Greetings Sapian59! I see that Steve has already referred you to a good resource site. May I add a few tips for you? 1) In the end, debate will not accomplish much. Your best bet is to share the Gospel, especially in the form of your personal testimony, with them and allow the Holy Spirit to draw them. 2) However, God may use the debate to open their eyes. With that in mind, make sure you define your terms right off of the bat. For instance, are we talking about the original autographs or copies of the manuscripts? Certainly, errors have crept into the copies over the years (less so than one would expect under natural circumstances). What is a contradiction? This seems self evident, but many people will try to call something that is not a contradiction, a contradiction. For instance, Person 1 says that A, C, and D happened. Person 2 says that B, C, and D happened. While Person 3 says that A and E happened. These are not contradictory statements, they are complimentary statements. A contradiction only occurs when one says A happened and another says that A did not happen. 3) Above all, pray, pray, and then pray some more! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

sapian59, Humbled,and Moran have given you sound advice, mine is practical advice. Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. If we are told , do not have doubtful disputations, with someone that is weak in the faith,how much the more should we not have the same kinds of conversations with atheists. They do not have the faith at all, and do not intend to. They just want to argue! But if you persist in this endeavor, keep in mind, they say "I have found contradictions," make them prove there point of view, with scripture to back it up. Scripture, is what is being brought into question, then only by Scripture, can those questions be answered. And without any Scripture, their point is lost. Do not leave one point, until the first is resolved. If they cannot resolve, that is the end of the discussion. Remember, someone that calls themselves, Atheist, and claims to have found contradictions, is the spirit of Anti Christ! Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. My Prayer for you is Ephesians 6:10,11 10) Finally, my (brother), be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. In Him Imm (brackets my emphasis) |

I am overjoyed and humble before my brothers in Christ for all the wisdom and assistance with my question thank you all. The debate was on you tube and was public, the lies they were spreading and bullying of other users had to be challenged and i felt driven by God to challenge them as in 2 Timothy 3:16. I have no Bible training only Faith and now i have wise brothers, i feel blessed indeed. Love in Christ Sapian59 |

Greetings Sapian, Considering your recent experience, I thought you might like this quote from the Bible Knowledge Commentary in reference to 1 Corinthians 2:14 "Like a deaf critic of Bach or a blind critic of Raphael is the unregenerate critic of God’s Word."—Bible Knowledge Commentary Steve |
