This part is an expose of Gospel of Manalo Doctrine #11

Q: What is Manalo's Iglesia ni Cristo sleeper cells and why is it more dangerous than the Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda sleeper cells?
A: Manalo's Iglesia ni Cristo sleeper cells is comprised of all fully established cells (committee prayer groups and congregations) established all over the world. Latest estimates of cell membership is approximately 7.5 million to 9.5 million scattered all over the globe. Its income is estimated to be from US$60 million to US$75 million annually mostly from its members. Monies are laundered and hidden through names of trusted Manalo relatives and friends and Manalo owned corporations and entities, just like how former dictator Ferdinand Marcos hid his billions of assets. Manalo's source of income are also hidden in stealth as members faithfully follow orders not to declare their Iglesia ni Cristo contributions in their personal income tax returns, a neat ploy to render income of the cult invisible from radar screens of all governments of the world.
The Iglesia sleeper cells are more dangerous because their training is not limited to just six months of the Al Qaeda's. The Iglesia training is very long term, it continues throughout their lifetime. It is regularly conducted every Thursday and Sunday and almost nightly for Iglesia officers who compose more than half of the entire membership.
Obedience to Manalo and faithfulness to the Iglesia ni Cristo cult is always stressed in the training and meeting sessions. The obedience being emphasized is the obedience until death as exemplified by Christ's obedience to God when Christ obeyed until death to the cross. The faithfullness to the cult that is being stressed is supreme over all things in this world, meaning, over any governments, over any civil and military authorities, and over any members of their own families that may interfere or become enemies of the cult.
Orders waking up the sleeper cells are constantly being tested through dry runs. The latest dry run is the faxes given to all cell leaders established all over the world to stop immediately making separate offerings to the EGM Fund and ordered every cell members to add the monies instead to their local fund offerings. Cell members complied faithfully.
Cell members were previously activated in the Philippines to support the deposed Philippine president Joseph Estrada, an Iglesia ni Cristo supported president removed from office due to complicity with some kickbacks and missing funds. Cell members immediately complied to the call to duty as ordered--to rally, demonstrate, and seize if possible Malacanan Palace of the newly installed Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. The Philippine armed forces chiefs averted the plot by being loyal to the newly installed president.
Cell members in the Philippine armed forces was also previously awakened to annihilate the constabulary detachment who were supposed to seize Manalo's arsenal of weapons in the Iglesia ni Cristo mansion in Quezon City during the Martial Law regime of Marcos. The constabulary soldiers were unaware of the cell enemy soldier members of the detachment that when they moved near the Manalo compound, instead of anticipated shots coming from the objective mansion, the ambush came from behind.
Marcos thereupon conceived of a plan to get rid of all Iglesia ni Cristo soldiers in all the armed forces of the Philippines. It was suggested to Marcos that the surest way to know who are the Iglesia ni Cristo members is to test all soldiers if they will eat cooked bloodied meat called "dinuguan." It is of public knowledge that one of the doctrines of the Iglesia ni Cristo is prohibition to eat the "dinuguan." However, before the eating test was supposed to be conducted, Manalo was alerted of the plan by secret moles placed in every levels of the government. Manalo, therefore, awakened the cell members in the armed forces with an order: "IF TOLD TO EAT "DINUGUAN", EAT IT WITHOUT HESITATION!" Marcos was therefore outwitted by Manalo. If Marcos had been successful, he would have reassigned all Iglesia soldiers to Mindanao, the southern island of the Philippines,to fight the Muslim separatists who were noted for chopping the heads of Philippine soldiers in the battlefields.
A more ambitious and sinister plots may be in the offing and may cause the awakening of the cells at any time for any objectives to be desired by Manalo. The question is not what nor how or where but WHEN? It is like a ticking time bomb already lighted but soon it will explode.

