    Iglesia ni Cristo (Tagalog for Church of Christ)

    They absolutely are a cult. Totally creepy. they teach that their founder is God's final prophet, So they're kind of like a weird hybrid Mormon/Muslim Filipino knock-off cult :ahah: We have cards that act as attendance cards because we value our worship services Block voting - this is right...

    Some of these historical events you mentioned are true. Cult is what cult does, isn't it? If having a charismatic leader is the definition of a cult, well becha-by-golly we are a cult! Include these religions as cults to because they have charismatic leaders, like: List of 21st-century religious...

    You're welcome. However I just lifted the whole thing from the bible. It's English my Mormon friend. Sometime in the 1900's the Americans invaded the Philippines and became a colony. During those times they imparted the English language. Thomasites - Wikipedia They loved the place and they...

    Non-LDS scholar Donald C. Fleming agrees: "the dead know nothing: the context (or one look at a corpse) makes the meaning obvious." (F. F. Bruce, The International Bible Commentary, p. 699). That is right, that is what I believe. A human being is composed of the following, and this is based on...

    What is sad is the reality that no one could ever do something for the dead. I have dead relatives too, my mother who really cared for her children. I have loving grandparents, I wish I could do something for them but the thing is they have no further reward, as Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 says. Even...

    As in Baptism of the Dead really work? What does the bible say about this? Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 New International Version (NIV) Anyone who is among the living has hope—even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they...

    :ahah: and eggs We have the Lord Supper annually. To us we value this because it is the time we renew our covenant with Christ, to be judged by my Lord Jesus. That is why others are expelled or just left the Church because Christ has already passed judgement.

    We do not celebrate, we remember his suffering and resurrection. What we have yearly is the Holy Supper. Luke 22:19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same way...

    What comes close? East-er Old English Eōstre continues into modern English as Easter and derives from Proto-Germanic *austrōn meaning 'dawn', itself a descendent of the Proto-Indo-Europeanroot *aus-, meaning 'to shine' (modern English east also derives from this root) Pascha, Passover are so...

    I reject Easter. Told you my dear @withwonderingawe to open any encyclopedia to find out.

    Its like watching a tidy Passions of the Christ of Mel Gibson. So tidy that the depiction of your Jesus bled a little. Then your President said Easter is true - now that is what you should find out. Open your encyclopedia because Easter is not something that you can find in the bible.

    Seen the videos. I hope you don't subscribe to the idea that Jesus is a Caucasian hippie. But that is for art's sake. Sure you don't have eggs and bunnies but still you celebrate Easter - which you don't even know its origins why Easter is celebrated by other so called Christians. The guy in...
