In this website, I am not promoting or campaigning for the glory of any man, but my God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
(Proverbs 25:27) “It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.”
It is God’s delight in a man to know how to glorify His God.
(Jeremiah 9:23-24) “Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.”
God is love; and love does not delight in the opposite of truth.
(1 John 4:16) “So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” RSV
(1 Corinthians 13:4, 6) “Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful…
…it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.” RSV
It is right and sensible to believe that every good thing that happens comes from God. So, it is God’s glory that must prevail over any other.
There are comments being sent to me that say that I am like Paul or the Lord Jesus Christ as if I am in a level equal or, to some, even more than them! To these I vehemently disagree! I am simply Brother Eli. I may not be perfectly witty, but I am perfectly me. My person, if I were to be asked, is the least of all Christians in this dispensation. Once, the Apostle Paul claimed to be the least.
(Ephesians 3:8) “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ…”
Now, I do not say that mine is a claim but, a belief regarding myself. I maybe speaking to an audience larger than any audience of the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Paul in the past, but that do not make me greater than my Lord.
(John 13:16) “Verily, verily, I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.”
There are those that claim that they are sent by God like, Joseph Smith, the Pope (being elected by the College of Cardinals of the RCC), Jose Luis Miranda (who claims that he is the Christ like Apollo Quiboloy and others), but I believe that they are all liars in light of the verses of the very scriptures they hold, and pretend to be preaching!
Jesus Christ, when He comes, will not come unnoticed.
(Matthew 24:24-27) “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
These religious leaders who place themselves in equal level with Christ and the Apostles are under delusion, to believe, among others, that they are the vicar (or replacement) of Christ.
(Hebrews 7:23-24) “And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:11-12) “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Their followers are definitely misled.
(2 Corinthians 11:13-15) “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
They do not serve the Lord; but their own belly —looking for their own glory.
(Romans 16:18) “For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”
(Philippians 3:19) “Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.”
(John 7:18) “He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.”
Someone who is truly sent by God does not claim by himself that he is sent, unless after God have told him so.
(Hebrews 5:4-5) “And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee.”
The Apostles wrote and said that they were sent by God after God has told them.
(Acts 26:17-18) “I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”
(2 Corinthians 5:19-20) “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”
They are not self-appointed ambassadors; but were sent and appointed by God with witnesses that testify of their being sent.
Peter testified of the Apostle Paul:
(2 Peter 3:15) “And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you…”
Paul testified of Apostle Peter:
(Galatians 2:8-9) “(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles): And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.”
They were commissioned by God.
(2 Corinthians 10:18) “For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.”
How do we know that they were approved and commended of the Lord? Their teachings are free from errors and deceits.
(1 Thessalonians 2:3-4) “For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.”
(2 Timothy 2:15) “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”
It is in listening and following this kind of preachers that we can be sure of salvation!
(1 Timothy 4:16) “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.”
But how about Brother Eli?

Thank you Brother Eli for giving us the words of wisdom from the Bible in a timely manner. May God forgive us if sometimes, we have to be reminded that the truths which you share with the members of the Church God unceasingly, come from Him through you. Thank you for reminding us that during this chaotic period of mankind, the only thing that remains constant like a beacon of light in the darkness are the Words of God. To God be all the Glory.
Thanks be to God, Bro. Eli!
If we want the biblical truth. Let us ask the authorities of the Bible.
Haggai 2:11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
Asking is absolutely free.
amen!!!
to God be all the glory!!!
I totally agree with everything Brother Eli has written here for it is fully supported by biblical truths. Keep on, Brother Eli, and always be an instrument of the Lord in proclaiming His divine teachings to the whole world. To God be the glory forever and always.
Sure we know how God worketh for the good of those who believeth in Him, and for that principle we can always count on to God that He will not let us be astrayed. The very reason why He sent us Bro. Eli, the preacher of God in this dispensation. As we realizing his good deeds and untiring care for us and the wisdom of God on Him we will always testify he is surely the most Blessed man in this world. But as God had taught His ministers Luc 17:10 -So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you,say, We are unprofitable servants:we have done that which was our duty to do.
