(Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia ni Cristo..,P.82)

EXPLANATION OF MANALO'S DECEPTIONS:

On 1 Cor.6:8 - Don't defraud any INC member?

"No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren." -1 Cor.6:8 NKJV

Manalo has the nerve to teach his members not to cheat and not to defraud when he himself is practising cheating and defrauding of his cult members! Is it not cheating the members when you say the Corinthians deposited monies for one year for their thanksgivings when they didn't? Is it not cheating to require infants and toddlers to give offerings when they could not purpose in their hearts to give? Is it not defrauding to require the poor to contribute when only the rich are required? Is it not defrauding to say the thanksgiving monies are used for construction of houses of worships when they are being used for building housing projects for the Church Administration inner circle elites, buying and building hospitals, radio stations, schools, and other businesses?

Did the administration of the Apostles cheated or defrauded anyone the way Manalo is defrauding and cheating his members? Let's read:

"Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one." -2 Cor.7:2 NKJV

The Apostles have not cheated nor defrauded anyone. Therefore, we can see the difference between the Apostles and the cheaters Felix & Erano Manalo. What is the rebuke of the Apostle Paul to these two Iglesia cheaters? Let's read:

"You therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man not steal, do you steal? You who say, "Do not commit adultery," do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through teaching the law?" -Rom.2:21-23 NKJV

Therefore, we should not listen to Felix and Erano Manalo because they are teachers who don't teach themselves. They are teaching not to steal, not to commit adultery, abhor idols, and boasting in God's law when they themselves are cheaters, adulterers, robbers of temples, and breakers of God's laws.

On 1 Cor.6:6 - INC members forbidden to sue in civil courts?

"Instead, one Christian goes to court against another and lets unbelievers judge the case." -1 Cor.6:6 TEV

Manalo has commandeered the verse that does not apply to his Iglesia cult.Who are the true believers and true unbelievers? The true believers are those who believe the gospel of Christ (Rom.1:16-17).If you believe another gospel such as the Gospel of Manalo, are you a true believer? No! You become the true unbeliever. According to the gospel of Christ, Christ commanded to believe in Him and in His Father(Jn.14:1). Did the Iglesia cult members followed this command? No! They followed the command of another person by the name of Felix Y. Manalo. They rather believed Felix Manalo rather than believing Jesus Christ.

True Context of 1 Cor.6:6 -

Christians whether in the civil courts or practicing Christians in a fellowship of Christians are able to judge whether in this earth or in the second earth to come. As a matter of fact, Christians will judge angels in the coming reign of the Christians (1 Cor.6:3). And the Christians or saints will also judge the world (1 Cor.6:2). Going to civil courts is not prohibited. Does the Lord Jesus Christ sanction going to the civil court? Absolutely! Let's read:

"Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny." -Mt.5:25-26 NKJV

Is it now clear that Lord Jesus permits or sanctions going to the civil courts? Civil courts are established to resolve civil conflicts between adversaries in accordance with the laws of the land. Judges are appointed by the government. Laws of the land are promulgated by the government. And the government is eatablished for the good of the people. Manalo's teaching of forbidding his cult members from going to the courts (both civil and criminal) makes the Iglesia ni Cristo a separate sovereign state because it does not recognize the sovereign authority of the land.

What can Erano's ministers do to resolve conflicts? The most his ministers can do is advise the accuser brother/sister to forgive the accused while advising the accused to not do it again. Is there justice in this? No. Let's have an example. Supposing Feljun in tears borrowed P10,000 from Rommel and later on, Rommel in tears, cannot collect from Feljun and goes to the INC Administration to have the conflict settled, what is sure to happen? Erano will admonish Rommel to forgive Feljun. Erano will also advise Feljun not to do again his bad habit. What kind of justice is this? There is no justice! But usually, the wrongs done to a brother in the INC is made more wrong by Erano, the Church Administrator. How? Erano will instruct his minister to get some deacons and deaconesses who could pay the debt of Feljun. "Hey you, Deacon Dick and Deaconess Duck, produce P10,000 in order to pay the debt of Feljun, otherwise, Rommel will get cold in his faith. By the way, Deacon Dick and Deaconess Duck, those who help a disciple, do it for Christ." The Manalo administrator is truly a messenger of darkness perpetrating fraud on his cult members and has no shame of using Christ for his works of iniquity.

