Back when I used to be a Christian, I used to engage in biblical debates with Christians and non-believers alike. I'm curious as to how I'd debate now.
Pick a biblical topic to debate with me on, and I'll honestly defend it as if I were a Christian. NOTE: I'm not going to be sarcastic either, giving "dumb" answers as a Christian to make a point. I'm genuinely going to defend the bible as if I were a genuine Christian.
Hit me with your best shot.

I learned the standard arguments for the existence of a personal deity, and my priest-teacher taught how far apart a boy and girl should dance (three inches, but from what? a classmate boldly asked.)

Originally posted by roigamThe Holy Spirit that lives in me. When I accepted Christ, it was a personal confirmation that God truly was with me. God sends his Spirit to reside on those who repent; I absolutely can't deny his spirit is with me. This is why I can be confident that Christ is God.
That's wonderful.
What is it about Jesus that makes you think he is not just a god but The God?
Originally posted by vivifyYou have latched on to the word "denomination" again. Perhaps you could describe briefly what kind of Christian you are posing as for the purposes of this thread or is the idea you have here for people to play twenty questions with you to figure out whether you believe in eternal torture, whether you believe "salvation" is through "faith and faith alone", whether anyone and everyone who lives in accordance with Jesus' commands (regardless of their beliefs) can be "judged" and "saved", do you believe all non-Christians are "satanic" or part of "The Devil's rebellion" etc. etc.
I told you. I went to a non-denomination church. That's not something I made up..
If you have been taking in the discussions between Christians here at all, you will be well aware that there are a range of different kinds of Christian beliefs. Don't use the fact that I used the word "denomination" earlier on the thread to avoid stating simply and briefly what kind of Christian you are posing as so that the discussion can begin and does not start with a guessing game..
