The main reason i update it is cause (for me as an android user, idk about others) im not able to access the rubric once i pass the quiz unless its reset. So i do that incase others have the same problem and need a reference, especially to quickly check over if making a ultrarated debate or voting on one.
The topic rubric is ultrarated only. (See convo in it)
The voting rubric is designed for ultrarated as well, but it can be used for other forms. Voting after all is dependent on the standard that is asserted.
There is no issue if you see fit to use a different method on rated or unrated. But if you are able to use the voting rubric, why wouldnt you? After all the point of votes is to encourage a point of view that is logically sound or better proof.
Supposing God is love, lets asssume the following:
1: God is love
2: God doesn't change
3: God hates certain things, namely sin.
4:God is ultimate good
5: If 1&3 are true then to sin is not loving. Else God is not 2 or 4.
6: If God is sinless and righteous, then to judge makes him 4, assuming he is 2.
If 1-6 are true, then man is sinful and worthy of destruction.
Hope the updates and changes before rubric are noticable enough for anyone wanting to summarize.
Frameworks are a more comprehensive set of conclusions about what each side must prove in a debate, often based on additional arguments about what makes something “good” or “bad".
A common framework is utilitarianism. So one side might argue for utilitarianism and then say, “in order to win, my opponent must show that the total pleasure in society will increase because of this policy.” Even if the other side criticizes this framework, if they fail to provide an alternate framework, voters should default to the only framework provided.
To count as a framework, it should be presented as one or something synonymous (e.g. “goalposts for this debate,” etc.)A preamble, argument summary, or topic headings on their own do not automatically constitute a framework.
Similarly, if one side says something more broad about burdens (“Pro must prove this policy is always good,” but doesn’t say what makes it good), and then Pro comes along and says something more specific about what makes something good (i.e. use a utilitarian calculus), then Pro’s criteria should be treated as a framework and defaulted to as the only one in the debate, while Con’s claim about Pro’s BoP is simply a claim about burdens that will be treated as conceded unless challenged.If multiple frameworks are provided, the debaters then have room to argue which is superior. These arguments can take the form of:
Clarity - arguing the framework is not clear about what burdens need to be met, so it can’t fairly be used to judge
Quality - the most straightforward kind of argument, such as arguing that categorical imperatives are superior to utilitarianism or something along those lines to justify a particular framework
…or other arguments that the debaters feel are relevant
As a general rule, voters should judge based on arguments about the better framework provided by the debaters themselves, rather than their own personal opinions about what a good framework is. (Although if neither side addresses the other’s framework, yet one framework is extremely unclear to the point of being impossible to use, voters can prefer the only usable framework without the debaters pointing out the obvious vagueness.)If no framework is provided, voters should weigh arguments case by case, based on arguments made by the debaters about one point being more important than another, or implied reasons to weigh some arguments over others. (This forces the voter to use some personal judgement how things should be weighed based on what is implied and makes it harder to be objective, so debaters are advised to use frameworks.) Again, voters should try to be as objective as possible here, looking specifically for what is said by debaters as a basis for preferring one impact to another.
What awaits those who refuse to obey God?
Hell, which can be called sheol or hades. It has enlarged its self to recieve the millions and millions after christ, who would not repent after he told them to.
Hell is a physical place, where the souls of men are cast into. It is a place of torments (more than 1) it is a place where the fire doesnt die it is a place of waiting for the final judgement. And then they are cast into the lake of fire
It is referenced as a place of darkness
The lake of fire is a place of no rest, day or night. A place where God's infinite wrath is poured out continually upon all the ungodly and all who reject what God did through Jesus Christ
There is hope however, thats in obeying the scriptures, believing and obeying God.
The name that saves us and brings us into right standing with God is Jesus.
Repent obey, flee from the torment and wrath to come!
Even scripture says to leave certain people alone. Pharisees for example, who value tradition more than God.
There are people who are like swine, that when you give them knowledge or wisdom the trample it and rend you.
The bible advises us that if possible to live peacably with all men, and sometimes ignoring them gives you and them peace.
The precept you are talking about, to mind other people's business, applies to brethern in christ, not everyone.
Galatians 6:1-5
1 peter 3:8
Romans 14:19
No one here is saying anyone is the best debater.
Id say the standards of what makes a great debater is the ability to convince someone to their perspective.
