Iglesia Ni Cristo 3 The Investigation

Ni Dr.Tino C. Ruivivar




The INC claims to be the only true Church of Christ on the earth. In fact. Felix Manalo taught that the true Gospel was lost for 1900 years until he restored it in July 1914. This is simply not biblical because the bible wasn’t all destroyed, and Mr. Manalo reads it and the true God will always leave a remnant. He may have read the bible, but how does he knows that his interpretations are correct. Always Remember, No to private interpretation, 2P1:20 And there arises the problem. I think we have committee for this, Pr11:14; 24:6.

Believe that Jesus being a man needed salvation also and saved himself by the merits of his own death, the same merits that saved others.

How can a man who needs salvation himself (at first) save himself by himself and mankind later. This definitely totally unbiblical. When did the true Christ ever needing salvalvation . The answer of course is that the anointed one is a human being. If that is their definition of anointed one, he is like King Cyrus who is anointed of God himself.


Members of the INC are told that they cannot understand the Bible without the aid of the Church, which is headed by the messenger who is at present, Erano Manalo. This is simply not true, you may need a brethren to guide you but he is help by the holy spirit, Jn14:17; 15:26; 16:13 Eph1:13and still you need to try him, 1Jn4:1and to distinguish, 1Jn4:6

Christ should be highly honored and worshiped by members of the Church of Christ because this is the will of God (Phil.2:9-11).unclear biblically. This verses you quoted have been misinterpreted to mean that, do not in any way teach about or prove the alleged to worship special man Christ. He could be Paul, Apollos, even Timothy. This verse implies he is a Son of God to be worship If I am following you, You will from age to age to come will say, We do not worship any man except one. I think you’re already doing that. According to the INC, God made a special man, and prevented or protects him from ever sinning, and then sent him to the cross to die. And this they command to worship. This contradicts what have been spoken in Romans1:25, which state that they worship a creature than the creator. I don’t think The INC will admit that they are actually doing this thing. Beside God did say he is to be worship and none other, 2S7:22, Ex34:14.

Now according to Ps95:6, we should bow down to and worship our maker, certainly this verse prevents anyone from worshipping any being that isn’t their maker, whether angels, mankind, beasts or plants or viruses. I wonder if the INC admits the Jesus Christ is their maker?

Is17:7Now in this verse a man look to his maker, not creature to creature, no matter how exalted that creature is

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Pr30:4, Jn3:16 He1:6,but not like Moses,Ex7:1(We don’t worship Moses)and Cyrus was called Messiah(We don’t worship Cyrus) who died for us bringing us to God the Father by grace, for all(of age, with understanding) have sin, Ro3:23Jn1:16,17
Basically, what the bible is saying, is that worship no creation or creature (they are the same), Ro1:23, 25 and worship your maker,Ps95:6


One-mindedness, Ro12:16 good moral example? The votes are in, it is doubtful if it is your vote. The election is just around the corners and those politicians, at least some are asking for help. True one mindedness, Ro12:16: 15:5,6; 2Co13:11 Php1:27;2:2;1P3:8,is not because they want you to vote this or that person you should. You can choose whom you want. True mindedness is about church matters and the treatment of fellowmen. Without freedom to question or ask, you become slave and they become your master not the true Christ. Now How sure is INC that all members followed their endorsement. If one don’t follows The Church collapses, who would know, god who created a special man to be worship(this is not found in the bible. The true God does not trust man, Jr17:5Jb4:18,19)

Surprisingly, this is correct

How will those who live prior to 1914 be judged?

Question: The Church of Christ that you preach was only established in 1914. If you teach that it is only this Church that Jesus will save, then what will happen to the people who lived before 1914 when there was no Church of Christ yet? And how about the people who live in places where there is no Church of Christ (e.g., in the tribal societies in Africa); when Jesus returns, won't they be saved?
________________________________________
The answer to your question is stated by Apostle Paul in his letter to the Christians in Rome:

"All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

"(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are writter on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.}" (Rom. 2:12, 14-15, New International Version)

Apostle Paul explained that those who had not received the gospel, such as those who lived and died before the emergence of the Church of Christ in 1914, will be judged throught the law that is written in their hearts with their consciences bearing witness.

Those who have not been reached by the preaching of the words of God also know what is good and bad because there is a law written in their hearts. For instance, even an ordinary man knows that acts such as murder and theft are evil, for his conscience dictates so. Thus, the people who sin apart from the law will be judged through the law written in their hearts. God will judge those who are being judged by their hearts because He is greater than our hearts, and knows all things (I Jn. 3:20).

God Almighty will judge those who lived and died before the emergence of the Church of Christ, and even those who are not reached by the Church's preaching of the gospel.

On the other hand, the people who live today have the responsibility to fulfill what God requires of them in order to be saved. They must "seek the law" because on the day of Judgment, people will be judged according to the gospel (Mal. 2:7; Rom. 2:16).


But again one point mistake is detrimental unless God sometimes make mistake,Ec9:18; 1Co4:6 He5:12-14Jas2:10; 2 Tim. 4:3-4

To conclude, this is the Iglesia Ni Christo (Church of Christ), They worship their God and also their special man created by their God. To be in this religious group you cannot say that you/we worship God but rather in admittance you/we worship God and his special man. Where is/are such in the bible.


