Now we're at the end of the season, we are now at Part 9 titled ARGUMENTUM AD MARTYRIUM this will be the Season Finale, LOL! And it's gonna be fun taking some of Ginoong Pantas Notes on this one. We'll just go ahead without further adieu. Color code text as usual. Let's dive in -

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄: Here we go again… you’re asking me how I know there were no sermons or records from 1833 mentioning Joseph Smith’s alleged prophecy? The answer is simple: because NONE EXIST. There is no contemporary documentation, no diary entry, no sermon manuscript, no witness account written at the time of the Leonid Meteor Shower. What we have are recollections written decades later, long after memory has been reshaped by belief and loyalty. Historians do not dismiss these accounts out of bias; they treat them with caution precisely because they are retrospective, not contemporary evidence.
And here we go with your Argumentum ad Ignorantiam. Oh sure, do you want me to use the same statement on your believe. Then tell me, was there any First Hand account from Felix Manalo himself, or a diary entry or sermon entry or recording from his mouth about his 3 days fasting or study? Do you have any witnesses of this account? If so, then prove it. Retrospective right, Ginoong Pantas? Again, if you throw up a statement be sure you have to back it up. This might be a Tu Quoque and yet reasonable enough; while you brought it up and since you don't accept the account of the witnesses, then go ahead provide an evidence on your side of doctrine.
And as for your appeal to martyrdom, dying for a testimony does not automatically make that testimony historically reliable. People across religions and ideologies have died for convictions that later proved mistaken or unverifiable. The question is not whether someone believed strongly enough to suffer for it, but whether the claim itself can be substantiated by evidence. In this case, without contemporary proof, the narrative collapses into later storytelling, passionate, yes, but historically fragile.
And how do you know that they lie? That's the only question that you should/must have a ground, of course that same question would satisfy Felix Manalo's excuses. Okay, Then let's do that. If you can provide an honest evidence then the case is closed. Same thing goes with Felix Manalo's witness; you have none but of course I couldn't find evidence about it, so why would I question that right, Ginoong Pantas? Let's be clear here, Ginoong Pantas; just where did you get that idea of irrational questioning?

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄: Come on, Jerry…that is precisely the point: NO SUCH EVIDENCE EXISTS. There are no contemporary sermons, no diary entries, no documented witness accounts from that year that record him predicting the Leonid Meteor Shower beforehand. What surfaces instead are recollections written decades later, shaped by memory and loyalty, which historians rightly treat with caution. To dismiss the absence of records as “false” simply because there are no minutes of meeting is not scholarship, it is speculation. I hate to repeat this all over again, my friend.
And as for your attempt to deflect by questioning Brother Felix Manalo’s divine mission, that is a separate matter entirely.The INC’s doctrines are grounded in Scripture and in the fulfillment of prophecy, not in retrospective storytelling.
Yeah of course it's a separate matter where you can't clearly point the solution of the issue. Is it wrong, Ginoong Pantas? And let's use your ideology on that part, Can you prove the Retrospective Storytelling of Manalo's Preparation of ministry grounded with divine mission? Do you have evidence on that, or more accurately as always, you will appeal to a Biblical Eisegesis? You can't; 'cause you don't have evidence, right, Ginoong Pantas?
The issue here is not whether people believed strongly enough to write journals or even die for their convictions, but whether the claim itself can be substantiated by evidence. Without contemporary proof, your narrative remains fragile, passionate perhaps, but historically unverified.
Then, why are you asking it on the first place? Why would you think on finding a source such as personal journal (where actually they have), sermon, or whatever you came up in mind on such a borrow argument from old trash critics? And if you want evidence, it was already there. The only problem was, you won't accept it of course because Manalo wasn't involve, right, Ginoong Pantas? And How do you know it's unverified? Maybe because, there's no computer Technology at that time, am I right Ginoong Pantas? So it will be always be unverified, right Ginoong Pantas? Then can you verify your Doctrine of Manalo? Oh, wait! I get it, it's a different topic, right? LOL!

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄: The real issue is whether Joseph Smith truly predicted the Leonid Meteor Shower of November 13, 1833 AT THAT TIME, with evidence from his own words or contemporary records. Unlike Joseph, son of Jacob, who foretold Egypt’s seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine and whose prophecy was preserved in Scripture, Smith’s alleged prediction lacks such immediate documentation. Even the journal you cited carries a stain of uncertainty: the date itself is illegible due to a tear, leaving scholars to guess whether it was written on the 14th, 17th, or 19th of November. The language of Partridge’s letter even suggests it was drafted after the event, not during it.
WOW! Just WOW! So, tell me, Ginoong Pantas; Who wrote the story of Joseph in Egypt and the rest of the 7 years of Plenty and Famine Story? Do you have the first hand account of the people who were there who witness the event, or the author itself who wrote it as if it was the first hand account? So, who authored the Book and just when did the story was written by the author? Do you know the Year Gap of the authors writing and the event, Ginoong Pantas? Now go ahead and make a comparison, then tell me the difference? You have time to research. I won't bother responding the commentary above, just provide me with the evidence you have now on your claim.
So how can this be relied upon as proof?
Oh sure, let's assume it wasn't. So tell me the Example you got there; How can it be relied upon as proof? Yeah right, why would they didn't record the prophecy? Then try asking that same thing on your religion, you will get a funny response. Yea yea, sure you said it already, so I'll be waiting for you to respond on the questions I ask on your part of the story. So provide me at least 1 (one) witness that will prove Felix Manalo was called of God and that he has a first hand account of his testimony, and we're done. Go ahead, Ginoong Pantas.

Oh wait! Was there More of this Ginoong Pantas?
