STOP debating Atheists and Unbelievers! Take Back Your Religion Board!

After reading your response, I just have to laugh at it. If I didn't laugh, I would cry based on its stupidity. Now I understand why atheists mock you; they are correct to do so. That is all you can do when you are debating a crazy person. Please follow your own advice and don't debate atheists; you are making Christianity look bad. Well, I suppose I will get started by listing a few of your repeated misunderstandings. Sola scriptura: This does not mean scripture is our only authority, it means scripture is our only infallible authority. Other things such as reason, logic, intelligence, scholarship are useful authorities. I'm sorry that you seem incapable of using any of them, but they are useful. Scriptural Infallibility: This states that scripture, as it was brought down was perfect. This does not mean scripture is perfectly preserved for us today. While 99% is an accurate representation of the original, we know the other 1% that we have was not in the original. I care what Mark wrote, not what a scribe thought Mark should have written. Sharing the Gospel: I am not required to quote a single piece of scripture in order to share the gospel. As long as I accurately describe Christ's sacrifice for our sins and what men must do to be saved, I have preached the gospel. While I probably would quote scripture, that is not what defines a gospel presentation. "you don't KNOW scripture do you?" I have actually studied every single scripture that you are about to quote. Now I don't know scripture as much as I would like, but I will never become satisfied. Does that displease you, your majesty? "That's what YOU rely on .... you? That's why That's why after 5 debates and 5 opinion discussions you have NEVER used scriptures ... " You know that's an outright lie. Anyone can go to my debates right now and know that it's not true. "Because it makes you false and a liar. See; when you give people what YOU THINK, it's never what God says or thinks! That's exactly Why God said: Isaiah 55:8" I'm not the one who has lied during this debate; that was you. Isaiah 55:8 is about how I am in no position to question God, but I am in a perfect position to question you. While we are on the subject, what is wrong with you? This has nothing to do with debating atheists. "When God says your worshipping IN VAIN ... he's talking about YOU! " I am not trying to supplant the scriptures as another ultimate authority. You are simply wrong in your view of sola scriptura. Also, why are you interpreting this scripture? Interesting... "You can look at my profile? If I'm not quoting scripture I'm just as wrong as you! " I can say something without quoting scripture and still be correct. Watch this: "2 + 2 = 4". Isn't that amazing! Also, while you quote scripture, you misunderstand and misapply it. "He expects all f US to KNOW SCRIPTURE ... that ain't optional!. Here:" And if you knew scripture, you wouldn't be making so many mistakes. "You can't make excuses for that! You don't say ... well it doesn't say not too, like your in kindergarten ... you KNOW to obey God! even the smallest Christian knows that! Why aren't YOU then? " You are the one who made a similar excuse for not debating atheists. You said that because scripture doesn't explicitly telly you to debate atheists that you shouldn't. Your whole case depends on something you just ridiculed and I never did. "It states share the Gospel, you do not! You tell people what YOU think, and that isn't the instruction! Gods word is God breathed, inerrant, and:2 Timothy 3:16" 2 Timothy 3:16 is about the nature of scripture, not what counts as scripture. The end of Mark was not inspired, so it is not scripture. Also, as long as what I think coincides with what God thinks, I am in right standing. While I obviously make some errors, I do not make myself out to be inerrant. "Check it out John 6:45 It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me." Yes, we should absolutely be taught by God. We should also be taught by men as Christ says: Matthew 18:15-17 "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector." Above we are taught to seek the authority of the church. While this church is not an ultimate authority, it is a useful tool of epistemology. "WHO WILL REVEAL IT? ............ God!" You sound dangerously close to trusting your feelings over the word of God. That is how Mormons convert Christians. "So all that nonsense your talking? TRASH, all you! Atheist are under Gods curse for REJECTING and trampling underfoot the Son of God. You can do nothing for them. They must humble themselves before Christ, and they ain't gonna do that by your imagination and ready wit!" Obviously, they are under God's curse; that's exactly why we need to try to get them out! You don't just give up. That's not what Christ teaches. We want to do everything in our power to remove them from that curse by convincing them. Of course that requires reason and logic as 1 Peter 3:15 commands, so maybe you should leave that up to someone else. I do thank you for calling me witty though, that's awfully kind. "God"s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity" Don't need strongs to know that means WRATH AGAINST someone right? Who Sinners! but not just ANY SINNER! Observe please." God's wrath is against all those who do not believe in Christ as their lord and savior. That's exactly why we should debate atheists. Perhaps we can provide an example of the superior case of Christ over that of atheism. Romans 1 clearly teaches that all who have heard but reject Christ suppress the truth. In that time, it would include Jews. Even if I conceded that atheists are the only ones under a curse, so what? We should still try to get them out of such a position, and failing to do so ignores the commandment of God. "*** unike you I prefer using scripture, cuz you can't argue with scripture .... though YOU certainly are giving it the college try eh***" I'm not arguing with scripture, I'm arguing with your interpretation of it. "Does yours surpass the righteousness of the Pharisees? I shown you that you don't know scripture. I've shown you your in direct violation of scripture. " You have not shown that I do not know scripture. How could you possibly read my mind and claim to know what I know? You have not provided a single instance where I go against scripture, although I know I do elsewhere. I don't love God with everything I am, so you are right in saying I am not perfect. That's the point of the gospel. I hope you have heard the gospel before because you should know this by now. "Your comment of what is allowed in scripture and what isn't is in direct violation of this passage. If the prophets were "NOT" allowed to interpret scripture ... how come your doing it? Worse why are you listening to those who also violate this scripture!" When I thought your reply couldn't possibly make less sense, you go ahead and say that. It might enlighten you t know that you have been interpreting scripture the whole debate. Also the passage you cited means that the revelations contained in scripture are not simple man's interpretations. This has nothing to do with us interpreting scripture. In fact, if we were not allowed to do so, we couldn't understand a single thing the Bible says! "is of any private interpretation. Means nobody was allowed to interpret the Word! Hang in there, your getting it?" But you are not apparently. "... nobody cares WHAT you think! " Aw shucks, that hurt my feelings. "Now Atheists are not going to be saved byreason of their rejection! period! " Are you saying that no atheist has ever converted to Christianity? That's quite an assertion without any evidence. It is our job as Christians to try to bring them to a saving relationship with Christ, even if we fail. Conclusion: I provided evidence quite clearly in my opening statement that we are supposed to debate unbelievers. We are to debate anyone who stands opposed to the gospel, otherwise, the church may fall. You sir stand in the way of God and call to deny a certain group of people the gospel simply because they mock your obvious stupidity. If you don't want to debate an atheist, then don't. Please don't. Meanwhile, stay out of the way.