Q: What is the Iglesia ni Cristo gospel of Manalo Doctrine Lesson No. 18, and what are its fallacies?
A: The following is an excerpt of what the Manalo doctrine lesson is about:

"LESSON NO.18 - Worship Service
Theme: It is the responsibility of the members of the Church of Christ to attend worship services on the days set for them.
Summary: Each member of the Church of Christ believes that constant attendance in worhsip services is one of his obligations. Great blessings accrue to those who constantly attend worship services while great sins are committed by those who disregard this responsibility."
(Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ, Erano G. Manalo, 1989, p.71)

The Fallacies of this gospel of Manalo doctrine:

Compulsory or forced worship being commanded and enforced by a man is a vain worship (Mt.15:9). God wants man to love God voluntarily because God has given man his own will, otherwise, man becomes a machine that cannot love. A machine follows only what the machine operator wants it to do. A machine has no love and has no emotions and feelings whatsoever. Of course, the machine will break down unless it is not oiled or given regular maintenance. It is without doubt that Iglesia members are these machines that Felix Y. Manalo and his son Erano has reduced them into. Manalo does the regular maintenance of his machines through the process of reindoctrination (repetition of Iglesia doctrines)afforded by the Thursday and Sunday worships equivalent to oiling of the members. A machine can not complain. So, are all Iglesia members! A machine always obeys. So, are each and every Iglesia members! What Manalo wants, he always gets it. If Manalo wants all members to do one month of devotional prayers for his evangelical propagation to spread the gospel of Manalo, he will get it. If Manalo wants all members to sell all their possessions and properties and proceeds given to the feet of Manalo including all their monies, he will get it. If later, Manalo wants his members to commit suicides via a cyanide laced Holy Supper grape juice drinks that his members practice annually, he will get it.

Iglesia's Forced Worship is a Reintroduction of King Nebuchadnezzar's Forced Worship -

The Prophet Daniel had recorded in history the forced worship enforced by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (Daniel 3:1-7). Babylon (now Iraq), was a world power that had defeated the Assyrians and had conquered Jerusalem in 586 B.C. The fall of Jerusalem had brought about the bringing of Hebrew captives out of Jerusalem to Babylon. The famous Hebrews taken were Daniel and the three Hebrew men who were thrown into the burning fiery furnace - Shadrack, Meshack, and Abed-Nego.

Similarities of King Nebuchadnezzar's and Felix Manalo's Forced Worship:

1. Similarity of presence of time element:

Under King Nebuchadnezzar's forced worship, the time element is when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, everyone shall fall down in worship of the idol. Under Felix Y. Manalo's forced worship, the time element is whenever Thursdadys and Sundays arrive, everyone shall troop to the Iglesia chapels to worship the idol;  

2. Similarity of presence of an idol:

Under King Nebuchadnezzar's forced worship, the idol being the subject of worship is the golden image set up by King Nebuchadnezzar around 596 B.C. Under Felix Y. Manalo's forced worship;, the idol being the subject of worship is the Iglesia ni Cristo idol set up by Felix Y. Manalo in 1914 A.C.  LINK

3. Similarity as to totality of people required to worship:

Under King Nebuchadnezzar's forced worship, those required to worship are all Babylonians, the Satraps, administrators, governors, counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all officials and and people in the Babylonian empire. Under Felix Y. Manalo's forced worship, those required are all members of the Iglesia ni Cristo cult including babies and children, and all officers of the Iglesia such as ministers, head deacons, deacons and deaconesses, kadiwa, buklod, binhi, area leaders, secretaries, treasurers and tellers, light of salvation, edification, choir, and ordinary members.

4. Similarity of punishment for failure to worship:

Under King Nebuchadnezzar's forced worship, those who fail to worship are punished by hurling them into the burning fiery furnace. Under Felix Y. Manalo's forced worship, those who fail to worship (absent from the worship service) is punished by judgment of throwing them into the burning lake of fire (It is a teaching of Manalo that those who forsake the worship service will have no more remedy except the lake of fire which shall consume the Iglesia worship violator).

5. Similarity of being a man-made worship:

The command to worship the golden image under the forced worship in the Babylonian empire was mandated by King Nebuchadnezzar, who is a man. The command to worship the Iglesia ni Cristo idol under the forced worship of the Iglesia ni Cristo cult was mandated by Felix Y. Manalo, who is also a man.

6. Similarity of God's testing of his people whether to worship idols or not:

The Hebrew people were commanded by God not to worship idols (Exo.20:3-4). The three Hebrews, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, passed the test when they did not worship the golden image set up by King Nebuchadnezzar. When they passed the test, God sent an angel to save the three Hebrews from the burning fiery furnace. In the present time, true people of God will pass the test if they will refuse to worship the Iglesia ni Cristo idol set up by Felix Y. Manalo. God will surely send his angels to save Iglesia members who will pass the test of not worshipping the Iglesia ni Cristo idol.

Q: What are the other deceptions of Manalo included in his gospel of Manalo Doctrine No. 18?
A: The following are the other deceptions of Manalo in questions and answers format found in his Manalo gospel book called Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), pp.71-74:

1. "Q. Why is it the duty of all members of the Church of Christ to worship God?
A. This is sought by the Father...Jn.4:23
"But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him." -Jn.4:23 NKJV
FYM Note: The Father or God seeks the true worshippers. There are, of course, worshippers who are not true. The true worshippers are those who have the right to do it because they have been redeemed or cleansed by the blood of Christ, and this is the Church of Christ."

Manalo's deceptions in the use of John 4:23:

Contrary to the note by FYM, Church of Christ of Manalo members are not the true worshippers. The true worshippers are those who worship in spirit and in truth. What is worship in spirit? Is it worshipping God by closing your eyes when praying because God is Spirit? No! When Christ prayed, His eyes were wide opened (John 17:1). Manalo wants his Iglesia members to close their eyes when they pray in order to give the demons some party times to enter them and rejuvenate their minds, hearts, and souls. Worship in spirit is spiritual (not physical)worship. The fact that the Sammaritan woman was debating with Christ that worship should be physical on the mountain or in the Jerusalem temple, was rebuked by Christ that such worships were not longer required by the Father (Jn.4:21). Therefore, these two kinds of worships (on Mount Sinai and in the Temple) were replaced by a new kind of worship called worship in spirit and in truth. Worship in spirit is becoming a spiritual house of God (2 Pet.2:5) or living a spiritual life and doing the fruit of the spirit which are love, joy, and self-control (Gal.5:22-25). In fact, worship in spirit or spiritual worship is accomplished by presenting your body as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God (Rom.12:1). Let us read this:

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." (Rom.12:1 NKJV)

In the New Revised Standard Version:

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." (Rom.12:1 NRSV)

Therefore, presenting your body as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God, is a spiritual worship. Where do you present your body? Do you present your body in the chapel of the Iglesia ni Cristo? No! Your body is always presented everywhere you body goes.You can not be holy only in one place. Manalo always perverts what is written. He wants Iglesia members to present their bodies in the Iglesia chapels in order to get monies. Moreover, Manalo misleads his members that "living sacrifice" means not to sleep or wander your minds while you are in the worship service. When the verse says "as a living sacrifice," it is about sacrifice or offering. It is never about behavior in the worship service. The Israelites had offered dead sacrifices which are the dead bulls they had killed. In the Christian era, there is no more dead sacrifices but living sacrifices which are the bodies of Christians themselves.

