Debate: CFD vs SDA Pastors

Pro Deo et Ecclessia ( For God and Church). The grand debate of Catholic Faith Defender vs. Seventh Day Adventist Pastors was held last January 17, 2010 at Ozamiz City Public Mall. It was witnessed by catholics and non-catholics, who were very eager to know for what is the truth. In the first part of the said debate, the affirmative side was Bro. Wendell P. Talibong CFD National Vice-President for External Affairs who brought the theme, “PAMATUD-AN NGA ANG MANANAP NGA MGA MAHUGAW SA DAANG TUGON, GIHINLUAN NA SA DIOS UG IPAKAON”. SDA pastor Jun dela Peña from Cagayan de Oro City was the negative side. He insisted that men are not allowed to eat pig since it is dirty. But Pastor dela Peña feared and amazed when Bro. Wendell Talibong used their magazine entitled, “ADVENTIST REVIEW” page 9 by Jerry Moon where Ellen G. White, the founder of the SDA and her husband James White ate pig. While the second part of the debate, the theme was “PAMATUD-AN NGA ANG IKA-PITONG ADLAW SA SEMANA NGA MAO ANG SABADO or SATURDAY MAOY ADLAWNG IGPAPAHULAY NGA SUGO SA DIOS.” Whom Bro. Cleb Calimutan, CFD National Vice- President for Internal Affairs brought the affirmative side. SDA Pastor Bro. Michelle Bendillo destined in Dipolog City is the one who invited for a debate with Bro. Cleb Calimutan. But according to SDA Pastor Jun dela Peña that Pastor Bendillo arrived at the venue of the debate and he did not attempt to meet Bro. Calimutan since he refuses to face the said debate. The SDA Pastor Roy Veri from the town of Lopez Jaena was forced to takeover with Pastor Bendillo for a debate. People shouted during the the cross examination of Bro. Cleb Calimutan to Pastor Veri when Bro Calimutan used the book of SDA entitled, “MGA HITABO SA KATAPUSANG PANAHON by Ellen G. White page 161 that says, “IYANG GIPAINOM ANG TANANG KANASURAN SA BINO SA IYANG MAHUGAWNG KAULAG. GIUNSA NIINI PAGHITABO? PINAAGI SA PAGPUGOS SA KATAWHAN SA PAGDAWAT SA MINI NGA SABADO.”