There are only a few people here that do that. The rest simply win because of structure, or the other forfeits, or the comparison of effort and proof.
You should not obey the law without the spirit of the law. God tells people to give in the context of matthew 5. 5:42 is the verse you referred to.
But the issue is to give freely, not begrudgingly.
Why?
2 corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Possessing our possessions by Jeff arnold
19:30-25:25
God deals with every person in certain ways.
No one will be lost by what they do or fail to do, they will be lost because they refuse to repent and obey.
Here is the 5 steps God deals with every person about sin.
1: conviction, you feel bad for what you done, you repent and all is made well.
2:chastisement, which often is sickness or affliction, but not always. Hebrews 12:6-8
3: open rebuke, where God will publically show your sin so others can see, that you might be ashamed and repent.
4:Judgement, when God strips you and takes from you, he allows you to reap the sin in your life, which brings loss, destruction or death
5: reprobation, you will not let him save you, so he gives you the mindset to defile and entertain your lusts. Romans 1:28-32 all that awaits you is wrath of God.
Now the bad news.
If you do not hear his voice, if you have never regarded God, if you think God to be fake, foolish or evil. It is likely you no longer feel or hear any of this.
He does not see you as a son, he sees you as an enemy or as wicked.
When God chastens, he loves, and he speaks.
If he hated you, he could remain silent and let you do what you want.
And the only hope you have is in Jesus and to obey psalms 50:23.
Repent and obey, there is no other way.
I recommend pinning so others can see and interact with this.
"My idea is they also make it where they cant post on YOUR topics in forums."
Any update on that?
@kohai
I recommend more curative examination and punishment on people derailing or spamming a thread in forums.
Also the same for debate comments section.
Lynch and debby, yall need to stop derailing my topic thread. this is about love in the context of God. Not whatever nonsense yall are talking about.

Its nonsense either way. The quran commands them to be violent. Here is an example of someone relying on data, instead of understanding religion.
Difference is shia attack openly, sunnis conquer first then divide through sharia.
Debby didnt deny it.
Its canon now that debby is ai woman.
No need to report someone over a question of cultural impact based on mass murder of said culture. It wasnt an acusation, it was a question.
Wait why is my thread involved?
Also i believe islam to be more violent and therefore worse than atheism.
Multiple persons indicates demon possession. You cannot be the house of devils and serve God.
What you say is contrary to scripture. God spews the lukewarm out of his mouth.
The holy spirit doesnt change a person who refuses to accept him. God rejects the prayer of the hypocrite.
Sometimes people have to see what can be, before they are willing to put effort into something as it is.
Unfortunately alot of women have no personality cause they get attention with their looks. Alot of them only try to develop themselves in either persuit of their goals, or when their beauty diminishes.
Try talking to older women, you might find more of them to be intresting. Women under 30 tend to not be as charismatically developed.
I seriously doubt you will be as equally turned on or worried about your speech disorder around them.
Isnt anu the elderscroll's god? Him and padomay.
Anyways. A person cannot be a disciple of christ if they arent willing to give everything, including their life.
It would be better for a person to disregard God then be luke warm or a hypocrite.
Love is not just a means of expression, it takes many forms, not all of them are an evil, though they can be manifested selfishly.
Agapetos. The selfless love of God is a shelter, it is a banner, a place of safety and strength. Not only a place of vulnerability and truth, but a place where your weaknesses are not dispised, where you dont have to be a hero, but a vessel.
Love that is selfless demands sacrifice and openness, and with it, it grants both parts an opportunity to become greater to each other, to explore and intimately know someone deeper.
Song of solomon 2:1-4
1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Love is a house of strength, a place to share joy and riches together.
Maybe try talking to women then. Figure out why you like them.
Get up, grow up and move on, women arent a big deal
Or focus on more important stuff.
No.
Culture and language are not intertwined. One simply came after the other. Thats all.
To imply i mean anything more than that is a strawman.
Language. Adam named the animals. Culture is irrelevant and vain, its just a way of people doing stuff. Then tower of babel came and with new languages they eventually developed culture again.
It originally began out of pride, then it became part of religion (egypt) then it became part of attempt to honor the righteous among the dead. (Israel) then it became a need to not spread diseases (black plague) then it became pride again (enlightenment era) and now its out of false/suicidal empathy of the left (1900's to now)
I could be wrong about a few details. But in general its because of feelings, and sometimes not spreading diseases
