Matthew 22:17-22
People asked Jesus who they should give money to.
Jesus asked "whose face do you see on the money?"
They said Caesar.
Jesus replies, give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give to God what belongs to God.

This verse has convinced me that we must all give our money to the Manalo, according to this verse.
If you doubt me. read the verse again and you will realize.

Reply below when you figure it out

When INC says PH is the fulfillment of the prophecy because it is the FIRST CHRISTIAN NATION IN ASIA.
The first question we ask is.
DOES THE TEXT SAY THAT?
What verse does INC use and why do they interpret it as "FIRST CHRISTIAN NATION IN ASIA".
Second question we ask is.
How do you define a CHRISTIAN NATION?

If Inc defines Christian Nation as "MOSTLY CATHOLIC" They are admitting that Catholics are Christians and not pagan apostates.

If INC defines Christian Nation as " Because some historian says it" They are admitting that a NON INC interpretation (False interpretation) can be used as fulfillment of prophecy.
If the interpretation of NON INC is acceptable as fulfillment of prophecy, then every prophecy is fair game. Of All the INC interpretations, they somehow decide that this one prophecy allows for INCORRECT interpretation as the fulfillment.

WARNING

THIS IS WHY INC DOES NOT ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THE BIBLE
BECAUSE THE 74 VERSES HERE WILL CONFUSE YOU
INTO THINKING THAT PHILIPPINES IS NOT ACTUALLY WHAT MIZRACH IS TALKING ABOUT

מִזְרָח — Mizraḥ (H4217)

Totals

• 71 verse entries
• 74 total occurrences
• ~54 uses referring to a specific geographic, territorial, architectural, or localized place/context
• ~17 uses functioning primarily as a cardinal direction (“east/eastward”) or sunrise-direction expression

Note: If you replace every single one of these verses with PHILIPPINES The Bible will no longer make sense.

At the very minimum , place of the rising sun would more accurately mean JAPAN.

Japan has more islands 14,125. MORE THAN DOUBLE of Philippines.
Japan is more EASTWARD From Israel.
Japan has SUNRISE before PHILIPPINES.
Japan has influenced the world more than PH, Japan has influenced PH more than PH to Japan.
Japan economy is superior to PH.
Japan culture is more respectful than PH.
Japan is cleaner and more disciplined than PH.
Japan has lower crime than PH.
Japan average IQ is higher than PH.
Japan by en large would fit INC interpretation of a place where God is worshipped more than PH where people are comitting crimes and Japan uses blood in recipes way less than PH. By INC's own standards Japan would fit more the interpretation of the land to the east that will bring glory to God.

THIS IS WHY INC DOES NOT ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THE BIBLE BECAUSE THE 74 VERSES HERE WILL CONFUSE YOU INTO THINKING THAT PHILIPPINES IS NOT ACTUALLY WHAT MIZRACH IS TALKING ABOUT

Felix Manalo — Iglesia ni Cristo
Reportedly isolated himself for several days, intensely studied Scripture, then emerged claiming divine revelation and ultimately presented himself as God’s final/specially chosen messenger.

Muhammad — Islam
Retreated to the cave of Hira for spiritual contemplation and reported receiving revelations from the angel Gabriel beginning around 610 CE. He subsequently claimed to be God’s prophet and delivered the Qur’an as divine revelation.

Joseph Smith — Latter-day Saint movement
Sought answers about competing Christian churches, reported a supernatural vision, then claimed subsequent angelic revelations from Moroni and a divine commission to restore the true church.

Hong Xiuquan — Taiping Heavenly Kingdom
After religious experiences and visions, became convinced he was the younger brother of Jesus and had been divinely sent to reform China. He then founded a new religious movement and declared himself Heavenly King.

Sun Myung Moon — Unification Church
Claimed that Jesus appeared to him and gave him a special mission, leading Moon to develop a new interpretation of Christianity and present himself as the person chosen to complete Christ’s mission.

Lee Man-hee — Shincheonji
Claims to have received direct heavenly revelation concerning the fulfillment of Revelation and presents himself as the specially appointed “Promised Pastor” who testifies to those events.

David Koresh — Branch Davidians
Claimed unique divine insight into biblical prophecy, particularly Revelation, and presented himself as possessing the special authority necessary to interpret its hidden meaning.

Marshall Applewhite — Heaven’s Gate
Claimed extraordinary spiritual knowledge and eventually identified himself with Jesus/the prophetic “Two Witnesses,” teaching that he had a unique role in bringing followers to the “Next Level.”

