Did Brother Felix Y. Manalo Died Like Judas Iscariot?

Answering Lies Against Brother Felix Y. Manalo: "Felix Manalo Died Like Judas Iscariot" by The Splendor Of The Church blog http://www.splendorofthechurch.com.ph/2012/12/17/felix-manalo-died-like-judas-iscariot/ DID BROTHER FELIX Y. MANALO DIED LIKE JUDAS ISCARIOT? A N article in the blog titled “The Splendor of the Church” administered by a Catholic priest, Abe arganiosa, posted an article titled “Felix Manalo Died Like Judas Iscariot”. This article shows how desperate the Catholic Defenders in refuting the biblical fact that Brother Felix Y. Manalo is indeed God’s messenger in these last days. Comparing the death of Brother Felix Y. Manalo with Judas Iscariot, their argument goes like this: “Felix Manalo died like Judas, and the latter was a traitor and an evil man, thus Felix Manalo is also a traitor and an evil man like Judas.” THE ARGUMENT IS INDEED FALLACIOUS FOR TWO REASONS:

Arguments Against the Decision of the Japanese Sponsored Court of Appeals regarding Rosita Trillanes' Libel Case

WHEN THE INC DETRACTORS USED THE “DECISION OF THE COURT OF APPEALS REGARDING ROSITA TRILLANES’ LIBEL CASE” IN PROVING THAT BROTHER FELIX Y. MANALO IS GUILTY OF RAPE AND IMMORAL ACTS: ASK THEM TO REFUTE THE FOLLOWING: (1) That this decision was made by a Japanese sponsored court, taking their authority from the Imperial Japanese forces; (2) That this decision was made by a court under the direct and full supervision and direction of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Japanese forces in the Philippines; (3)  That Brother Felix Y. Manalo had conflicts with the Imperial Japanese forces that resulted to Japanese harassment of Brother Felix Y. Manalo, arrested him many times, commanded him to step down as Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, and made attempt to destroy his integrity and credibility; (4)  That during the Japanese occupation period, those that will not follow the will of the Imperial Japanese forces will be executed like what the...

DID BROTHER FELIX Y. MANALO RAPED ROSITA TRILLANES? By Dave Lawrence Michaels, Ph.D. I am Dave Lawrence Michaels, a history professor. When I was attending the Bible Studies for those being prepared for baptism in the Church of Christ, a friend of mine approach me and told me many negative things about Brother Felix Y. Manalo to discourage me in entering the Iglesia Ni Cristo. He said, “browse the internet and you will find the truth about Felix Manalo.” So, I did. I was shock about many things published in the internet against Brother Felix Y. Manalo, and I admit, it discouraged me to continue attending the Bible Studies of this Church. However, I managed to talk to a minister of the Church of Christ, a Church historian, a fellow historiographer. He showed me concrete evidences refuting those many accusations and allegations against Brother Felix Y. Manalo. Thank God for that. Today, I am an active member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, and very much active in sharing ...

Relevance and Importance of God's Messengers

The Relevance Of God’s Messenger To Man’s Salvation W ITH THE EMERGING religious fervor among many people today, the belief that anyone can serve and worship God directly without someone teaching him how to do it properly has also become commonplace. This is bolstered by the notion of some religious quarters that salvation is simply a matter of establishing direct and personal relationship with God and that it could be attained by performing charitable works and by doing good to one’s fellowmen. That possessing good conscience, being religious and godly, and neither trampling on other’s people’s rights nor doing any evil to others make one worthy of God’s favor and His promised salvation. People who adhere to the aforementioned principle often do not recognize the importance and relevance of God’s messenger to their relationship with Him, dismissing the concept of God’s commissioning as superfluous. Are these people right in discarding God’s messenger in their religiou...

Brother Felix Y. Manalo Did Not Established, But the One Who Preached The Iglesia Ni Cristo In The Philippines Brother Felix Y. Manalo T he prophecy of the Lord Jesus Christ in John 10:16 refers to the re-establishment of His Church. He promised the re-emergence of the Church of Christ because the first century Church of Christ was apostatized. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself forewarned that many will fall away because many false prophets will rise and lead many astray: “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. And then many will fall away, and betray one another, and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. Matthew 24:9-11 RSV Although apostasy take place in the first century Church of Christ, however, the Lord Jesus also prophesied that He has “other sheep” not of the fold or the first century Church of Christ, but He will bring them also ...

Brother Felix Y. Manalo: God Last Messenger and His Message      T he emergence of the Iglesia Ni Cristo in the Philippines fulfills the prophecies of God written in the Bible concerning His sons and daughters whom He will call from the Far East in these last days ( cf. Isaiah 43:5-6 and Moffatt; 41:9-15; 46:11-13; Acts 2:39; John 10:16; Revelation 7:2-3). These biblical prophecies have also pointed to a servant of God whom He will send to lead God’s chosen people from the ends of the earth: “Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant ; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” (Isaiah 41:9-10 KJV, enphasis mine ) God said to His “servant” whom He “ have taken from ...
