Ang dating daan
Ang Dating Daan (The Old Path) is a controversial religious radio-television program in the Philippines produced by the Members Church of God International. The program is hosted by Brother Eliseo Soriano. The program started in 1983 as a 30-minute block timer in IBC Channel 13 with a shoe-string budget. At present, the program is aired live via satellite through the facilities of UHF Channel UN Television 37 and various radio stations such as RMN, DZRH and 100 Radyo Natin. While mainly broadcasting in filipino, some English language elements were added for foreign viewers, including “Truth in Focus”, “Biblically Speaking”, “How Authentic the Bible is”, and “Bible Guide”. It also features the use of multi-lingual and multi-dialectic translations of the Bible, the first and currently only such service in the Philippines.
Regarded as a cult by Catholic and Protestant denominations Philippines, Ang Dating Daan denies several doctrines held by orthodox Christian denominations, including the Trinity and salvation by grace through faith. It also frequently criticises another religion Iglesia ni Cristo, in what Brother Eli Soriano called "unchristian kind of spiritual warfare being introduced in the Iglesia ni Cristo program that only tends to muddle the real issues and deviate from the biblical truth."
