And for today's episode CONFUSING JERRY’S OWN INTELLECT and let's find out how his claim came to be. Let's check out Ginoong Pantas statement about my own intellect and let's challenge him to take actions on the intellect of the context that has been given that he misinterpreted. Text in blue for Ginoong Pantas, mine will be the regular text, some other will be in gray that he quoted from my previous commentary. Let's dive in -
“𝙊𝙠𝙖𝙮, 𝙨𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙙 𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙖𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙭 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙤'𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙢𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩? 𝙎𝙤, 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩? 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝, 𝙂𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨?”
𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄: Clearly, you either failed to grasp what you read or simply had no interest in discerning the essence of the INC’s stance. No wonder you ended up misrepresenting one of our doctrines.To put it plainly, the only point I disagreed with is YOUR CLAIM that the 1833 Leonid Meteor Storm is part of INC doctrine and serves as one of the supposed signs of Brother Felix Manalo’s leadership in the emergence of the true Church in the Philippines. I already made that clear, right?
If your talking about failure Ginoong Pantas, it is clear that you fail to understand my statement and misrepresent it just because I am against on your doctrine. You simple ridiculed yourself with your own ideology that doesn't even make sense. If you call me misrepresenting your doctrine, can you prove it here and just when did I quote your doctrine and misrepresent it, Ginoong Pantas? The issue is not about your claimed doctrine that again, I don't even care, the issue was all about that one even that has been fulfilled and you misunderstood my statement. Will it seems like it's the very essence of our teaching that you just quote and cherry-pick only the side that you think that is good for you. Funny right, Ginoong Pantas? The doctrine that I'm talking to was the Manalo's claim of the Fulfilled Prophecy, and it seems like you don't like it, right Ginoong Pantas? Will it seem that every time we talk about some of the known event that has been fulfilled, then we have to make sure that Manalo was involve, am I right, Ginoong Pantas? Was it the message that you want to prove here?
And yes, we CITE Revelation 6:12-13, but only to establish that the 1833 Leonid Meteor Shower was among the three (3) events recorded at the precise OPENING OF THE SIXTH SEAL in those verses. If you were truly open‑minded, you would have understood this without difficulty.But since your aim is not to examine the veracity of our doctrines but to disprove them, your only recourse is to portray the INC as contradictory or confusing. The problem is, anyone with genuine critical thinking skills will see through that and will not buy into your alibi. Tsk tsk tsk…
And here's the part where you misrepresent my statement into a contradictory to your teachings did I said anything like it Ginoong Pantas, or you just simply overreacting on the Post that I made? This is not actually a problem but it seem like you try to make a problem on it just because Mormonism was involve. Oh yeah sure, so every time we talk about religion, lets just stick to just INC was the only religion, nothing more nothing less, was it what you want Ginoong Pantas? And again, I am basing my Post on things that has been quoted widely in and out of your INC circle and I am not basing any doctrine of yours which I don't care, so why would I take a deep seek on just the side of your religion that doesn't make sense to me, Ginoong Pantas? Have you seen the problem here? It is not me or the post that I made, it's your interpretations and bigotry. And clearly you have a problem, not mine.

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄: Oh, you never said that? Then take a look at the very first screenshot I attached in this postyou can see it for yourself. I’m done being redundant when it is you who keeps contradicting your own statements. And wait… you still think your post is ACCURATE when you claimed that “it is one of the signs” connected to the emergence of the Church in the Philippines? That only reinforces my point.
Now I understand the wisdom behind the Filipino saying: “𝘈𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘢 𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘩𝘶𝘩𝘶𝘭𝘪 𝘴𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘯𝘪𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘨” (a fish is usually caught by its own mouth).
Oh really, what about let's post the Tagalog Version so you can see the syntax of the sentences that I made and point me out where I said that It was indeed the signal of the beginning of your so-call Sugo of the Far East Philippines. Take me where did it says something about it Ginoong Pantas, so here's the Tagalog version -
@lahat Nakakatuwang Katotohanan na maaaring interesado kayo. Isa sa mga doktrina o turo ng INC na itinuro bilang isa sa mga katuparan ng Ka Felix Manalo ay ang mga palatandaan kung paano umusbong ang simbahan sa Pilipinas. (Period) Isa sa mga palatandaang iyon ay ang 1833 Meteor Shower, o kung tawagin nila, ang 1833 Leonid Meteor Storm, na tinutukoy ito sa Apocalipsis 6:12-13, kung hindi ako nagkakamali. Ngunit narito ang kawili-wiling bahagi. Hinulaan ni Joseph Smith ang eksaktong petsa kung kailan ito lilitaw. Wala pa akong ginagawang artikulo tungkol dito, at ginagawa ko pa rin ang aking blog, ngunit narito ang isa mula sa Joseph Smith Foundation tungkol sa artikulong iyon. Maaari ka ring maghanap sa isang independiyenteng site na may kaugnayan sa paksang ito at alamin kung paano ito nangyari. Salamat sa lahat, at magandang gabi.
So here it is Ginoong Pantas, and I won't be surprise if you still didn't catch it. See the Period Marking right after the BLACK text? Those were simply a separate structure and I put the red mark stating that you and the rest of the INC community believe or have this doctrine/teaching of this Felix Manalo's fulfilled Prophecy or whatever you call it which I don't think necessary to include all of it in the structure of my Post. And right after the Period I mark the Purple text as a separate sentence stating that one of those events (Not the Doctrine in General) which is also used by other religious organization that you're not aware of, was also found in LDS circle. Get it now Ginoong Pantas? Now tell me what kind of fish that you have caught, Ginoong Pantas? Pinalawak mo ba Pag-iisip mo, Ginoong Pantas?

