Id argue the concept of sola anything is heresy, all of it works together.

but the grace of God enables the hope of salvation. "Saved by grace through faith" "how can they believe except they hear? How can they hear without a preacher" "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"

So the word of God is powerless unless it is believed.

And grace is made void if there is no faith.


Mind you this is all in connection to salvation.

God is holy, gracious and the word regardless if believed or heard.

America wasnt built on ideological equality, read the constitution, it says all men are created equal.

So equality is not in ideology, but in creation.


Meaning i have as much right and liberty as any other person. That race, gender and color should not be a factor in what my value is.

Satan has no authority to destroy the world. Satan has authority over sin and lies.


The earth was made in truth by the Word and Spirit of God.


The only thing he can destroy is what is not like God, and even then, he is not a judge and cannot judge humanity to destroy them, but can only make them worthy of destruction and perdition as they obey him.

Every kingdom has a currency, a form of wealth that they generate and value to trade with others to gain their wealth.


All you have to do to overcome any kingdom is stop their ability to generate currency, then make them dependent on yours, or destroy them and take what they have.

Controversial in that yall are playing on a child predator platform at the same time? (Or whoever, see schlep)


Palestinians are not a people, they dont even have their own culture. They are groups of people such as egyptians, saudi arabians, syrians, and others who were sent to the land of israel roughly after the balfour declaration.

I recommend looking at amir tsarfati on telegram and mosab hassan yousef

Amir is former mossad agent. Mosab is son of hamas leader that worked for israel.

This is how ai summarized your intial post:


"Claiming Christianity is "based on faith" shows a shallow view.Big "F" Faith: This is the shared, unified beliefs held by Christians as a community. It's key for group behavior and practice, but not the core foundation. What "based on" means: If it refers to origins or evidence, Christianity has more than just faith. Evidence for Christianity:Faith itself proves it exists as a real, influential concept—seen in its global societal impact over millennia. Other supports: Scientific observations of the universe, the Bible, historical records, and philosophical ideas like morality, order, and love that point to God and the Bible's credibility. The real debate: Are these evidences reliable and interpreted correctly to back Christianity? "


Assuming its correct, it sounds like you are saying faith isnt alone. Non sola fide. I agree with this. We have truth, love, the word of God, the riches of God through his glory.


If we have obeyed God by faith and done the works of faith that save us (acts 2:38) we also have power and ability and sonship through the Holy Spirit

I like chlupas. Hooray for soup!


The blue of sapphire represents heaven, the paved work of sapphire mentioned in ezekiel 1 and the image of the glory of God in ezekiel 10.

The glory of God has the apperance as a man, that man is Jesus Christ, the lamb slain before the foundation of the world.

Heck even the wisest man in the world says things happen by chance.


Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.


If you say hard work increases your chances, then the arguement and concept of chance is pointless. Everything has a season, including riches and poverty.


Chance


Edit: there are other promises in scripture about wealth and how to obtain riches however. Most of them deal with being diligent, considering the poor, lending, helping others, being prudent, not being a sluggard etc.


There are also false riches or evil ways to gain money, but it becomes a snare, or the righteous and poor take it after you die.

Some of the standards of how a debate should be done is getting weird, there should be a guideline on what makes the debate to win or lose.


Should the title account for it? Or should the description be unchallengable? Does arguementation have to include certain patterns of wording? What logical fallacies should end a debate?


I ask this because apparently there is people who believe that every syllogism must be agreed with, or that descriptions are somehow not the guideline of the debate and determine the burden of proof?

Why do we get a voting rubric but not a debate rubric?


I recommend if one is established that it is pinned under debatecraft forum.


I am not saying we need to make an ironclad can or cant to qualify/win a debate, i am advocating a guideline that people can refer to on structuring the debate. Topic creation quiz is not enough, as people forget it.


I also ask/recommend the voting rubric and topic rubric be pinned in debatecraft forum to refer to.