A Scientific Way of Discovering Biblical Truth
by someone who cares
In Christianity, Jesus is the only authority in all spiritual matters. He has the final words. If the Prophets, apostles discuss something that is within the line of thought of Jesus as we read it then there is no problem but if an apostle contradicted him as we read it from his pen, then that apostle must be put in trial. HE MUST BE PUT TO TEST because we cannot just accept something contrary to the reality of Jesus. But IT IS also IMPERATIVE that we should not leave our brain behind, & must not only read the scriptures as it is we need to analyze, reason out, and use our God’s given mind. Thus our mind is indeed an instrument, a necessary tool in understandings things in this relative reality.
Allow me to give you some examples, consider the following:
ON the issues of Jesus being a LAMB, Prophet Isaiah did not mention that Jesus is a lamb. He is just like a lamb only in one specific way, He went silently to his death just like a lamb going to its slaughter. And even Jesus in the synoptics did not confirm that He is a LAMB , HE SAID: HE IS A SHEPHERD!. but the direct apostle esp. John in revelation, John the baptist, including Paul of tarsus said it literally that HE IS INDEED a lamb? How can we solve this crisis? FROM THIS CRISIS create another more problem that Jesus is a paschal lamb, a sacrifice for God. It is clearly written that He is indeed a paschal lamb that WITHOUT A SHEEDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO REMISSION OF SINS but the question is? Is God a tic, a mosquito, a vampire or a werewolf that he is sated for Blood? What about the doctrine of MERCY PRINCIPLES or of REPENTANCE taught by Jesus as a means of God’s forgiveness? Is it not needed?
ON the issues of Faith alone? It is clearly written that Faith alone will lead us to Eternal life. But other apostles even Jesus advised us to work for our salvation. So how can we solve this crisis?
On the issues of SABBATH, From the OLD testament it is clearly written literally that God rested on sabbath can we take it literally that God needs to be refreshed? While Jesus in the synoptic concisely mentioned that his FATHER IS WORKING STILL, meaning that his father never rested from the very start until now.
ON the issues of ACTS 17 about God dwelleth not on the temple made by hands, It is true by taking it literally but NOT if taking the essence of the whole narration of Pau (It’s being tackled( in length) in that assasinated post (God is Omnipresent so i think it is a must for you to post it here so Christian can see it if it is biblically and logically sound .)
Another good example that we should use our God’s given mind , our reasoning to solve the crisis
It is clearly written literally:
“they have also built the high places of baal to burn their sons with fire for burnt offering onto baal, “which I commanded NOT, nor spake it, “NEITHER CAME INTO MY MIND” (Jer. 19:5)
Taking the narration above as it is or simply in literal sense will put us in a situation that is not acceptable to our very own logic and reasoning. And put God in a situation that is not ACCEPTABLE to HIM.
How can this God who is the Supreme One, who is the fountain of Knowledge and Wisdom know not everything?
It is clearly written and both our mind can agree that “Great is our Lord , and of great power, His understanding is INFINITE (Psalm 147:5)
If God did not know everything, He is indeed mutable in HIS knowledge. He could be termed as a changeable God graduating from relative ignorance to relative intelligibility. So by being mutable HE IS NOT INFINITE and therefore He is NOT to be considered as SUPREME POWERFUL GOD WHO IS ABOVE ALL.

The article of Bro. Eli Soriano is not seeking any glory for any man. His article is to help people to understand the Word of God as it is his prime duty as a Messenger of God.
The proof of this is that many people change lives to the better.They returned to God.But after all, Bro. Eli, says, he is still an unprofitable servant.
No worry for anybody because everything is to gain scientifically, biblically, physically and spiritually. Thanks.
To someone_who_cares
You cited Jer 19:5 and said
“Taking the narration above as it is or simply in literal sense will put us in a situation that is not acceptable to our very own logic and reasoning. And put God in a situation that is not ACCEPTABLE to HIM.”
Okay question:
If we’re not meant to take this in the literal sense, could you please explain to us what it means??? This line was said by God Himself if you go up to Jer 19:1 (Thus said the LORD). The prophet Jeremiah was just writing what the Lord said.
Put God in a situation that is not ACCEPTABLE to HIM? Who in the world are you to say what’s acceptable to God and what’s not. Has God spoken to you personally??? Has He told you in a dream or an apparition or whatever that this is not acceptable to Him???
The Bible contains God’s words, God communicates with us with the Bible. And the BIBLE CLEARLY STATES that there are things that didn’t even come to His mind.