Jim Jones — Peoples Temple
Built his authority around claims of supernatural powers, prophecy, and divine revelation, eventually demanding extraordinary obedience from his followers. The movement ultimately ended in the Jonestown mass murder-suicide.

Mary Baker Eddy — Christian Science
Developed a radically different interpretation of Christianity after experiences she regarded as spiritual revelation, producing Science and Health and establishing Christian Science as a new religious movement.

Charles Taze Russell — Bible Student movement / precursor to Jehovah’s Witnesses
Did not claim to be a prophet in exactly the same way as Manalo, but began an independent Bible-study movement that rejected major established Christian doctrines and developed a distinctive prophetic interpretation of Scripture.

The recurring pattern:
Personal spiritual experience → claim of special revelation → reinterpretation of existing Scripture/religion → claim of unique authority → followers accept the leader’s interpretation as divinely authorized.

After visiting many many churches here in America, and comparing them to how filipino churches operate, specially INC. I find the difference is extremely large.

1. I have seen a church that dedicates 51% of their donations to externally helping others (not their own ministry) So that they can honestly say that they are putting others before themselves.

2. I have seen churches that spend a large amount of their funds to operate a 24/7 NONSTOP CHURCH, yes, day and night every single hour every single day NON STOP the church is operating, they pay fulltime musicians to mostly play worship songs to God when there are no prayer sessions or sermons ongoing. I suspect INC won't even dare try to do this for another 300 years if they make it that long.

3. I have seen churches that DO NOT even collect money, AT ALL. They just gather at the home of the member, and another member preaches, and the house host even prepares meals for the attendees, afterwards we just hang out at enjoy each others company, talking praying and singing until about 5 AM.

4. I have seen churches wherein the pastor makes his own income by writing books and teachings, and the profits of his books he donates right back into the church, rather than the church paying him wages, he is the one dumping his riches back into the church, INC is the opposite, your donation goes to the manalos, rather than manalo running his own self made business then donating back into the church.

5. Many more churches most in general encourage their members to support outside charities that are not connected to their congregations. INC does not even plant that idea in the brains of their members. has your organization actually told you to donate to the national red cross fund? donate to cancer research, donate to orphanages, donate to all other things? or just donate to your own group?

6. most churches here in america also serve the community by having FOOD PANTRY *(free grocery stores) and they also convert into HOMELESS SHELTERS.
   Think about it, if we are God's children, and the church is the HOUSE OF GOD, then does it not rationally equate that homeless people should be allowed inside God's house so He can shelter them in their time of need?

James 1:27 exposes a serious problem with INC’s priorities. Scripture says pure and undefiled religion includes “visiting the fatherless and widows in their affliction.” Yet after more than 100 years of existence, INC only established its first known orphanage in 2021—and there is still no comparable, established ministry specifically devoted to caring for widows. That is difficult to reconcile with James 1:27. A church does not demonstrate biblical religion merely by constructing impressive buildings or conducting large events; James identifies caring for the vulnerable—orphans and widows—as a defining expression of genuine religion.

Quite frankly if I was to simplify this my friend, if you still think INC is the true religion, something is absolutely wrong with your mental calculation.
The Bible CLEARLY and LITERALLY tells you that your church should prioritize the orhpans and widows, and you start an orphanage 100+ years later and still have no plans for widows?

INC, you find constantly the bible speaks against greed and excessive living. Jesus himself and his disciples showed you how disciples and his messengers are meant to live. So just look at how the manalos live and spend YOUR donations. Do you really honestly think that this kind of lavish lifestyle is what God wants to spend your donations on?

Jesus had nowhere to lay his head

• Matthew 8:19–20 — Jesus says: “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.”
• Luke 9:58 — same statement.

Jesus and the disciples depended on others for basic support

• Luke 8:1–3 — women supported Jesus and the disciples “of their substance.”
• Matthew 10:9–10 — Jesus tells the disciples not to accumulate money, extra clothing, or provisions for their mission.
• Luke 9:3 — “Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money.”
• 1 Corinthians 9:14 — those who preach the gospel have a right to live from the gospel, but Paul repeatedly demonstrates restraint rather than using that right as a means of enrichment.

Jesus explicitly warned against religious leaders seeking status and wealth

• Matthew 23:5–7 — Jesus condemns religious leaders who “make their phylacteries broad,” love prominent places, and desire honor and titles.
• Matthew 23:11–12 — “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased.”
• Mark 12:38–40 — Jesus condemns scribes who “devour widows' houses” while making religious displays.
• Luke 16:14–15 — Jesus specifically condemns the Pharisees because they were “lovers of money.”

