Netizens Celebrate With Bro. Eli On Debate Win

Congratulatory messages and commendations poured in for the televangelist Bro. Eli Soriano, after the emphatic victory of his debate against Pastor Rubens Sodré of South America on September 22 (PHT).

Sodré uses no biblical verses to support his arguments and uses only his own explanations to tackle the issues of the discussion.

One issue, is that the South American Pastor believes that there's no need for Christians to congregate or assemble.

Bro. Eli told him that "If I can read in the Bible that we need to  physically congregate, you will admit that you are wrong?"

Then Bro. Soriano read the verse at Hebrews 10:24-25 that says "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

At one point of the debate, Sodré requested the lapel microphone of Bro. Eli to be removed for he thought someone is dictating the verses to Bro. Eli!

It reaped a good laugh from everyone and cheering by the audience for Bro. Soriano ensued. Sodré admitted his mistake and apologized to Bro. Eli.

The lapel mic by Bro. Eli was requested to be tested by Pastor Rubens Sodré for

What he didn't know, but what Filipinos know so well — after years and years of Bible Expositions and debates in the country — is that Bro. Eli knows the Bible by heart.

"My poor opponent thought that somebody is dictating verses to me during the debate; Yes, SOMEONE dictates but not through the headset or mic!" Bro. Soriano tweeted after the debate was concluded.


Bro. Eli said that God is that 'SOMEONE' who is dictating all the answers that he needed for the debate win. 




Even though the debate started at midnight of Monday (September 21), in the Philippines, Filipinos still made time to watch the debate, which is streamed live on O Caminho Antigo's Youtube channel.

Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter was filled with photos and messages from the debate which is streamed live on Youtube.

From the Philippines and also in countries abroad, netizens shared their thoughts online by Tweeting using the hashtag #LiveDebateWithBroEli during and after the event.

Here are some of the tweet highlights during the night:








(Translation: "Before I only hear Bro. Eli Soriano debate in Filipino. Now, [his debate] is in another language! Amazing! )
The replay of the debate can be viewed here at the official Youtube channel of O Camiho Antigo.

Bro. Eliseo Soriano greets everyone and remarked about the importance of these kinds of gatherings which is a study about the spirit and not only about the things of this life.






"Ang ating katawan ay instrumento ng kaluluwa para makarating tayo sa buhay na walang hanggan." - Bro. Eli


7:40 PM Philippine Time

Si Cristo ay di taga rito sa lupa. Muy claro! - Bro. Eli
John 6:38: Sapagka't bumaba akong mula sa langit, hindi upang gawin ko ang aking sariling kalooban, kundi ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin.
John 1:14: At nagkatawang-tao ang Verbo, at tumahan sa gitna natin (at nakita namin ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian, kaluwalhatian gaya ng sa bugtong ng Ama), na puspos ng biyaya at katotohanan.



8:13 PM Philippine Time

Next to ask is from Pangasinan. The question is about the real way of accepting Christ.

Colossians 2:6-7: As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Ang pagtanggap kay Cristo ay pagtanggap sa Kanyang turo. - Bro. Eli







 8:33 PM Philippine Time

Love is in the air! Bro. Eli is now discussing about love particularly Eros, Philia, and Agape. 
Read some tweets from people monitoring the event:














 8:57 PM Philippine Time

Bro. Eli pointed out the importance of listening to the words of God.

II Peter 2:21: For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.



"Ang mabuting gawa ay di magbubunga ng masama"

Kahit ginantihan ka ng masama ng ginawan mo ng mabuti, ok lang yun dahil ganti ng Dios ang hinihintay nating bunga.




Luke 6:35: But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Revelation of John 22:12: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.


 9:00 PM Philippine Time


"Basta tao, mahal ng Dios. Gusto Nya, lahat ng tao [ay] maligtas." - Bro. Eli



 9:15 PM Philippine Time

Unlike humans, God cannot lie.

Hebrews 6:18: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

 Titus 1:2: In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;







 9:40 PM Philippine Time

Now, Bro. Eli is explaining that early Christians worship God in places like houses of brethren if they couldn't gather in temples.


Acts 1:13: And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 
Acts 1:14: These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

What's prohibited is worshipping in temples which have false gods and idols.

Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exodus 20:4: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exodus 20:5: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;


 9:50 PM Philippine Time

The prohibitions in the time of the Israelites is a thing of the past.


Hebrews 9:10: Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.





  9:59 PM Philippine Time

 Katalagahan ng Dios sa tao na tayo ay mamamatay, Iba-iba lang ng paraan.
Hebrews 9:27: 
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (KJV)
"At kung paanong itinakda sa mga tao ang mamatay na minsan, at pagkatapos nito ay ang paghuhukom; " (Ang Biblia)

Some early Christians experienced recurring sickness like in the case of Timothy.

I Timothy 5:23: Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

   10:10 PM Philippine Time
  
As a final note to the exposition, Bro. Eliseo Soriano invited everyone to attend the Mass Indoctrination of Ang Dating Daan on July 15, 2013, God willing.
