The Verse That Exposed Kuya Daniel’s Weakest Link (1 Peter 3:15)

In a desperate attempt to shield himself from scrutiny and accountability, Kuya Daniel Razon, the current head of the Members Church of God International (MCGI), has twisted one of the clearest biblical mandates into a personal defense mechanism. His latest reinterpretation of 1 Peter 3:15, a verse widely regarded as a cornerstone of Pagtatanggol ng doktrina, reveals not just a doctrinal flaw, but a systemic collapse of leadership built on fear, evasion, and spiritual incompetence.

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." —1 Peter 3:15 (KJV)

The Weakest Excuse Ever Preached

In what many now call the lamest excuse ever delivered from the pulpit, Daniel Razon argued:

“Hindi naman nakasulat na ‘lagi kami handa’ kundi ‘lagi kayong handa’…”

With this line, he attempts to wash his hands of responsibility. The clear imperative of the verse, to always be ready to answer, is redirected toward the congregation, conveniently exempting the man with the microphone. The irony? The man who claims prophetic inheritance from Bro. Eli now declares himself exempt from the very kind of discourse that once defined MCGI's boldness.

A Doctrinal Downgrade

Razon's doctrinal grasp is so fragile that he confuses “katuwiran” (reason) with “paggawa ng mabuti” (righteousness), a lazy equivocation using 1 John 3:7 to mangle 1 Peter 3:15. The Greek word logos, used in 1 Peter, demands a rational explanation, not silent obedience or vague moral living.

Kuya Daniel Razon: From Gun Enthusiast to Gospel-Evading Preacher.  Once armed with bullets, now dodging questions.

Institutional Demoralization

The ripple effects of this distortion are now undeniable. KNPs are whispering. Workers are hesitating. Closet members are no longer hiding. MCGI’s ranks, once fortified by the confidence of doctrinal clarity, are now fracturing under the weight of performative leadership and unspoken doubts.

More and more are reaching a tipping point.

Where members once asked in whispers, “Bakit hindi na sumasagot si Kuya?”, now they declare with certainty. “Ayoko na. Mali na talaga ito.”

And they’re not just walking away. They’re joining us.

Kuya Daniel Razon’s verbal acrobatics just to dodge the idea of being questioned is painfully weak—it's driving more doubters and closet members to finally leave.

Silence is Strategic

Let’s be clear. This is not about differing styles. This is about structural deceit. By muting public Q&A, by abandoning doctrinal engagement, and by spinning false binaries between "execution" and "defense," Daniel Razon has turned a once-apologetic church into a monologue of control.

What was once a ministry of reasoning is now a performance of avoidance.

The Final Blow

When a leader can’t handle questions, he doesn’t just weaken his doctrine, he forfeits his right to lead. 1 Peter 3:15 was not a suggestion. It was a command. Razon’s refusal to honor it is not humility. It is theological malpractice.

And the people are waking up.

The exodus has begun. The silence he imposed is now collapsing under the weight of exposed contradictions, tired defenses, and tired members no longer willing to pretend.

This is not just a doctrinal misstep. It is the death of credibility.

And for MCGI’s leadership, it might just be the beginning of the end.
