The Bible Inquirer(Church of God) is published by Alfredo F. Cartaño Jr. Started December 2005.He was first converted the day he read the Bible about 1986, through his brother's challenge that the Bible is the only basis of truth. He bacame a member of Born Again christians in Laguna Philippines, but he was not a baptized member( at that time a learner, or student).

In 1989 he subscribed to the Plain Truth magazine and proved that Herbert W. Armstrong had a good and bad points on his church, but different from all other existing congregation on the face of the earth.But Alfredo was baptized in Church of God, International wayback in December 1990 (one year in-depth study with the Church of God).Through Garner Ted Armstrong Ministry he learned many things. GTA explains where his Father deviated from the truth because of his(HWA) old age, such as wrong doctrines on divorce and re-marriage, church eras(finger pointing), passover, primacy of Peter and others.

Also about 1989-1992 he wrote with CGI Philippines about Christ being the firstborn of the Father and therefore same substance as God beings--superior from all created things! But the editorial sent him an article of one of CGI's tagalog article which did not answer his sharing of his discovery.This year perhaps the the same time brother William Dankenbring made his major articles on this subject, Alfredo thank Dankenbring for motivation on this articles, so he was appeared on 1989 Prophecy Flash letter thanking Dankenbring.

In 1992 Alfredo was raised by William Dankenbring's article(reading and comparing it) on improvement and also the late John W. Trescott of Anadarko Oklahoma's sharing of God's calendar.Also he learned from other churches of God ministry beside these two.

The Bible Inquirer is differ from other Church of God Ministry in its belief in Christ as the only born( the only direct production of God the Father)God, Christ is the FIRSTBORN from heaven(the creative Son) and on earth (as the first resurrected from the dead) among humans(dual applications). The Bible Inquirer also supports the understanding on New Year, that the the first day of the month marks the true biblical new year( on or after the vernal equinox).

The Bible Inquirer maybe the only Ministry who believed in Thursday crucifixion and Sabbath resurrection( AD 30) and believed on Passover and Pentecost just like the Judaism of our day. Alfredo came to conclude that Christ death and resurrection fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, that Christ fulfilled the 16th day of Nisan(a weekly Sabbath timing) of wave-sheaf offering. This solved his in-depth study on which day was the sabbath to count from. It is Christ-- the true messiah's sign (one of the sign) who will come.

Alfredo (the man behind the Bible Inquirer) now published his book on calendar.