How about worship in truth? Worship in truth is a worship based on truth or based on the words of God (Jn.17:17). Therefore, what should be obeyed are God's words not man's words such as the words of Manalo found in his gospel book.

Do you worship God if you follow His teaching of giving or helping to the needs of the poor and needy (Mt.19:21, Rom.15:26; 1Tim.6:17-19)? Yes, you do. That is worship in spirit because you have presented your body holy doing the fruit of the spirit, which is, kindness or unrequitted love for someone in distress. It is a worship in truth because you obeyed God's command to help the poor and needy.

The Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ of Manalo) members are not the true worshippers -

Why are the Iglesia members not the true worshippers but false worshippers? First of all, they are doing the old worship in the temple (or in their chapels). If temple worship is still accepted, why did God allowed the Jerusalem Temple to be destroyed in 70 A.D.? The reason is because the new temples are now his Christian children. God's people are His temples (1 Cor.3:16-17). As God's temples, people of God live a holy or spiritual life. What about the Iglesia ni Cristo members? Are they holy when everytime they gather and pray, they always ask for forgiveness of their sins? They are sinners! They are children of the devil (1 Jn.3:8). Let's read this verse that testifies that Church of Christ members of Manalo are children of the devil:

"He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." (1 Jn.3:8 NKJV)

Is there any doubt here that Iglesia members are children of the devil because they always sin as proved by their constant prayers asking for forgiveness of their sins? No! They are 100% children of the devil! The devil has sinned from the beginning. So, are the Iglesia members have been sinning ever since they have joined the Iglesia cult. Is worship of idols such as the Iglesia ni Cristo idol, a sin? You bet.

2. "Q. What power has God to require us to worship Him?
A. He created us and we are His people...Ps.95:6-7
"Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand." -Ps.95:6-7 NKJV
FYM Note: It is really the obligation of the creature to worship his Creator. But because the world has turned away from God, the ones expected by God to render Him true worship are the members of the Church of Christ which are His people in these last days."

Manalo's deceptive use of Psalms 95:6-7:

Who created all people or who created mankind? It is God (Gen.1:26-27). Then who are supposed to love God? All people is it not? But how come there are children of God and there are children of the devil such as the Iglesia ni Cristo cult members? It started when Adam and Eve had eaten the forbidden fruit in the midst of the garden. They have eaten the fruit because they were deceived by the devil. Adam and Eve were not machines. They were given their own wills because God wants them to show their love to God. But they were deceived by the devil and fell into sin. That's what caused the original sin of mankind. All men are condemned to die because of that. Did God abandoned humans because of that? No. He sent His grace to humans by sending His only begotten Son Jesus Christ . Therefore, one man's offense of disobedience(Adam's sinning) produced judgment of death to all men, but through one Man's (the Man Jesus Christ from heaven) obedience (to die on the cross), the free gift of God came to all men (Rom.5:18). Therefore, all men are brought back to God because of Jesus. What is the significance of Christ's death on the cross? Sin (past, present, and future) shall no longer have dominion on the people. Man's sin was paid for already by Christ (Heb.10:10). There came also the new era that we are no longer under the law of sin but under grace (Rom.6:14). Salvation now rests upon the mercy of God. Because of this, Manalo is put out of business.
Formerly, Manalo has a brisk business of using sin to entice people to join his cult saying, "Hey you, Sinbad, you are a sinner, therefore, you need the Iglesia ni Cristo in order to be saved from death in the lake of fire because of your sin!" A knowledgeable Sinbad will just answer Manalo, "Get out of here, you scumbug!"

Then why are there still children of the devil such as the Iglesia members when Christ already died for all men (Rom.6:10)? The mystery is that there is a condition imposed by God in order to benefit from the redemptive act of Christ. What is this condition? Let's read:

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." -Jn.3:16 NKJV

If you will read the verse carefully, you will know God's condition. What is the condition? The condition is believing Jesus Christ. When you believe Jesus Christ, you will have believed also God who sent Christ. What about if you don't believe Jesus Christ but you believe instead a guy named Felix Y. Manalo? If we will read the next Verse 18, what you will get instead of eternal life, is eternal punishment. That's what you will get for believing a scumbug. Why would the Iglesia members not believe Jesus Christ? What do you think? The reason is because their devil father is prohibiting them from doing so. The devil always teaches them not to exchange their Iglesia ni Cristo idol with anything else in this world. The devil also has given then the demon doctrine of prohibiting marriage to non members. The devil protects his children so that they can not escape the prison concentration camp.

Practical Application of believing Jesus Christ:

"Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord that I may believe in Him?" And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you." Then, he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshipped Him." -Jn.9:35-38 NKJV

To believe Jesus Christ is to say it by word of mouth as when the former blind man mouthed, "Lord, I believe!" Therefore, the former blind man fulfilled the condition of believing Jesus Christ. He surely, will not perish but will have everlasting life. It should be noted also that after believing he obtained the right to worship Christ. The Iglesia ni Cristo members who do not believe Jesus Christ do not have the right to worship Jesus and neither God. . They are the false worshippers.

3. "Q. Where do the people of God worship Him?
A. In His holy temple....Ps.5:7
"But as for me,I will come into Your house
in the multitude of your mercy;
in fear of You, I will worship toward Your holy temple." -Ps.5:7 NKJV
FYM Note: Explain: The temple referred to in the verse is equivalent to our present chapel or house of worship."