Q: What is Gospel of Manalo Doctrine No. 11 and what are its fallacies?
A: Gospel of Manalo Doctrine No. 11 follows:

"Lesson No. 11 - Brother Felix Y. Manalo: God's Messenger in the Last Days
Theme: Brother Felix Y. Manalo is God's messenger in the last days
Summary
The messenger of God (Rom.10:15 NKJV) in these last days (Isa.43:6) is Brother Felix Y. Manalo (Rev.7:2-3). It was not he who built the Church of Christ but it was Christ Himself (Mt.16:18)by virtue of the fulfillment of the prophesy (Jn.10:16).
Brother Felix Manalo was only utilized by God as His instrument to preach the pure Gospel of salvation in these last days. He was the first to preach the Church of Christ in the Philippines. His authority as God's messenger is clearly stated by various prophecies in Scriptures (Is.41:9-10; Is.46:11-13; Rev.7:2-3). Hence, it behooves man to have faith in the commissioning of Brother Felix Y. Manalo."
(Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), Erano G. Manalo, 1989, p. 45)

The Fallacies of this Manalo Gospel:

Firstly, the prophecies (Isa.41:8-9,Isa. 46:11-13,& Rev.7:2-3) mentioned in this doctrine have no fufillment verses. A prophesy that has no fulfillment confirmation (2 Pet.1:19 NKJV),is a fake. Secondly, Felix Y. Manalo can not be the messenger of God because God has already appointed His Son Jesus Christ as His messenger (Jn.5:37). Christ's reign as Messenger of God extends to the end of the age (Mt.28:20 NKJV0. If Manalo insists he is a messenger of God, he absolutely is referring to his devil god who is the father of all liars (Jn.8:44) and god of this world (2 Cor.4:4). Manalo is a messenger of the devil.

Q: What is the fallcy of Manalo's use of Romans 10:15?
A: Let us read this favorite Iglesia verse:

"And how shall they preach, unless they are sent." (Rom.10:15 NKJV)

The ones sent or messengers spoken in this verse are the Apostles who are the messengers of Christ (2 Cor.5:19-20). Manalo can not use this verse because he is not a messenger of Christ. Manalo should be asked, what kind of messenger is he:

1) Messenger of God? or
2) Messenger of Jesus Christ? or
3) Messenger of the Apostles?

Manalo better make up his mind because his doctrines have different conflicting spirits. At one doctrine, he says he is messenger of God (Doctrine #11), at another doctrine, he says he is messenger of Jesus Christ (Doctrine #10 using Jn.10:16), yet another doctrine (Doctrine #11 using Rom.10:15, 2 Cor.5:18-20), he says he is messenger of the Apostles. As pointed out in previous series, a true church is governed by only one spirit. Because Manalo has conflicting doctrinal spirits, he has consigned his members in darkness because they don't know whose messenger is he, thereby making his church, fake. Manalo keeps his members in the dark because he is a perpetrator of the works of darkness (Eph.5:11 NKJV).

What about if Manalo lies that he occupies all three titles, i.e., he is a messenger of God, and also a messenger of Christ, and at the same time a messenger of the Apostles? What do you think? The time has come to kick his butt. Why? He has just presented himself formally as the son of the devil because he has lied!

Another Manalo debauchery of Romans 10:15:

Read again how Manalo used Romans 10:15. Do you see anything peculiar? Compare it with what is written in the Scriptures. Did you catch Manalo's other tool that is in his pockets? Right you are! He keeps also some erasers and correction fluid bottles. He erased or wiped out some sentences from the verse. Let's read the verse in its entirety to know which ones are wiped out clean by the hideous hand of Manalo:

"And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" (Rom.10:15 NKJV)

Manalo has erased or wiped out more than half of the verse! Why do you think he did that? He wants to hide something, right? Of course, he is. Manalo does not want you to know that the true messenger of God preaches the gospel of peace! Which is this gospel? It is the gospel of Christ (Eph.2:14;Rom.1:16 NKJV).
What about the gospel of Manalo? Can we fairly say it is a gospel of peace? When their salvation is always held in abeyance pending some required tasks and works for the Iglesia ni Cristo, is it a gospel of peace? No, it isn't. They can not take rest! When there is required giving of yearly increasing thanksgiving offerings, is it a gospel of peace? No, it isn't! Their minds are not at peace because they worry for the increase they will have to make and if the increase is acceptable or not. Are the Iglesia members at peace when Thursdays and Sundays come and they are not yet inside the worship service? Goodness, their hearts are jumping up and down! Try to hold any Iglesia member, especially a deacon, for 24 hours on Thursday or Sunday and you will see how his face will turn from calm to panic to fright as the time of the worship service nears and he is being held back. He is scared as hell for not attending the worship service. The gospel of Manalo is not a gospel of peace, but a gospel of duties, troubles, tribulations, money giving, and hell, which is, its aftermath.

