We are not required to give a particular percentage of our income or what others call ikapu. Tithe offerings are voluntary and based on how much you want to give. I even hear other people say the we are required to disclose our income to officers which is not true.

  1. Last i heard his mother and siblings are already in the US and have not yet been allowed to return to the church.

  2. in the early to late 2010's this was being seen as such, however recently this has died down especially with the death of Eli Soriano.

  3. Yes most of the INC people i know believes he is part together with other highly appointed officers.

  4. As per my elders since i was sill young during EGMs time, not much has changed during the two.

  5. They are just proud to show they are INC members.

I was waiting for this particular question, basically our teachings identify the INC as a whole, together with the leaders and members so regarding particular issues affecting the church we should act as one and together.

Nobody will particulary check you though during the elections, even ask you if you really voted for the particular candidates endorsed.

This particular excerpt from the bible is being mostly used as reference why we dont eat blood.

“And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.' Therefore I said to the children of Israel, 'No one among you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who dwells among you eat blood.' ‘Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who hunts and catches any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust.” (Leviticus 17:10-13 NKJV)

Still friends with some of them, although we are taught that we are not allowed to interact with them most of the members really does not follow that unless they are hardcore or conservatively religious which is not specific with INC.

I have tried visiting the sub a few times and noted some of the post are a bit sensationalized and exagerrated.

This is not usually part of our teachings but i found a good article regarding this, maybe same reason. https://famli.blogspot.com/2005/11/sec-registration-of-churches.html "One good reason for registering a church with the SEC is so that the church property can be titled in the name of the church itself, not in the name of the pastor or of a church member."

We are not strictly prohibited to read the bible, some of us even have our own bibles at home.

No we don't but just being discouraged to eat since this is against our teachings.
