"A real man" or "real men" is an idiom that is subjective interpreation, but often associating the "real man" as a standard of good or attractive qualities.
Idiom a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words

Well, if you mean good by a godly standard, then no. If you mean good by acceptable or reliable, that depends on the person and how they are entertained. This isnt a debate, more so a discussion unless you and other person define what "Good" is and that isnt based on how people feel about it.
I think u missed the point. God is in control. Not government. He uses the evil to glorify his name as well as the good or obedient. In genesis he let joseph be sold to egypt to work good for the world and his family for example.
I will make this as clear as i can through scripture, as scripture is the revealed will and actions of God. God always punishes a nation for its sins, not always the same punishments and not always within a determined amount of years. Genesis 15:14-16 shows predetermined time.
Leviticus 26:14-38 shows the progression of punishments God foreknew and predetermined. Sometimes killing the inhabitants and making the land desolate so the earth can have rest from sin. Revelations 11:18. And also in deuteronomy God gives blessings and cursings. Deuteronomy 28. But yes, its important to know 3 things. 1: God doesnt change. Malachi 3:6 2: God will repay. Romans 12:19. 3: you will reap. Galatians 6:7.
I dont believe in debates, i believe in discussions. The problem here is you disbelieve in God, so how is a debate gonna convience you he is omnipotent? No, his spirit draws us unto him.
Well, there are 3 ways to acknowledge God: creation, the bible and his spirit. you dont have the holy spirit; you deny the bible. you want someone to reason God's omnipotence through creation and reasoning. I hope you know the kalaam!
https://biblehub.com/greek/exousia_1849.htm. https://biblehub.com/text/matthew/28-18.htm. Would you agree that all power is a synonymn of ultimate power?
Define omnipotent for your opponet. Also God. And exegete the power God has, to show wether he is "omnipotent" or not. Because according to scripture God has all power in heaven and in earth.
Also, its very briefly touched on here. Evil people can do good. But an evil person cannot do truth. As truth in the scriptures is a spirit that the world cant accept.
If you view morality through Jesus does then yes, for God destroys those who destroy the earth. And the scriptures say we are worth many sparrows (thats to get the point across to not worry about food, etc because God feeds even the sparrows)
According to scripture, yes. Because being perfect isnt being sinless, a good example is Job, a perfect and upright man. He wasnt sinless. Jesus told us to be perfect as God is perfect, matthew 5:44-48 is very clear. And the scriptures have called men good. Psalm 37:23 acts 11:22-24. And barnabas wasnt sinless. The only sinless man was jesus christ.
Id argue that due to the fact we have no evidence of repeated testing of the original (whatever) that evolution is still a hypothesis at best and untestable based on the original dna at worst.
I recommend you listen to dr james white and his explanation of textual tradition. erasamus only worked with a few greek manuscripts and translated the vulgate to some greek as well. Compared to today where we recognize over 5k greek manuscripts. alot of bibles keep interpolitions because of "tradition" or "familarity" and obviously want their books sold and not exposed for perserving textual variants. many people read kjv and there are Kjv Onlyist movements that say it is the best translation of recieved text. Notice i said "recieved text" not majority or critical text. Textus receptus is also a "recieved text" most of which is based off of erasamus and his limited manuscript supply and besa who i believe comments on his works and adds to it, not knowing that one of the greek manuscripts wasn't an orginal, but i could be wrong about besa.
I wouldn't quote ehrman as he says himself that his writings aren't scholarly.
There are 400000 variants.
arguing the textual variance is not proof worthy of contridiction as according to some translations its is majority text or oldest text. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Bezae
what is the NAME of the father, son and holy spirit? Jesus (YHWH our salvation) christ (anointed one)
the account of judas is the same. one is more lengthy in description of what he did. falling head first is what one does when they pitch forward from a tree. he gave the money to the priests and hanged himself, it became known as the field of blood from 2 points of view. 1, he hanged himself on the tree there and died. 2. his money was used against innocent blood. but notice that the chief priests said it was blood money AFTER he hanged himself. not before.
joseph geneology. (not entirely joseph's) heli most likely gave the linage of mary, not joseph.
There is a difference between personhood and being. They are one in being, purpose and desire. To do the will of the father. They are manifest in different ways to us. There has only and ever been 1 Elohim that is above all elohim, that is YHWH. Yushua has not yet fulfilled the earthly establishment of the kingdom, he has however obviously fulfilled the prophecies of him being in bethlehem and what not. Therefore he did do those things he was told to do and did them.
He indeed is recorded in history, but if you would like to know him personally you just have to seek him and keep seeking him and he will reveal himself to you.
what proof is there to suggest an omnibenevolent being? even the God of the bible is cited as Hating the wicked. psalm 5:5 and david, a man after God's own heart quoted psalm 139:19-22
The basis is calvinism true was an incorrect title for the debate. we actually tried to change it. Basically we tried to argue if predestination is supported by scripture or not.
Jesus is the literal word of God. and his relation is son regarding nature, because how could a spirit have physical children? No, there is a nature that is imparted and jesus is the the son because he was the firstborn of God, His word. Which created all things for himself.
Depends on what you had in mind? Old testament? new testament? communion? Where is hell? where is abraham's bosom? Did the thief go to paradise? Where is paradise? Does jesus literally not know the "Day or hour" of rapture? etc.
Only thing i could do is repeatedly cite scripture and cross examine context of it to prove its self. Scripture debate is about all i know, example is my debate against speed race.
Not the structure of rebuttals but the debate its self. The existence of Of God almost always in circular logic or disproof of science or recognition of logical fallcy/Ignorance debate.
I never heard of pascal's wager either. I have a hard time weighing arguements on God's existence based on Logic assumption and insertions of knowledge we know. without considering the facts we do not know. You have debated me before on this, i think you understand what i mean.
While indeed more concise and easier to vote on, i feel part of the depth involved in 5k+ arguments is lost. I'm not saying its bad to have small debates, but i believe that in knowing each other and seeing the depth of reasoning and research reveals the character of the pro and con. The soul of the debate is constrained.
Sometimes going through the ringer helps the pro to understand his subject better and likewise for the con to go deeper in reason and resource against/for it.
If you feel there are people with multiple accounts report them.
Just because new people come in and have to adjust to voting doesn't mean you should start giving up on debates
Just because your "Debate skills" are challenged, doesn't mean you should curse the website for that reason or the above reasons.
taking a break is a good idea! Debates don't need to be taken personally or cause stress to such a degree. Enjoy your R&R! and come back wiser and stronger.... and humbler, please.