On 1 Cor. 6:4 - Wrongs of brethren to be settled by the INC Administration?

"If such matters come up, are you going to take them to be settled by people who have no standing in the church?" -1 Cor.6:4 TEV

The verse simply says the matter shall be settled by qualified Christians. The word "church" (not capitalized) pertains to fellowship of believers of Christ who are Christians. Every believer of Christ is a church or temple of God.

If all the wrongs done by INC members are settled by the INC Church Administration, it is not only a transgression of God's law, but also, a violation of the law of the land. Why is it a transgression of God's law? Because it is a commandment of God to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's (Mt.22:21). If citizens of the land take the law into their hands, what is the government for? Civil and criminal courts are institutions of the government. Kings and rulers of governments are appointed by God. Let's read this:

"Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil." -Rom.13:1-3 NKJV

Therefore, all people should obey the governing authorities for they are appointed by God. If God does not want anymore the governing authority, He will replace it. Who are the present governing authorities? They are the governments that are in power under the leaderships of the Kings, Presidents, and Prime Ministers. For example, the United States has President George W. Bush. In the Philippines, the government is under the leadership of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

What would have happened if the rape committed by Felix Y. Manalo was decided and settled by the INC Administration? Who do you think will win if Felix Y. Manalo, the INC Administrator, becomes the ultimate judge on the rape case of People for Rosita Trillanes versus Felix Y. Manalo?

On Matthew 18:15 - Go to the offending brother and talk to him privately?

"If your brother sins against you, go to him and show him his fault. But do it privately, just between yourselves. If he listens to you, you have won your brother back." -Mt.18:15 TEV

Felix Y. Manalo loves this verse very much. The many women he had raped will be obliged to talk to him privately about the rapes. Oh, what a thrill for Felix to have the women talk to him privately. The private talk scene will play this way:

ROSITA: "Sir, you have punched me into unconsciousness and raped me, you are truly an evil person!"
FYM: "Hold your emotions, Rosita, relax. There's nothing wrong with what I've done. Don't you know we have to obey God's commands? God commanded in Hebrews 13:16 RSV to share what we have. Let's read this verse: "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." Therefore, Rosita, to share what we have are pleasing to God. What do you have that you can share? You have the body that can turn God's messengers hot and erect, if you know what I mean. You are not the only one who had shared their bodies. A lot of women even wives of ministers and officers of our Church had shared theirs. What you have done, Rosita, and the other women of our Church, are pleasing to the Lord. Are you not happy that the Lord is happy and pleased? Just a reminder, Rosita, keep the incident secret, okay? Don't tell anyone including the sharing by the other sisters, and all will be fine. We do not want our brethren in the Church to have divisions. God does not want divisions but must be united always in our service to God. Remember what had happened to Sister Basilia Santos of Paco when she divulged I was the father of her two children. She was punished by God! She met her untimely death. So, therefore, Rosita, sharing our body is an obligation. God wants his messengers like King Solomon and me to be happy, and He gave them many wives and concubines. And you are one of them, Rosita. Aren't you glad to be in service to the Lord? So, therefore, Rosita, tell me, will you remain quiet of what had happened? God will bless you, Rosita, for being such obedient and faithful servant of our Lord God. Rosita, before we end our private conversation, let's pray to God so that God will remove all your doubts about His commandments."

