To know about the humble beginnings
of Iglesia ni Cristo, it is
inevitable to learn about the man who started it all – from one man to the
phenomenal growth of the church worldwide.
The movie depicts how Brother Felix
Manalo received the calling and the
humble beginnings of the church – the hardships and persecutions he has
encountered as well as the event of world war that disturbed the country.
We as members of the ‘Church of Christ’ recognizes Bro. Felix
as the God’s Messenger on these Last Days
(according to the Holy Scriptures refers to the era where our Lord Jesus
Christ’s advent is very near). He had been a pastor from different religions
which gave him the chance to deeply examine each church doctrine which he later
found out FULL OF ERRORS and misconceptions.
Seeing the conflicting doctrines upheld in each from what is written in
the Holy Scriptures, the arduous desire to teach the FACTS without injecting
personal opinions and beliefs has led him to know the PURE words of God but of
course with God’s divine help as he prayed for enlightenment and guidance.
Although his co-pastors/preachers
from former religions oppressed him when he tried to reveal what he found out
to rectify what they had been teaching the public, he was subdued and they
never accepted it – telling him that the doctrines can not be modified
respecting tradition and inherited teachings from pioneer religious leaders.
He
had taken criticisms a challenge to make room for improvement and succeed. Like
when a pastor told him that the church he has
unless duly registered in the government is a bogus church – he has taken it to heart and applied to register the
church in the Philippines. A lawyer (spouse of his friend) helped him. Those two men are instrumented by God to help
Bro. Felix establish a bona fide church. He worked on the paper for weeks (many
reasons it was not registered earlier although the papers are submitted), maybe
God has destined the Church’s registration date be simultaneously stamped on
July 27, 1914 – the date at which the first World War occurred as written in
the History Books. And if you are going to listen to the fundamental doctrines
of the Church evidencing the emergence of the true Church in our times, it is
prophesied. The signs stated in the Holy Bible clearly pointed to the Iglesia ni Cristo the date, the place
and the God’s messenger.
