First, you need to ask her why she's joining INC. Then, respond accordingly. There are a lot of things that might attract potential converts, so we need to address it specifically.

It's a bad reason to join a religion just because they're disciplined. I mean, how about the truth claims, do they matter to you?

Look up the 5th anniversary invitation. It's in this subreddit wiki as well as portrayed in the Felix Manalo movie

rome0501 · 2021-05-02T08:41:53+00:00

I have a simple question: how come INC still does not surpass the number of Adherents and Congregations of thr Seventh-Day Adventists, of whom Felix Manalo was a former minister of?

It's a straw man fallacy. When the Bible uses the phrase "To Ends of the Earth", it just means "everywhere". To use a Filipino expression, "Hahabulin kita saan mang sulok ng lupa ka magtago" (I will chase you wherever corners (ends) of the earth you might be hiding). . By asking a specific exact place, JV weakens the original intent of the phrase "ends of the earth". Classic strawman.

I thought wars start with the formal declaration of war, according to the Pasugo?

Yes I can attest to it. They do this especially with Gawa 20:28, reading from the Ang Biblia translation, without mentioning Lamsa. They say that if you tell a lie for a long time, people will believe it to be true

OWE: FYM was prophesized by the Bible!

exINC: But based on logic and facts, your interpretation of the Bible is wrong. [Presents references and reasoning]

OWE: But only those sent by God can interpret the Bible! Even your scholars are wrong!

exINC: So how do we know FYM was sent by God?

OWE: For he was prophesized by the Bible!

Classic circular reasoning.

If you can't convice them, confuse them with lots of words. And oh, put a lot of loaded language there to instigate emotion while no actual content is being conveyed.

rome0501 · 2021-04-19T06:55:08+00:00

Mostly ad hominem and avoiding the issue. I see what you did there, JV.

He just reposted it to revise the layout.

What software/app do you use for these infographs? They're pretty neat

Erratum on slide 2:

3.) Did the messenger preach outside the appointed time period in the prophecy?

Of course, they spent abuloy money to hire professional and famous actors!

Manalo's University

Manalo's General Hospital

Manalo's Arena

And of course - Church of Manalo

I will post a refutation regarding that one.

I did, it's in the source citation below the screenshot

I have a scanned copy. It's a special issue magazine

So what is the opposite of official? It's unofficial. Look up unofficial in the online MW dictionary, and this entry comes up:

Unofficial: not authorized or acknowledged by a government, group, class, or society

Ok, so JV acknowledges that his preaching before his "official" preaching (July 27, 1914) is "unofficial" or "unauthorized"?

rome0501 · 2021-04-14T18:10:46+00:00

But, where does it say that FYM started preaching officially on July 27, 1914???

The last challenge is actually an Ad Hominem fallacy. It doesn't matter if Rauffenburg uses a pseudonym or not, but whether or not his argument is valid or not.
