The corrupt power hungry pastor of Manila - Benny Abante Jul 13th, 2018   [viewed 6419 times]

Bishop Bienvenido Mirando Abante / Benny Abante is the pastor of the Metropolitan Bible Baptist Ekklesia.

He is well known as a power hungry pastor as he has been in politics for several years. Had it not for his defeat he would still be in politics. He has been City councilor and congressman for Metro Manila. He uses his influence among Independent Baptist pastors to further his political cause. Investigation and inside information reveals that he has spent millions in every elections just to win (His spending of millions is also a violation of election laws, something that a pastor should not be doing. Ask yourself, how do you expect can he recoup his investments ? The answer is quite obvious of course)

He is known to be a corrupt politician having spent millions of pesos for his campaign (Ask yourself how he intends to recoup that) Further he has been involved in the KAMPI FUND MESS, a controversy sometime in 2007 wherein politicians were given somewhere from Php200,000.00 to Php 500,000.00 each. When he was given that money he "assumed it was a form of assistance from the administration party" (That big an amount an assitance ??? Picture this he goes to the palace for an official function and somebody whom he does not know allegedly gave him a bag with the said amount. Fr. Panlilio who was also a priest who happens to be a politician was given the said amount but exposed the act right away, it was all over the news because of him but Benny Abante kept his mouth shut for sometime. Now that tells you what kind of person this man is.

Aside from this Bienvenido Mirando Abante / Benny Abante is also known to be somewhat a violent person. He is known to threaten with physical violence people under him. If he gets aggitated with somebody he engages in a conversation with (like what he did to an American pastor who we will not name here) he will shout curses and threaten to hit that someone. He is fond of saying that he will "educate" someone who disagrees with him. Such a haughty man and somebody who is very full of pride and himself.

1 Timothy 3 gives us the qualifications of a Bishop and the Bible says a Bishop must be above reproached, not a lover of money, gentle, not quarrelsome and temperate. Bienvenido Mirando Abante / Benny Abante is clearly not this kind of man and does not deserve to become a Bishop.
