Pennington is NOT a genuine believer & Story book jebus was an eternal Jew!

I really think he has a tough hill to climb but never the less we should give him a hand for trying. I will offer a full argument here for my case and go over some of Pros case. BOOK VERSION In round one, the first statement I made was the version of the Bible that I wish to debate about. It appears my opponent skipped right over it but that doesn't mean that we can use just any ole' Bible. I chose the King James Bible and that is the one we will use. BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES My opponent has given me the task of showing that I have lived up to the scriptures supplied by him. (1 Thess. 5:21, 2 Tim. 4:5 & 1 Pet. 3:15) Before we actually look and see if I have lived up to them, we should see what they are saying you must do. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 King James Version (KJV) "21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. " This verse and the accompanying verses to it, mean, that all Christian should carefully examine every proposed belief. Christianity does not want people to disregard their reason. Christianity more than any other religion, wants its followers to inquire freely and to understand the reason for your faith. You can compare to another proposed by my opponent in 1 Peter 3:15. 1 Peter 3:15 King James Version (KJV) "15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" This contains a general direction for Christians at all times. In our hearts we are to uplift God as a Holy being. We are to uplift God and preach the scriptures without fear of mockery or persecution. And when we do praise Him and preach, we should do it with gentleness and kindness. 2 Timothy 4:5 King James Version (KJV) "5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. " Be against error and against sin, and faithful in the performance of our duties. Preach the gospel and stay strong in the faith. Because of afflictions do not waver in your faith. APPLIANCE OF VERSES BY CON By just accepting this debate shows that I defend Christianity and my faith. Therefore I do hold fast that which I think as good. I contend that by my overwhelming desire to discuss my faith and God, then I do sanctify Him in my heart. That I am here and ready to answer Pro about my faith and do it with meekness and with fear, fear that I give God's message correctly. I am enduring the insults by Pro towards myself and my faith and still work to prove my faith through ministry. All have sinned as the Bible says and so do I and therefore I do not have to be sinless. I do not need to sell all I have to be a Christian and follow it principles. I do have to give tithe's of 10%. QUESTIONS ANSWERED 1. That Con no longer sins? My opponent has never given us any reason to think that a Christian is no longer sinful. If people were without sin then there would be no need for Jesus Christ. Christians are blameless and are forgiven of theirs sins because they believe. This doesn't conclude that Christians no longer commit sins like anyone else. Romans 3:23 King James Version (KJV) "3 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" 2. That Con has ' sold everything he had and given the proceeds to the poor? First we must look at the whole chapter in Matthew 19. When we look we will see a young man asking Jesus what work should he do and Jesus answered him first by saying, "He should listen to the commandments," then the young told him he does and asked Jesus what else should he do and He said, "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. " No one can be perfect much less someone following all the commandments of God. This passage is simply saying that you should submit to God and those that have wealth or treasure for themselves have a more difficult time submitting to God. This what Jesus is saying here, do not build up treasure for yourselves but for God. Matthew 19 King James Version (KJV) "22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. " Therefore this statement supplied by Pro was Jesus telling the young man that his love for his wealth and treasure was greater then his love for God. This is not requirement by Christians and in fact the requirements for Christians is to give 10% by tithes and therefore leaving Pros contention imploded. Leviticus 27:30 King James Version (KJV) "30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord. " Matthew 23:23 King James Version (KJV) "23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. " 3. IF you & your imaginary friend are what they claim to be & fulfill the promises made in bible Story book land, then I want a paraplegic friend of mine to be immediately cured physically and restored to full physical health. That is between you, your friend and God. Fallacy. Lunacy. 4. A further legal statement also signed by Con (Real Name & details) & also legitimate unbiased/non-religious believing witnesses Or also by those also claiming to be a genuine believer (or such as your soon to be ex-pastor), that your fundamental desire is not for personal divine Story book offered coercive bribes/rewards for e. g. eternal life or immortality; but rather it is a noble willingness on your part to do as Atheists have done on the various Battle-fields throughout history, by them selflessly sacrificing themselves and literally ' laying down their literal physical life; for both believers & non-believers with absolutely NO expectations of divine rewards? (Said documents would make me subject to Legal action should I ever divulge your personal details openly, which I would never do without your written consent & authority! ). My opponent should show that only atheist have layed down their lives for others, selflessly. This is a ridiculous section and obvious phantom argument. I have no idea of Pros honesty or intigritity. Therefore before any documents would get sent to Pro, then Pro should offer his own documents to Con, showing his authority and intigritity. He should also show all legal documents in his name, any arrest, his work record, and any other personnel information deemed relevant. 5. " Do you Con, deny that the Story book biblical jesus was born a Jew? Since Jesus(The Word) was around before Judaism and the Jewish people then no He was not priginally a Jew but on earth he was born in the Jewish community. Jesus Christ started the religion know as Christianity and therefore could not be a member of Judaism making him not a Jew by rights. To be a Jew you must be a part of the religion of Judaism.