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄: Again, I am not the one confused hereYOU ARE. In fact, you ended up contradicting your own statements while straining to explain yourself just to save face. My answer remains unchanged: the Leonid Meteor Shower of November 13, 1833 was only one of the three events prophesied in Revelation 6:12-13. It was never taught as a sign of the Church’s emergence in the Philippines, as you implied in your FUN FACT post.
Again, Ginoong Pantas. It is you who has a problem here, I am just giving you and the INC belief that you have now a favor that Felix Manalo has a ground of his so-call prophecy fulfilled, and yet you misinterpret it. And tell me which part is the contradiction of my statement? You cant even lead me where rather misrepresent my word to thing that you don't like. Again, it is you who have the problem here Ginoong Pantas, and clearly you confused yourself even in this response that you made. You even agree that this event is one of the three events on your teachings, and yet you dislike my post just because it was fulfilled by Joseph Smith. Either it was all about Jealousy or Anger Issue, Ginoong Pantas and now you brought it up to the Public. Go ahead and tell the public that you don't believe in that event as part of Manalo's fulfilled Prophecy if you think a bad idea to include it in your INC studies.
And regarding your claim that Joseph Smith allegedly predicted it, here we are again… my friend, there is NO known written record from 1833 itself. No diary entry from Joseph Smith predicting it beforehand. No documented sermon from that time mentioning such a prophecy. No contemporary witness account recorded at the moment it supposedly happened. What exists instead are retrospective narratives, accounts written long after the fact, precisely the kind of material historians treat with caution.
I have already made my statement about this and again you have no answers on my commentary about it. Why wont you include it here and answer my questions if you have credibility? Why would you just select only the good part that you like and mislead people to just go on in your ideology. Go ahead and answer the post that I made on this challenge that you opened up and get back here with your response.

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄: No, you clearly DO NOT get my point. The fact that your response is riddled with uncertainties already speaks volumes. Opinion is not the same as doctrine, and whether you consider that a big deal or not is irrelevant.

To put it plainly, the only point I disagreed with is YOUR CLAIM that the 1833 Leonid Meteor Storm is part of INC doctrine and serves as one of the supposed signs of Brother Felix Manalo’s leadership in the emergence of the true Church in the Philippines. I already made that clear, right?

does this truly sound like an ATTACK on the Catholic faith? My friend, you should have taken the time to read the introduction, preface, or foreword of the book before leaping to hasty conclusions. And yes, Joseph J. Kavanagh did write an article commenting on Bro. Manalo’s book, particularly on Rev. 6:12-13, which describes the prophesied events that unfolded when the sixth seal was opened (including the 1833 Leonid Meteor Shower, the very “falling of the stars” you contend).
I appreciate that you recognize yourself as not close‑minded, but I hope you use that quality to avoid misrepresenting our doctrines.
Many of these are drawn from official INC sources such as the Pasugo magazine, while others are modified articles from original authors to avoid copyright issues.
So sharing a supposed FACT isn’t a big deal to you? Come on… not only did you present it as factual, you even went as far as to claim that it is “one of the doctrines or teachings of INC” supposedly connected to the fulfillment of Brother Felix Manalo’s and the Church’s emergence in the Philippines, when in reality, YOU’RE NOT EVEN CERTAIN how such a claim could be considered an official doctrine, or whether it has ever been taught that way at all.
