The Bible holds more virtue than any other book!

I will applaud my opponent for being creative. To start we should establish some things. My opponent chooses a inanimate object without a display of the topic in debate. To choose this as His book of virtue and character gives limited means of knowledge within the specific boundaries. The book He chooses lacks any sign of life or conciousness to make determining judgements of virtue or morality. His book is baseless and spiritless and is quite dull. So to give more claricfication in this debate I will determine what defines our resolution. We should determine what virtue and character is universally: A conformity to a standard of right : morality b: a particular moral excellence. A beneficial quality or power of a thing. Manly strength or courage : valor. A commendable quality or trait : merit. A capacity to act : potency. With this definition we shall see where the negate will take us. We should determine what is character traits of virtue Biblically: VIRTUE . http://www.openbible.info... The Biblical definition of Virtue is, the application of being good from both the conscious will to do what is right from God's revealed Word and from personal responsibility. It encompasses integrity, honesty, compassion, and endearment and this is the quintessence of what biblical Character (that is right standards, strength, courage, modesty, and purity all done in excellence) is to be. We acquire Virtue by our faith, our obedience to Christ, being persistent in Him, and clothing ourselves in Him. This is what results when we truly repent; we will represent the nobility that we have in Christ. . http://www.discipleshiptools.org... Virtue is moral excellence. God is absolute virtue (excellence, 2 Pet. 1:3). Therefore, God sets the standard for virtue. Since God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3), He has given us the standard for moral excellence in His word (2 Tim. 3:16-17). . http://www.corder.org...

Though the debate is young and this stance by my opponent will be revealed in time. Questions: 1. How does one gain any virtue from a matchbook? 2. Does your matchbook have any information on or in it? 3. Wondering, How many matches are left in the book? 4. What is your biggest issue with the Bible? 5. Other than fire, what purpose does a matchbook offer? 6. Where does this idea come from, matchbook theology? 7. What kind of order does your matchbook give? 8. Does your matchbook give any creation/destruction knowledge? 9. Can you just worship anything on a wim? 10. What do you wish to achieve from this debate? *It is hard negate a book of matches! But ole' try I will. I will hold this section short as I am curious to my opponents arguement and rebuttal! Thanks again to my opponent. I trust his next round arguement will be exciting and interesting. In the following round I will make a stronger case for the Bible and rebuttal what claims my opponent provides. Thanks!
