Head-to-head subforum request

Post #1

Post by otseng »

If you would like to debate in a head-to-head debate, find an opponent and agree on a topic. Then both of you must post here with the topic title you two have agreed on and then send me a PM with the link to your request. You two should also agree beforehand the format of the debate. I'll then give you both membership to the usergroup. You are then free to create the topic and debate.

After the debate is over, PM me and I'll lock the thread and remove you from the usergroup.

Meshak and McCulloch have agreed to debate the question:

Without presuming that the New Testament is true, can Jesus Christ be shown to be the Son of God?

The title of the debate is : Convincing McCulloch

We have yet to agree on a format. Stay tuned.

First of all. I would like to thank McC to agree to do this with me who never have experienced one on one. So I may goof up often but he can always get me back on track. I don't mind being corrected how to do it all. I am glad to be corrected to improve my debating skill.:)

And McC, I ask your patience with my poor English skill too.

McC suggested these and I will follower:

I suggest the following format: You will start by presenting your case. I will respond, attempting to show how your argument does not actually demonstrate what you say that it does. You and I will then follow with two more posts each, alternating. If this format is acceptable to you, then I'll post it and send you a link, so we can get started.

1)You will start by presenting your case.

Here is what the Bible says:

Matthew 16:16-17
New International Version (NIV)
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.�
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.

I would like to convince McC that Jesus is Son of God as He says He is. I don't have any scientific proof but I believe in the Bible and I believe Jesus is Son of God because that's what He says He is. I believe Jesus' word is true because I tested it by actually striving to obey all His teachings without exception. Then my life has chaged completely for the better that I did not expect. This is nothing but miracle. He is a miracle maker and that's what He did to my and my family's lives.:)

The title of the debate is : Convincing McCulloch
  • The affirmative side (that answers yes to the question for debate), begins in a single post outlines his argument.
  • Following that, the negative side, outlines in a single post, his argument.
  • Then each side, in a single post, posts a refutation of the arguments made by the opposing side. The second posting in the debate, may not include any new arguments, but must only address the flaws in the evidence, logic or reasoning of the other side of the debate.
  • Each debater is then allowed one more post, to answer the criticisms leveled at him during the refutation. As in the previous post, no new arguments may be introduced here.
  • The debate is over. A grand total of six posts, plus the OP.