Manalo's deceptive use of Psalms 5:7 -

The Book of Psalms is written by David, a man of God. There was no Jerusalem Temple as yet because the Jerusalem Temple was only built by Solomon, his son. Therefore, the temple that was mentioned by David was no other than the movable tent or the tabernacle. This tabernacle is not a fixed structure but is collapsible, movable from place to place. Knowing this fact, would you consider Manalo's chapels as movable temples? No! Iglesia chapels are immovable structures of concrete and steel. What about Manalo's cheap imitation tabernacle in Quezon City, Philippines? This cheap imitation tabernacle is a fixed structure, too. For example, if they will worship their idol in the remote village of Basilan in southern Philippines where there is no established chapel yet, can Manalo fold his Quezon City cheap imitation tabernacle and carry it to that place? No, he can't. Therefore, Manalo is in violation of the specifications of the tabernacle that can be folded, carried, and moved about from place to place. Even if Erano can build a movable tabernacle with gold fixtures and goatskin roof, he won't do it because he will be harassed by the AbuSayyaf kidnapper squads who will have easy access to Erano's thanksgiving money collection depot. The AbuSayyaf could not possibly kidnap any Iglesia ministers because Erano is cheap and would not pay a cent for ransom of his ministers nor for any Iglesia member for that matter. If there is a stickup, it is of great wonder if Erano can force his deacons and deaconesses to cough up replacement monies under pains of expulsion as what he does in Manila. In such AbuSayyaf money grabbing incident, the sting will be dubbed: "Robber robs another robber!"

4. "Q. Which is this worship performed in the house of worship and how is this done?
A. This is the gathering together with singing, prayers, and teachings....1 Cor.14:26,15 -
"How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding." -1 Cor.14:26,15 NKJV
FYM Note: Explain: This program of our congregational worship is not something new. This is also the program of congregational worship of the first Christians. They had prayers, singing, and studies of God's words."

Manalo's deceptions in using the 1 Cor.14:26 verse -

Take note how Manalo deceives the indoctrinees by instructing his ministers to lie to the indoctrinees that their worship is not new and that it had been done by the first Christians. This is a lie. The Iglesia worship is very different from what was done by the first Christians. The place that the Corinthians (who were Gentile Christians)had gathered
was not a temple but houses(Rom.16:1; 1 Cor.16:19). The following are the requirements of the gathering specified in 1 Cor.14:26:

1. No fixed time (Verse says, "whenever you gather");
2. No single fixed place (Rom.16:10-11- Each Christian household gather in their respective houses );
3. Everyone has a psalm (Eph.5:19 - speaking to one another in psalms);
4. Everyone has a teaching (1 Cor.14:31 - All may proclaim God's message at a time);
5. Everyone has a tongue (1 Cor.14:18-19 - Everyone speaks in understandable language);
6. Everyone has an interpretation (1Cor.14:11 - There is an interpreter for every foreign language spoken);
7. All things done for edification (1 Cor 14:11-17 - Understanding of God's message leads to edification).

Felix Y. Manalo's man-made worship contrasted with the 1 Cor.14:26 teaching:

1. There are fixed times (Every Thursdays and Sundays);
2. There is a fixed place (The Iglesia chapel buildings);
3. Members do not have their own respective psalms (Psalms being used by the cult are Protestant hymnals but lyrics were replaced with Iglesia ni Cristo lyrics);
4. Members don't speak or teach one another but Erano serves as the only teacher as he is the preparer of sermons;
5. There is no separate revelator (Erano is both the teacher and the revelator);
6. There is no translator of foreign language;
7. Addition of offerings requirement (No such offering requisite done by the Corinthians. Read again, if there was any offerings mentioned by the 1 Cor.14:26 verse);
8. Instead of edification result of the gathering, Erano had created his Edification Office that has duty of keeping track of worship escapees;
9. Addition of nametag turning chores;
10. Addition of locking of doors during worship so no one can get out;
11. Addition of prior seven days devotional prayers for some worships;
12. Addition of separate seating for males and females;
13. Enforcement of involuntary attendance.

As you can see, the Iglesia worship is an abominatioin of what a true gathering should be as taught by the Apostles. There are many Manalo made additions and deletions reducing their worship gatherings into man-made worship.

Why does Manalo wants to assemble all families into one Iglesia chapel per local? To answer this is to know which is more profitable. Is worships in chapels more profitable than worships in houses of members? Absolutely. In chapel worship, Erano gets more monies and spends less because he has to pay only one minister to say his prepared sermon. In household worship, Erano will get only troubles. For example, in a household of two members (husband and wife), who will act as head deacon and who will be the deacon and deaconess? Who will become the choir? Who will collect the offerings? If the husband and wife perform all the three positions, there will be no members whom they can collect offerings except themselves and the minister. The offerings will be a dismal three pesos if each one offers one peso each.

Is gathering of two or three prohibited? No! Two people is the minimum number who can gather (Mt.18:20). What about in Erano's cult? Watch him out because if only two Iglesia members had attended his compulsory worship, he will send his deacons and deaconess troops to round up all those who had escaped the worship.

5. "Q. What is Apostle's strict instruction concerning these gathering together of the members of the Church?
A. Do not neglect attendance...Heb.10:25
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another---and all the more as you see the Day approaching." -Heb.10:25 NIV
FYM Conclusion: Thus, no one can insist that he will worship God only in his own house because the strict instruction is not to neglect the attendance at gatherings."

Manalo's deceptions in the use of Heb.10:25 -

The verse did not say, "Do not neglect attendance" which gives importance to checking of attendance that is being practised by the Iglesia cult. Because the Iglesia cult has a devil father, the leader is expert in changing the words of God. What the verse says is, "not give up meeting together." In other words, Christians must meet together. Apparently, some Christians fail to meet together.