Q: What is the fallacy of Manalo's use of the Isaiah 41:9-10 prophecy?
A: The fallacy in using the Isaiah 41:9-10 prophecy is his using of a stolen prophecy. Let's read the verses to include Verse 8. Why do we start with Verse 8? It is the start of the paragraph, that's why:

"8 But you, Israel, are My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
The descendants of Abraham My friend.
9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions,
And said to you,
You are My servant,
I have chosen you and have not cast you away;
10 Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isa. 41:8-10 NKJV)

Why do you think Manalo does not want you to read Verse 8? He is again hiding something, right? Of course, he is! Manalo does not want you to know that the prophecy is owned by Israel. Verse 8 has the name of the owner of the prophecy so he has to hide it. The pronoun "you" of Verse 9 pertains to Israel as stated in Verse 8. Those who were taken from the ends of the earth (the ends are the four points of the earth, the norh, south, east, and west of Palestine) were the Israelites or Jews who were exiled to those territories by their conquerors, the Assyrians and Babylonians. When the Assyrians were in power, the Assyrians owned the territories around Palestine. When the Babylonians defeated the Assyrians, they became the new owners of those territories where the Israelites and Judeans were exiled to. When the Persians under Cyrus defeated the Babylonians, the Israelites were allowed to return back to Jerusalem (Israel).

How else does Manalo pervert Verse 9? He converts again the phrase, "ends of the earth" as a time. As was mentioned in Part 10, the phrase "ends of the earth" is not time but place because of the presence of preposition "from." If the phrase is taken as time, it will be a time that is left hanging because it has a "from" but there is no "to." Manalo is therefore hanging and dangling on a cliff. He is praying that there'll be no hurricanes to come, otherwise, he will fall from the cliff.

The "ends of the earth" version of Erano G. Manalo is a tragedy!

What is Manalo's son's version of the "ends of the earth" time? Erano G. Manalo has garbaged his father's version of time period beginning from end of 6th seal to beginning of 7th seal. Instead, Manalo's son uses Matthew 24:33 as the time when the end of the world is "at the doors." Because of such change, Manalo's son neatly and coincidentally made the appearing of the Iglesia ni Cristo concurrent with the appearing of the false prophets and false Christs (Mt.24:24). It is like Erano G. Manalo shouting to everybody, "HEY GUYS, THE TIME WHEN THE FALSE PROPHETS AND FALSE CHRISTS WILL RISE IS ALSO THE TIME WHEN THE CHURCH OF CHRIST WILL RISE!" Oops, the Manalo son has revealed the true nature of the Iglesia ni Cristo. If father Felix is alive, he would kill his son Erano for being candid that the Iglesia ni Cristo church and its ministers are the false Christs and false prophets. What a tragedy!

Q: What is the fallacy of Manalo's using of the Isaiah 46:11-13 prophecy?
A: The fallacy relates again to stealing what Manalo does not own. Let's read the Bible version that Manalo strictly prohibits the indoctrinees and members from reading. Why do you think Manalo prohibits this version? Probably, he is hiding something. Let's read:

"I will call that swift bird of prey from the east--that man Cyrus from far away. And he will come and do my bidding, I have said I would do it and I will. Listen to me, you stubborn, evil men! For I am offering you my deliverance; not in the distant future, but right now! I am ready to save you, and I will restore Jerusalem, and Israel, who is my glory." (Isa. 46:11-13 Living Bible)

It is Cyrus who is the bird of prey! Manalo has stolen the crown title of King Cyrus! Now, we know why Manalo wanted to burn this verse from the Living Bible. We also know the reason why Manalo does not want any indoctrinees, or any members, or any ministers, or anyone on earth, to look and read this verse. Not even to touch or smell it. It is because the title, bird of prey, which Manalo claims it's him, is actually King Cyrus of Persia. Cyrus is the true symbolic bird of prey from the east. Persia or Iran is located far east of Palestine. Even in Today's English Version, the bird of prey from the east is Cyrus by following the footnotes to the verses. All other different translations of the Bible from Chapter 44 through Chapter 48, the names of Cyrus are indelibly written.

