Twice a week
worship service |
ONCE A WEEK, our religious congregation holds a fellowship which
I believe is the counterpart of your worship service. I learned
from my officemate who is a member of your Church that you
attend such gathering twice a week. Why does your Church hold
two worship services weekly? Is it not going beyond what is
taught in the Bible?

On the observance of
Sabbath day |
I UNDERSTAND that the founder
of the used to be a Seventh-day
Adventist, which means he understood
the importance of observing the Sabbath from
the standpoint of an Adventist. Can you please explain to me
why he did not include Sabbath observance as a part of the practices
of INC members?

Proper
attire in worship services |
I HAVE ATTENDED Iglesia ni Cristo Bible seminars
and worship services here in Dubai several times. I
noticed that you do not pray "The Lord's Prayer". . .
. . . . Also, does God prescribe a particular outfit
for His worshipers? What if one is not financially
capable of buying a decent dress, can't he be allowed to
attend the worship service? Isn't prescribing a specific
attire for the worship service a form of prejudice?

Sitting apart |
I LIVE BY the motto "A family that prays together
stays together." So you can imagine my surprise when I attended your
worship service and I had to sit away from. my wife and daughter.
Why are men and women seated apart? Shouldn't families be
together when they worship?

Hymn singing
and the use of musical instruments |
I AM A minister of the Church of Christ in Dau,
Pampanga. I graduated from the Philippine Bible College in Baguio
City with a bachelor's degree in Theology.
As of now. I am confused as to the difference between the Church of
Christ and the Iglesia ni Cristo.
My question is: Is there a scriptural basis for the Iglesia ni
Cristo to use musical instruments in its worship services?

Sabbath days
are over |
I AM A Catholic who has attended the worship
services of different religious denominations.
I also read the Holy Scriptures.
In the Bible, specially in Exodus 20:8-9, it is stated that the
Sabbath should be remembered and kept holy. It is also stated in the
verse that for six days a man should work and on the seventh day he
should rest.
My question is this: Why is the Sabbath not observed anymore in our
time, the Christian era? Is the
non-observance of the Sabbath in our time based on the Bible?

Children's
worship service |
MY NEIGHBORS ARE Church of Christ members.
Every Sunday, I observe that their little children are dressed in
formal attire and attend to what they call Pagsamba ng Kabataan.
Unlike children in my religion, these children attend such Sunday
activity regularly and on time prescribed by your Church. Is this
Pagsamba ng Kabataan really necessary? I've heard from a
friend who is also a member of your church that all your doctrines
are anchored and based on the Bible. What is your biblical
basis for having this worship service for children?

Holy Supper
literal or not? |
ONE OF MY classmates in college told me that the
bread and wine mentioned by Christ during the Holy Supper are not
literal. He said Christ spoke spiritual words then and not literal.
He used the verses John 6:53 and 63 to support his point. I am
not very knowledgeable about the Bible, but I disagree with him.
I would like to ask you, is my classmate right in asserting that the
bread and wine in the Holy Supper are indeed not literal?