The first Christians did not have compulsory gathering attendance and checking of attendance. What is the proof? Let's read the proof:

"Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a conveneint time." (1 Cor.16:12 NKJV)

Upon reading this verse, did the Corinthians had a compulsory gathering? No! They can come to the gathering at their convenient times. What about Erano who wants to enforce his man-made doctrine? Iglesia escapees will brace themselves for Erano's judgment of wrath.

Does Apostle Paul rebuke Erano G. Manalo's compulsory worship? Let's read:

"But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion as it were, but voluntary." (Philemon 1:14 NKJV)

According to Apostle Paul, doing good deed is not by compulsion but voluntary. How about Erano? You like it or not, you are compelled to attend his compulsory worship or else your deacon/deaconess guard will be at your door to extract your reasons for being absent. Manalo has a "kempetai" sentry to enforce his man-made worship.

Another deception of Manalo in using Heb.10:25 -

Manalo has hidden Verse 24. He had quoted only Verse 25. Why do you think Manalo had hidden Verse 24? The main reason is so that he can hide the true context of the verse. Let's read the citation from Verse 24:

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another---and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (Heb.10:24-25 NIV)

Now, the context of the verse is clear. The gathering mentioned is not a worship service! Why so? The purpose of the meeting together is to spur one another toward love and good deeds. Therefore, the Christians meeting together was an informal gathering whose goal is to advance the love of brotherhood among the believers of Christ and to spur doing good deeds which we know already as fruit of the spirit. The meeting is an informal setting where brethren can react among themselves,hug, or advise one another. Manalo's goal, however, is to brainwash members through his forced worship wherein he can reindoctrinate members again and again.

6. "Q. When did the first Church perform their gathering together or worship services?
A. On the first day of the week....Acts 20:7
"Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight." (Acts 20:7 NKJV

Deceptions of Manalo in using Acts 20:7 -

The verse did not say "every first day of the week." Paul happened to be with the disciples on that first day of the week when the disciples commemorated the Lord's Supper. Take note that commemorating the Lord's Supper is breaking the bread only. Therefore, Manalo had added the drinking. Manalo always adds or deducts to what is in the Scriptures.

What about if Manalo fights for his doctrine of worships every first day of the week? He'll be caught again perverting the Scriptures. First day of the week is only Sundays. Manalo had added the fifth day (Thursday)of the week as another worship. Why add another day of worship? Probably, if we will allow Erano drink a truth serum, he will gladly tell the truth about the reason for adding the Thursday worship. He will say, "I am now telling the truth, brethren, my father added the Thursday worships to get more monies!"

7. "Q. Why is it that in the Church of Christ there are other days set also for worship services? Were there instances that the first Church performed worship services on other days aside from the first day of the week?
A. There was a time when they worshipped every day...Acts 2:46
"So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart." -Acts2:46 NKJV

Manalo's perversion of Acts 2:46 -

Manalo really has intentions of amassing more monies by enforcing seven days a week worships. Manalo follows always his Iglesia law of increasing responsibilities. From one day a week of worship, up to two days a week worships, and up to seven days a week worships. Why will Erano use Acts 2:46 alleged daily worships if he will not use it later on? Sure, he will. The Iglesia's seven days a week worship is now being tested via the seven days nightly devotional prayers where nightly, members troop to the chapels to say prayers and attendances checked.

Did the first Christians really had seven days a week of worship? No! What the Christians continued daily was eating food. Of course, the Christians had to eat daily or else they will die.

Why were the disciples staying at the Jerusalem Temple at the time? Let's know why:

"Behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high...And they worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God." (Lk.24:49,52-53 NKJV)

The context of daily in the temple is continuous presence, which implies the disciples have been staying at the temple. The reason why they were staying at the temple was because Christ commanded them to tarry (stay temporarily) in the temple.They were required to be together until they were empowered by the Holy Spirit. Another reason why they were staying at the temple is because they have sold their properties and belongings (including their houses) and the proceeds given to the Apostles' feet for equitable distribution (Acts 2:44-45). Having sold their houses,where do you think they will stay?

Erano must have a plan to require all Iglesia ni Cristo members to sell their properties and possessions and proceeds surrendered to Erano's feet. For sure, he has already available method to advance his appetite for more monies. He has a convenient verse (Acts 5:1-10) for use to back up members' selling their properties. He has the technique for enforcing it, which is, the use of fear of death by requiring them to have one month or more devotional prayers to keep their resistance down to zero. After Erano gets all their monies,he will assemble them all in his chapels so that they could be exterminated through the final act of Holy Supper with a cyanide laced grape juice drinks. Escape is also precluded as the chapels doors will be locked. Finally, the puzzle pieces are falling into their proper places. Why are members always reminded that the first Christians sold all their properties and proceeds surrendered to Apostles' feet? Why is there annual practice of drinking of grape juices? Why is there practices of locking of chapel doors? The puzzle portends that something is in store for all Iglesia members. This ultimate puzzle will be the ultimate sacrifice by Iglesia members to their Iglesia idol. History repeats itself. We will be shocked again with the inevitable: "2.5 MILLION IGLESIA NI CRISTO CULT MEMBERS DRANK THEIR LAST SUPPER TO THEIR DEATHS!"

8. "Q. What right does the Church Administration have in setting the day for worship services?
A. Confirmed in heaven...Mt.18:19:
"Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven." -Mt.18:19 NKJV
Note by FYM: Explain: The Church Administration has the right to decide on the things pertaining to the service of God such as setting the days for worship services. Their decision is confirmed by God in heaven and that is why we do not neglect any man if we neglect such services, but God Who seeks us to worship Him."

Manalo's perversion of Matthew 18:19 -

The verse says, "if two agree on earth..." Who are these two that must agree on earth, and how come there is only one (EGM) agreeing on earth? If we will read the next Verse 20, the two are those who will gather in the name of Jesus Christ. Therefore, who decides when to gather are the members. Besides, the people who will gather must be in the name of Jesus Christ. It is never a gathering in the name of Church of Christ of Manalo. Without a doubt, Erano is perverting the verse asserting his authority when he does not have the authority. Furthermore, the Iglesia members are worshipping a different god - their idol Iglesia ni Cristo.

