Iglesia ni Cristo members avoid eating dinuguan because it contains blood, which they consider impure and against their religious beliefs. They follow dietary guidelines as a way of expressing their faith and maintaining a spiritual connection to God.

They do not believe in the holy trinity because they assert that the concept is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible. Instead, they emphasize the distinctiveness of God the Father as the only one true God.

To the Christians, the apostles exhort them that “they must not eat any food that has been offered to idols, or any blood, or any animal that has been strangled.” Thus, God’s prohibition in eating blood or food mixed with blood continues up to our time. The Bible explicitly tells us that breaking God’s law is a sin:
“Whoever sins is guilty of breaking God's law, because sin is a breaking of the law.” (I John 3:4 TEV)
Because God's prohibition in eating blood or food mixed with blood continues up to our time; thus, those who eats blood or food mixed with blood committed sin against God.
Therefore, in obedience to God, members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) abstain from eating blood or any food mixed with blood.
