Si Kristo tao, si Ka Felix Manalo anghel?

Maraming taong nabubuwang sa pagkakaintindi sa turo sa Iglesia ni Cristo. 

Bakit nabubuwang? 

Dahil hindi nila maintindihan ang totoong turo ng Iglesia ni Cristo tungkol kay Kristo at kay Ka Felix Manalo kung kaya hilo sila sa pagsasabing "ano ba yan, mas dakila pa pala si Manalo kesa kay Kristo kasi si Kristo TAO LANG si Manalo ANGHEL!"

Tanong, TOTOO ba ang kanilang pagkakaintindi at akusasyon na MAS DAKILA, at MAS MATAAS daw ang ranggo diumano ni Ka Felix Manalo sa ating Panginoong Hesukristo na tagapamagitan at tagapagligtas?

Sagot: HINDI. Kailanman ay hindi namin kinilala at kahit kailan ay hinding hindi namin kikilalanin na mas mataas si Ka Felix Manalo sa ating Panginoong HesuKristo!

Klaruhin natin ang mga bagay-bagay....

Ang turo ng Iglesia ni Cristo sa LIKAS NA KALAGAYAN ni Kristo ay TAO. Pag sinabi po naming tao siya, hindi po namin sinasabing TAO "LANG" na parang ordinaryong tao lang dahil kung nagbabasa tayo ng bibliya alam natin na marami siyang ginawa na hindi nagawa o hindi kayang gawin ng ordinaryong TAO. Pero hindi porke nakagawa siya ng mga bagay na hindi kayang gawin ng ordinaryong tao eh DIYOS AGAD.

Bakit?

Dahil tayo mismo ang nakakasaksi na may mga tao din naman ngayon na nakakagawa ng mga bagay bagay na hindi kayang gawin ng ordinaryong tao. Kaya hindi natin pwedeng sabihing DIYOS din sila.

Ang turo naman ng Iglesia ni Cristo sa pagka-anghel ni Ka Felix Manalo ay hindi yung anghel na iniisip nating nakakulay puti na may pakpak. Si Ka Felix Manalo ay tao lang din. Ang sinasabi namin ay siya ang katuparan ng hula bilang pangatlong anghel sa Rev. 9-11, at itong "anghel" na binabanggit sa talatang ito ay hindi namin tinuturing na anghel na kulay puti na may pakpak kundi ang ibig sabihin sa amin nito ay "sugo ng Diyos" o "Messenger of God". 

At hindi porke sinasabi namin na sa Rev. 9-11 at sa Rev. 7:2-3 ay "Messenger of God" ang ibig sabihin nito sa amin hindi namin sinasabi na sa lahat ng buong nilalaman ng bibliya na kapag may "ANGHEL" na nakasulat ay hindi ito yung mga espiritong anghel na nasa langit na ginawa ng Diyos.

Ayon na rin sa Christiananswers.net:

The word “angel” actually comes from the Greek word aggelos, which means “messenger.” The matching Hebrew word mal'ak has the same meaning.  

Sometimes, the Bible uses these words for human beings:

• ordinary people who carry messages (Job 1:14; Luke 7:24; 9:52)
• prophets (Isaiah 42:19; Malachi 3:1)
• priests (Malachi 2:7)
• church leaders (Rev 1:20)

Sometimes, it speaks figuratively of things or events as “messengers”…

• the pillar of cloud (Exodus 14:19)
• pestilence or plagues (2 Samuel 24:16-17)

But it usually describes the whole range of spirits whom God has created, including both good and evil angels, and special categories such as cherubim, seraphim, and the archangel.

Angels are mentioned at least 108 times in the Old Testament and 165 times in the New Testament (Chafer, Systematic Theology, II, 3). Hence, there is ample information available in Scripture to allow us to build a foundation for our knowledge of angelic beings.

Kung sinasabi ninyong mas mataas si Ka Felix Manalo dahil kinikilala namin siyang ANGHEL at si Kristo eh TAO "LANG", eh di mas mataas din pala si John the Baptist kay Kristo dahil siya ay tinawag ding ANGHEL?

"And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind? But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments, are in the houses of kings. But what went you out to see? a prophet? yea I tell you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee." Matt. 11:7-10 Douay Rheims Bible

Eh ano daw ba ang dapat na maging pagkakaintindi natin dito?

Ayon sa Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible commentary:

"...which last is the true sense of the passage: nor should it be once called in question, when our Lord himself has applied it to John the Baptist; to whom the things said in it perfectly agree. He was an "angel", not by nature, but by office; a "messenger" sent by God,..."

Yun naman pala, hindi naman pala BY NATURE na ANGHEL si John the Baptist kundi MESSENGER pala ang ibig sabihin noon... Kaya nga sa ibang salin ng bibliya eh ganito ang nakasaad:

"This is the one of whom it is written, Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You, who shall make ready Your way before You." Matt. 11:10 Amplified bible

Pero dahil gusto ko ay happy kayo, sige sakyan nating yan pagkakaintindi niyo na kesyo si Ka Felix Manalo ay anghel na hindi simpleng "messenger of God" ang ibig sabihin kundi yung espiritung anghel na kulay puti na may pakpak, pero ang tanong, MAS DAKILA BA o MAS MATAAS BA ANG ANGHEL KAY KRISTO?

"Siya ang kaliwanagan ng kaluwalhatian ng Ama at ang ganap na kapahayagan ng pagka-Diyos ng Ama. Siya ang humahawak ng lahat ng bagay sa pamamagitan ng salita ng kaniyang kapangyarihan. Pagkatapos niyang gawin ang paglilinis sa ating mga kasalanan, umupo siya sa kanan ng Kamahalan sa kaitaasang dako. Yamang siya ay higit pang dakila sa mga anghel, ang pangalan na kaniyang minana ay higit pa kaysa sa kanilang pangalan." Hebreo 1:3-4

Tignan natin sa ibat ibang salin ang Hebreo 1:4:

Naku, kahit naman pala ipagpilitan ninyong ANGHEL SI KA FELIX MANALO, yung may pakpak, hindi pa rin pala siya magiging MAS DAKILA O MAS MATAAS KESA SA ATING PANGINOONG HESUKRISTO!
