Biblical Pasages that Show Christ as the Last Messenger not Felix Manalo | Winnie Ibe




Felix Manalo is a fraud and a false prophet, not the "last messenger". Jesus is the definitive and final messenger of God.

Here is why:

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Final or last messenger of God according to the Bible.

Let me quote;

Matthew 21:34-39 NKJV
[34] Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. [35] And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. [36] Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. [37] Then LAST OF ALL HE SENT HIS SON to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.' [38] But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.' [39] So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him."

We knew that Jesus was referring to the prophets of God were sent to his people before him yet they were by killed them. Christ ALSO KNEW THAT HE is THE FINAL or LAST MESSENGER as he clearly said," then LAST OF ALL" referring to HIMSELF.

Why we are so certain that Jesus Christ is the FINAL or Last messenger ? BECAUSE Jesus declared it so. Why it made sense that Christ is the last messenger? Lets find more about this truth.

Lets read;
Hebrews 7:15-16 CEV 
[15] All of this becomes clearer, when someone who is like Melchizedek is appointed to be a priest. [16] That person wasn’t appointed because of his ancestors, but BECAUSE HIS LIFE CAN NEVER END. ["

If Christ lives forever and his body/church exists to carry out his very mission on earth then there is NO NEED TO SEND a new messenger (like Felix Manalo). The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ was already GIVEN ONCE and For ALL. This means that there IS NO MORE NEW MESSAGE and NO OTHER NEW COVENANT, hence a NEW messenger or another last messenger is not needed. Manalo need not too apply as there is "NO VACANCY".

Please read;

Jude 1:3 CEV
[3] My dear friends, I really wanted to write you about God’s saving power at work in our lives. But instead, I must write and ask you to DEFEND the FAITH that God has ONCE FOR ALL GIVEN to his people."

The Gospel of Christ was given to the Church to teach all NATIONS and this is TRUE until the end of time. Hence,the Church which is his OWN BODY PREACHES Christ's gospel or message.

Here are the verses;

Matthew 28:18-20 CEV
[18] Jesus came to them and said: I have been given ALL AUTHORITY in heaven and on earth! [19] Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, [20] and teach them to do EVERYTHING I have told you. I WILL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS, even until the END of the world."

The authority of Christ is WITH THE CHURCH IN WHICH he REMAINS " until the end of time". THE CHURCH truly speaks for Christ.

Please read;

Luke 10:16 NKJV
[16] He who hears YOU hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me." 
1 Thessalonians 2:13 NKJV
[13] For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the WORD OF GOD which YOU HEARD FROM US, you welcomed it NOT AS THE WORD OF MEN, but as it is in truth, THE WORD OF GOD, which also effectively works in you who believe."

Remember that WITH CHRIST's authority the Church was commissioned by Christ himself to preach the GOSPEL ( message of Christ's salvation). Christ and his Church is so united that St. Paul likened to husband and wife, he then added that they are ONE.

Please read;

Ephesians 5:29-32 NKJV
[29] For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. [30] For we are members of His BODY, of His flesh and of His bones. [31] "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become ONE FLESH." [32] This is a GREAT MYSTERY, but I speak concerning Christ and the church."

Christ Being the last messenger spreads the gospel through the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY. Since the Church which is also likened to a wife and Christ to a husband (who nourishes and cherish )was promised to remain forever. Again, Manalo's supposed job is NOT REQUIRED as there is NO VACANCY!!!

Christ is the Final messenger of God as declared by the inspired writer of Hebrews. Furthermore Christ is superior than any prophets before him and even to the angels. For anybody who claims that they are " the Last messenger" MUST HAVE " "another message",and would claim superiority over Jesus himself. To as claim to be the last messenger usurps and diminishes Christ authority.

Hebrews 1:1-4 NKJV
[1] … God, who at various times and in various ways spoke IN TIME IN THE PAST to the fathers by the prophets, [2] has in these LAST DAYS spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; [3] who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, [4] having become SO MUCH BETTER than the ANGELS, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. …"

The inspired writer of Hebrews presented the idea of time when God sent messengers to the fathers and prophets. He then specified Christ who speak to us in "these last days." Implying that we are COVERED in a time which is " the last days".

How certain are we that the message of Christ is by His Church and NOT FROM SELF-APPOINTED messenger?

This is what St. Paul said;

Ephesians 3:10-11 NKJV
[10] to the intent that NOW the manifold WISDOM of God might be made known by the CHURCH to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, [11] according to the ETERNAL purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, …" 

Therefore, ANYONE WHO PREACHES or giving ANY MESSAGE CONTRARY to what the Church teaches ,then we CAN BE SURE that person's message is NOT OF GOD. St. Paul had warned us:

Galatians 1:6-9 NKJV
[6] … marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a DIFFERENT GOSPEL, [7] which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to PERVERT the gospel of Christ. [8] But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. [9] As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. …"

We were already warned against those who claimed to be an " angel" or "apostles" WHO PREACHES PERVERTED GOSPEL. Felix Manalo perfectly fits the bill.
