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

Greetings, and welcome. Let us begin in declaration of whom we serve The Lord GOD! Upon reading your words .. let me say that again (YOUR WORDS) my first thoughts are that there is far to much of YOU. As I wish not to make the same error, I will proceed with Gods Words which we can agree are the only words that count ... yes? your words "There are at least four possible benefits from debating atheists:" The word of the Lord. Romans1; 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. These scriptures make clear there is NOT 1 good reason to debate atheists, let alone 4. you cite opinion. God says it's wrong! Your words "Many people have converted to Christianity after watching a Christian vs atheist debate." to ambiguous, be specific or don't use them they mislead and I think you know that! 1 Peter 3:15 Tells us to give an answer or a reason for what we believe to anyone who asks us. the debater isn't ASKING he is challenging. God does not call you to DEFEND anything. God's view is much more simple. 1 Peter 3:15 Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it.Mark 16:15-16 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. NOTICE: preach the gospel to every creature. your debates:You choose the topic! Scriptures used=0 your debates:Is Calvinism Taught in the Bible? Scripture used=0 your debates:Does God Exist? -QUICK DEBATE! Scriptures used=0 Your debates: Liberalism Or Conversativism: The Future! Scriptures used=0 Your Debates: Is Jesus Almighty God according to the Bible? Scriptures used=0 Opinion Arguments: 5 Scripture use=0 your words "Even if we are not told to prove our case directly, that does not mean we should not try." Isaiah 55:8"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. that sound familiar? Remember what happened to those who attempted to cast out demons when not told to? Acts 19; 13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15 One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” 16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. that is precisely what is meant. You do as YOU will, that it goes directly against scripture and that it doesn't bother you is evidence against you already! The fact that the scriptures TELL YOU to preach the gospel to every creature, and you do "not" do this instead preaching your OWN WORDS, so far in every document I have read from your profile, debates and opinions. Acts 18:28 For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah: in the synagogue .... RELIGIOUS leaders, not unbelievers! Key that Jesus WAS the Messiah! unbelievers don't know what Messiah or God was! Acts 28:23-24 from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. KEY= were all believers, not unbelievers ... otherwise would NOT have known of the Law of Moses! Romans 11:1,11,20,25-26 speaks of the Religious Jews, blindness to be completed at the Rapture of the Church. Absolutely no bearing on our topic? please state scriptures that apply! Quit guessing! When challenged by atheists, you are aware they have know idea of scripture, have neither understanding nor desire to understand. their focus has always been to degrade God! The reject God. Atheists straddle no fences they know what they believe! they do not have doubts. The key is in the assault. Unbelievers do not attack God or His servants, only atheists do that! So to debate them is a waste of effort better spent elsewhere! The scriptures are self evident, we speak of the DAMNED not the unbelievers. These are those shown the gospel and rejected it! as defined in Romans 1. as to your decree of what is and is not scripture? you can take that up with God. I think He would be annoyed that you think HIM able to be outmaneuvered by Man! As that demonstrates a weak god, and NOT The God! a Fallible god and NOT an infallible God, an errant god and NOT an inerant God. It also shows you do not believe in the Scriptures Holiness as you have declared the Bible Fallible before the eyes of your brethren! You are not only wrong but accountably wrong! You will never mature in Christ based on your own thoughts! but that is on you. we shall continue to debate the obvious foolish conduct of those who debate the DEAD!