Okay if God DOES know everything let me ask you this: Did God know that Satan is going to rebel against Him?
If He did why did he create Satan? Why did He create a being that’s going to send a lot of beloved people into damnation huh?
If God knew everything, does He know if a person is going to be evil before He is born?
If He does then why the heck did He let that person be born in the first place. He’s going to let that person be born just to go to hell? After all he knows the person is going to be evil right?
Can you see just how stupid the idea of a god that knows everything will sound like?
a little Summary…Your god that knows everything…
A. is an idiot for creating someone (Satan) that he knows going to bring a lot of people to hell.
B. is one merciless god for letting a person exist even if he knows that he’s going to hell after all.
So to someone_who_cares, start being someone_who_cares_for_his_own_salvation and accept the truth that is in the Bible. Not your own preconcieved ideas.
To someone_who_cares,
I’m not sure if you really are someone-who-cares or someone-who-snares.
You said that “In Christianity, Jesus is the only authority in all spiritual matters,” – this is not exactly correct. In Colossians 1:18 it says –
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”
He, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the head of the church; meaning he is the ‘highest’ authority, and not automatically the ‘only’ authority in the church as you have pre-conceived. If I may ask, is not the feeding of the flock of God by the apostles a spiritual matter? In 1 Peter 5:2 it says –
“Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;”
Feeding the flock of God is a commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ to his apostles. If, therefore, the Lord commanded the apostles to be overseers of the flock of God, and if you are a Christian and a member of the flock, will you not subject yourself under the authority of the apostles, whom Christ also gave the keys of the kingdom of heaven?
(Matthew 16:19) “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
If the apostles are entrusted by Christ the keys of the kingdom of heaven, are we greater than the Lord Jesus Christ for us not to trust his apostles?
Think again.
For this I believe, as reflected in all his articles in this blog, Bro. Eli, unlike all other preachers of today, has perfect understanding of the writings of the evangelists and apostles of Christ, qualifying him to lead the Christian faith in these last days. And because he is qualified, turning away from such an obligation of leading people to righteousness would be to him a sin.
(James 4:17) “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
Thanks be to God for sending us Bro. Eli.
I’ve finished a course, the so-called Theology, but I haven’t really studied there things about God, but the whole course appears to be Theodicy, for they didn’t really studied God the scientific way.
But now, how should we call a branch of science that deals with Biblical truths? I’m curious though.
thanks be unto God!!! hope you’ll post video clips on YOU TUBE related to the topics that your discussing here… because there are a lot of people out there that posting their beliefs ,religious question and point of views and most of them are senseless, please send video clip to answer those question. I believe that God has sent you to spread the word… to God be the Glory!!!
someone_who_cares,
Brother, Blood sheeding is a physical ceremonial law which act as a covenant before the time of our Lord Jesus Christ.
but that ceremonial law cannot justified their sins.
yes they believed and have faith that their doings can already justified them.
but for the eyes of our FATHER in heaven it is unjustifiable, their faith and believe is remain in vain.
But because of the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ their faith and believe of their ceremonial doings is justifiable already to the eye of our FATHER in heaven including us today through baptism which symbolize as our physical ceremonial law.
as stated: repent and believe and be baptize in the name………
That baptism also signify our acceptance of the truth as stated;
” But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
EYES
To God be the Glory…!!!!!
Thanks be to GOD for sending a preacher who is willing to sacrifice his own happiness for his fellow.
May God bless you always Ingkong!!!
i thanks God, bro. eli, for whole truth that is in the bible. i am very delighted with ur preaching on ur site … “to God be the glory.”
amen!!!!
i say to all if ye permits me…
let us always have the discipline of keeping our toungue of speaking good words…sometimes we tend to over gratify our congregation just to like nearly boasting it to outsiders…
we tend to sometimes over gratify our top leaders just to convinced outsiders to listen to us…”tayo ang wika ay maging mapagpigil”…
Our leaders are servants of our GOD just like we are,they are our brethrens..though we thanks our GOD that they belong to our congregation..but let us sometimes hold our horses..because although we respect them…let us not make that respect like we are maybe glorifying them…
we only glorify our GOD…
and to GOD be the glory!!
to: someone_who_
you’re late my friend, you’ve got a lot of catching up to do by reading bro eli’s previous posts regarding your claims. take your time in reading them.
may God bless and enlighten you.
to Mr. M & all
God is of LOVE, AGAPE LOVE to be specific, then how come in his creation that is full of love, an ABSOLUTE EVIL EXIST? IT Is Inconceivable! Is it not?
