Blessed By Evangelism Tracts

Hi, I've read your article on the cult Ang Dating Daan sent to me by a sister in Christ in Manila.  I'd like to personally say thank you for exposing Mr. Soriano for what he is, a False prophet!  I've always had my doubts on the man. I have a loved one in Manila who is so impressed by Mr. Sorioano's knowledge of the scriptures. Little does he know that the man he listens to on television is spreading false doctrines and is twisting the word of God. My loved one and I do not see eye to eye that it is strictly by God's Grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ by which man can be saved (no works, no church membership and no baptism, etc..  can save man), and that Christ is eternally divine and eternally equal to the Father.  After reading your piece, now I know why he doesn't agree with me.  I hope that Christians in the Philippines through God's help will expose this man and have his cultic show cancelled ASAP. Let's ask God to get this man off the air for the sake of the many mislead Filipinos, and for the many Filipinos who are sincerely seeking for the true Jesus Christ of the Bible. We cannot allow Mr. Soriano to go on spewing false doctrines and we certainly cannot allow him to go on twisting the scriptures. Keep up the good work. May the Lord bless you and your ministry. 

In Christ Jesus, 

Issa LeBlanc California, U.S.A.

Our Phone Conversation

Dear Bro. "Justyn", 

As per our phone conversation, I would like to commit as a contributor of The Bereans. 

As I've said, part of enlarging one's territory (1 Chronicles 4:9-10) is strategic partnerships. In view of my schedule, my son's therapy and my involvement with WorldTeach, I know I have to reprioritize. 

So instead of having an independent--though complementary--website, I am hereby offering the articles in my Bible Exposé website to The Bereans for possible inclusion in your website. I will be phasing out my website to give way to your website. I believe it is not inconsistent with my vision since I will still be focusing on homegrown cults in my write-ups. But I can't focus on maintaining my website due to time constraints. So I have to make this decision in order that the vision of reaching out to the members of homegrown cults and equipping Christians to "give an answer for the hope" (1 Pet. 3:15) would still be pursued. 

Thank you for your positive response. I greatly appreciate that we could partner in this ministry. May God enlarge our borders further and farther! 

Yours in Christ, 

Pastor E. "Bible Expose"

Kumusta

Bro. Justyn, 

Kamusta na? Eto nga pala si DES. Kilala ko si .... at siguro siya ang nagbigay ng celno ko sa iyo. Hindi kami nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na magkita sa Pinas kaya't hanggang sa telepono lang kami nagkausap. Dapat sana ay aattend ako sa isang seminar sa Baguio pero hindi na ako nakapunta dahil sa problema sa sasakyan. 

Maganda ang mga nakalagay sa website ng bereans. Sa totoo lang, 1979 pa lang nakikinig na ako kay soriano pero hanggang ngayon hindi pa ako kumbinsido na 100% ng tinuturo niya ay totoo. May mga tumatama at may mga lumulihis. May mukhang tama at may nakakagimbal. Alam mo bang mas mabigat ang mga turo nila kapag member ka na? 

Eto ang ilan sa mga nalaman ko sa kanila: 

1. Bawal ang makikain kung may handaan at ikaw ay sinama lang ng inimbitahan. 

2. Bawal din na kumain kung ang mga pagkain ay pinag-pray ng ibang sekta. 

3. Bawal ang pagkain ng mga lamang kati na pinatay sa paraang Islam na tinatawag ng "Halal". 

4. May mga fastfood chain na gumagawa nito tulad ng greenwich at yung lahok na karne sa spaghetti ng jollibee. Kasama din ang argentina, etc. 

5. Bawal paputulan kahit na konti ang buhok ng kababaihan. 

6. Pati yata pagkain ng ginatan ay bawal (ayon sa isang reliable source). 

Nakikita ko na maganda ang hangarin mo pero sana mas maganda kung paghandaan nyo na kausapin siya ng personal para mawala ang "yabang" niya. Alam kong mahirap gawin yan dahil bihasa sa debate yon. May tape akong napanood na ang nakalaban niya ay isang Katoliko na member ng St.Peter's ... Napansin ko doon na kapag ang boses ng kalaban niya ay malakas at matapang ay parang hindi gaanong napahiya sa laban kay Soriano. Infact may nakita akong punto doon na nakaisa ang kalaban ni soriano sa kanya. 

