Before we proceed with any theological exchange, I am setting forth one non-negotiable precondition: you must identify yourself truthfully and completely.
I, Ronald V. Obidos II, engage in every discussion under my real name and with my real face. I do not hide behind anonymity. I stand fully accountable for every claim I make, every argument I present, and every position I defend. This is not a minor courtesy; it is a matter of integrity, credibility, and basic intellectual honesty.
If you are unwilling to reciprocate that same transparency, then your arguments, however elaborate, carry zero credibility from the outset. The truth does not need a mask. Anyone who conceals their true identity while claiming to defend the truth has already undermined their own case before a single word of theology is exchanged.
Let me be direct: I will not respond to anyone operating under a fake name, a fake profile photo, or a fabricated online persona. Not because I fear your arguments, but because engaging anonymous individuals is a waste of both our time. Anonymity is the refuge of those who are unwilling to be held accountable, and a person unwilling to be accountable for their identity gives me no reason to trust their accountability for truth.
The precondition is simple:
Engage me using your genuine, authenticated Facebook profile your real name and your real profile photo before presenting any defense of Seventh-day Adventist doctrine. A Facebook account with a fabricated name, a stock image, an avatar, or a profile that cannot be reasonably verified as belonging to a real, identifiable person will be disqualified immediately. Once you have met this standard, I will gladly engage you with the full rigor and respect the discussion deserves.Until then, I will wait. And if that precondition is unacceptable to you, then I respectfully ask that you not waste my time or yours.
This is not an unreasonable demand. It is the same standard I hold myself to every single day. If you genuinely believe your doctrines are true, you should have no difficulty standing behind them with your real name and your real face.
Until then, I will wait. And if this precondition is unacceptable to you, then I respectfully ask that you not waste my time or yours. The coward debates in the shadows. The truth-seeker stands in the light.
The truth has nothing to hide, and neither do I.
