(Reddit) From Ex-INC member:

Q: Do any of you ex-INC recall when the Manalista cult used to teach this stolen doctrine from the Adventist church?

I certainly do. (It was once a bread-and-butter doctrine against Catholics taught inside the INC cult.)

During my early years in the INC cult, this doctrine was heavily taught to combat against the Roman Catholic Church. In the comic book propaganda tracts by the INC cult, you can see a portrayal of Eraño Manalo giving a lesson on the Roman Papacy as the number of the beast (666).

Felix Manalo taught this plagiarized teaching all the time as did his son, Erano. It is not taught anymore or seldom taught by the Manalista ministers. At least from what I could determine.

Felix Manalo made claims that the Adventist church (a church he was a pastor for, then expelled in 1913) taught false teachings. However, he blatantly plagiarized giant chunks from his former church such as the doctrine of the Pope as the Beast = 666.

Vicarius Filii Dei = 666 = Roman Papacy (Pope)

Therefore, Felix Manalo taught teachings he deemed were falsely taught by false religions. Naturally, this makes him a false preacher based on his own reasoning.

The internet has been a huge impact as many documents are now digitized and archived and we "critical thinkers" can discover the copying and plagiaristic habits of Felix Manalo.

Don't be fooled anymore, friends.

"Doing better with less is a smart strategy. It's not about doing more in work, health, or relationships, but about having better quality with fewer things. When you're young, trying many things is normal, but as time goes on, it's crucial to be really good at a few things. Success doesn't just come from doing well; it comes from excelling in something unique. If you're the best at what you do, you can make a big difference and get rewarded a lot."