The problem is our perception of that evil, We think evil as evil but once we understand the value of that evil in realizing the LORD then that evil will have a sense in God’s creation.
There is nothing to be feared Mr. M, it is only to be understood, and once you understand this thing we call evil then that’s the time that you can see the significance of my message.
To someone_who_snares,
‘God is of LOVE?’ Kindly search again the exact phrase ‘God is of love’ in the whole Bible and you will not find a single verse.
In the Bible, it says in 1 John 4:8, 16 that ‘God is love.’
‘God is love’ of the Bible is different from your preconceived idea ‘God is of love.’ Do you now see the difference?
It’s like saying ‘the sun is hot.’ But for you to say ‘the sun is of hot,’ illogical isn’t it?
Better yet, say “love is of God;” it’s written in 1 John 4:7.
Do some reading.
Dear brother Yakovlevich,
you said : Thanks be to God for sending us Bro. Eli.
________
To God be the glory! You are blessed brother Yakob for understanding the truth that our minister is indeed is living saint & a living apostle.
It is true Bro. eli labored abundantly but he did not boast for his work, NEVER AS IN NEVER!, and So his character/virtue is more than or far beyond than st. paul.
The apostles are all dead, therefore the only authority in the end times is given to BRO. ELI!
LONG LIVE BRO. ELI!
Praise be to God for this TRUTH!
BTW, Brother, kindly clarify your statement, Did you debunk the statement that JESUS IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY by someone_who_cares?
BUT Bro. eli taught us that Jesus is the only authority in all spiritual matters because he is the Son of God. The apostles are not Son of God, Bro. eli himself is not a Son of God, Jesus alone, so i think it is true that Jesus is the ONLY AUTHORITY.
When Jesus send Bro. eli in our time, still, Jesus is the ONLY AUTHORITY within Bro. eli . So there is no problem in the statement : JESUS IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY.
to,
someone_who_cares??
please follow comment no. 19…!!
i agree with him..you really need a lot of catching to be able to understand what are you saying about these topics you wanted to get involve with…
but this i tell you….submit yourself first to GOD…then understanding will follow…when we say submit..!! that means a lot of humility is at stake….in fact….whole humility is required..!!
Mr./Ms. someone_who_cares,
Your argument cannot be considered lame. However, it was
clearly revealed based on your analysis that you really need
to attend our congregational gatherings. We actually have
two scheduled prayer meetings within the week
(that’s Wednesday and Thursday), Thanksgiving every
Saturday, and Worship Service every Sunday. Oh, why not
also attend our indoctrination? Or, just keep on reading Bro.
Eli’s blogs until you feel God’s mercy and grace as
a reward for your hardwork in sincerely knowing the truth.
However, your hardwork should be coupled with a clean heart
that is open and ready to allow God’s loving spirit to enter
and conquer your restive soul.
I appreciate that you are taking time reading and
commenting. For a lamb that lost his way, I firmly believe
that it would be a great start in finding the old path that
many did not even notice to pass by… and this old path
is the only path that would lead them to their peaceful haven.
To answer one of your queries…
It is true that God is love! No one can question that. Because
He loves us so much, He gave us His only begotten Son, right?
He also gifted us with the freedom to choose, FREEWILL, that
is why others, though gifted by God, still managed to rebel
against Him.
Evil really exists! Whenever there is GOOD there is EVIL…
Why is that so?
Retaliate evil with goodness. So how can this be true and
manifested if there is no evil around us?
Because God wants to test His children their faith and that is
to do good against evil.
In that way, as a child of God we can really prove that we are
worthy of salvation.
One more thing, if someone does good and believes that its
the truth, then he must face it with all might. One way of
doing that is to acknowledge what you did not because of
boasting but to even glorify God that He made such you!
So, who is “someone_who_cares”?
Noreen Ocampo
Dear Knight,
I’d like to think we’re on the same side – the side of the truth. Nevertheless, as becoming of Christians, we should always be careful in how we express our thoughts; it should always be in line with biblical principles – together with biblical proofs.
You said, “It is true Bro. eli labored abundantly but he did not boast for his work, NEVER AS IN NEVER!, and So his character/virtue is more than or far beyond than st. paul.”
