Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

There are people, especially the ministers of Iglesia Ni Cristo of Mr. Eraño Manalo, who say that Bro. Eli is a wicked person. Of course I do not believe them, because I know that all of the things they say against Bro. Eli are mere accusations to malign his person.

I was holding a broadcast when all of a sudden the Iglesia ni Cristo members came with guns

Because of the example that he had been setting, I told myself that I, too, have to do the same. I also have to love my fellowmen. From the teachings of Bro. Eli, I have understood that loving one’s fellowmen means to lead them to the truth encourage them to serve God for them to attain salvation.

The Church of God – it’s like a Diamond that they have Found

Their simplicity and humility is so moving that I felt so ashamed of myself. I took so many things for granted as a person and as a Christian.

It was Love-at-first-hear but the Program ended and I didn’t know who the Preacher was

He was talking about the real state of being of our Lord Jesus Christ. And because of what I heard and understood from this preacher, the more I became convinced not to join the INC.

My Heart Learned again to have Mercy that I had long Forgotten how to Feel

The anger that tamed my heart, brethren – so it was already 10 years and I did not know it – before I learned to have mercy on others…. It is like that brethren.

Have I Met my Waterloo? Nah, I’m Here to Stay for Good

Then I saw my supposed brothers begin to smoke. I saw them eat as freely as they wanted. Some went silently to eat in fiestas and hushed me not to judge. After drinking liquor which they were not supposed to do, they slept in the moonlight and spoke of the “changes in the church” like they were free birds once more.

Why Then did They Lose their Guts to Face the Dare For a Debate?

There were so many to wipe out, those ministers who were drunkards, sons of deacons that whenever you meet them in the street are drunk. They were the ones to be wiped out, not me!

We Worshipped God through Different Images

The idea on what we are doing was not clear on my understanding. We worshipped God through different images even if it was no longer the image of God but those of the saints whom I did not know. I didn’t even know and understand the significance of those images in my growing years.

Bro. Eli Soriano: The Antithesis of the Conventional

The crowd instantly bellowed the name ‘Manalo’when Bro. Eli asked them who the founder of the INC was. By then, a displaced person grabbed Bro. Eli’s clothing, snapping out its buttons and even manifesting the former’s brusqueness by flicking a lighted cigarette in the midst. That incident was a lucid reflection of how ‘possessed’ Bro. Eli’s enemies were. But he was determined and nothing could apparently stop him.