Jesus' disciples weren't supposed to turn ministry into wealth

• Matthew 10:8 — “Freely ye have received, freely give.”
• Acts 20:33–35 — Paul says he coveted no one's silver, gold, or clothing, worked with his own hands, and emphasized helping the weak.
• 1 Peter 5:2–3 — church elders are told to serve “not for filthy lucre” and “neither as being lords over God's heritage.”
• 1 Timothy 6:5–10 — warns against people who think “gain is godliness” and says “the love of money is the root of all evil.”

• Colossians 1:26–27 — explicitly says the mystery was hidden but has now been revealed, and identifies it with Christ:“The mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints... which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
• Colossians 2:2–3 — says the mystery of God is Christ, in whom the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found:“...the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
• Ephesians 3:3–6 — Paul says the mystery was previously hidden but was revealed by the Spirit:“How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery... which in other ages was not made known... as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.” And he immediately explains the content of that mystery: the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of Christ's body.
• Romans 16:25–26 — perhaps the clearest statement against the idea of a permanently hidden biblical mystery:“According to my gospel... the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest...”
• 1 Corinthians 2:7–8 — describes God's wisdom as a mystery that was previously hidden:“We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom...” But the surrounding passage explains that this wisdom is now being proclaimed through the apostles.
• Mark 4:11 — Jesus says:“Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God...”

IT IS CLEAR in the book that the mystery has been revealed and it clearly tells us what the mysteries are. INC only quotes the verse that says mystery, ignores the verse that says revealed or given. Because they simply want your MONEY.
GOD BLESS

We find often these karens are white women getting angry at people they think they can bully or have power over. Fastfood workers, cashiers, etc.
If you notice its simply just them wanting their slaves back. It doesn't matter if the slave is whatever color, they just want someone who will beg for their mercy and obey them unquestioningly and fear their anger. This is what is deep seeded in karens.

INC teaches that Jesus is not God, and one of their evidence is this verse.
^(17) As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

^(18) “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone

NOTE, the man called Jesus "GOOD" with a qualifier, "TEACHER" is what he said Jesus was Good at.
Jesus responded with an UNQUALIFIED response " No one is Good except God alone"
Meaning that attaching "TEACHER" to the term "GOOD" does not isolate the statement from his response.
Which means Good teacher, Good preacher, Good carpenter, Good leader, Good worker, All of it would be hit by his response "no one is Good"

The question then
Does it apply also to " GOOD SHEPHERD? "
So why does Jesus call himself GOOD SHEPHERD? Why does he call himself Good? Does He forget that ONLY GOD IS GOOD? or is He calling himself GOD?

If you say 2+2 only equals 4, it means that it cannot equal anything else.

If you say only 2+2 equals 4, it means that 1+3 cannot equal 4

The word ONLY changes what is being modified in the sentence, whether it modifies the equation (2+2) or if it modifies the result of the equation (4)

If Jesus says ONLY the Father is the True God. Then this cannot include anyone else including Jesus because it modifies "FATHER" in this sentence.

If Jesus says the Father is the ONLY TRUE GOD. Then this can include Jesus because it modifies the TRUE GOD in this sentence.

"ONLY TRUE GOD" excludes gods of other religions.
"Only THE FATHER" Excludes the Son"

INC, you guys say that the interpretation of "you have seen the father" means "he is doing God's works, so you can see the father through good works"
OK. then can you tell me if anyone in INC or even INC as a whole can declare anywhere to anyone " if you have seen us you have seen the father".

Meaning, if felix manalo is doing the work of God and you are ONE WITH CHRIST, then you should be qualified to say the same as Christ did "IF YOU HAVE SEEN AN INC MEMBER YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER" or at the bare minimum, "THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN FEIX MANALO HAS SEEN THE FATHER"

Ayon sa video ni bad eli "how to pray part 3" na naglaho na sa internet kasi napapahiya yung mga nagpopost.
matthew 5 daw ayon kay bad eli huwag magdasal ng naririnig kasi para di marinig ni satanas at mahadlangan.

First of all, kahit marinig ni satanas ang dasal mo, bakit nya mapipigilan eh Diyos ang tutupad? Ikaw ba kaya mong pigilan si pacquiao pag sinabi nyang sasapakin ka nya ng uppercut, kahit ano gawin mo tatamaan ka hindi mo makikita kung kelan nya gagawin kasi sa sobrang bilis nya. Ang diyos mas mabilis kaya kahit marinig ni satanas na nagsumbong ka sa diyos hindi mapipigilan ni satanas ang solusyon ng Diyos.