Q. What are the other deception segments of Gospel of Manalo Doctrine #20?
A. The following are the continuing segments of deceptions by Manalo:

#15."Q. What should be done if he refuses to hear us?
A. Bring one or two others as witnesses...Mt.18:16 TEV
Instruction: If he or she does not listen to you, you may bring an elder or two in the Church to serve as witnesses in your talk and who will reconcile you with him or her. Do this than going to court at once."
#16."Q. Should he or she refuse to listen, what should be done?
A. Tell it to the Church, and if he or she still refuses to be reconciled, bring the matter to the Church Administration. If he or she still refuses to listen to the Church Administration, Christ tells us to regard him or her as a Gentile."
#17. "Q. Who are referred to as "Gentiles"?
A. The Gentiles are separated from Christ...Eph.2:11(a),12
Conclusion: Therefore, he or she who refuses to be reconciled with his or her brethren in the Church inspite of the mediation of the Church Administration will be expelled from the Church."
#18. "Q. What now becomes the obligation of the brethren in the Church who encounter conflict with each other?
A. Be reconciled at once...Mt.5:23-26 RSV
Instruction: We should not allow ourselves to go on harboring hatred or anger against others. It does not mean we should not attend the worship services while we are still angry with others but that we should be reconciled at once with them."
#19. "Q. How should those who are angry with each other reconcile?
A. Forgive each other...Eph.4:32"
(Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia ni Cristo...,pp.82-83)

EXPLANATION OF THE DECEPTIONS OF MANALO -

On Matthew 18:16 - Bring one or two deacons/deaconesses as witnesses?

"But if he will not listen to you, take one or two other persons with you, so that 'every accusation may be upheld by the testimony of two or more witnesses,' as the scripture says." -Mt.18:16 TEV

Continuing the private talks between rape victim, Rosita Trillanes and Felix Y. Manalo, the rapist, supposing Felix does not listen to Rosita's accusations? The next step in the Iglesia doctrine is to bring one or two deacons or deaconesses to become witnesses to the private talks between Rosita and Felix. Let's go to the scene:

ROSITA: "Sir, as instructed by the Bible, I have brought two witnesses to our conversation.
DEACONESS#1: "Good morning, Sir. We were invited by Rosita to become witnesses."
DEACONESS#2: "That's right, Sir. What seems to be the problem?"
FYM: "Good morning, Sisters. I"m glad you came to help Sis. Rosita cope with her feelings about me. The conflict concerns love of brotherhood and sharing what we have."
DEACONESS#1: "Brother, it is God's doctrine to love each other."
DEACONESS#2: "Brother, when we have shared what we have the last time, it was the most exciting feeling. I know it is my duty to share what I have. With humbleness, I have shared what I have. I hope you were pleased the way others have pleased you, brother Sir."
FYM: "Praise the Lord, Sister. Thank you Sister for reaching the maturity of faith. There are still brethren who are weak in the faith, such as Rosita. How can I convince her?"
DEACONESS#1: "Leave it to us, Brother, the task of convincing Rosita erase her doubts."
DEACONESS#2: "Rosita, the first time, we felt the same way like you. But, after doing devotional prayers nightly in the chapel as advised by our loving God's messenger, God had granted mercy on us and softened our hearts to become submissive to His will."

On Matthew 18:17 - If not satisfied with two witnesses, tell it to the Church Administration?

"If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector." -Mt.18:17 RSV

The word "church" was written as a common noun, therefore, it should not be perverted as Church of Christ Administration. The context of the word "church" is assembly of believers. There can be no church except if the believers are assembled together.