I am not against Bro. Eli; neither Saint Paul: For I believe both are of God. I also believe that Bro. Eli labored (and is still laboring) more than any other Christian living today. But if you will look again and analyze your comment, you seem to imply that Apostle Paul boasted of his work, that is why you concluded that Bro. Eli’s “character/virtue is more than or far beyond than st. paul.”
Saint Paul is a preacher of God, the same as Bro. Eli. We must consider that their teachings come from one teacher, which is the Lord Jesus Christ. In Luke 17:10 Christ said –
“So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, we are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.”
Paul, as an apostle, faithfully adheres to this commandment of the Lord. Bro. Eli, as a preacher of God in these last days, does the same. Bro. Eli and Saint Paul is of one faith and of one Spirit; neither boasts of their works. It is the need to give examples to people of what kind of works a true Christian should work that obliges Saint Paul and Bro. Eli to speak of their works so that people, especially fellow Christians, should learn from them. That kind is not boasting.
You also said, “The apostles are all dead, therefore the only authority in the end times is given to BRO. ELI!”
You should realize that not all the readers of this blog are members of the Church of God, and even if they all are, you should support you claim with biblical proofs and verses of the scriptures to satisfy the scrutiny of a logical mind.
Consider this: “The apostles are all dead,” then you concluded right away, “therefore the only authority in the end times is given to BRO. ELI!”
Does the being dead of all the apostles necessarily mean the giving of the ‘only’ authority to Bro. Eli? That is not biblically sound.
There are proofs of Bro. Eli’s authority to the Christian faith. Here are some:
1. (Luke 21:13-15) “And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.”
2. (Daniel 12:9-10) “And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”
For the last forty years, no pastor or minister or preacher from any religion has refuted what Bro. Eli preaches from the Holy Writ. He is now known to be too formidable, that pastors of today are no more engaging themselves to fight him in a formal debate. It is because, as prophesied by the prophet Daniel, “none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand,” and as the Lord Jesus said, “I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.”
God gave Bro. Eli understanding of His words in the Bible that none other pastor has. That’s what makes him an authority to the faith, and not the being dead of the apostles. I hope you get my point Brother.
Peace be with you.
to Yakovlevich
GOD is of LOVE or LOVE is of GOD is the same in the proper usage of that term figuratively speaking, In the methaporical language the word LOVE pertains to GOD & vice versa. Quoting is just quoting, the more you quote the more you leave your brain behind, the more you focus on the letter, the more you are far from the TRUTH.
Difference of definition only lies in the relative assumption of everymind that is bound by ignorance in the essence of that LOVE.
Dear brother Yakovlevich
Honestly, I hate to read your long passages, it is unnecessary coz I know all of it, ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I AM ILL-INFORMED AND THAT YOU ARE WELL-INFORMED? ! I am not up to any discussion regarding this matter but it seems to me that you want to make this simple statement of my FAITH as a HIGHLIGHT.
What’s wrong if I say that Bro. Eli is so HUMBLE in my eyes and better than St. Paul in terms of Character. YES, they are both Saints of the MOST HIGH but they are also human like us, therefore they can possess different character.
Be considerate! Thank you! God bless too!
Dear Knight,
No, brother, I did not say that you are ill-informed and that I am well-informed. If you are an active member of the church, then it’s a must that you know the verses I mentioned.
However, not all are as well-informed as you, as you said,
“I hate to read your long passages, it is unnecessary coz I know all of it.”
There are non-members reading this blog, and they are not yet well-informed of the verses.
Please understand.
To someone_who_cares,
Your argument doesn’t hold water as much as it is unbiblical.
Show me a verse containing the exact phrase “God is of love” and I will stand corrected.
Until then, your assumption that, “GOD is of LOVE or LOVE is of GOD is the same in the proper usage of that term figuratively speaking,” remains a preconceived idea, illogical, and unbiblical.
To miss Noreen,
For a lamb that lost his way, I firmly believe
that it would be a great start in finding the old path that
many did not even notice to pass by… and this old path
is the only path that would lead them to their peaceful haven.
To answer one of your queries…
—————
My dear, you are a “precious ring”. I can see the beauty in you!, You have something that others dont have in your circle of faith.
There are really blessed people in every walks of faith. It only proves that our Universal FATHER is of no partisan, He is TRULY not interested in sectarianism.
