehe…
Yan palang SUGO nyo napakatakaw sa babae… kaya pala namatay natyempo siguro sa isang babaeng bayaran… hehehe
hindi lang yun ah… ginagawa palang parausan ang Central Diliman sa iba’t ibang babae… yung isang babae nakituloy lang sa Central kaDiliman este Diliman dahil walang matuluyan…
Pinagtripan agad… ng ayaw pumayag nung si Rosita Trillanes binugbog siya at nawalan ng malay atsaka na hinalay ni SUGO yung babae… miyembro nila itong si Rosita… sobrang libog nitong SUGO nilang ito… nakarekord yan sa pahayagan…
Kaya kayong mga miyembro ng samahang yan… MAG-ISIP ISIP na kayo bago mahuli ang lahat… magsuri kayo sa internet tingnan niyo kung totoo at magtanong kayo sa mga ministro ninyong bayaran… HUWAG KAYONG MAGING BULAG SA KATOTOHANAN upang kayoy maligtas…
sana ang susunod ninyong PUNO na si EDUARDO MANALO kaya ng ipagtanggol doktrina ninyong mali-mali… hindi yung ginagamit ang impluwensya sa gubyerno para mang-api sa mga tumutuligsa sa inyo… SAWAYIN NAWA KAYO NG PANGINOON kayong mga kampon ng kaDILIMAN…
ALBERT,
1. ANG IGLESIA NI CRISTO AY TINUBOS NIYA NG KANYANG DUGO UPANG MALIGTAS ITO SA PARUSA SA ARAW NG PAGHUHUKOM. KUNG NASA LABAS KA NG IGLESIA, HINDI KA KASALI SA MGA TINUBOS NIYA…KUNG PUMASOK KA, KASAMA KA NA DAHIL BAHAGI KA NA NG IGLESIA…BEFORE YOU ENTER THE CHURCH, YOU WILL BE BAPTIZED FIRST…THIS WAY, MALILINIS KA SA MGA KASALANAN MO SO MALINIS KA PAGPASOK MO SA IGLESIA…so, wlang demonyong nakakapasok sa iglesia…DAHIL MALILINIS KA MUNA BAGO KA PA PUMASOK SA IGLESIA…DI HINDI KA DEMONYO…TSK.TSK.DI MO NAISIP YUN? THINK.THINK.THINK.
2. SABI SA BIBLE, PASAKOP KAYO SA MGA NAMAMAHALA SA INYO…KASAMA NA GOBYERNO DUN…BOBOTO KAMI DAHIL BAHAGI YUN NG PAGPAPASAKOP SA PAMAHALAAN…KUNG HINDI NAMAN MAGIGING HADLANG SA MGA SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES NAMIN ANG PAMAHALAAN, WALANG DAHILAN PARA HINDI MAGPASAKOP DITO…OKAY?..THINK.THINK.THINK.THINK.AT MADAMI PA.
3.HE HAD BEEN ONCE A MINISTER OF OTHER CHURCHES BEFORE HE FOUNDED THE CHURCH OF CHRIST…HE HAD BEEN ORDAINED IN THOSE CHURCHES…NO PERSON ORDAINED HIM TO LEAD THE CHURCH BUT GOD HIMSELF.
(IKAW BA, MAGPAPAORDINA KA SA MGA TAONG ALAM MONG KASALUNGAT MO NG TURO…IREREVEAL MO NGA ANG MGA MALING ARAL NILA TAPOS SA KANILA KA MAGHIHINGI NG RIGHT TO PREACH?…THINK.THINK.THINK.THINK.DAMIHAN MO PA NG “THINK”…BASTA ISIPIN MO LANG…)
DAHIL RESOURCEFUL KA LIKE WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO SAY, GIVE ME A LINK OF TITLE OF THE BOOK OR WHATEVER THAT IS WHERE YOU GOT THAT “FACT”…I COULDN’T FIND IT…OR MAYBE IT’S JUST N0N-EXISTING…OR BAKA MERON NGA PERO DI KO LANG MAHANAP…KAYA SIGE, BIGAY MO…:)
4. ANG KULIT MO…WALA KANG ALAM NAMN PALA DITO…ANG HULING SUGO AY ANG MULING NAGTATAG NG HULING IGLESIA(UNANG IGLESIA ANG BAYANG ISRAEL, TAPOS KAMI NA YUNG HULI, AFTER NITO, PAGHUHUKOM NA..OKAY?)…SI KA ERDY AY HINDI SUGO KUNDI TAGAPAMAHALANG PANGKALAHATAN…NAMAMAHALA, GABAY,LEADER, WALA NAMANG SINABING SUGO…ANG PAMAMAHALA SA IGLESIA AY INIHABILIN SA KANYA NI KA FELIX…IKAW NA RIN NAGSABI–”HULI”–NATURAL WALANG KASUNOD…MAG-ISIP KA ULI…
5. PADOKTRINA KA…IF YOU FINISH THE INDOCTRINATION COURSE (IT’S ABOUT THE BASIC STUFF THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CHURCH), YOU WILL HAVE TO ATTEND THE WORSHIP SERVICES FOR MANY MONTHS TO SEE IF YOU’RE REALLY INTO IT…IF YOU PASS THIS, YOU’LL BE TESTED AGAIN IF THE DOCTRINES HAVE REALLY GOTTEN INTO YOU…IF YOU PASS THIS, THEN YOU’RE READY FOR BAPTISM…(THAT THING I MENTIONED IN NUMBER 1)
BUT IT DOESN’T REALLY END THERE…BECAUSE TO BE A GENUINE MEMBER OF THE CHURCH, YOU HAVE TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE TEACHINGS IN THE BIBLE…THEN YOU CAN CALL YOURSELF A TRUE MEMBER OF THE CHURCH…
OKAY?