Ibig sabihin sa mata ni eli kayang pigilan ni satanas ang diyos. Sa mata ni eli pag sabay narinig ng Diyos at dyablo ang dasal mo, mananalo si satanas.
In summary sinasamba ni soriano si satanas, dahil binibigay ni satanas ang title kay satanas na bilang higit pa sa diyos sa pakikinig at pag reresponde sa dasal. sa mata ni eli mas mabilis si satanas umaksyon, mas malakas si satanas kumilos at kahit marinig lang ni satanas ang dasal kahit marinig ng diyos, mapipigilan ni satanas ang diyos sa halip na kabaliktaran.
Ibig sabihin sa mata ni soriano si satanas ang makapangyarihan na higit pa sa lahat

IN this debate vs James white, INC's TOP-DOG debater Ventilacion reached a point where he actually says " I DONT KNOW" and "WE DONT KNOW". Something that if he said in a debate against anyone in the filipino debate circle would immediately mean he lost the debate. He only maintained this because James white and the opponents were not filipino and were not familiar with INC's full stance, which includes that you should join INC because all other religions cannot understand the mysteries of the Bible. Yet in this debate INC debater actually admits to not KNOWING the mysteries of the Bible in reference to "what kind of glory did jesus have".

NOTE this has tagalog subtitles

INC Conveniently shares similar sides with LDS/MORMON, Jehovas Witness, Islam, Hebrew Israelites.
In this video Godlogic debates 5 hebrew israelites who do not believe Jesus is Eternal. Similary INC does not believe Jesus existed Eternally.

Jesus says He came down from heaven. How does INC explain it?

John 6:38
"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me."

John 3:31
"He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly... He who comes from heaven is above all."

God is not omnipresent daw kasi wala daw sya sa mga club,wala daw sya sa impyerno, at wala daw sya sa septic tank.
Pag tumutul ka sasabihin "ah ang diyos mo nasa septic tank"
Karunungang makamundo sa halip na talata ang ginamit nyang ebidensya, umaapela sya sa opinyon ng kanyang audience.

Evidence

Colossians 1:16–17

"For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible... all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

Ephesians 4:10

"He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things."

God is present even in hell / Sheol

Psalm 139:7–8

"Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?

If I ascend to heaven, you are there!

If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!"

(Sheol is the Hebrew word for the realm of the dead.)

Amos 9:2

"Though they dig into Sheol, from there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down."

God's presence reaches everywhere

Jeremiah 23:23–24

"'Am I a God at hand,' declares the LORD, 'and not a God far away? ... Do I not fill heaven and earth?' declares the LORD."

Sa opinyon ni Bad Eli, wala ang Diyos sa mga piling lugar tutol sya sa "DO I NOT FILL THE EARTH".

Ito ang problema pag yung mga audience hindi na binabasa ang bible, kasi tamad na sila, gusto lagi spoonfeeding, kaya si bad eli hindi nya pinapakita yung aktwal na konteksto ng bibliya dahil alam nyang hindi sya i-FACT CHECK ng kanyang mga minions.
No different sa mga INC ni manalo na takot bumasa ng bible dahil daw malilito lang daw sila.,

The Leader= The only one who can interpret the Bible.
Pero the member= Agrees with leader
Because of that. The leader is right.

"Im the interpreter, im right because look at my followers, they agree with me"

Circular reasoning o paikot na katwiran.

Pag kinausap mo ang members, if you talk to them they clearly do not understand his teachings and cannot explain why he is right. Di nila kayang ipakita sa dahilan kung bakit tama ang kanilang leader.

Do you think that if we combine all of INC's literature and sermons videos audios and books including pasugo and weekly sermons that it would cover the whole bible? Let's generously assume that INC in the span of 100+ years in existence, has the religion itself taught every single verse if we collect all their preachings and teachings in all forms of written audio and video formats?
Or would we find that they just recycle the same verses every year to encourage people to donate more and attend more and obey more ??
Can you ask your family members, starting from the oldest to the youngest and ask them BOOK by BOOK if they recall INC ever running them through the full books of the bible?
Now think, why do "fake" religions have enough effort and motivation to produce bible translations, at the cost of time energy and money, while INC cannot be bothered to spare any of that?
