Cleaning the Chapel after the Church Services
High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek
Coming Soon!
This has been a common concern about the relationship of Christ Authority after the order Melchizedek.
- How was it that way?
- Was Melchizedek Superior than Christ?
- Who was Melchizedek and How was his Priesthood in different level?

Responding Jennifer Ponce: Church Name
I was tagged by Jxn Pxncx in her post, and I think this has to be something that testifies to their belief as INC members and that the church name must be (as their common claim) named according to the Bible. I made a post about this one with Job Bautista, and I don't see a good response rather it ends up as bigotry and hatred. So, here let's try to study Jxn Pxncx words and understand what the scripture means for us. See text in red as my response and some scriptural verses under a different color. Let's dive in -
 |
| A caption was posted on her social media account. |
The Bible said, “๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ .” The verse further testified, “Nor is there salvation in any other.” ๐ป๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ “๐ช๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐” ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐.
I don't know about that. Christ never said anything about the exact church name, but maybe she meant Christ owns it or Christ is the Head of the Church. So let's talk about that in this article, and let's make it simpler to understand.
Even ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ that the one true Church founded by Christ is called “Church of Christ”:
Yeah, of course, since he founded it and Church registered name vs Church Organizations were different. Let's try to understand the Major Issue. Was it Christ as the one who organized it, or Felix Manalo, who simply registered his Church under the name of Christ? I had challenged Job Bautista one time about this issue, asking him if we are to take that kind of claim, then the only solution was to rename the Church's registered name. And if we all come up with that solution, then every church will be saved. ๐ค
“5. Did Jesus Christ established a Church?
“Yes, from all history, both secular and profane, as well as from the Bible considered as a human document, we learn that Jesus Christ established a Church, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐.”
(Cassily, Francis B., S.J. Religion: Doctrine and Practice for use in Catholic High Schools, p. 442-443.)
Actually, it's never an issue. Everyone knows how that thing goes, and everyone knows that Christ is authorized to perform or execute everything the Father wants him to do. So, yeah, it was his Church and it is God's church. No question about it. Christ is the author and finisher of Faith. Which means salvation must come only through him.
๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ “๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐” ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐, but instead, a name coined only by Ignatius, bishop of Antioch in early second century AD:
If you're to ask me about the Church's Official name, of course, we couldn't find the exact word you're looking for. But I don't think it was the issue. First, Christ never did at any time proclaim the Official Church name everyone should use. In the scriptures, the words church of God and Christ were used interchanges by the same person who addresses his epistle to each of the saints in Asia. And for me, it doesn't matter if you understand the Scriptures' doctrinal exegesis. Second, as the
“The name Catholic as a name is not applied to the Catholic Church in the Bible…St. Ignatius of Antioch, writing to the Christians of Smyrna about the year 110, is the first to use the name ‘The Catholic Church’…”
(Conway, Bertrand L. The Question Box, p. 132)
And I don't think this has anything to do with the subject unless you have some issue with how they named it that way, versus the name was used in biblical times. So far, Christ didn't say anything about using the right name of Church or Organizations as long as it was his Church, the very reason why they Call it Church of Christ or the Church of Christ in a General term or usage. Again, this has nothing to do with Christ Doctrine or the actual church name to be used, while the Christians during their time used to call it Christ Church, so it's just it.
Because Christ is the owner, the founder, the head, the husband, and the Savior of the Church of Christ, thus, it is only right to call the one true Church founded by Christ as "Church of Christ."
Yes, we get that everyone understood it. The Baptists, Evangelists, Adventists, Catholics, and many more used to call it Christ Church, but if the issue was all about the registered name that you're pointing out, it's not about it. I could give you the example of the word's Paul saying -
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 1 Timoth 3:15
So what was it all about? Paul simply states the whole name of the church, so does this count as the True Church name? It does, Paul simply says it was the Church of Christ or the Church of God. So was this a registered church name issue? I don't think so. Paul states the name, which is "the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." This doesn't say anything about the right name of the organization, so it will be counted as true. They don't preach the usage Church name but rather the Gospel of Christ in His Church. So again, that doesn't say anything about whether the INC is true just because it was the name of a church written in the bible, while there are lots of attributes aside from that.

