The Bible Teaches Total Depravity
I saw this topic already, and was dissapointed that I could not take the challenge, as it was already filled. So, I'd like to challenge Renzzy to a match under the same topic. In fairness to him, I have not read his arguments on the other version of this topic, so he can pretty much repost. My points are 1) Scripture gives priority to love and peace. 2) Men twist, corrupt, or badly carry out the Scripture. This is not, however, the fault of the Scripture in any way. 3) Logistica...
The Bible Teaches Total Depravity
I would like the contender of this debate to debate from the standpoint of a Christian if they are not a Christian, assuming the Bible is true. I believe that the Bible teaches total depravity, and that man is therefore totally depraved. I believe that man cannot work his way to perfection. If you believe that the Bible teaches otherwise, please accept, and I look forward to the debate! Thanks, Renzzy...
The Bible Says Homosexuals Live an Acceptable Lifestyle
Given that I tried to accept your previous debate on this subject, and was beaten to it by seconds, I thought I would challenge you to a debate on this topic, being it is one I enjoy debating. Now to the meat of the subject. I believe that the Bible has a lot to say about the behavior of homosexuals, and I also blieve that none of what it has to say is said in a positive manner. The Old, as well as the New Testament has a good deal to say against the behavior of homosexuals, however, in th...
Predestination Unto Salvation
I would like a fellow Christian to accept this debate, but if not, you must assume there is a God, and that the Bible is the true, infallible word of God for this debate. I believe that predestination is taught throughout the Bible, and would like my opponent to state their reasons for believing otherwise. With that, I will await an opponent. Thanks, Renzzy...
what one must believe to be saved is not taught clearly... or at all if in proper terms
i ask christians and they say "believe in jesus". then i point out that the devil does. so they say believe he's your savior. then i point out that some believe that different people see that differently... a good message or atonement etc. a fundamentalist would say a good message is not sufficient. so... you have to believe in atonement is one element. some don't believe he's god... is that okay? a dogamatic would start to list things you must believe. then i point out that that's dogmatic, a...
No Smoking laws. GOOD.
Ohio has enacted a no-smoking law in all public places, including bars, restaurants, VFW posts, American Legion posts. I am in favor of this law. My wife died of lung cancer at age 50 in 2005. Tobacco has killed more soldiers than agent orange, radiation exposure experiments, LSD experiments, and bullets in all the American wars since the Civil War. Tobacco is a regressive tax, hurts the poor and uneducated who smoke more. Smoking drives up the cost of health care. Smoking kills, bed fires, Divo...
Atheism is based on "faith"
From Merriam-Webster: Faith: 1): belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2): belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1): firm belief in something for which there is no proof None of these definitions apply to atheism. Quite the opposite; atheism is the absence of faith. To say "Prove it" when faced with a fantastical claim is not having faith in the claim not being true. It is simply saying, "I am not going to assume this statement is true until it is proven." Atheism is the...
mass murder weopons should be banned by statute
"too bad i didn't have my AK47" people often say prolimits on guns people are just appealing to emotion when someone goes on a rampage and shoots a bunch of people.. and in response are saying we should ban machine guns AK's etc. that we're better off with those types of guns. you want to talk about mushy emotional appeal? who ever hears about people not saving themselves, or better yet actually saving themselves, because they had access to an AK47? i never hear about it. i agree it doesn...
Predestination
I saw that you were previously engaged in a debate on this topic, and it wanted to challenge you to a debate on the same topic, because it is one that interests me greatly. I have always wanted to debate somebody who is learned in the Bible on this subject, and I finally have the chance! YAY! I am going to enjoy this debate, and I am sure that I will learn how to be a better debtor in the future. I believe that the Bible teaches predestination, and that believing in free will is much like believ...
God loves homosexuals, but does not approve of their actions.
Your profile says that you believe in God, that you are homosexual, and that you believe God does not disapprove of homosexuality. You defend this by saying God does not disapprove of love. I believe that you are correct about God not disapproving of love, however I think you are incorrect in thinking that God approves of homosexuality. God clearly states in the Bible that homosexuality is a sin. It is directly addressed in Leviticus and Romans as a immoral act: LEVITICUS 18:22--- " 'Do n...
