I would like to answer those objections raised by the former LCers in the Southern part of the Philippines:
1. Islam is a religion, it was not registered in the SEC when it started to flourish.
2. Paying taxes to Cesar does not make him head of the Church, Jesus said give to Cesar what belongs to Cesar.
3. Registering a Church in SEC does not negate it's authenticity. A false church is a church that teaches heresies.
4. None of this verses are arguing against SEC registration.
5. The Church is the bride of a Christ it only becomes a harlot church not by giving to Cesar what belongs to Cesar but by becoming worldly in deeds and desires.
6. The separation of Church and State was put into place to prevent the goverment from establishing its own religion or to prevent the State from favoring a religion. SEC registration applies to any religion without discrimination.
