IGLESIA NI CRISTO DOCTRINES EXPOSED, PART 17 ( 3 OF 3 )

This expose concludes Part 17 of the Iglesia doctrine.

Heresies - This is Manalo's heresy that Israel is no longer the people of God, and the heresy that all the first century Christians were deceived by the Catholic wolves or were killed, hence the need for a third group, which is, the Iglesia cult established by Manalo. It is also the heresy that Manalo is the worm Jacob, or Manalo is the ravenous bird. The greatest heresy is the creation by Manalo of a third group called the Iglesia ni Cristo(Church of Christ of FYM)that has the promise of salvation.

Envy - Manalo is envious of any ministers getting rich. That is why he pays them with rubber monies. By turning his ministers into rats he hopes not one of them will have the resources to bolt out from the Iglesia prison. So also are all Iglesia members. Manalo wants them to surrender their monies so that if they become financially distressed they will be dependent on their Iglesia ni Cristo idol for help.

Murders - Manalo has murdered all Iglesia ni Cristo converts. How did Manalo murdered Iglesia members? He has poisoned their minds with lies about salvation. Salvation is only through Jesus Christ (Acts 4:1-12) but Manalo lied that it is through his Church of Christ or Iglesia ni Cristo where there is salvation. Do you think they will be saved if they believed a lie? No! Therefore, they were murdered. Let us bear in mind that the devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour (1 Pet.5:8 NKJV). What does the devil always do to deceive his preys? That right, he lies (Jn.8:44).

Drunkenness - Drunkenness is not only being drunk with wine. Drunkenness includes being drunk with power. Manalo does not want any ministers who do not have the Manalo surname become the bosses in the Iglesia cult. Founder Felix has appointed his son Erano to be his successor. Erano, for his part, appointed his son Eduardo, to be his deputy or successor. Erano is also in the process of replacing non Manalo minister supervisors with newly trained Manalo grandsons and nephews who are fresh graduates from his evangelical school to supervise all areas of responsibilities. The Manalo cult empire will be forever be ruled by a Manalo heir of the religious/financial empire. Senior ministers will from henceforth bow to their junior Manalo minister supervisors.

Revelries - Manalo is so proud of his Iglesia cult's present stature. Politicians bow their heads to him every voting season. Manalo's block voting is decisive and is a guarantee of being elected in case voters are split evenly over two or three candidates vying for the same office. Manalo revel the fact that he can cause any bank in the Philippines to bankcruptcy only by the use of its huge cash deposits. Any bank that accepts the Iglesia deposits make Manalo the boss of such bank and henceforth can not displease the Iglesia leader on whatever he wants or else, he withdraws his billions of deposits and boom, the bank's liquidity suffers and closes its doors from its customers wanting to withdraw their monies.

On Q&A #8 - People must bear fruits of repentance before becoming Iglesia members? Let's read Manalo's basis:

"Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance...And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." (Mt.3:8,10 NKJV)

The verse pertains to bearing fruits WORTHY of repentance. It is never about membership in the Church of Christ of FYM. The repentances of the Pharisees and the Saduccees including its present day remnant Iglesia ni Cristo cult founded by Manalo are not worthy. Why are they not worthy? Because what they bear are bad fruits which are obeying doctrines and commandments of men. Who are these men? These are the Manalo men and their trained ministers or graduates of their evangelical school. Why are they not worthy? They are not worthy because the fruits that they teach are different kinds of fruits. Why different kinds fruits? The fruits that they teach are Convert fruits, Money fruits, and Work fruits. These fruits are bad fruits because they are fruits of the flesh. According to the Bible the fruits to bear are good fruits (Verse 3:10). Which are these good fruits? They are the fruits of the Spirit which are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal.5:22-23 NKJV). What symbolize trees that must bear fruits of the Spirit? The trees symbolize the people of God (Is.61:3). Therefore, the people of God must bear good fruits which are the fruits of the Spirit and upon doing so, they become worthy of repentance provided in Matthews 3:8,10.

On Q&A #9 - Iglesia members must not hide their sins but must confess them to God? Let's read Manalo's basis:

"I acknowled my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden,
I said, "I will confess my transgressios to the Lord,"
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin." (Ps.32:5 NKJV)

This verse is being perverted by Manalo. How? By teaching there is no end to the commissions and confessions of sins. Confessions of sins is only done once and forgiveness is only done once. Why? Because Christ only died once (Heb.10:10). Can Jesus Christ die a second time or can He die for you once again? No more.

