Leaving for Good to Fulfill a Mission ...

It was late December of 2005 during the congregation’s thanksgiving when it was declared before the brethren that Bro. Eli was indeed for a long stay abroad. The truth is it was November when he formally stepped out of the country to further the cause he was called for – to preach the Word of God to all nations.

(To preach the word of god to all nation? ang ibig pong sabihin sa tagalog nito ay "magtatago po muna si Bro Eli sa ibang bansa dahil may arrest warrant na sa kanya. Kunyari lang po yung "preach the word...to all nation" he he he he!)

Bro. Eli’s departure meant differently to different people. For a majority of the brethren, it was a cause of undeniable sadness. There were also fears for his safety since he would be out of the country for an indefinite period of time.

(Bro Eli's departure meant differently to different people....totoo po yan. Sa iba, ang pag takas ni Eli ay dahil sa utang. Para sa iba naman, bulto bultong demanda. Para sa iba, rape naman.)

But there is more to Bro. Eli Soriano’s parting than meets the eye. His move is a very significant thing for every Christian who is watchful of the times.

(Anong wathchful of the times? Binigyan mo ng biblical interpretation yung pag tatago ni Soriano dahil sa dami ng kaso at utang he he he he!)

His leaving was hastened by the alarming threat to religious liberty that was supposedly assured by the constitution. It can be remembered that Bro. Eli’s TV programs, particularly the “Ang Dating Daan” and “Itanong Mo Kay Soriano were suspended for quite a number of meaningless reasons supported by vague and aimless evidence.

(meanlingless reasons? BOBO!!! HA HA HA HA)


The rest is history. What started as an en route to seek justice before the International Court of Justice, turned out to be a fruitful endeavor in converting souls, which was thought of before as something rather elusive. Thanks to God! The dream is now indeed a reality. The Biblical declaration in Matthew 10:23, “But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another:” is being fulfilled, dramatically.

(The dream is now a reality? BOBO hahahahaha....miske ubusin mo lahat ng salita sa biblia, kitang kita na naman na niloloko nyo lang sarili nyo hahahahha)


Such act does not mean cowering in fear of persecution, because discrimination among Christians will happen, to prove a Biblical pronouncement stated in Ecclesiastes, “That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.” (KJV Eccl. 3:15) What is happening is not a disadvantage to the Christians, but more of a blessing for it shows that the prophecy is near its fulfillment and the reward is at hand. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (KJV, Rom. 8:28)

Although Bro. Eli’s physical absence is saddening, the congregation must consider its better effects, and not because anyone is happy to see that he is not around. He is actually safer abroad than he is here in the Philippines. What forced him to temporarily move out is his obligation to preach the good news of salvation to all men. Instead, it is better that we support Bro. Eli in his divine mission wherever he may be.


(Kawawang mga ADD member, nilulunod na lang ang sarili sa ilusyon at katangahan!...ha ha ha haah!)

Isa pang dahilan ng pag-alis ni Soriano sa Pilipinas ay nahihirapan na siyang magsagawa dito ng mga Bible Exposition kung saan nagtatanong ang mga tao.


Marami kasi sa mga nagtatanong na bisita nila ay tinatanong siya ukol sa mga nagsusuwagan niyang pahayag na ipinalalabas sa Net 25. Hindi niya kayang sagutin ang mga ito kaya umalis na siya at sa Amerika nagsasabog ng lagim.

Pero sana umattend ang mga PIlipino (kung namamahayag nga siya dun ha) para matanong nila si Soriano ukol sa mga kontrahan niyang turo.

Liliit ang mundo para kay Soriano dahil kahit saan siya makarating susundan siya ng bangungot na bunga ng kanyang salungatang mga aral.

bka di nya alam maraming Iglesia ni Cristo dun,pwede syang puntahan ng mga ministro natin dun

Ilang bansa na ba ang pinuntahan ni soriano mula nang huli syang umalis dito sa Pilipinas? Mag-iisang taon na yan e hanggang ngayon nasa Amerika pa din! Iilang estado na ba ang pinuntahan nya para makapagdaos ng Bible Exposition doon? Meigon baka pwede mong sagutin! Hindi naman totoong pangangaral ang layunin nyan kaya umalis. "Ilabas nyo si soriano"! Wanted na sya rito! Patunayan ninyong hindi sya guilty at criminal! Harapin nya ang mga demanda sa kanya! Pareho lang kayo ng puno mong bakla meigon, yabang at takas ang naka-program sa utak.
