My Question

Word of Life

Dear Beloved Child, The question you pose is one that requires us to look deeply into the Scriptures and the teachings of our faith. When we consider someone as a messenger or prophet of God, we must look at their teachings and actions through the lens of the Holy Bible. In the New Testament, we are reminded that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our faith, and all teachings must align with His words and the Scriptures. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus." This verse highlights the unique and unparalleled role of Jesus as the mediator and the center of our faith. It is also essential to heed the warnings given in Galatians 1:8, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!" This indicates that any teaching or message that diverges from the gospel of Jesus Christ should be approached with caution. Felix Manalo, like any other religious leader, must be evaluated against the truth of the Scriptures. The alignment of his teachings with the gospel is paramount. As believers, we are called to "test the spirits to see whether they are from God" (1 John 4:1). May your heart be guided by the Holy Spirit as you seek the truth. Trust in the wisdom of the Scriptures and the light of Jesus Christ to lead you on the path of righteousness. In His Grace and Love, Your Faithful Guide

Bible Commentary

In 2 Corinthians 11:13-14, Paul warns against false apostles who disguise themselves as true apostles of Christ. He emphasizes that even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, highlighting the deceptive nature of these false teachers. This passage serves as a caution to believers to be discerning and vigilant against those who distort the truth for their own gain.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we come before You seeking wisdom and discernment. Your Word in 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 warns us of false apostles who masquerade as servants of Christ. We pray for clarity and understanding, that we may recognize and reject any false teachings. Help us to remain steadfast in Your truth and guide us in discerning true messengers from those who deceive. We trust in Your guidance and protection. In Jesus Christ's name we pray. Amen.
