... on if Christianity is more about freedom or more about servitude/sacrifice.

If he accepts this and conducts himself well, I will be more open to the other debate.

Idk what he is even saying regarding Christianity and freedom tbph.

He must know he is wrong so he wont risk it rated. He cannot even debate rated yet. This is to gauge how washed up vs still skilled he is at debate and if he can truly condict himself well.

Sure as long as we define freedom before the debate.

Are we considering the apocrypha or authoritative positions from the pope as cannon?

I’m not saying it’s from the pope. I’m saying one of the primary differences in Protestant teachings and catholic doctrine on this topic would be the apocrypha and or authoritative statements made by the pope. They are the 2 main differences in worldview. 

Salvation is the core tenant of Christianity. It’s framed as what does salvation encourage more. Freedom or Servitude. It’s the best framing I can come up with that captures what we both are debating.

I will argue Catholic interpretations are correct. I won't argue solely that. I will add Orthodoxy on top and really Im focused on bible.

That’s fair. Does that resolution work as it should frame whether salvation promotes primarily freedom or servitude?

You seem to be trying to semantically trap me with 'salvation'.

Why is it not about Christianity?

We are literally meant to be slavelike servants to God and emperor.

The only thing is, here the actual emperor was Mike and will be David. Whiteflame appears to be it and functions as it but is not.

If WF owned the site, Id have admitted defeat very long ago.

It’s not trying to catch you with semantics. It’s just be the best framing for it. The essence of Christianity is salvation so it sets it up so does that salvation (once you are saves) speak to freedom or servitude. 

Debate has nothing to do with the site. Not trying to draw a correlation.

Christianity is about all what man can tailor to satisfy what he believes is a religion suitable to him to practice and believe in .

In regards to the God of the biblical scriptures, did mankind establish christianity or did God?

Somebody ought to define "salvation," because that has definitive differences in meaning across Christendom, not to mention freedom and servitude. All should be defined and agreed upon prior the perofress from challenge to debate so you're both on the same page.
otherwise, you'll argue about the differences during the entire debate and lose sight of the relative BoPs. I will vote on the basis of those definitions.

Was assuming typical definitions as there is not to much of a difference in Protestant and catholic theology with this topic. Hopefully it doesn’t revolve into semantics.

Bro he already challenged you. Why didn't you accept? He made a whole thread about it and the terms seemed fair and it seemed to be about a subject you care about
