Pro argues the idea of the trinity is not in line with the Christian Bible, while con argues it is in line. BOP on both sides equally.

The point of being a Christian is not to be a good person. Furthermore, Christians will still do terrible things to other humans. Until the day they die. What other Christians say or do has no bearing on the truth of the message Jesus preached that's found in the eye witness accounts and letters to local churches to help them, which are the New Testament that was binded together many years later.

I've been working through Richard Dawkin's work. I seek to open a discussion around something I've come across. I in no way am asserting because you agree with the implications of the quote or any or all of Dawkins work. Simply, this idea. I can't go chat with Dawkin's to explore this idea, but I don't need to. There are many intelligent people who would share this view and if one of them wants to talk through it, awesome. If not, apologies for the wasted screen space, I won't repost.

I kind of hope this never gets accepted. But, I haven't met a person (believer or non believer) who hasn't bumped up against this Christian. Usually many times over.

I was in discussion about the Westboro Baptist "church" and their practice of waving signs that say things like "God hates f**s". My premise is simple. God hates no person or group of people. The con, I would think, would then be taking the stance that there is a specific person or group of people who God does in fact hate.

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.