Neil Andi Anderson: Was an Attitude defines a religion?
- Why would the INC Church accept such an attitude?
- Was this teaching also part of INC theology?
- If not. Then what kind of people are they that turn away from Christ's teachings and love?

| Conversation from Job Bautista's Post. |
 |
| His Last Christian Word, as he claimed to be a Christian. Funny how this kind of attitude exists in INC and teaches Goodness in their Fundamental Beliefs. Of course, he's a troll, and every fanatic troll could do that, which simply harms the INC ideology. |

Our Dog Kikay and her Puppies
Here are some recollections of our puppies. Unfortunately, they did not survive. Some of the individuals who took in the puppies did not provide proper care for them. Despite the fact that they are now just memories, they represent the most cherished moments we have of them. These memories serve as a tribute to the puppies and the love we had for them. While their time with us was short-lived, the impact they had on our lives is everlasting. It is through these memories that we honor their presence and the joy they brought into our lives, even if it was only for a brief period. The bond we shared with these puppies will always hold a special place in our hearts, reminding us of the love and companionship they brought into our lives.
Part 11 - Job Bautista Mischievous Blind Guide
"1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Omni, being commanded by my father, Jarom, that I should write somewhat upon these plates, to preserve our genealogy—2 Wherefore, in my days, I would that ye should know that I fought much with the sword to preserve my people, the Nephites, from falling into the hands of their enemies, the Lamanites. But behold, I of myself am a wicked man, and I have not kept the statutes and the commandments of the Lord as I ought to have done. - Omni 1"
"13 And ye will not have a mind to injure one another, but to live peaceably, and to render to every man according to that which is his due.14 And ye will not suffer your children that they go hungry, or naked; neither will ye suffer that they transgress the laws of God, and fight and quarrel one with another, and serve the devil, who is the master of sin, or who is the evil spirit which hath been spoken of by our fathers, he being an enemy to all righteousness. - Mosiah 4"
Responding a Post: Joseph Smith False Prophecy - Part 1
Here's a Post from one of the critics who simply copied a source from an out-of-context quote and misunderstood the interpretation, everyone who claimed to know a thing, ends up ignorant on the issue. Let's find out -
From the life of Joseph Smith in his address to David W. Patten -
Verily, thus saith the Lord: It is wisdom in my servant David W. Patten, that he settle up all his business as soon as he possibly can, and make a disposition of his merchandise, that he may perform a mission unto me next spring, in company with others, even twelve including himself, to testify of my name and bear glad tidings unto the world.
Joseph Smith, Doctrine & Covenants 114:1, This prophecy was made on April 17, 1838. David W. Patten died in October of 1838 and thus never went on a mission the following spring.
Okay, so first, I want to shorten my comments. There were reasons that this prophecy wasn't fulfilled, and those reasons don't make someone a false prophet.
1. Persecutions were raging - David Patten died a martyr and experienced much persecution even if he needed to go to serve the Lord in some place called for him, but persecution is rising to a different level. He was willing to serve but persecution didn't let him to. Does this mean false prophecy?
2. Situation - When Jonas prophesied about the destruction of Nineveh, but God didn't let it, does that mean he is a false prophet? Of course not, everything has set into its conditions or sometimes situations. Another thing was, that Christ prophesied about his return while a generation of men in his days would not pass away to see him come again, did it happen? No! Was Christ a false prophet? Of course not! There were reasons behind it. I would like to add it soon after I made this article. Anyway, As Christ once said, it's "thy (God's) well". If God sees it doesn't fit that way, then it's all his well be done.
This was a classic criticism that they mostly quote scripture like Deuteronomy 18:22 to find it a failed prophecy but fail to understand the rest of the scriptures just as I gave recently.
When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen, or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.- Deuteronomy 18:22
So why was that? Is it all about picking up a ripe cherry while justifying the rest of the context?

O grave, where is thy victory?56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

So, why do you allow that post while my post was declined for no good reason? Well the answers might be, because it wasn't monitored, or the admin doesn't care at all.

Part 6 - Job Bautista: Christ was God
 |
| Jehovah Creates the Earth |
One Job Bautista's classic quote about the nature of Christ as the Son of God or (God as most of Christians do believe).
Aral ng Anti-Cristong Lds Joseph Smith Cult Church ; Basahin natin .
2 Nephi 11:7 Sapagkat kung walang Cristo ay walang Diyos; at kung walang Diyos ay wala tayo, sapagkat hindi maaaring magkaroon ng paglikha. Subalit may Diyos, at siya si Cristo, at paparito siya sa kaganapan ng kanyang sariling kapanahunan.
Sino ba ang manlilikha , si Panginoong Jesus Cristo ba ?
So if you ask me to believe by just some part of the scriptures that says about just one being in the beginning, but never understood the words Christ made through his apostles, it is absurd. Christ was the same being as yesterday, today, and forever, the Alpha and Omega.
Malakias 2:10 Hindi ba iisa ang ating Ama? Hindi ba't iisang Diyos ang lumalang sa atin? Kung gayo'y bakit nagtataksil tayo sa isa't isa at nilalapastangan ang tipan ng ating mga ninuno?
Ama , ba si panginoong Jesus o Anak ?
Kaya tupad na tupad ang hula ang nauukol sa Anti-Cristo na darating .
I don't think it was. I think you fail everything on your cherry-picked idea. Such a poor ideology.

