Dear Brethren and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
"I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper
and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3 John 2)
Grace, Mercy, and Peace be with you
From God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Thank you so much for your precious love to me and the work I am doing in
the Lord. I love to tell you in regard to the update of the work here as we
continue in serving God the Father through Christ Jesus the Son.
In regard to the Bible Sharing I have with the Seventh Day Adventist last
March 17, 2015 around 3:00 PM in Libas, Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani
Province with many people attended, I am very glad to tell you that the truth
was presented by God’s help.
Because I have not able to charge my laptop, I have not able to record it. The
Seventh Day Adventist representatives were not consistent in what they signed.
As I show to them the original document in which we both signed, one of the
pastors of them erased his name because he is afraid that his salary of 25, 000
pesos be cut-off and his so-called Pastor License be revoke (Oh, where in the
Bible there is Pastor License?”)
By God's loving help, the Bible Sharing I had with the Seventh Day Adventist
expose the false doctrine of the said group and through the Bible Sharing we
had in which it was done in public with the microphone and many people
attended, they found out that the preaching of the church of Christ is truly
Biblical.
Thanks be to God for using me as an instrument to defend the truth.
The SDA stand “Sabbath Keeping Is Still Exist Even Today" is false. They claim
that it was observed by man from Creation to Heaven is very wrong.
I showed to them that it was God who rested in Gen. 2 and not man, the
Sabbath was given in Mt. Sinai not from Creation as proven in Deut. 5:1-3 and
their doctrine that says it will be observed in Heaven is very false as there is no
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday in Heaven so that there be counting of days as 7
days.
Before we started the Bible Debate, in the morning of that they insulted me
saying “Do you know hermeneutics?” As I respond to them saying
“Hermeneutics is the science of interpretation of the Bible and I have been
studying that since I was 12 years old.” I added “The issue is not either I have
studied that or not but the issue is if you are in the truth then you are not
afraid to meet me here in Public Bible Debate.”

SDA VS. CHURCH OF CHRIST DEBATE (Libas, Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province)
As Paul is set for the defense of the Gospel (Phil. 1:17) so also is my life. As
Paul’s life was crucified with Christ so also is my life.
It is now more than 5 years since I have been preaching in Libas, Kamanga
Maasim Sarangani Province but not all the people have able to listen to me
preach for the people in Libas are brainwashed by the teaching of the Alliance
Church. In fact, the local church in Libas struggle to exist as the adversary
from the outside is strong yet we are very thankful to God still we exist.
In Libas I experienced being thrown of stones/woods, being punched, being
cursed because of my teaching of the doctrine of Christ, yet all these things I
have conquered through Christ Jesus.
Now, people in Libas already seen that we are not preaching false doctrine but
only the real doctrine of Christ. There is really blessing in long suffering.
Sunday, March 22, 2015, we first study the book of Revelation then proceed
to our next Sunday sermon "Why Do Saints Assemble" (Heb. 10:25) a sermon I
copied from Brother Ron Halbrook.
Thank you so much for your continues love to me as your dear brother in the
Lord.
In Christian LOVE,
Men Mark Tumandan
