The Blunder of Eli Soriano

“The Blunder of Mr. Soriano in the Bible”
Soriano said in his Radio Program

1. The Sabbath is for the Israel only, because only in this generation the Lord made covenant.   Not to their parents but for them only. Soriano uses the Bible also like Satan but twisted the bible to their original meaning.

                    Deuteronomy 5:3 “The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.”

      So, meaning SDA or all Christians should not keep the Ten Commandments because the covenant made only to Israel not to the Christians nor to Seventh0day Adventist.

BURDEN OF PROOF
 by Dr. Rey Medina and Nelven Alavanza

1.Mr. Soriano, you mean to say all the nations, all the tribes, all the race of the people what so ever, they have no law particularly the Ten Commandments?
      a. If that is true we as Filipinos do you mean Mr. Soriano we can commit adultery, murder, gambling all the sin that we can commit in the Covenant, written in Stone?

2. Mr. Soriano, you mean the parents of Israel or the People before the Israel did not obey the law of God particularly the Ten Commandment or the Covenant written in Stone?
            (Like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob before the Mt. Sinai etc.)

Exposition Answer
by Pastor Gideon Durante

Question before we explain Deuteronomy 5:3
     How the Lord made the Ten Commandments or the Covenant? Written in stone or not?
Answer: Written in the Stone!

 Correct!

The Meaning of Deuteronomy 5:3 that the covenant did not made to the father (HINDI PINAGTIBAY SA ATING MGA MAGULANG)
mean it is not written in the stone before the parents of Israel like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Only in their times that God wrote the Ten Commandments using his own finger Exodus 31:18.
 But that is not mean, they are not obey the Ten Commandments.

Here is the proof that Abraham obey the Covenant or the Ten Commandments before Mt. Sinai!
       Genesis 35:2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

As you can see this text the command of Jacob is same in the command in the covenant written in stone.
          Exodus 20:3 Thou shall have no other gods before me.
Meaning before Mt. Sinai the law about Thou shall no other gods before is already practice by Jacob and his entire household. Another law the second law we found in
          Gen 31:19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
      Genesis 35:2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

That is also written in Exo 20:4  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Exo 20:5  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

So, meaning before Mt. Sinai before God wrote the ten commandments in the stone there is start of obeying it!

      Look also Gen 26:25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
Genesis 6:25 show us that Isaac mention the name of the Lord not in vain but in connection in the altar! In the Ten Commandments here it is Exo 20:7 Thou shall not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

The Fourth Commandment says,
Exo 20:8  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Before that God give us example before the Mt. Sinai!

Gen 2:2  And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

Gen 2:3  And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Mar 2:27 And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
The Fifth Commandment
  Exo 20:12  Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
               IF Soriano is very true to his Doctrine meaning to say Jacob did not obey his mother and father because the commandment Honour thy Father and thy Mother is for Israel only according to Bro. Soriano.
But he is very wrong because according to the Bible Jacob obey his Mother and Father!
     Gen 28:7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
Sixth Commandment

Exo 20:13  Thou shall not kill.
IF Soriano is very true to his Doctrine meaning to say Cain should not curse by God by Killing his brother Abel! Because the commandment Thou shall not kill is for Israel only according to Bro. Soriano. Not for their father nor for the Christians!


    Gen 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

Gen 4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

Gen 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

Gen 4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
but as you notice, God curse Cain by killing his brother! Meaning in the time of Cain and Abel killing is not good! It is sin against God!
Seventh Commandment
Exo 20:14  Thou shall not commit adultery.
IF Soriano is very true to his Doctrine meaning to say Abimelech is wrong when he said it is sin to have sex in the women who had a husband because the commandment Thou shall not kill is for Israel only according to Bro. Soriano. Not for their father nor for the Christians!

but read the Bible how Abimelech talk to Abraham that he is angry because Abraham lied that Sarah is not his wife!
Gen 26:10  Abimelech said, "You have done a bad thing to us. One of our men might have had sex with your wife. Then he would be guilty of a great sin."
it is very clear that in the times of Isaac, Rebecca and Abimelech it is sin to commit adultery!
Another point that Soriano lied to the people, that his doctrine is not in the Bible, he put only his own interpretation rather than the interpretation of the bible!


Eight Commandment
Exo 20:15  "You must not steal anything.

->IF Soriano is very true to his Doctrine meaning to say Jacob is wrong when he said those who steal that is not belongs to you will be killed. Sa taglog pa. (mamatay ng nagnakaw) because the commandment Thou shall not steal is for Israel only according to Bro. Soriano. Not for their father nor for the Christians!
but the Doctrine of Soriano is very far to the bible!

Gen 31:30  I know that you want to go back to your home. That is why you left. But why did you steal the gods from my house?"

Gen 31:31  Jacob answered, "I left without telling you, because I was afraid. I thought you would take your daughters away from me.

Gen 31:32  But I did not steal your gods. If you find anyone here with me who has taken your gods, they will be killed. Your men will be my witnesses. You can look for anything that belongs to you. Take anything that is yours." (Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen Laban's gods.)
It is very clear before the Mt. Sinai before God wrote the Ten Commandments to steal is a sin!
Ninth Commandment
Exo 20:16  "You must not tell lies about other people.
->IF Soriano is very true to his Doctrine meaning to say Abimelech is wrong again when he said that lies is not good work, when Abraham lied about his wife Sarah because the commandment Thou shall not steal is for Israel only according to Bro. Soriano. Not for their father nor for the Christians!
but the Doctrine of Soriano is very far to the bible!
Gen 20:5  Abraham himself told me, 'This woman is my sister,' and she also said, 'This man is my brother.' I am innocent. I did not know what I was doing."
Gen 20:9  Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, "Why have you done this to us? What wrong did I do to you? Why did you lie and say that she was your sister? You brought great trouble to my kingdom. You should not have done this to me.
It is very clear that lie is not good and it is sin against God! Before the Mt. Sinai.

Tenth Commandment
Exo 20:17  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Before the MT. Sinai covetousness is hated by God and the people in that time..
Exo 18:21  Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
In the Bible verses that we read it is very clear that in the time of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Ten Commandments has a starting point. Before it was made in the two tables of stones in the Mt. Sinai written by the finger of God!

The Second point is this
the Word made the covenant or “pinagtibay ang tipan” in the Hebrew word “karath-berith” or other word the covenant was made the KJV is correct also with this translation. There is promise between God and Israel.

Exo 19:5  Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
Exo 19:6  And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Exo 19:7  And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
Gal 3:17  And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
that is the covenant .

How the covenant made or to be strong?
By Blood Sprinkle
 Exodus 24:8 and
 by writing on the stone Exodus 31:18.

The Word made the covenant o pinagtibay ang tipan does not mean during that time only the Ten Commandment Exist! Before the Mt. Sinai the Ten Commandments is existed already. (See the txt above)
So, we can conclude that the teaching of Soriano is not true it is all lie and does not biblical sound!