The verse says iniquity must not be hidden. How about Manalo? He had been hiding his iniquities of sexual misconducts against Iglesia females. He had also hidden his maltreatment and physical abuses of his wife. His wife had been a battered woman.

On Q&A #10 - To prove desire to return to God is to abandon evil ways? Let's read the verse:

"Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon." (Is.55:7 NKJV)

Manalo is perverting the verse. The verse is not about returning to the Church of Christ. Is is about returning to the Lord. The verse is also not about pardoning the Church of Christ members but pardoning the ones whom God has given mercies. Salvation is only through the mercy of God. It could not be worked upon (Eph.2:8) nor could be attained by membership in the Church of Christ of Manalo ( INC Doctrine #17).

ON Q&A #11 - The blessings for those who repent or confess their sins is forigiveness and cleansing by God? Let's read this basis of Manalo:

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 Jn.1:9 NKJV)

The verse pertains only to those who have fellowship with the Apostles (Verse 3) who are believers of Jesus Christ (Rom.1:16). Only those given mercies by God will be forgiven (Rom.9:15). Children of God do not sin (1 Jn.3:9). In contrast, the children of the devil such as the members of the Iglesia ni Cristo are habitual sinners (1 Jn.3:8). They always confess their sins day in and day out. Watch them in their gatherings when they pray. Do you think children of the devil who are habitual sinners will be forgiven? No! They are said to be willfull sinners and there is no more remedy except the fire that will consume God's adversaries (Heb.10:26-27). The devil and his converts are God's adversaries.

ON Q&A #12 - No matter how grave are the sins can be forgiven by God? Let's read the verse being perverted:

"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord,
Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool." (Is.1:18 NKJV)

This verse pertains to the people of Israel (Is.1:3). It does not pertain to habitual sinners (Verse 16). Moreover, the chapter precludes the Iglesia ni Cristo cult. Why? Let's read Verse 12 & 13 to know why:

"When you come to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
Bring no more futile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me,
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies--
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting." (Is.1:13-14 NKJV)

Who are these people spoken by the verse that have hand requirement? Remember the mark of the hand given by the devil to the Iglesia members? This is the giving of thanksgiving monies to Manalo. According to God, such requirement of the hand is trampling of His courts. Also, such bringing of offerings or sacrifies are only futile. God ordered to bring no more such futile sacrifies. Imagine, Manalo has been requiring his members to bring their thanksgiving offerings twice a year and requiring many kinds of offerings here and there when it is commanded by God not to bring such futile sacrifices?

What is the incense spoken by the verse that is an abomination to God? It is the Iglesia ni Cristo's required seven days devotional prayers. Prayers are incense to God (Rev.8:4). Why is the Iglesia ni Cristo's seven days devotional prayers incense an abomination to God? Because God did not command such devotional prayers. It is only a commandment of men--these men are no other than Felix Manalo, his son, Erano, and all his trained ministers.

What are the New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies mentioned by the verse that are being practiced by the Church of Christ of Manalo? The New Moon of the Iglesia ni Cristo is every July 27. Every year on this Moon or date, the Iglesia ni Cristo celebrates the founding of the cult by Felix Y. Manalo by offering their idol a worship service complete with thanksgiving monies. The other Moon is the third Sunday of each year. What is this Moon? This is the year end thanksgiving moon in which the members are required to attend the so-called Thanksgiving Worship Service wherein each one, adult and babies, rich and poor, bring their thanksgiving envelopes stuffed with monies. What about the Sabbaths? Well, because the worship of the cult is not a worship to God but a worship of the devil, Manalo does not give importance to the appointment with their purported God. Manalo can change their worship days from Sundays to Saturdays if and when there are important Grand Evangelical Missions, or sports fests, or meetings of their ministers.

What about the calling of assemblies as mentioned by the verse? Guess what are these? These are the Iglesia's forced worship services on Thursdays and Sundays, forced committee prayers, forced family hour prayers, forced organizational meetings.

ON Q&Q #13 - God's warning to indoctrinees who refuse to lead a new life is that they will be annihilated? Let's read Manalo's basis:

"If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land,
But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword,"
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken." (Is.1:19-20 NKJV)

The verses do not pertain to the indoctrinees. It pertains to Judah or Israel (See Verse 3 of the Chapter). Manalo has commandeered the words of God for the evil purpose of bringing the indoctrinees to soul destruction. This is similar to the way Bin Laden's terrorists commandeering the American airplanes to crash into the World Trade Center buildings of New York that had caused destruction.
