(MDNN Digital) - Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy claimed that the charges filed against him by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are part of being the “Appointed Son of God” and are lies instigated by the “Devil.” Quiboloy, who is President Rodrigo Duterte’s close friend
and spiritual adviser, said it is difficult to be the ‘Appointed Son’ because people will still criticize and throw mud at you. “Mahirap ang ‘Appointed Son’ kasi ginagawa mo na ang kalooban ng lahat ng Ama, pero gagawin ka pang masama, pagwiwikaan ng masama, ididikit sa’yo ang lahat ng putik,” he said. Quiboloy, who founded the religious sect in 1985, explained
about persecution and accusations, quoting a verse from the Bible, Romans 8:35. “If we talk about persecution and accusations, Satan has hurled everything at me. But was the diamond shaken? Was the gold shaken? No!” he said. Quiboloy claimed he refused to defend himself against the FBI’s accusations.