What about Erano's argument that Iglesia members serving the Church of Christ are also serving God? This is not allowed by Christ because you can not serve two masters. Let's read the teaching of Jesus Christ:

"No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." -Lk.16:13 NKJV

It is a teaching of Lord Jesus that you cannot serve two masters. Which are these two masters of the Iglesia members? They are their Master God and Master Erano G. Manalo. If Iglesia members will love God, they will hate Erano. And if they will love Erano, they will end up hating God. Only one master can be served. Did not Christ said the first commandment, "to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind (Mk.12:30)? All Iglesia members have been loving God 5% or less while loving Erano 95% or more. What is the proof of this? When Erano ordered all Iglesia members not to exchange their Iglesia ni Cristo membership (or Iglesia idol) with anything else in this world," what did the members said? "Amen!" Where is now the love of God who teach Christ should be given preeminence in all things (Col.1:18)? Erano have replaced the name of Jesus Christ with his Church of Christ idol. Erano and his father Felix have no shame associating their cult's name with Christ's name despite that both father and son spit on the name of Christ.

9. "Q. What if we have to transfer residence for reasons of livelihood? What is God's strict instruction to us?
A. Look for the house of God wherever it is...Deut.12:5:
"But you shall seek the place where the Lord your God chooses, out of all your tribes, to put His name for His dwelling place; and there you shall go." -Deut.12:5 NKJV
Note by FYM: Instruction: Wherever we go, we should look first for the house of worship. Wherever we may be, we must remain members of the Church of Christ. Therefore, He expects us to set time for worshipping Him."

Manalo's perversion of Deut.12:5 -

The place is always chosen by God (Ps.122:9). Which are the chronological places chosen by God to worship Him? The first place chosen by God was Mount Sinai (Exo.3:12). The second place chosen was the tabernacle (Exo.25:8-9). The third place was the Jerusalem Temple (2 Chro.7:12)until 70 A.D. After the Jerusalem Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D., which is the last place chosen by God and still the place today where we worship God? The place is the flesh and bones body of Jesus Christ (Jn.2:18-11; Eph.5:30). Jesus Christ is the new temple that replaced the Jerusalem Temple which Christ said will rise in the third day. Jesus Christ is now the temple of God serving as the chief cornerstone (Acts 4:11). This is the same temple building that Christ said He will build (Mt.16:18). Those who have joined the flesh and bones body of Jesus Christ (1 Cor.6:15) became also the temples of God (1 Cor.6:19). How did they become the temple of God? When they have joined Christ they became one flesh with Him. Therefore, when a believer joins Jesus Christ's flesh spiritually, there are no more two flesh but one flesh. How can one join the flesh and bones of Christ? Through God's mercy (Rom.9:15). God calls His people and gives them to Christ (Jn.6:37).

Who is at work in saving men? Is it man (this is Manalo's teaching) or is it God (this is the teaching of Jesus Christ)? Contrary to the teaching of Erano, it is God who does the work of saving people (Jn.6:29). How about the argument of Erano that men are needed in saving people using 2 Thes.2:14 that people are called by the gospel brought by the ministers of the Iglesia ni Cristo? Let's read this:

"But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, stand fast and hold the tradition which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle." -2 Thes.2:14 NKJV

The verse says, "He called you by our gospel.." Therefore, it is God who has called. But can God call without the necessity of men to guide mankind? The last sentence says, "you were taught, whether by word or our epistle." Whose word is it? The words of Christ and His apostles. Which epistle is it? The epistles of the Apostles and disciples of Christ that constitute the Holy Bible. Can you be taught by the epistles without human guides? Oh yes, the Holy Spirit serves as your guide and teacher (Jn.14:26). We don't need any Erano Manalo or Felix Manalo or their Iglesia ministers who are false preachers preaching their man-made gospel.

10. "Q. What is God's warning to those who neglect worship services?
A. He will punish them in the lake of fire...Heb.10:25-27:
"...not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." -Heb.10:25 NKJV

"For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries." -Heb.10:26-27 NKJV
EGM's Note: Explain: To neglect the worship service is considered a serious sin. God will inflict terrible punishment on those who do so. From now on never miss attendance, unless you are seriously ill or physically incapable."

Manalo's Perversion of Heb.10:25 -

FYM and EGM being purveyors of the devil's doctrine of fear of death, have to inculcate into the minds of all Iglesia members the threats of death in order to chain the members' necks bolted to the Iglesia cult. How do the father and son (FYM & EGM) accomplish the trick? If you have access to a Bible, you will realize that Verse 25 is from a previous paragraph. Manalo has coupled Verse 25 with the next paragraph which is Verse 26. Verse 26 is a separate paragraph because it has another topic, which is, Willfull Sinning. Manalo did the coupling so he can hold all Iglesia members become his hostages.