Represent Him Well
From a Conference Message title "Accessing God’s Power through Covenants" by Elder Dale G. Renlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
“You should not identify yourself as a disciple of Jesus Christ unless you intend to represent Him well.”
We become His disciples and represent Him well when we intentionally and incrementally take on ourselves the name of Jesus Christ through covenants. Our covenants give us power to stay on the covenant path because our relationship with Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father is changed. We are connected to Them by a covenantal bond.
How Reverence got its link to obtain Revelations?
A question was raised: How Reverence got its link to obtain Revelations?
Here's some message from Boyd K. Packer, he said this -
Revelation and reverence are inextricably combined. You will not in irreverence receive much revelation. Reverence has behavioral manifestations in meetings and there is also a depth of personal reverence that is an essential if you are going to receive revelation. Reverence means submission, it means obedience.

Jesus Christ is the Savior
I like to start posting some of the reply, but then I did I think some conversations were too rude or offensive. Just to be honest, I am simply defending my rights of religion and the belief that I know about the nature of Godhead.
Here you see some of the scriptural passages.
1 Timothy 4:1010 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
Isaiah 43:3,11
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
...
Hosea 13:44 Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.
2 Samuel 22:33 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
Acts 13:23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Philippians 3:2020 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Peter 1:1,111 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness eof God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:...Isaiah 45:15,2115 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour....Luke 2:1111 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.1 John 4:1414 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
Luke 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Obadiah 1:2121 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
Titus 3:4,64 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,...
Titus 2:10,1310 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things....
Titus 1:3-43 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;...
2 Peter 3:2,182 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:...
Old Testament Epistle Dedicatory
The Lord of heaven and earth bless Your Majesty with many and happy days, that, as his heavenly hand hath enriched Your Highness with many singular and extraordinary graces, so You may be the wonder of the world in this latter age for happiness and true felicity, to the honour of that great GOD, and the good of his Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour.
2 Timothy 1:1010 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
1 Timothy 2:33 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Isaiah 19:2020 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

Book of Mormon Anachronism: Word use Adieu
 |
| From a Group Post question by Will Liam |
I am pleased to see you all apparently cheerful and lighthearted, buoyant with hope and expectation, indicating feelings good and true, warm and kindly. Virtue and integrity, with due respect for others according to station and circumstances, will secure to you a continuation of that glow of charity and goodwill which now animates your breasts. And when you shall bid adieu to earth, may your garments be clean and white, thoroughly washed in the blood of the Lamb, Rev. 7:14 Alma 13:11 and meet with a kindly welcome in your Father's house! I will try to be with you there. Heaven bless the pure in heart, henceforth and for ever!
(English Grammar. Opening Address by Elder Orson Hyde, Delivered before his Class at the Social Hall, G. S. L. City, on Tuesday evening, December 14, 1858. Reported By: Unknown)
There are phases associated with human existence and the departure of humanity from this world that are more pleasant than others, and we should like generally, if we could have our way, to make all preparations, have everything arranged, and to leave this world, bidding adieu to our friends and companions as quietly and easily as practicable. We should all like this if we could have our own way about it. But we do not have our choice. “God moves in a mysterious way,” we are told, and the dispensations of Providence are inscrutable. Nor is it a matter of very much moment, according to my ideas, how, or in what way, we leave this world; the great object is and the great questions for us to solve are, are we prepared? Have we formed a union with God our heavenly Father? Have we obtained the forgiveness of our sins? Are we living our religion? Are we keeping the commandments of God? Have we made arrangements for our everlasting associations with beings in the eternal worlds? If we have, if this is our position, it matters but little how or when we leave this world, that must be left for the Almighty to regulate and to decide upon. (It is of Little Import How We Leave this World, so that We are Prepared to Live or Die—God Has Ordained that All Men Must Die. Discourse by Elder John Taylor, delivered at the Funeral Services of Elder Thomas Williams, in the Fourteenth Ward Assembly Rooms, Salt Lake City, Sunday Morning, July 19, 1874. Reported By: David W. Evans)
Oh, God, search me and try me, and prove me, and if there is any way of wickedness in me, exhibit it to me; let me see it that I may bid it adieu, and let me be a good Saint; let me live in the enjoyment of thy favor and let the light of the Holy Ghost and of revelation rest upon me; let me be in favor with God and my brethren and all good men, and then when I get through, receive the reward of the just. Ps. 139:23-24 (The United Order—How Unity is to Be Attained—Reform Necessary—The Order of the Kingdom of God—Stewardships. Discourse by Elder John Taylor, delivered in the Old Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, Aug. 31, 1875. Reported By: David W. Evans)
And there are about some others using the same phrase in there talk using English dialogue. Okay, so what am I up to? As the Post said that something is not right in its order where it was supposed to be in the other place. It may be right, but we should also understand how translation goes. Joseph Smith didn't translate the plates with just a word that prompt from an Egyptian or Hebrew dialect to JUST English Phrases, but rather he translates it from ancient dialect to the words they do understand during his days. Just as the word Bible which was indeed used as one of Nephi's declaration (which is in 2 Nephi 29:3-4, 6 & 10) but that (Bible) wasn't available in their days. And what will Joseph Smith supposed to do to understand the words in his time. Of course he has to translate it. And the word Adieu is not a new word in his time, both English and French speakers understood and defined it as the same meaning.
Renaissance Age usage in English
Since, Joseph Smith Jr. And the Book of Mormon was not yet introduce during this period. We can clearly conclude that Joseph knows this kind of word play during his days. But here's how the Dictionary diffination shows that this word already exist and used during Renaissance Period and it is common in their time.
In Merriam Webster give the historical background of the word that make sense during Joseph Smith's time.
The same word was used during 15th century and obviously it was used with reverence. See History and Etymology above.

