Five point Calvinism is a sound Biblical doctrine and five point Arminianism is not

In this round I won't focus on justifying Arminianism as much as rebutting pro's opening round."No man without the aid of the Holy Spirit can make the right decision and do God's will. Even the Armenians believe this." Armenians do not believe that one cannot be right and just in absence of God's will, only Calvinists do (hence the belief of free will of Armenians)."Every good moral action comes from the Holy Spirit working in the person" This is a completely false assertion backed up by no evidence whatsoever other than the assumption that any and all morality must come from God and that it is 'impossible' for it to not."if you do not have the Holy Spirit working inside you, you do not do good works." The holy spirit was only present in the body of Jesus Christ, we do not have holy spirits but instead have a mere mortal's spirit that, according to Arminians, has the right to choose to be holy or unholy."It says in many cases of scripture that we are "predestined." This may be a False Analogy but aren't the Angels (some now Demons) predestined?" Either God is an imbecile or a sadistic conniver who made people, and his own angel Lucifer, evil and then punished them for acting evil under his own control. This defeats the purpose of having a hell or of even trying to avoid doing sin, if God forces us to do it against our will then why bother avoiding hell? It's already predetermined."Yes, I believe that when God call you to be his child, you can't resist it. God will meet you and mold you." Explain Stalin, an atheist dictator who killed millions, Richard Dawkins, a heavily atheist philosopher, Ricky Gervais, an extremely atheist comedian and Christopher Hitchens, an extremist anti theist seeking to abolish all religion on Earth (until his unfortunate death) applying to this assertion."If a person's eternal salvation is not backed up by a regenerative and permanent change then couldn't someone who made it to Heaven make a mistake and go to hell? Doesn't sound like God to me." If you think about it you are never truly entitled to heaven or hell. Purgatory is the eternal state of a soul and it would only be right for an all--forgiving and all-good God to forgive some people in hell who have truly repented their sins and let them into heaven as well as send people messing up the decorum of heaven to hell."Free will is a myth because no one can freely choose what he/she says or does." Then why do the ten commandments say not to give false testimony and not to Use God's name in vain? If the words used by a person are all predetermined by God it would be idiotic for him to command this and then punish you for doing what he made you do."Whatever happens is in God's plan. No one can escape their destiny." Then why does god destine people to hell unfairly?"Why would God allow "free will" to interfere with his plans?" I don't know but I don't think that Saddam Hussein knows either.
Will Astronauts Ever Get To Travel Out Of The Solar System

Astronauts would not be able to stay on a spacship going out of the solar system i 1-50 years. The pressure of the space would kill them if they stayed in space too long. The pressure would push their bones out of place, breaking their bones. this would keep happening until all of their bones are broken and they would eventually die from loss of air beacause the spaceship could only have so much air.
Michael Jordan

Bryant came into the NBA with a better jump shot than Jordan. He adapted the fade away early in his career, he also worked on his post- game and learned moves Jordan never had in his offense. Bryant has guarded the best players one on one for most of his career and has shut them down. Jordan had Pippen to guard the bigger and faster players. Bryant became a leader and mentor to his team at a much earlier than Jordan. Bryant has played some of the best basketball of his career with injuries, and it is scary to think how much better he would have been had been healthy. Bryan"s ability to adapt and overcome make him a better basketball player.
Michael Jordan

Jordan played in an era full of legends and people who've won multiple rings such as Larry Bird & Magic Johnson. In Jordan's era there were much less rules and the defense was much tougher back then. What was a regular foul back then may be a flagrant foul today. Plus Jordan's era had some of the most skilled big men to ever play from David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon etc. These centers anchored some of the toughest defenses ever.
Education is not what it used to be.

Reverend McDonald please stay on topic. You have not proved that Sierra Leone's education has gotten worse. Those are your brothers! YOUR BROTHERS! They are sons of god! Your selfishness has led you to blindly focus on and analyze the apparent "faults" of American education when millions of illiterate children around the world go without even the security of a home let alone a school system to call their own. Get with it. United States children are lucky to even have a public school system, even if it does have those nasty microwaved school lunches.
Education is not what it used to be.

Definition of Relevance from Merriam Websters dictionary: relation to the matter at hand. As in what is the relevance of your supposed argument? "I will just assume from common sense that we are talking about the Sierra Leone education system." What gives your senses the illusion that I am talking about the Sierra Leone education system? Perhaps if you read more carefully you would have see this, "Why education seams glorious in America these days from this perspective, but is it? ". One may assume from common sense that the heart of my argument lied with the education system in America and not Sierra Leone, but I digress. Lets move on to the meat and potatoes of your alleged argument. Education, the action or process of educating or of being educated, has increased considerably in Sierra Leone since the end of the last civil was in 2001, school enrollment has doubled. From this we get to your "proven point" that double the people are being educated. Could you please explain how is this "point" relevant to my argument and possibly elaborate on your stance?
Education is not what it used to be.

