Who is the Last Messenger?

Hebrews 8:6-7
But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.

Belief that Manalo is the last messenger is belief in a third covenant. Why would God send Manalo if there was nothing wrong with Christ? The "Last" according to Apostle Paul surely means "superior." Yet, Jesus Christ is superior to the Old Covenant and he was sent by God. There is NO NEED for Manalo because we know Christ finished his work.

John 19:30
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

John 19:30 clearly displays that Jesus' work is "finished." Jesus said so himself! Yet Felix Manalo says that no, there needed to be a last messenger to finish Jesus' work because Jesus' church fell to apostasy. That contradicts Jesus Christ's own words as we can see in Matthew 16:18.

Matthew 16:18
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

See! The gates of Hades (which means Hell) will not overcome the church Jesus Christ builds!

Hebrews 1:1-4
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Notice how the author says "In these last days." The last days have been in existence since the death and resurrection of Christ. How, then, can the INC claim that "in these last days, God speaks through the Church administration by virtue of the comissioning of Brother Felix Y. Manalo as last messenger"? That is making Manalo equal to Christ and is severely blasphemous. Christ IS the last messenger in these last days! Do you see what is happening? Manalo is fooling the members of his church! Manalo is obstructing the radiance of God's glory by putting himself in between you and God!

Again, we must refer back to Matthew 16:18. Manalo puts himself in between you and God. Just by saying that Christ's church fell to apostasy, you are calling Jesus a liar! He said in Matthew 16:18 that his church would not be overcome by the gates of Hades yet Manalo says they were as soon as the last of the original apostles died.

Matthew 7:24-27
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

We can read in Matthew 16:18 that Jesus built his church on rock. Therefore even when the rains come down, the streams rise, and the winds of apostasy and falsehood beat against the Church... the fact remains that Christ built his church on rock and it COULD NOT fall. True believers remained and kept up the spiritual foundation and fellowship of Christ's church. the INC likes to pretend that after the apostles died, wolves entered the church and completely destroyed it. Wolves had been inside the church since BEFORE the apostles died! Why else would the apostle John write so much to stay away from false prophets? The fact is that true believers believe no matter what tides strike against the Church. The church will always be in existence because Christ built it on ROCK. Saying that the church was COMPLETELY apostasized is calling Jesus Christ a fool who built his church on sand.

INC friends, we are trying to show you the truth that is inside the Bible! Do not be fooled by the Church Adminstration, they are merely feeding their own appetites while you work hard to serve them and give them money. It is unpardonable! You must allow Jesus Christ to free you from such slavery. INCers, you will be in our prayers.