What about Manalo? What kind of bird is he? He is referred to by the Bible as the unclean and hated bird (Rev.18:2 NKJV). Manalo is the hated bird who preys on members. Manalo is also a bird of pray--always instructing his converts to pray always (devotional prayers, family prayers, committee prayers, etc.)so that when they close their eyes, he can snatch their monies and lustfully touch their moist and tender bodies, their minds, their hearts, and souls. The uniform that Manalo furnished his converts is like the standard hospital apron transparent attire without underwears.

Q: What are the other deceptions incorporated in Doctrine No. 11?

(Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), Erano G. Manalo, 1989, p.46-48)

Explanations of the doctrine deceptions:

This doctrine has just made a mockery of Doctrine #1 which teaches it is only the Bible that is the basis of the faith of the Iglesia ni Cristo. The Bible is no longer the authority. It is now Felix Y. Manalo the authority. According to this doctrine, Manalo is the only one given the mystery of the Bible. According also to this doctrine, absolutely, no one will understand the Bible except if it is taught by Felix Y. Manalo.

Question and Answer #1:

Is it really that the Bible is hidden in mystery? Or, is it only Manalo who is hiding it? Let's read the verse to include Verse 26:

"25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began
26 but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandments of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith--" (Rom.16:25-26 NKJV)

The Bible is secret only if Verse 25 is to be read. And that is the deception of Manalo. However, if we continue to read to the next verse, (we hope Manalo will not get mad)which is Verse 26, the secrets of the Bible is no longer a secret. It is now made known to all nations! Who commanded that the mystery of the Bible be made known? It is God Himself! And here comes the disobedient honcho telling us it is still a secret. Manalo, therefore, wants to control his members so that they will always be dependent on him for their salvation.

Not only the secrets of the Bible was made know to all nations, but also made known to the following :

1. The saints....Col.1:26 NKJV
2. The Apostles...1 Cor.2:10;Ml 4:11 NKJV
3. The Apostle Paul...Eph.3:3 NKJV
4. The prophets...Eph.3:5 NKJV

Is Felix Y. Manalo given the mystery of the Bible?

He claims he is. Is it true? Let's read from the teaching of Lord Jesus Christ:

"And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outsidde, all things come in parables, so that
Seeing they may see and not perceive,
And hearing they may hear and not understand;
Lest they should turn,
And their sins be forgiven them,'" (Mk.4:11-12 NKJV)

The Apostles were primarily given the mystery. But those who are outside are not. Which outside is this? Is Manalo included in these people who are considered outsiders who were denied the knowledge of the Bible mystery? Let's read:

"But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie." (Rev.22:15 NKJV)

Manalo is included as one of the outsiders. Manalo loves very much to practice lies. Many lies of Manalo have already been discovered. If we will add to that his immorality of taking advantage of women members of the Iglesia ni Cristo, such as what had happened to rape victim Rosita Trillanes and a hosts of other married Iglesia women who have fallen to Manalo's advice that it is pleasing in the eyes of God to give their bodies to him, it behooves us to conclude that Manalo is a dog and an outsider.

Question and Answer #2:

This question and answer is based on the assumption that Felix Y. Manalo is a legitimate messenger of God. The fact, however, is that Manalo is neither a legitimate or illegitimate messenger of God. He is actually an IMPOSTOR messenger of God. He has robbed the true owner of the Messenger of God title who is no other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Being a robber as he is and denied of the mystery of the Bible, can Manalo if he will study the Bible be able to come to the knowledge of the truth? Let's read:

"always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." ((2 Tim.3:7 NKJV)

No matter how much Manalo and his bunch of ministers will study the Bible, they can't be able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Why is it so? Because they were blinded by God (Mk.4:12). Yes, they have eyes that could see, but they can't perceive what they see. What is one example? They have been reading John 17:3 thousand times, but still they could not perceive that Jesus Christ is the messenger of God. This is one of the requirements for attaining eternal life. His ministers and his members fight teeth and nails that Felix Y. Manalo is the messenger of God.

