@PREZ-HILTON
i agree that serious inquiry of God should be approached on a philisophical level. not many inquire about God though, they assert and ad hominen and strawman. they refuse to see nuiance of God's will and word vs how people claiming to represent God do the opposite.
i speak of his desires and commandments. not open a intercourse on his existance or supposed evils.

indeed. he does.
worse yet, the righteous nation is the intercessor that moves him to NOT destroy nations. thats why in the book of jeremiah God smote all the nations when israel sinned and did great evil and practiced idolatry.
israel according to God's word is to be a kingdom of priests and kings. priests offer sacrifice and intercede, kings rule and guide nations and judges matters righteously. or unrighteously.

well, first off we must define what a man is. from lxam's opening post i assume we are talking about character of a man.
The bible gives us examples and priorities of a man.
God told job to be a man and respond to him job 38:3
so part of being a man is being responsible for your words and judgement and answering them.
and other scriptures give us indication that a man of God leads his family to God, he is the priest and example of his family.
etc
another part of being manly is not being swayed by doctrine or emotions to affect your judgement and what God told you to do.

the change i desire and have always desired is more freedom to have ro's against people who harass me. i have quite the hate club because of God's word. but really they just hate God, but they cant troll God, so they troll me.

@DebateArt.com
what is the application of certain voting policies on rated debate vs unrated?
for example, if someone does a rated debate and the opposition sucessfully asserts forgone conclusion (as defined in voting policy) would it be counted as an unrated debate? or would voters just have to write less in their votes?

i regard this as also a form of tagging under coc. if you dont wished to be mentioned in this way, then cease.
your feelings and interpretation no longer apply as i appealed to coc and moderator/website owner interpretation and approval.

i agree to a mutual disregard to/from stephen.

calling God a hypocrite because you dont understand him makes you a fool.

@Deb-8-a-bull
have you ever been in a relationship with a woman? one where you could share your deepest thoughts and fears without shame, knowing you wont be judged?
that is similar to what it means to be a christian. but instead of a flesh and blood man/woman. we give all our heart, soul and strength to God because he loved us when we hated him. he died for us when we wouldnt give him 2¥ or less. wouldnt even spit in his direction.
in dying, he made it where we dont have to die and go to hell. hell is a place of seperation.
think of it like this. if you had a girlfriend and were loved by her and she let you stay on her property because you had no place to go and you lived on her property, but never returned love, money or even talked to her. one day rent comes and she throws you out. because you never accepted her love or paid her.
heaven and earth is God's property. The currency he asks for is obedience. if you refuse his love and dont obey, there is nothing else for you except wrath, outside of heaven and earth. no more love.
tldr. you need to love someone and be loved by someone and it not depend on your talents, but who you are as a person. then you might understand God.

you either have faith in him or you have faith in your assessment of him.
both are shaky grounds, especially if you consider him an enemy.
watch people over the years, you get a sense of what they value.

yeah. don't.
aside from that, he is opening himself up to... less aggressive spirits who will guide him into deceit, but also power and personal, fading peace.

its not about the debate, its about who votes on your debate. ive seen brilliant and nearly flawless rounds and yet the other person wins because they saw it in a diff perspective.
thats why you go the judge route, choose people who wont vote bomb or hate vote you, but actually understand your perspective.

1 timothy 6:9-10
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

the Love of money is the root of all evil. not being rich. otherwise God would be a hypocrite in verses 17-19

@TWS1405_2
forgive me for being presumptuous, but it seems like he is willing to debate:
Racism is not a driving factor in (in)equality in the United States
he wants to take it as the contender.
the other topics he seems to broadly categorize and interconnect under social injustice/inequality/psychology. perhaps offer him 2 topics that dont fall under this. perhaps philosophy or religion, etc.
im not speaking for him, just attempting to convey what I THINK he says.

@YouFound_Lxam
yes. if they are debating to prove Christ to those that blasheme God.
we have an example of when to debate and when not to.
knowing to do good (not debate blashemers about christ) and doing it not, is sin.
again, you are aware of it now, and must answer to christ if you sin.

both sayings have merit.
quitting while you are ahead (winning or advancing) is sometimes good because being overzealous clouds judgement. but opportunity is limited and there are rare times to press on because of the victory/benefits
quitting while you are behind (losing or not advancing) is sometimes good as well, because you might be limited in resources, strength or time. but there are times to press on even if you are behind
if its a question of which saying originated first. then id argue quit while you are ahead.

why do you only read 1/4th what i post and ignore the rest? do you want to misquote me to make yourself right? scripture is against debating people who blasheme God.
you have no defense against it and now that you know it, you sin everytime you disobey.

i agree we should reach out to them, love them and care about them. but not debate them.
scripture tells in romans 1 that they are in rebellion against God.
we have a scriptural example of when to debate. acts 18:6 is when paul shutdown the debating.
anytime someone blashemes God, just shut it down and pray for them instead, leave them be.

listen, there is no middle ground between the sane and the insane. the stable minded and those in madness.
lgbtqia+ people are in a different frame of mind, they need Jesus because they are literally fighting themselves and denying their creation via pride and rebellion and emotions.
pray for them, dont reason with insane people, they cant see it in a sane way.

i dont care for diversity. humans have more in common than different.
the difference of method and expression comes from experiences, but also stubborness and fear.
culture is not that meaningful, its just an expression of said stubborness and fear.

if you need emotional or logical reason.
we love God because he first loved us.
we must all become a new creature via acts 2:38 to be able to love in the way God does.

the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the holy ghost. the holy ghost is given to those who obey him.
Jesus said. if you love me, keep my commandments. therefore his love isnt dependent on feeling, but obedience.

@Public-Choice
Your eyes are open. the love they showed and preached is not like the love that this world has.
but i wonder, would you be willing to die to show selfless and peacebringing love?
if not die by others, then death of your desires for loves sake.

the title. i have seen quite a few debates about God and how in debate they approach his existence logically.
one that i enjoyed and found easy to read and understand was between bsh1 and david(virtuoso)
its not perhaps the finest, there are times where a question is begged, but i still enjoy reading it, the broad stroke of arguements and logic combined with the challenge of kritiks never gets old.
what debates do you like and why? feel free to link!

@AleutianTexan
Freedom" is a meaningless concept. If something is bad, we should have structural systems in place to disincentivize that action, especially when bad debates lead to people wanting to not engage on the site and makes the education and recreation of this space worse.
this is a very bad arguement.
infact, you should turn it into a debate, it would be fun to see how quick it can be demolished.
i would argue however, that its not bad debates that make a website less engagable, but bad voting, trolling, racism, sarcasm and lack of general communication skills that ruin it (see some of ddo's debates.)
also, rap battles.
