Description

Personal interpretations of the bible will not be used in this debate, it will be a debate solely around what the bible says. This means that the Bible will be interpreted from a literal standpoint and not a metaphoric one.

Yes.
It’s how I got Voting Privileges to DavidAZ.

@Sir.Lancelot

Really?

@Rieka

If I challenge you to three separate debates and you accept them immediately, you could have voting privileges in the next 3 hours.

@Sir.Lancelot

Appreciate the feedback!

@DavidAZ

Sadly I’m not able to vote, I’m trying to but my opponents keep forfeiting in debates, which is completely delaying me. I haven’t finished three debates yet.

Can you look this over and vote? It's my second real debate and need feedback.

"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son" (John 3:18)
This encapsulates so much; if only you paid attention to what you quoted. Everyone is condemned "by default" because of sin. All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, everyone's a sinner and the wages of sin is death. Having faith in the unmerited saving grace of Christ and what He did, having the Holy Spirit is what saves from condemnation. This is why unbelievers are not saved from condemnation, they do not take the Saving Pass, the Advocate, they have not Christ. It is an indirect consequence of their unbelief and a direct consequence of their sin (though those two may not be so exclusive).

Your mom cannot reasonably exist in the words of the bible.

Sorry! I've been super busy lately and didn't find time to respond last round. I will work on this now.

Just a reminder that you have 7 hours (at the time of writing this) to post your response.