Question and Answer #3:

This question and answer is still under the assumption that Felix Y. Manalo is legitimate messenger of God. Being a false messenger as he is because he is an impostor, this verse properly is applicable to Manalo:

"as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures." (2 Pet.3:16 NKJV)

Manalo has been twisting the Scriptures because he could not understand them. What are some of the verses he twisted? One is the voluntary gathering (Heb.10:24-25) that is being twisted as a forced or compulsory gathering by appending to it a part from another paragraph (Heb.10:26-27) Manalo thought that it is a continuation of Heb. 10:25. This verses, Heb. 10:26-27, is on another paragraph because it has a different topic, which is, Willful Sinning.
Which is another Manalo twisting? The will of God in Mt.7:21 is being twisted as the mystery will of Eph.1:9-10, and because of it Manalo is requiring that all things on earth and heaven must be forced to become Iglesia ni Cristo members, resulting in blaspheming those in heaven such as the angels of heaven whom Manalo is forcing to be converted as Iglesia members.
There is also the twisting of Col.3:15 to become thanksgiving with monies when there is no monies needed to give thanks to God but only the fruits of our lips giving thanks to His name (Heb.13:15 NKJV).
The twisting of the Scriptures had destroyed the lives of Iglesia members giving their monies to be pocketed only by Manalo. The twisting also resulted in the destruction of the salvation of members because what they received was not the gospel of Christ but the gospel of Manalo. Only the gospel of Christ has the power of salvation (Rom.1:16 NKJV).

Question and Answeer #4:

Is Felix Y. Manalo and his bunch of ministers the bearers of the seal and the sealers? Let's read Manalo's prophecy basis:

"Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."
(Rev.7:2-3 NKJV)

Who are these angels that have the seal of the living God? Is it Felix Y. Manalo and his ministers? Because we already know that there are only two groups of people that will enter heaven, namely the Jews (Rev.7:1-8) and the Gentiles (Rev.7:9-17), the angels could not be Felix Manalo and his ministers. Why? Felix and his ministers seals only his Iglesia members who are his third group. It is absurd that Manalo will seal the Jews. Manalo and his ministers cannot seal also the Gentiles. If they do that, who will seal the Iglesia members?
Who then are these angels? If we will go to the other corollary or related verses (corollary verses are verses that basically says the same thing, supports, clarify, or explain further the verses under consideration), which is on Chapter 14 of the Revelation, we can read that these angels are heavenly angels (Rev.14:6). Comparing Chapter 7 with Chapter 14, we can see that the latter chapter has a third group immediately following the Jews (Rev.14:1-5) and the Gentiles (Rev.14:6-7). Surprisingly, this third group (Rev.14:8-11) will be punished! Uh oh, trouble for Manalo's third group. There is another clue of this third group. And this clue is that this third group were also sealed with a mark on their foreheads or on their hands. That's it! Manalo and his ministers were the sealers of this third group. Oh my, what a turn of the events. The Scriptures has shown us the sealing being done by Manalo and his bunch of ministers. They are sealing the third Iglesia ni Cristo group to be punished on Judgment Day!
What follows after the sealing by the heavenly angels of heaven the two groups Jews and Gentiles, and the sealing also by angel Manalo of his third group, is harvest time. The Lord Jesus Christ together with His heavenly angels have sickles in their hands ready and did the harvesting (REv.14:14-20).
And we know what will happen on harvest time. The wheat and the tares will be harvested. What will happen to the tares or weeds? They will be gathered and bundled to be burned (Mt.13:30). What about the wheat? The wheat are the sons of the kingdom. They were the seeds planted by Christ. They will go to heaven or the Holy City or the New Jerusalem. The tares are the sons of the devil. How do the harvesting angels know which are the sons of God and the sons of the devil? Folks, that is the purpose of the seal. The angels know who have the seal of God and who have the seal of the devil.

Question and Answer #5:

There is no dispute that the word angel is messenger or one who is sent (Lk.1:19). However, there are many kinds of angels. There are heavenly angels (Rev.5:11). There are also fallen angels (Rev.12:9)such as Manalo's father. There are also human angels such as Bishops of churches and ambassadors, and messenger couriers riding their scooters.