With the rigorous standards imposed by federal and state lawmakers concerning education a casual observer might believe that education is held in high regulars. One might look at the numerous tests a student must take in order to receive their diploma and think that they will exit high school ready to face the problems and challenges of the real world. This same observe would surly be please by the even more rigorous standards and tests imposed on collage students with there abundant work loads, dense text books, and knowledgeable professors and all. Why education seams glorious in America these days from this perspective, but is it? I mean what do all these tests and standards mean? Is a person who attains a diploma truly smart or were they able to just slip on by. Its obvious that not everyone who graduates deserves to but to what degree is education actually relevant to one selected vocation? Diplomas have suffered inflation just like the U.S. dollar and like the dollars inflation no one want to admit it. Jobs that once required an associates degree now require a bachelor's, one that required a bachelor's degree now require a masters and so on. Educational digress are susceptible to the same supply and demand law as any other valuable commodities, specifically the more people obtain degrees the less valuable they become. Since the 1970's the amount of people attending community collages and four-year collages has increased significantly. This increase in the amount of people obtaining diplomas has led to the increase of standards imposed by employers. And what's with the curriculum? The amount of remediation is discussing, obviously something is not working if students must be subjected to the same material and go the same courses over and over again. Why must a student study the same math problems over and over again in high school and collage? Why would they study them in collage if they have no particular relevance to their future vocation? I submit that irrelevant classes only hinder and hurt a student's academic performance by forcing them to split their time between classes more pertinent to their future vocation and classes that are simply irrelevant. Perhaps if course curriculum were more relevant to student's lives and future vocations such levels of remediation would not be necessary.
Abortion should be banned.

Good luck Pro. My position that I am Pro abortion. Now for starters pragmatically you can't stop abortion. Abortion is like you said a termination of a baby. This can be done by falling down a stairs, Using a knife or unforseen circumstances. I am Pro abortion because if that was not the case people would still find a way to abort a baby. Instead of doing a much safer way they will find much less effective of falling down the stairs or using a knife. Pragmatically abortion cannot be stopped and if a person really wanted abortion they can do it. It is really difficult to enforce it without 24/7 survelliance of the mother in question. This is from an earlier debate I had which I would like to copy if you don't mind. I did not find my opponent really good at rebutting my claims so I will copy it here and see what you think. What I said in an earlier debate:Life threateningFirst point is when the mother's life is threatened the mother should be allowed to terminate the fetus. Going by the first link below 7% would be what I consider life threatening ("Physical problem with my health", "Possible problems affecting the health of the fetus") which if you are against abortion (assuming you want to ban it) would allow 7% of women to die or face long lasting health problems. ChoiceSecond reason is you are pretty much saying the choice of the mother is less than the choice of fetus. Still going by the first link you ban abortion which forces single mothers to have children, Force people who are not ready to have children and stop a woman's careers opportunities due to the banning of abortion. This makes up 19% of the women which you are pretty much saying there choice does not matter and a mistake cannot be undone and she will have to live with that. RapeEven though rape rarely occurs. It still does happen. You are forcing the women to carry a child she did not consent to carrying. Going by the first link below the numbers are less then 0. 5 percent. Even though the number is really small it is still a problem. Small one but still a problem. I will leave it at that as my opening arguments and await your response. Source:https://www. Guttmacher. Org/sites/default/files/pdfs/pubs/psrh/full/3711005. Pdf(Table 3)Hopefully we both learn something new.
Abortion should be banned.

Abortion - The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, Most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Banned - Officially or legally prohibited. Just to clarify, To avoid any confusion I am advocating for a COMPLETE ban on abortion regardless of the stage of pregnancy or the circumstances surrounding pregnancy. That includes rape and incest. The only exception I am making is in the case of life-threatening cases, In which case since the mother is at risk, Abortion will be allowed. Being previously a pro-choice advocade now turned pro-life, I am eager to see another's stance on this.

