Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I won't smash you to bits as Brendan says...I rarely really debate...I just give my input when I think it may be helpful and then leave again. I'm not even ranked as "Church Militant." However, seeing as it's my spring break, I'll entertain a debate, but I don't know everything about your beliefs in particular enough to decide a topic. Fill me in a little...what's your beef with Catholicism? Oh, and I'd personally much rather explain a Catholic teaching and let you explain your side, so that we can establish a common ground first (it is foolish to debate religion starting from what is different...all religious dialogue should be focused on the love of God, and therefore, it is wiser to understand one another first).

Oh, and I have no advantage, at least not one you would acknowledge (to acknowledge that I had the advantage of the fullness of the faith would defeat the purpose of arguing). I can't edit your posts and neither will anyone else, unless you break the rules, which, I assure you, should not affect a debate between a Catholic and an evangelical.

Brother Adam Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Welcome to phatmass. I'm an evangelical Christian as well who happens to be Catholic. You will find that many times the meanings of words will get in the way, so patience is a must. I hope you will find your time among us to be a blessing. Debate is fine, even for the sake of debate, if that is what you desire, I hope though that as we discuss the Scriptures and our faiths, you will also draw closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. +Peace+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, there are many stupid 21 year-olds. Let's put it this way...if Catholicism is correct, the Church founded by Christ, then you would want to belong to it. My "advantage" would serve you by bringing you closer to Christ. If Catholicism is wrong (which I say is incorrect), then my "advantage" will mean nothing, because Christ will prove me wrong in the course of the debate...His truth will overpower my falsity. Either way, the advantage is nullified. The reason is that it's not about the people debating, it's about the subject of the debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paphnutius Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 (edited) 1) Welcome to Phatmass. I hope you enjoy your stay. 2) Age is hardly an advantage. 3) Can I play too?! Edited March 12, 2006 by Paphnutius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firsttorun Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Sure you can debate too... So you are saying a 7 year age difference is no big deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