Question and Answer #6:

There is no dispute also that the Bishops of churches are human angels (Rev.2:1 Douay). Hey, why does Manalo uses the Catholic's Bible version? He is not supposed to do so considering how much he hates the Catholic priests and Popes. What is this? Kissing the palms of the priests and Popes just because he has to use the Catholic Bible version? What a hypocrite mannerism!

Question and Answer #7:

Is sealing the preaching of the gospel? Let's read Manalo's cited verses:

"In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also, after having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory." (Eph.1:13-14 NKJV)

Preaching the gospel is not sealing. But believing is. The children of God are sealed only after having believed. Who do the actual sealing? The angels do the sealing (Rev.7:3)but of course under the supervision of the Holy Spirit (Eph.4:30 NKJV).

What is the other function of the angels? They do the preaching of the everlasting gospel to humans who are given mercies of salvation. (Rev.14:6). In other words, Manalo and his ministers have become jobless. The angels of heaven are the ones in charge of preaching the gospel.

Question and Answer #8:

The quality and distinctiveness of God's messenger is the ministry of reconciliation? Hey, the verses 2 Cor. 5:18-20 is talking about the messenger Apostles. Apostles are not messengers of God. They are messengers of Christ! Manalo is trying to fit his body to a group he does not belong. Get out! Out! Out! Only messengers of Christ have the ministry of reconciliation.

Do we still need somebody (such as Manalo) now that the Apostles and Christ's disciples are all dead? What do you think? Manalo is knocking at the door, shouting, "Let me in! I want to preach to you the Church of Christ or Iglesia ni Cristo, the true church!" What can you do in this instance? What you can do now that there is a pervert knocking at the door, is to call the police to report there is someone of disorderly conduct trying to disturb the peace of your home.

No, we don't need Manalo because the Apostles are not dead! That's right. They are alive not dead. Who says this? It's a teaching of Apostle Paul. The spirit of Apostle Paul is with us through his writings in the Holy Scriptures. But what about his person? His person is in the Lord, alive. It is the teaching of Apostle Paul that at any time when you are a saint, you can be either absent or present in the Lord. Let's read the teaching:

"So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord, For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." (2 Cor.5:6-8 NKJV)

That's it. Apostle Paul is presently alive and present in the Lord. Before, when he was still on earth before he was murdered by Emperor Nero in 67 A.D., he was present in the body but absent from the Lord. So, are saints and children of God. When the saints rest, they will be carried by angels to be present with Christ in Paradise.

Okey then, because the Apostles are alive in their writings, in their spirits, and in their persons, we don't need Manalo. But who will teach us? God, the Father will teach us (Jn.6:45 NKJV). And the Holy Spirit will also teach us (Jn.14:26 NKJV). What about Christ? Christ is omniscient. Any two or three gathered in His name, He is with them (Mt.18:20). Therefore, the Trinity God is always with the saints. How about the sinners such as the Iglesia ni Cristo members? The Iglesia members are habitual sinners, right? Who is going to teach them? There is what we call as evil trinity in the Bible, which is, an imitation of the Godhead Trinity. This evil trinity is composed of the false prophet, the beast, and the devil. These three compositions of the evil trinity will be punished in the lake of fire (Rev.20:10 NKJV).
Therefore, the evil trinity are the teachers of Iglesia members. One of the evil trinity we know already from Part 10 of the series.

Question and Answer #9:

This had been taken up already in Part 10. John 13:20 is the rule laid down by Christ on proper connecting with God, i.e., from God, to God's messenger Christ, to Christ's messenger Apostles, to people. Explained as follows: If you received Christ's messenger Apostles, you will have received God's messenger Christ, and upon receiving God's messenger Christ, you will have received God.

What about Manalo?

What happens if we receive Manalo? This is the order for Manalo: His devil father god sent devil's messenger Manalo while Devil's messenger Manalo sent his Iglesia ministers.
Therefore, the indoctrinees receiving the Iglesia ministers, receive Manalo who is the devil's messenger, and after having received Manalo, the indoctrinees have then received the one who sent Manalo. Gues who? The devil who is the god of this world.

What about if the indoctrinees reject Manalo using Lk.10:16? Well, if the indoctrinees reject the ministers of Manalo, they will have rejected Manalo, and in turn, the indoctrinees will have rejected the devil who sent Manalo. The devil will cry for this. Probably, the devil will get mad at Manalo's son and will order him to refine his deception methods.