On The Existence of Revenants, OR Why My Opponent Is WrongIn that case, we must ask what is evil. The ultimate in evil here on Earth is Nazis. Now, it's certainly true that if a Nazi said that gravity existed, we wouldn't all start floating. However, the crux of the problem here is that the Nazis weren't wrong about everything, they were wrong about things relating to their evilness. Pro's source wants to get rid of gingers. Because of the huge negative side-effects of eliminating gingers (i. e. eliminating attractive redheads), we must conclude that the source is evil. Since it is evil relating to its ideas about gingers, we have excellent reason not to trust it. Um. Pro did. He called this a troll debate in R3. Relating to Pro's picture: It has no signature. We have no proof MassiveDump is an M. D. And before someone thinks of it, MassiveDump is a single word and thus would be abbreviated M. He spelled 'physically' wrong. For MassiveDump to have written that in 2001, he would have had to be about four. I sincerely doubt that he was an M. D. at that age, therefore he has lied about his credentials, therefore he is evil and not to be trusted. Even If Revenants Did Not Exist, GWL Would Be One I would like to ask a question? At what point did GWL_CPA make any fvcking sense? Ever? And what better expression of his utter stupidity and nonsense than to be something non-existent? Truly, that would be a feather in his cap (if he had a cap; dogs don't have caps). True. But Pro still hasn't accounted for the morphic field and all the other pseudoscientific garbage that Doctor Who features. And while it's true that reality has been reset, the Doctor came back almost immediately. Same episode, in fact. Then my opponent says that just because humans are called a race means they are. To this I would remind MassiveDump that we cannot shape reality with our wishes. Well, not all dogs would jump off the dog suicide bridge. And if dogs have quests, why do they suddenly abandon them to go jump off the dog suicide bridge? In any event, GWL is actually rather smart for a dog. That's 'cause he was human before and is only now an undead dog. Yes. Yes, I did. Pro can't suddenly take things back once he's said them. I didn't concede nothin'. That dog wasn't a revenant dog, that dog was a zombie dog. Zombie dogs are uglier than revenant dogs. Obviously. But we've already decided that GWL is not a wisea$$. Quite the opposite. So he wouldn't know that. Of Course He Does Exactly. So he's got to know what makes Cinnamon Toast Crunch so delicious if he's to poison as many punks as possible. I don't understand how my opponent doesn't understand this. Libel Pro has no proof. I therefore shall be emailing this statement to Kellogg, who shall sue him. The Resolution Has Been Knocked Down, Beaten Up, Dragged Through Dirt, And Told That It Has Been A Very Naughty Resolution.

Yes, Revenants Totally Exist I totally agree that what Pro said in Round Three was the wrong way to go about attacking my contention. Unfortunately for him, this new approach is also a bad method. Pro argues that my logic is not valid. Very well, therefore: Pro’s source is evil, and by illogical extension, valid. My statement is one of pure illogic, and thus is perfectly logical. Why? Humor often relies on illogical concepts Therefore, in a humor debate, it is logical to use illogical arguments. Therefore, the only logical thing is to be illogical. By being logical, Pro is actually degrading his own argument. There is no evidence that CopperCab suffers from WTS. I demand a doctor’s certificate. Also, if Pro would know if he would have a soul, CopperCab would know if he did too. Since he knows he does, gingers can have souls. Uh-Huh Hah. Science fiction is just fantasy, but instead of waving your hands around and teleporting, you have a ‘teleportation device’ which consists of large amounts of technobabble with some buzzwords mixed in. And Doctor Who is more fantasy than most science fiction. For instance, the morphic field[1] and the fundamental entities such as the White Guardian[2]. Meanwhile, Time Lords cause all sorts of antics. Such as a killer Christmas star[3], the Titanic buzzing the Royal Palace[4], the assassination of the President of the United States[5], and the entire Earth being stolen by Daleks[6]. None of these things has happened, therefore Daleks do not exist. Timelords cannot be racist because the human race isn’t actually a race, it is a species. Oh please. There are totally dumb dogs. For instance, there is a bridge that dogs like to commit suicide off of. If they survive, they will climb back up and jump off again[7]. These are dogs that have no psychological problems, too. I wasn’t talking about GWL, I was talking about Snoop Lion, who Pro says was reincarnated as a reggae-singing lion. Standard models of reincarnation have the reincarnated soul lose memories. Dungeons and Dragons does not, if reincarnate is cast upon the body. Apparently my opponent doesn’t understand me, and I’m not sure how to make what I’m saying any clearer. Okay, the fact that you find him more flipping in comparison to Dog From Hell suggests that maybe he’s actually pretty ugly. Source? And regeneration can heal broken wrists, why not eyes[8]? GWL Can Too See Why Well, the important part is the cinnamon. Blind taste tests show it! And as I said, GWL can’t poison existing cereal, since it’s less effective than making his own poisoned cereal. Child Labor Are you implying that the makers of Cinnamon Toast Crunch profit from child labor? http://tardis.wikia.com... http://tardis.wikia.com... http://tardis.wikia.com... http://tardis.wikia.com... http://tardis.wikia.com... http://tardis.wikia.com... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://tardis.wikia.com...