If you dont mind sister, I have a very simple question for you: What is this OLD PATH that you are trying to convey? Is it the OLD PATH mentioned in Jeremiah? If yes, then what’s the connection of that OLD PATH to the NEW PATH Of JESUS? Is the OLD PATH the same as NEW PATH OF JESUS?
To someone_who_cares?
Yes, it is the one in Jeremiah.
What about the NEW PATH OF JESUS? Is it the one in Hebrew?
There is no NEW PATH OF JESUS, I believe in the Bible.
If that is so, the old path in Jeremiah speaks of the path that ‘
the Lord wants His people to walk in… for there they will find
rest for their souls.
Jeremiah 6:16
Thus says the LORD,
“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the old paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And you will find rest for your souls.
Hebrew 10:10
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
There is no mention of NEW PATH OF JESUS… only a new and
living way…
However, I think, ( we can ask Bro. Eli about this ) there is a
connection only in this idea, (I hope, Bro. Eli is always
available to correct this.) both are ways for salvation.
but, the one in Hebrew I think is about
the Church where Jesus heads through the sacrifice of his
body.
Anyway, I was just thinking and hoping that people who are
actually involved in this kind of healthy intellectual battle,
religious wit, so to speak, might be searching for something…
I just don’t what it is… Let us hope for the best!
Moreover, I know that this is an avenue for those lost souls
that are awaiting to be called by GOd.
Thanks for the “precious ring” thing!
“I can see the beauty in you!, You have something that others dont have in your circle of faith. ”
Just take time… beauty is revealed may be in one blast..
maybe gradually! Thanks that you see mine! Discover
others too! God is good! Especially to all his Lamb!
GOD BLESS!
APOC. 1:3
Dear Miss Noreen,
Thank you for the well-articulated response! Actually my question is just in-line with the argument made by Mr. Old_Path # 32
I guess it needs to be explained clearly by EFS for it not to create any confusion to the eyes of the readers.
Im my opinion, when Prophet Jeremiah proclaimed his message, He’s not referring to the covenant written in Gospel to the Hebrew but to the Old Covenant
Old path – Old covenant
Well, let us just hear bro. eli on this issue!
God bless!
THANK YOU LORD GOD, WE WORSHIP YOU AND WE GLORIFY YOU EVERY MOMENT OF OUR LIFE. Thank you for the continuous blessings to Bro Eli, Bro Daniel, the ministers, workers, and members of the CHURCH OF GOD International. Your protection O LORD has allowed Bro Eli to go on with his mission to spread the TRUTH and the GOSPEL OF GOD,worldwide, against all odds, and dangers of being killed by the enemies of the true church. Bro Eli has been marked to death, has beeb maligned, maliciously charged with all crimes he has not done, constantly being monitored by the ‘spies’ from the false churches supported by their ‘captive’ and subservient Philippine government officials who had the notion that these false churches can deliver votes during election times. Anyway, the fast growth of the CHURCH OF GOD in so short a time, under financial constraints, and all form of persecutions from the inc-ni-manalo and the other bogus churches, will prove that Bro Eli is GOD sent, and gifted with the knowledge and understanding of the WORDS OF GOD. We do not wish to compare Bro Eli with many late-comer preachers nor every tom dick and harry now claiming to be from GOD and or to be the CHRIST, and has made financial fortunes at the expense of their poor, ignorant, and misled members. Bro Eli could have been a billioner if only he made business out of religion, the way that false churches and their leaders did, but because of his true love for GOD and his concern for man’s salvation, Bro Eli is still poor the way he started to preach the WORDS OF GOD.Bro Eli has been approached by the powerful and mighty, the politicians, and government officials, yet he did not take advantage to enrich himself, nor gain influence the way that the inc-ni-manalo, and other churches did. Inspite of Bro Eli’s popularity and mass following, he has maintained a low key in the church and society, refusing to be admired, addressed as ‘father’, reverend, sir, and many other flattering titles, and always instead, told all and everybody that gratitude and GLORY belongs to GOD and HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. We do not boast, but the truth is, there is no messenger, preacher like Bro Eli, who has scientifically discovered the biblical truth and has not stop to share them to everybody.
Thanks be to God for the true preachers sent in our time and in our midst!
God bless you and bro. Daniel now and forever.
We love you both dearly.
