Welcome to the Soapbox. :laugh:

Let me lay down the rules and introduce the thread.

Here are da rules;

Guidelines for the discussion!

1) This will be a "polite" discussion. This means that neither party will engage in namecalling, ad-hominem attacks, or resort to any manner of character assassination at any point in time.

2) Time to reply will not be a consideration. However, please be considerate enough to at least try to reply in a timely manner, or otherwise concede the discussion.

3) This is not a "win/lose" discussion. The nature of a debate is to argue your points clearly and to the best of your ability. Nobody is right or wrong. Even though you may use the words "right" and "wrong" in the process of disputing a point, the purpose of debate is to get your point across, and support that point with evidence. It is up to the reader to decide who's argument is more weighty.

4) Books and online articles may be used as source material. However, those articles may be referenced in accordance with the Terms of Service. Links to inappropriate material will be removed. Material that is plagiarized will not be considered at all. At all times participants will cite their source material completely.

5) Wherever possible, please try to avoid leading the course of discussion "off track," or "off topic." In order to have a clear and concise debate it is necessary to stick to the topic until such time as the issues involved have been completely discussed and all points have been exhausted. When such a point in the discussion has been reached then other issues can be brought into the discussion and debated.

RunningGator will be debating Butero.

Butero will take the stance that the KJV is the only correct English version of the Bible.

RunningGator will take the stance that it is not.

Gentelmen, please be mindful of "Da Rules."

Opening statements will soon follow.

Let's pray for God's TRUTH to be revealed through this discussion.

Peace,

Dave

So, do both participants consider the debate closed?

I am. I think we are just going around in circles at this point. I had the first post, so I am ok with RG having had the final post in this thread. The only thing that would change that is if some new point were brought up that I felt needed responding to.