The Existence of RevenantsDisregard what I said in Round Three as is was the wrong way to go about attacking this contention. Rather, I will proceed to rebut what my opponent said in Round Two in a different manner.First, he states the following:"Therefore, Pro’s source is evil and, by logical extention, wrong."Okay, even in a humor debate, I can't call that logic valid.Secondly, He uses CopperCab to explain how gingers do have souls. The main problem with this is, CopperCab suffers from WTS, or White Trash Syndrome. It's a chronic disease that causes symptoms including incoherent rambling that cannot be taken seriously.What I'm trying to say is that he's a fat white kid with some problems he needs to work out, not a source.But, WTS does exist. Just ask my buddy Morgan Freeman: My opponent still has no solid evidence that Revenents exist at all.Nuh-Uh (GWL Would Not Be a Revenant)1. Time Lords are supported by temporal science and other good science things. Dungeons and Dragons is just a game for people with imaginations. Science Fiction always trumps Fantasy. Deal with it. Even heard of the "human race?" Being a speciest is being a racist. Therefore, timelords can be racist.2. There are no dumb dogs, only dumb owners. Unless my opponent concedes that he's a complete idiot and does not deserve to win this debate, his dog has a mission. Therefore, all dogs have missions, not just Revenant dogs.3. Time Lords have their memories intact after regenerating. My opponent has no substantial proof here that GWL would be a revenant if they existed.4. I'm not sure what exactly my opponent is trying to prove here, but my point still stands. The more likely outcome is that he is a Time Dog because Revenants don't exist. Therefore, he can type with his Sonic Chewtoy. 5. Well sh!t, some some ugliness is more subjective that others. But after my opponent posted that, I only find GWL even more flipping adorable."You see these eyes? These are old eyes. And they don't see sh!t." -The Doctor. This quote clearly illustrates why GWL can't get his vision back by simply regenerating.GWL Still Can't See Why"The reason kids like Cinnamon Toast Crunch is because it has cinnamon and sugar."That is so false, it makes me want to puke. The real reaon why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch is specifically because of the cinnamon swirls in every bite. If it JUST had cinnamon and sugar arranged in any way at all, it wouldn't be as delicious. GWL has no reason to know that it's because of the swirls. He can just throw the poison right in there without knowing why. Effectiveness means nothing, poison is poison.No Grown-Up Can See Why "What about the marketers?"THE MARKETERS ARE CHILDREN! Therefore, due to an immense lack of evidence to prove otherwise, GWL-CPA cannot see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.Crave those crazy squares.

Oh Yes They DoRevenants exist because Dungeons and Dragons is true. Again, if gingers have souls, which Pro has just admitted, that means that Pro was de-souled somehow. Pro has given no other explanation, therefore my explanation is conceded to. But I have more evidence of the existence of revenants.Oh Yes He Would Be 1. Oh, so Dungeons and Dragons can't be real, but Time Lords can be? Hah. I submit that someone flying around in a police box with a sonic whatsit is far less likely than Dungeons and Dragons being a cover for a secret Satanic cult influencing our children, sapping at civilization, engaging in unspeakable sex orgies, and sweating profusely while wearing heavy black robes. As far as the Master, he was speciest, not racist. Nope, that's not my dog's mission. He's too damn dumb to have a mission. He's got like Int 1! And how could he be reincarnated with his memories intact unless he had reincarnate[1] cast upon him? More proof that Dungeons and Dragons is absolute truth. I mean, really. Clear evidence. No it was not. My opponent is therefore perverted and I move that all his arguments be dismissed on the grounds of extreme perversion. In any event, the sonic whatsits have psychic links. Unless GWL_CPA is that incoherent inside his head, then he should be more coherant when posting. And which is more likely? That he is incoherent in his mind, or that it made perfect sense in his mind but doesn't upon posting? Subjective my a$$[2]. The doctors were perfectly capable of committing suicide and then regenerating, though. Things Are Pretty Cerealing Indeed Again, he has to make his own cereal. To maximize the ability of his cereal to attract kids, he has to know what kinds of things they like. The reason kids like Cinnamon Toast Crunch is because it has cinnamon and sugar. That's it. By knowing that kids like this, he knows why they like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Therefore, he can poison the cereal of children more effectively. Oh Yeah? What about the marketers? http://www.reddit.com... http://www.memecenter.com...