If you want to discuss things i advise making a thread in the forums or make a debate that isnt a debate like i have.
Reason women arent leaders is 2 reasons. 1: they werent made to rule over men. 2: it is discouraged.
Women have always had the desire to rule over someone, just like men. But thats part of their curse according to genesis 3:16
So the meaning you are using for aliens is what?

Also there is no evidence of trump wanting to cut that particular radio stations funding, especially not in the past year.
I know God intimately, he is inside me. He has never lied and is incapable of lying.
Is this a debate or just your opinion of who to listen to?
Well, if you mean good by a godly standard, then no. If you mean good by acceptable or reliable, that depends on the person and how they are entertained. This isnt a debate, more so a discussion unless you and other person define what "Good" is and that isnt based on how people feel about it.

Because he has never lied. Revelation 19:6
Because God cannot lie.
I mean, the bible says God is all mighty, uses same greek word for powerful.
In what way do you want to assert God doesnt exist? Will you disregard scripture? Will you try (again) to counter kalam?
I dont believe in debates, i believe in discussions. The problem here is you disbelieve in God, so how is a debate gonna convience you he is omnipotent? No, his spirit draws us unto him.

Oh, so you wish to define God's power APART from his revealing to mankind.
https://biblehub.com/greek/exousia_1849.htm. https://biblehub.com/text/matthew/28-18.htm. Would you agree that all power is a synonymn of ultimate power?

To be lazy means capable of doing something, but not wanting to do it. Its not a subjective term.
I didnt vote, but np!

Just using that scripture? seems too vague on its own to assert jesus as messiah.
Not to me.
Its all well and good, until you introduce BRACKETS! Oh the humanity!
