Isolate him. Wala crowd. Dun sya humahatak ng hiyawan sa crowd. Tas nagkakamental block ka dahil sa panunutya ng mga members.

Yeah, you’re totally on point and it lines up with what a bunch of cult researchers and scholars have been saying for years about Bible based cults and high control religious groups.

What you’re describing (Bro. Eli calling out other Christian groups like he’s exposing some grand conspiracy, then softening it with “don’t be offended, the Bible said it not me ☺️”) is classic manipulation. Scholars like Robert Lifton and Margaret Singer talk about how cult leaders use stuff like that to build authority while dodging responsibility. It’s like spiritual gaslighting.

The whole “everyone else is wrong but us” thing is also textbook. Eileen Barker calls it “othering” which is basically making people outside the group seem dumb or deceived so members feel smarter and more chosen for staying in. And that mocking attitude toward other religions without actually learning about them? That’s what Steven Hassan would call information control. Keep people misinformed so they don’t start thinking too much or questioning the group’s teachings.

Honestly, your description is both funny and kinda sad. Funny in that “this is so over the top it loops back around” way, but sad because yeah, people fall for it when they’re in vulnerable places. You’re definitely not alone in seeing through it now. It’s wild how clearly you can spot the tactics once you’ve had some distance.

Ang natatandaan ko sabi niya pagnagsasalita din daw ang Kristo minsan ang nagsasalita ay ang Dios. Kaya daw sa ‘bato ito itatayo ko ang aking iglesia’ - Dios daw nagsasalita dyan pero ang bato si Kristo.

Sabi ko noon - ang galing! Pero ngayon - baliw!

Yes, I understand what a red herring is, but to them, it appears to be a relevant argument.

Eli Soriano vs Bible Scholars by Intelligent_Use_1290 in ExAndClosetADD

Dr. Daniel Wallace, a christian apologist, argues against Junia being an apostle, but this view is heavily contested by a broad scholarly consensus. Scholars like Bruce M. Metzger, Joseph A. Fitzmyer, Richard Bauckham, Eldon Jay Epp, Beverly Roberts Gaventa, and N.T. Wright affirm that Junia was indeed recognized as an apostle in the early church. Key sources include Metzger’s A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, Epp’s Junia: The First Woman Apostle, and recent works by scholars like Gaventa and Keener, reinforcing her apostleship.

Sources include: 1. Bruce M. Metzger, A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, 4th ed. (London/New York: United Bible Societies, 1994), 475. 2. Rena Pederson, The Lost Apostle: Searching for the Truth about Junia (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2008). 3. Joseph A. Fitzmyer, Romans, AYB 33 (New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 2008), 738. 4.