Job Bautista: Understanding on Revelation 7:2-3
 |
| A response from Job Bautista to my simple Question. |
Okay, so let's ask the scripture if this was all about it. First things first. What is the context all about?
Job Bautista: Information Mislead his Understanding - Part 1
This classic criticism from a Friend who was a member of a Filipino church called INC, were he were so proud about it. He made a criticism of something he knew from a selected source, or we simply call it from his cheery-picked ideology. Let's see what we can find helpful and to think this was a doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ. Alright so the screen shot below was his comments and I'll make a response after it -
 |
| From a facebook Post where he deleted my comments. He even accuse me deleting his comments, while I don't have even an access of his personal comments section, where |
John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Alright Job Bautista, let's deal with it since you didn't read the last article that I brought to you and to your Friend Neil Andi Anderson the last time about this topic (See Here!). Or maybe you don't know how to respond my article about that subject.
So here's the thing and pay attention Job Bautista, and if you understand Biblical terms, the word Sheep describe to those people who follow and knows Christ or in simple term, the believers. And this believers knows his doctrine or teaching, that means this group of unknown people already knows Christ. If you look closely to the Phrase "Other Sheep I have" didn't said anything on the future or the past, but rather he said it in Present Tense. Here's the Greek Text to see how it was said -

The word "แผฯฯ" or "echล" which simply means "I have" in English shows that it is a Verb of Present Indicative Active for a 1st Person Singular. And it suggests that this group of people already existed not in the future. This simply means that this people like John the Baptist, who already exist before Christ made his Ministry. They already knew him and hope to see him in some time as it permits. So, and directly speaking, this is not the Filipino people who has their first conversation soon after they knew Felix Manalo and the Iglesia ni Cristo. That doesn't make sense and that's not even Biblical.
And regarding you arrogant comments about the Church in America, well perhaps we could make a good arrangement to that since it take a lot of matter to be discuss in a single sittings. So I'll link here after I made my commentaries.
And moving forward to your next comment which you arrogantly said about the Church apostles and calling it a cult. I could say nice work on that Christian teachings of INC provoking and arrogance. Here's the good part that you need to know before you post your ignorant about Church History. Here's the list of the chosen twelve and see where you can find Oliver on the list -
The Calling of the Restoration's Original Apostles
Also, Oliver Cowdery was excommunicated for a reason and it's not my problem if your ignorant or to slow to comprehend. I already told you to do some research before doing some copy paste program. Also, where did you get that idea of 22 apostle's, possibly your INC minister who spread gossip on you is unlearned. Ask your minister to keep on studying first before manipulating you and your INC members.
The Foundation, you're not even sure how the scripture said about the foundation of Church. Ephesians 2:20, says this -
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
So, who do you think had it Job Bautista? Does your INC Church follows the biblical standards and requirements to be called as a "TRUE CHURCH" as you claim?
Oh, yes I would love to use that last Scripture you used, and ask you the same good question about it. Who do you think fulfilled the Church of Christ that follow Standards of early Church that Christ built? How can you claim true church without any line of authority, and follow the same standards to organized a religion with Prophets and apostles and etc. as Christ organized.
