Please read the full description. That title is full of potential misunderstandings of my intention. This is a bit different of a format that I'd like to try.

Let's start by coming to an agreed upon definition of religion. I'm focusing here on the more practical, everyday usage. I acknowledge some worldviews would be very unappplicable here. Perhaps I'm just being too pedantic. I'll just start with this: Religion is a system of beliefs and/or a code of moral conduct that passes judgment on a person or person(s) based on their adherence and obedience to certain rules, laws, and traditions; or the performance of required acts and rituals.

I find most debates im arguing against a false version of Christianity. This is probably more geared towards non-belivers, but it's not required.

I would argue Biblical faith is not belief without evidence, But instead, Trust without reservation. Furthermore, We shouldn't chastise our fellow believers for having doubts or questioning God. Just to be clear, I'm hoping for a debate between two people assuming the truth of what's found in the Christian Bible. Not one which spirals off to a debate of God's existence.

I take the stance that for either worldview, It's foundation is formed in a unprovable, "faith" based assumption (axiom). Open to arguments from non believere who think theirs is proven or Christians thinking you can prove the existence of God.

All reasonable men endowed with the blessing of faith are in no contradiction one to the other. All faithful men endowed with the light of reason are indeed at harmony in and among themselves. For there exist no tension or opposition between faith and reason. Indeed, the Christian religion is most reasonable and becoming of the intellect.

I will argue that religion is valid from God's perspective. So, anyone who is a theist but not a subscriber to religions can accept the open challenge.

Proposed: Jesus was tempted by Satan but three times, yet there are so many sins. There are three sins into which all others are encompassed.

Some people seem to believe the Bible is perfectly non-contradictory, and this baffles me. Hopefully, my opponent can help me understand how a person who has studied the Bible can believe it at no point contradicts itself.

Here you and i can talk about scripture, it can be about anything in it. However we only discuss under the rule that we believe the bible to be true and that God exists.

Is the trinity pagan? If it is (Which it isn't), then you need to provide evidence for that claim. Rules of the debate: 1. Don't uses logical fallacy. 2. Stay on topic. 3. Give your opponent evidence. 4. Don't mock or call someone names. 5. Don't declare victory.