Let's continue the scene after Rosita was not satisfied with the two witnesses:

ROSITA: "I am sorry, I can't forget what Bro. Felix Y. Manalo had done to me."
DEACONESS#1: "Your last step is to bring your case to the Church Administration."
DEACONESS#2: "That's right. Remember, the Church Administration is the last resort. If you don't stll listen, you will be expelled from the Church. You will be considered a Gentile, separated from God, and no more chance of salvation. Let's go now to the Church Administration."
ROSITA: "Th..this is the Church Administration? How come it is Felix Y. Manalo? Where are the Iglesia ni Cristo ministers?"
DEACONESS#1: "He is the Church Administrator."
DEACONESS#2: "Since, he is the chief, he has the option of presiding the case."
FYM: "Silence everyone! Let the case proceedings start. Rosita, you allege I have done something improper against you, please present your proofs or any witnesses who have seen my improper conduct."
ROSITA: "Sir, I don't have any proof or witnesses to the incident because we were the only two individuals present in your office on that fateful day."
FYM: "Hmmp! You have no proofs? Then, I am throwing out your complaint. For your improper conduct, you will be punished for making false accusation. But I will be lenient. I will not expel you from the Iglesia ni Cristo. Instead, I will give you the highest gift or duty a sister can have in our beloved Church----I am recommending you...to become a new deaconess! God has still a mercy on you. You must thank God for this blessings. You have still the right to serve God as you are still a member of Christ's Church. You have still the capacity to progress in your faith upon acceptance of your new position as a deaconess."

As we can see, the Iglesia ni Cristo has a kangaroo court in existence.

True Context of Matthew 18:15-17 -

How does Felix Y. Manalo manipulate Mt.18:15-17? He uses the devil's way of disciplining his members, which is, threatening the offending brother/sister with expulsion and considering him/her as enemy of the Iglesia ni Cristo. In the true church, what is the real teaching of disciplining members? Let's read:

"And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother." -2 Thes.3:14-15 NKJV

Therefore, the true teaching of discipline is not totally abrogating or cutting the brotherhood relationship. The extreme that could be done is not to have regular company with such individual. In the true church, if you are called by God, your calling is irrevocable (Rom.11:29). What will happen then to that brother or sister living the unchristian manner? What do you think a natural father does to his kids who misbehave? The father whips the misbehaving kid. So, is our Father God. How does He whips us? Let's read:

"It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and sucb sexual immorality as is not even "named among the Gentiles---that a man has his father's wife! And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has done this deed. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." -1 Cor.5:1-5 NKJV

The misbehavior here is taking your father's wife as also your wife. According to the verse, Apostle Paul observed that the Corinthians were puffed up for this behavior, meaning, they tolerated the sexual offender on the twisted belief that because God is gracious, everyone must also be gracious with each other. Apostle Paul ordered when the Corinthians will assemble together (this gathering or assembly is called "church"), they deliver to Satan (expel, not to keep company, not to eat with) the sexual deviant. What does the phrase "for the destruction of the flesh" mean? This is the whip or physical punishment by God either thru disease or death. Why does God whips his children? Because He loves His children (Heb.12:7-9). Usually, a child whipped by his natural father will change his behavior out of fear of his father. What if he does not change? Then, more whips are coming. The whips are pains to the flesh body. The whips of the Father God are also pains to the flesh. The whip of God may even be separating your flesh body from your spirit. What does this mean? You will meet Mr. Death? Who is Mr. Death? He is the power of Satan. What happens to your spiritual soul upon death? That's right, if there is a prison for live individuals, there is a prison for those who had died with live souls. In fact, two kinds of prison--a reformatory prison called purgatory for souls of children of God who were bad, and a staging prison for those souls who are children of the devil. Souls don't die when the body or flesh dies (Mt.10:28). What about those who died faithful to Jesus Christ? These are the saints who are taken by angels right away after death to be with Christ in heaven. In Jesus Christ's second coming, these saints will accompany Christ when He comes back to earth (1 Thess.3:13).