How Manalo used Verses 26-27 to hold hostage all his Iglesia members -

According to Manalo, if you don't attend the worship service, you have done serious sin and God will inflict terrible punishment on you. Let's assume that Feljun B. Fuentes, an Iglesia member and minister editor of the cult's month magazine God's Message. Feljun had suffered faith shipwreck as a result of being removed from his position as editorial writer of his cult's magazine. We do not know why he was kicked out. Probably, he incurred the ire of EGM when he wrote something derogatory to the cult. Because of Feljun's shipwrecked Iglesia faith, he did not attend the worship services. As we all know, Erano has a radar equipment in place to know whether you attended the worship or not. This radar equipment is the nametag that you must turn everytime you attend the service. Feljun's deacon was alerted at once when the radar sounded that Feljun had not turned his nametag. It means he was absent. At this point, according to Manalo, Feljun has incurred a very serious sin. Feljun is now consigned to the lake of fire.
After two months of non attendance, Manalo now gets worried not because of Feljun but because of reports of decrease in the money deposits of the local where Feljun is listed. Therefore, Erano calls up the assigned minister of that local to explain the decrease in thanksgiving deposits. The minister answered, "Sir, our locality's thanksgiving deposits had decreased because Brother Feljun B. Fuentes had not been attending the worship services and, therefore, had not been making his weekly thanksgiving deposits!" Erano's ears became inflamed as if stung by a bee. With great wrath in his eyes, he commanded, "Get him to attend the worship services! Interview him why he had shipwrecked his Iglesia faith and do whatever you can to buoy him up. Promise anything, promise heaven, promise he will get back his position as editor of God's message as soon as he gets back to worship service!" "Yes, Sir," was the minister's reply.
When telephone calls to Feljun remained unanswered and personal visits were unfruitful, the minister and the local head deacon hid in the bushes behind Feljun's house to catch the worship escapee. With binoculars at day and night vision googles at night, the daring James Bond duo scour the comings and goings of cars. When Feljun's car is seen approaching, the daring daredevil duo immediately go into action. As Feljun emerge from his car and before he could escape, it is too late. "Gotcha!" The worship escapee is taken into INC headquarters for catchup reindoctrination sessions.
The minister reindoctrinates Feljun. "You will not lose your salvation and you will not be thrown into the lake of fire provided you return to the worship services!" "What? What about Hebrews 10:26-27 telling me there is no more remedy for the sins I have done?" The minister's reply: "Brother Feljun, that verse can be overruled by our Church Administrator? Our Church Administrator is the son of the last messenger Bro. Felix. The secrets of the Bible was now transferred to Bro. Erano. Therefore, Bro. Erano knows when to overrule or not overrule the Bible! If Brother Erdy says there is a remedy for your sins, you are lucky. So please attend the future worship services and everything is foregotten."

NOW WE KNOW why Iglesia ni Cristo members have become hostages of Erano. They became hostages because they believe a lie that Erano G. Manalo is higher than the Bible. And the members believed the lie the Felix Y. Manalo is the last days messenger of God. As the Bible says, "they exchanged the truth for the lie," (Rom.1:25). Which is the truth that Iglesia members had exchanged for the lie? The truth that it is Jesus Christ who is God's messenger in these last days (Heb.1:1). Therefore, Iglesia members exchanged Jesus Christ for Felix Manalo. And now, they exchange Jesus Christ for Erano G. Manalo. After Erano, whom will Iglesia members exchange Jesus Christ for? That's right, Jesus Christ will be exchanged for Eduardo Manalo (son of Erano), the deputy executive minister.

The true context of Heb.10:26-27 -

Verse 26 has nothing to do with the previous Verse 25, it being in a separate paragraph. Verse 26 pertains to the topic of Willful Sinning. Willful sinning is when you know that it is violation of God's commands but you still do it voluntarily. Christ died for the world only once. Christ can not die again and again everytime you commit sins. Therefore, there is no more sacrifice for such sins as stated by the verse. And what do the Iglesia ni Cristo members do? They crucify Jesus Christ again and again for they commit non stop sins as evidenced by their non stop asking for God's forgiveness of their sins.

True context of Heb.10:25 -

Is not attending a voluntary gathering a sin? Supposing you have not attended the OSCAR awarding gathering, are you now consigned to the lake of fire? No! What about being absent from the voluntary gatherings of Christians? Of course, you won't either. Is the informal gathering mentioned in Heb.10:25 voluntary? To get the whole picture of Heb. 10:25 we must start reading from Verse 24. Manalo has hidden this verse to hide the context of Verse 25. Let's read the verses:

"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." -Heb.10:24-25 NKJV

Reread the verses carefully. Was there a command or an advice? It is an advice. What are the advices? They are:

1. Consider one another;
2. Stir up love and good works;
3. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together;
4. Exhorting one another.

When somebody advises you, is he forcing you? No. It's up to you if you will take the advice or not. You have the freewill to take the advice or not.

Erano, however, converted the foregoing advices into commands. Which are these commands that replaced the advices of the Apostles? They are:

1. Command #1 - Every Iglesia member must follow the Church Administration. (Forget about considering one another);
2. Command #2 - Every Iglesia ni Cristo members must love the Church of Christ and do good works required by the Church. (Forget about the advice to stir love of God. Can you love God if you are forced to? Absolutely Not! If you are forced to love God, it will not be true worship but fictitious worship. Instead of loving God, Manalo stresses love of the Church of Christ cult founded by him);
3. Do not be absent in the Thursday and Sunday worship services! (The advice was turned into a command);
4. All Iglesia members must bear fruits (convert fuits, money fruits, and Iglesia work fruits) as long as you live. (The word "exhortation" was thrown by Erano into the garbage can).

Therefore, Manalo has perverted Heb.10:25 by converting advices into his man-made commands.

We already know that Manalo has been teaching contra teachings to the teachings of the Apostles. The first Christians were doing good deeds voluntarily (Philemon 1:14). If the first Christians were doing good works voluntarily, what about the Iglesia ni Cristo cultians? The Iglesia cultians because they are not Christians do works with swords dangling over their heads.

11. "Q. Will Christ give value to the various excuses offered by those who neglect the worship services?
A. Those who offer excuses are not worthy of the kingdom of God...Lk.9:59-62:
"Then He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God." And another also said, "Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house." But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand on the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." -Lk.9:59-62 NKJV
EGM Note: Instruction: You should not be hindered by your employment or profession or any personal interest in performing this duty. God should have priority over anything in the world."

Deceptions of Manalo in using Luke 9:59-62 -

The citation is not about attendance to worship service, but is about following Christ to become His disciples. Manalo would do anything to deceive the indoctrinees.