TO AMPALAYA:
Napakapait naman ng kapalaran mo di mo alam papunta kayo sa impyerno, pasakop daw sa namimimuno sa gubyerno kaya sila bumoboto ng pinili ng PINUNO nila… wala sa bible yun noh… wala kayong sariling pag-iisip pagdating sa pulitika e paano kung nagbayad lang pala ang pulitikong napili ng puno ninyo… iboboto nyo pa rin ba yun????
Alam mo ang Iglesia ni Cristo wala sa bibliya alam mo ba yun… sa Lamsa bible lang mababasa yun mali pa ang pagkakasalin kung pagbabasehan mo ang matatandang mga salin… manapay makikita mo dun ang Iglesia ng Panginoon o Iglesia ng Dios dahil yun talaga ang tinubos ng sariling dugo ni Kristo… atsaka for your information hindi nagtutubos ng mamamatay-tao ang Kristo ng bibliya, lalo na sa mga duwag, sinungaling, tulisan (pati kapilya) hanggat hindi nagbabago ang mga ito… Apoc. 21:8
Buti pang sinabi mong ang pumasok sa Iglesia ni Manalo walang ligtas sa impyerno mas totoo pa ayon sa bibliya… hehehe
ADD at INC ang dami nyong abuluyan at so called tulungan. Pero hindi naman kayo transparent sa mga miembro nyo. Panalangin ko sa DIOS na sana MAGISING na ang miembro nyo sa katotohanan.
Wala naman kayong pinagkaiba sa isat isa. Puro lang kayo “collection” ng pera sa kawawang mga miembro nyo.
lols, galing sa kathang isip ng mga ADD, kung saan-saan nalang nagsisipagtago. ha ha ha..para sa akin ang pinakamadilim na akatotohanan yung
1.identity crisis ni EFS that leads him to commit crimes, rape sa kaparehong kasarian
2.mangangaral na nagtatago sa batas.
3.patong-patong na kaso ng estafa
4.paninirang puri sa ibang relihiyon re: muslim.
5.pagtutungayaw.
6.pagpasok sa pulitika.
7.pagiging bulag at bingi ng mga ADD members.
FACTS:
1.apalit central office of ADD is built without necessary permit/s.
2.they illegally interred remains in the said place.
3.nobody in that place can talk nor defend EFS example ABS CBN & GMA expose.
4.apalit central office is locked by the authorities due to lack of requirements.
marami pa po sana akong ibig na ibahagi, kaya lang kailangan ko nang magtrabaho kaya sa susunod nalang po.
natatawa ako kung paano nila ginawan ng paliwanag ang APALIT ha ha ha, pikit matang tinatanggap ang mga kabulaan na pilit na itinatanim sa kanila ni EFS.
tungkol naman dun sa last comment na si freelance, yung hindi transparent makikita yan sa ADD.
manood ka sa NET25 or GEM para makita mo hinahanap mo. tumingin ka sa paligid mo ilang kapilya meron ang IGLESIA NI CRISTO sa buong mundo o kahit na sa Pilipinas lang, nakayanggap ka na ba ng PASUGO, leaflets at iba pang materials galing sa INC members?.
gising po kami sa katotohanan at sana magising ka na rin.
To Alien,
Alien ka talaga!!! di mo alam ang nangyayari sa lupa. Mamulat ka sana sa katotohanan na all-out ang Iglesia Ni Manalo na siraan si Bro Eli. Sa korte sila nagsibaling kasi di kaya humarap sa aral ang sugo niyo. Sabagay kahit KNC ng Dating Daan, di uubra yung sugo niyo kung mag-uusap tungkol sa aral ng biblia. Tandaan mo, halos lahat ng imbentong kaso laban ke Bro Eli ay INC ang complainant..Hehehe.. Lakas niyo sa gobierno tsong!! Sabagay okey lang yan, kasi may paghuhukom naman. Yari yang Mga Manalong sugo na yan, at kayo rin kung mananatili pa kayo diyan.. Gayahin mo ako, loobin sana na maging X’man ka rin. Maawa ka sa kaluluwa mo.