Take note that the verse says of the offender or the expelled, "that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord." What does this mean? Is the offender or the child of God, separated from God? No. He will be saved as a child of God. He was punished only. Later on, that child of God will come to his senses and returns to God. He was punished alright. His human flesh was destroyed alright. But he is still a child of God. What about if you are given to Satan, will you now be forsaken by God? The giving of you to Satan is only for the destruction of the flesh. Satan has no power to kill the soul. He has only the power to kill the flesh or body but not the soul. Did we not touch on this that God's calling is irrevocable?Is there anyone who can complain to God for what He does? Can the clay complain to the potter why it is shaped that way?

On Ephesians 2:11-12 - Gentiles are separated from God?

"Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands--that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world." -Eph.2:11-12 NKJV

The verse is talking about the Gentiles at that time they were apart from Christ, meaning, the time they were not yet called by Christ. If we will continue reading down to Verse 13, there came a time that the Gentiles were also called. Let's read Verse 13:

"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ." -Eph.2:13 NKJV

Therefore, at the present time, the Gentiles are now the sheeps, too, of Jesus Christ. Which verses of the Holy Scriptures testify to this? That's right, John 10:16 and Acts 2:39, two verses being perverted by Felix and Erano Manalo. In John 10:16, the Lord Jesus speak of his other sheep not yet in the fold. This other sheep are the Gentiles who were not yet called at the time. Later on, when Apostle Paul was sent by Christ to be Apostle to the Gentile world, they were also called and so completed the sheeps called by Christ. There are only two groups called by Christ---the Jews and the Gentiles. In Acts 2:39, it agrees that there are only two groups, first group are the Jews and their Samaritan children. Second group are the Gentiles (Non Jews or Christians)who were considered before as afar off from Christ. The word "afar off" or "far off" is being perverted by Manalo as Far East Philippines.

On Matthew 5:23-24 RSV -

"So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go first to your brother, and then come and offer your gift." -Mt.5:23-24 RSV

Take note that there was still material offerings at the time of Christ preaching here on earth. He has not yet offered His body on the cross. Stoppage of the material offering begins after He died on the cross. Also, before Christ went up to heaven, the altar is the Jerusalem Temple. After resurrection, the altar is now Jesus Christ who is present in His children., According to the verse, if you remember that a brother has something against you (a grudge), you must first be reconciled to your brother. Since there is no longer Jerusalem Temple and you have become the temple of God to do good works (fruit of the Spirit), you must reconcile first with your brother before good works you do are accepted by God. For example, if you owe money to Brother Dave, pay him first before doing the goodness of helping the poor squatters of Manila.

Money Manalo connects the verse as having relevance to the Iglesia ni Cristo worships by admonishing his cult members not to punish the worships when they have grudges against their brethren:

"Hey you, muchachos and muchachas, if you have uncollected credits from your brethren, do not collect the money by saving your church offerings through non attendance of the worship services, you fools!"

On Eph.4:32 - Forgive those brothers who are angry at us?

"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." -Eph.4:32 NKJV

There is no teaching here that we must forgive the angry. When you forgive somebody, there is something that you gave that must not be given back. How can you forgive if there is nothing given or done? Supposing you lent your brother a comb and you have forgiven the brother because he refuses to return the comb, the thing given or done and is the subject of the forgiveness is the comb. Who is the angry party here? Is it the borrower or the lender? The borrower has no reason to be angry for not returning the comb. The lender is the angry party. In essence, Manalo wants you to become crazy to forgive your own angry self. And he wants those who have no reason to be angry to forgive the givers of the benefits they have reason to be happy. This is backward teaching. Who is noted for backward teaching ever since the time of Adam and Eve? He is Satan, the perverter of the words of God.

The true context of Eph.4:32 -

The children of God were previously sinners, but, they were forgiven by God, i.e., their sins were forgiven by God. The forgiveness by God is through mercy, i.e., He is not obligated to forgive, but, had given forgiveness only through His unmerited choice to forgive. The same is true for those who have done iniquity against us. Since God had forgiven us for our iniquities, we must also forgive those who have done iniquity against us. If there is no iniquities done to you, there is nothing to forgive. It is that simple.