Becoming a Christ Disciple -

How can one follow Jesus Christ to become His disciple? Do you attend the Iglesia worship? No! Those who become Christ disciple follow Jesus Christ. It is never following Felix Manalo. According to the citation, family responsibilities must not be placed ahead of following Christ. Why did Jesus Christ say, "let the dead bury their own dead"? The dead are the alive who are considered dead because of their trespasses and sins (Eph.2:1). They are considered dead though alive because they are already condemned to die (Rom.6:23). Because of this, Christ said, "God is not the God of the dead (Mt.22:32). Can a dead become alive? Sure! You can be made alive by the mercy of God through Jesus Christ (Rom.6:23).

Which is the Kingdom of God?

It is important to know which is the kingdom of God in order not to be misled by Manalo. According to Manalo, the kingdom of God is his Church of Christ or Iglesia ni Cristo. This is absolutely ridiculous and absurd, but, his deceived members believe him. The root cause of this is they believe the lie that Felix Y. Manalo is the last messenger of God. And they believe the lie that Felix Manalo is the only one given the secrets of the Bible. But we know the truth that the last messenger of God is Jesus Christ (Hewb.1:1). And we know the truth that the secrets of the Bible was made known to all nations (Rom.16:26).

The kingdom of God is a mystery not given to Felix nor Erano Manalo. The mystery was given only by Christ to His Apostles and disciples (Mk.4:11). What is the clue to knowing the kingdom of God? Since it is a kingdom, it has a king, right? Who is the king? Let's read the teaching of Apostle John who was given the mystery by Christ:

"Then the seventh angel sounded; And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever." (Rev.11:15 NKJV)

The king is God and Christ. Are there two kings? No. God and Christ binded by the Holy Spirit are one. This is the mystery that Felix and Erano do not know. If God and Christ binded by the Holy Spirit are one God, so are people believers of Christ and Jesus Christ binded by the Holy Spirit are one Christ. So, which is the kingdom of God? The kingdom of God is in Jesus Christ. How can you be in Jesus Christ? You can be in Jesus Christ if you are called by God (Rom.9:15). After you are called by God, God gives you to Christ (Jn.6:44). After you are given to Christ, is there a chance that you will lose your salvation? No more! A calling by God is irrevocable (Rom.11:29). Furthermore, Christ and His Father will protect you (Jn.10:28-29).

What about Manalo's calling? Are Iglesia members called by Manalo secure of their salvation? No! Their salvation can be held back by Manalo for any missteps in their required Manalo right manners and Iglesia conducts.

Examples of instances Iglesia members losing their salvation:

1.Being absent in one worship? Uh oh, salvation is lost. Manalo says, it's a serious sin punishable by death in the lake of fire. There is no more sacrifice for such sin;
2. Did not give thanksgiving monies? Oh my, salvation is lost. Manalo says, anyone who forgets to give thanksgivings will be killed by God;
3. Did not bear convert fruits, money fruits, Iglesia work fruits? Uh oh, salvation is lost. Manalo says you will be chopped from the vine, you will become dry, you will be gathered for throwing into the eternal fire.

12. "Q. What is God's promise in our worship services?
A. He will be with us in our gatherings...Mt.18:20:
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." -Mt.18:20 NKJV

Deceptions of Manalo in using Matthew 18:10 -

The number required to attend is two or three. How come Manalo wants to round up all others who did not attend? Why does he do this? The reason is simple. His gathering is another gathering not sanctioned by Christ. What gathering is approved by Jesus according to the verse? It is a gathering in the name of Jesus Christ. It is never a gathering in the name of Church of Christ of FYM.

Do you think Christ will be present in an Iglesia gathering whose members are always sinning and worshipping an idol set up by a man? Do you think Christ will be a guest to a cult whose members trample Jesus underfoot by giving preeminence to their Church of Christ idol rather than Christ? Do you think Christ will visit a cult who demoted Him? No way! Then Jesus Christ is not their visitor. Who do you think will be their guest who is very very happy to visit them? Naturally, their father devil!

13. "Q. How can Christ be with us in our worship services?
A. By means of the Spirit...Gal.4:6:
"And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father!" -Gal.4:6 NKJV

Deceptions by Manalo in using Gal.4:6 -

According to the verse, Christ's Spirit will be only with God's sons or God's children. What about the Iglesia ni Cristo members? Whose children are they? Since they don't believe Jesus Christ, they are therefore children of the devil! The Holy Scriptures teaching is very clear on this. Let's read:

"But as many as received Him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." -Jn.1:12 NKJV

Is it not clear in this verse that the children of God are those who receive Jesus Christ and believe Him? If we contrast the Iglesia ni Cristo faith, it is different. What is the Iglesia ni Cristo's unique faith? It is this:

"I believe Felix Y. Manalo and accept the Iglesia ni Cristo or Church of Christ as my personal savior."

Because of their unique faith, Iglesia members are not children of God but children of the devil. It is the devil who gave them their faith.

14. "Q. What is the value of the Spirit's dwelling in us?
A. This strengthens our spiritual life and we will be firm in our love....Eph.3:16-18 TEV:
"I ask God from the wealth of his glory to give you power thru his Spirit to be strong in your inner selves, and I pray that Christ will make his home in your hearts through faith. I pray that you may have your roots and foundation in love, so that you, together with all God's people, may have the power to understand how broad and long, how high and deep, is Christ's love.: -Eph.3:16-18 TEV.
FYM Note: Emphasize: Great blessings will be received from God by those who attend worship services because they receive the Spirit who strengthens their spiritual life and confirms them in their love."

Deceptions by Manalo in using Eph.3:16-18 -

The verse pertains to God's people. Manalo has commandeered the verses so that he can use it for his cult whose members are children of the devil. True children of God according to the verse, have roots and foundation in love. What about the Iglesia members? Do they have foundation in love? No! Can there be love of God if you must love God under the barrel of a gun? No. That kind of love is a fictitious love or presumptous love. It is never a true love. What can you expect from a messenger of the devil. The Iglesia ni Cristo members are not children of the devil by accident. Their deeds prove it.


Believe Jesus is not God only a man created by God: Manalo said Jesus was no more God then he was.

Believe that Jesus being a man needed salvation also and saved himself by the merits of his own death, the same merits that saved others.