Dapat din na malaman nyo na maraming nakatagong "baon" sa debate si Soriano. Isa sa mga style niya yung pagnagkamali ka sa mga verse na sinasabi ng kalaban niya doon sila nadidiin. Kaya kung maingat ang magiging kalaban niya ay posibleng siya ang mapahiya. 

O sige kapatid hanggang dito na lang. 

Des

My Reaction

Hello, 

Hey! sorry if it took me so long to answer back. 

I was really amazed by your vision about witches and wiccan religion. 

In my opinion witches are group of persons believed to have magic powers, it is also true that the craft does attract a few "bad seeds". That's why it is a big dilemma for a person to louse up with them. But it doesn't necessarily mean that they are using their powers to harm or hurt hapless people. 

Most witches abide by the "HARM NONE" rule. Also, most witches have some kind of "RULE OF THREE" that they believe in.  

For me it is due to prejudices that the word "witch" holds on ominous meaning for most people in societies today. 

Lastly, thanks for giving me a quick look about the wiccan religion. 

Blessed be, 

MITCH

ADD is Not a Cult?

teka, andaming mali na akala mo yun ang pinaniniwalaan ng ADD members. teka, nakinig or nanood ka lang ba once sa program nila? kasi, kung hindi, hindi rin dapat ganyan ang interpretation mo. hindi ako galit sa yo, pero mali eh. i hope you understand. simple lang, kung nakabase siya sa Ang Biblia, di dapat haligi at "suhay" ang pangalan nila hindi "saligan". it is true that he believes there are many gods but worships only the Father Almighty and Jesus Christ. siguro na-misinterpret mo lang. tsaka it is you who needs to consult the original scriptures lalo na yung Jer. 23:23-24. omnipresent pala, ha. he believes na ang Dios ay wala sa lahat ng dako, ngunit kaya niyang magpunta sa lahat ng dako. now, prove that wrong. he believes God is omnicient and omnipotent but not omnipresent. tsaka kung maka- Acts 17:11 kayo, di dapat Church kayo at hindi "ministry". i'm an open-minded person, kung mali ako, i will accept it pero kung mali kayo, sana ma-accept nyo rin... hindi ako galit, ha?

Comments on the ADD Debate Challenge

If winning a debate means being in the truth the i disagree with our friend from ang dating daan. Ang sabi kasi nang biblia you shall know them by their fruits. Ang alam ko kasing fruits nang Holy Spirit is love,joy,peace,longsuffering, meekness..at least to name a few. Masyadong pala-away si Mr. Eli Soriano. I just can't imagine him to be a servant of God. Jesus Christ came here full of "Grace" and truth.

Comments from Eli Soriano Follower

"Para malinaw ang lahat... labas kayo sabay sa tv sa isang diskusyon... lalabas ang totoo niyan. kung kayo ang totoo... Was kayong matakot kung kayo ang totoo. For the next 2 weeks di kayo lumitaw ibig sabihin di kayo totoo.. Culto kayo. Sa palagay ko mabuti yun para sa kapakanan naming nagsusuri. kasi mahirap yang nagtatago kayo sa website lang. Para mapatunayan kung sino talaga ang kulto pwede lumabas kayo sa telebisyon at makipagdiskusyon kay Bro. Eli. Thx. (sent via www.halebop.com)

Corrections

Jun, thanks for writing. I visited your web site - very well done, easy to navigate. I skimmed over a few of the articles - I thought the one on water baptism was excellent, and very informative. I think you'll get a lot of visitors, and the idea of advertising it in a paper is a good one. There are some minor writing errors (Use of tenses, syntax, etc.) I found, and ifyou would welcome correction, I would be glad to assist. The seminar on the 20th sounds exciting - may the Lord open new connections to you. Please, by all means, put my site on your links page. Well, got to go. God Bless you and your labors, David.

INC Tracts for Southern California

Hi,

I would like to know if I can get copies of some of your tracts for distribution in Southern California.

As you know, Hawaii and California have the highest number of INC members outside of the Phillipines. I am interested in learning how to help, what is the best way to witness to INC members when they get defensive and cut off communication? 

Would it help to distribute flyers to INC members? 

Thanks,