Question and Answer #10:

Are we to have fellowship with the (devil's) messenger Manalo and with the Church of Christ administration of Erano G. Manalo? Manalo says, we should. Let's read the basis of Manalo:

"that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ." (1 Jn.1:3 NKJV)

Manalo is truly a worker of darkness. The verse is about fellowship with the Apostles, but here he is inserting his vile body with the Apostles. Why, did Manalo had seen and heard together with the Apostles the Lord Jesus Christ? Manalo should be ashamed of himself. The Apostles would not want to be near Manalo. Why? Manalo is a pervert who says those who wear long gowns are savage wolves in sheep's clothing. The Apostles all wear long gowns.

And another thing, what is this business of having fellowship with the Church of Christ administration of EGM got to do with the verse? Did the verse say that? No! Never. This is extreme overextension of the verse.

The verse is about fellowshipping with the Apostles. It is corollary to Jn.13:20. Shall we repeat this? GOD to CHRIST to APOSTLES to PEOPLE. And going up, PEOPLE to APOSTLES to CHRIST to GOD.

How about fellowshipping with Manalo? This is the order: DEVIL to MANALO to INC MINISTERS to INDOCTRINEES. Going up will be: INDOCTRINEES to INC MINISTERS to MANALO to DEVIL.

Question and Answer #11:

Messenger must snatch Catholics and Protestants from fire using Jude 1:23? Let's read the verse:

"but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garments defiled by the flesh." (Jude 1:23 NKJV)

Manalo is having dreams. There is no Catholics or Protestants in the verse, nor south or north. The verse is saving of those who have defiled their garments! What does dirty garments represents? Let's read:

"Now Joshua was clothed with filty garments, and was standing before the Angel. Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him, He said, "See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and will clothe you with rich robes." (Zech.3:3-4 NKJV)

Dirty or filthy garments represents iniquity. While those wearing white or clean garments represents children of God (Rev.3:5). Therefore, those who must be saved from fire are those children of God who dirtied their garments or have done iniquities. What is the rule of God for his children who had done iniquities?

"Nevertheless, the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (2 Tim.2:19 NKJV)

The rule is that children of God who had done iniquities must depart from it.

Therefore, Jude 1:23 verse is not about saving from fire the Catholics and Protestants, but saving believers or children of God if they are found in iniquities by advising them to depart from it. The fire that children of God are to be saved from is the chastening fire from God. God loves his children so he chatens them (Heb.12:6-7). God's salvation is irrevocable (Rom.11:29 NKJV). Why is Manalo teaching that Iglesia members must go out to get converts so that they will be saved from fire, is a lie? Itis a lie because if God adjudged someone to be burned, nobody on earth can save that person. Can anybody fight God? Not even the devil can save himself from the wrath of God.

Sin is no longer a hindrance for salvation because we are no longer under the law of sin but under grace (Rom.6:14 NKJV). Starting when? Starting when Christ paid for the sins of the whole world (1 Jn.2:2 NKJV)when He died on the cross (Rom.5:18 NKJV).

By the way, why does Manalo wants to save only the Christians? He is, therefore, not a Christian, right? Guess what is he? Manalo is a NAILIVED written backwards. Why does not Manalo want to save the Muslims, the Buddhists, and the Hindus? He has yet to invent Iglesia doctrines to attack the faiths of these people, that's why.

Why do believers of Manalo constantly sin?

Iglesia ni Cristo members constantly sin because they are children of the devil. Let's read this:

"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)

The devil has been sinning from the beginning. So also his children. Iglesia members are habitual sinners. What is the Bible's term for habitual sinners?

"having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have been trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children." (2 Pet.2:14 NKJV)

They cannot cease from sin. They are sin addicts. That's why they are called accursed children. They have also a heart trained in covetous practices. Which is this covetous practices? It is idolatry (Col.3:5)to their Church of Christ idol. What is the training about mentioned by the verse? Iglesia members are being trained constantly during their forced gatherings. Their training is synonymous to the conditioning of their minds. Remember Classical Conditioning brought out in earlier series? Therefore, the training is brainwashing.
