Methods of Debate

[meogi]

Secondly, your statement that "it disagrees with the Bible, therefore it is wrong", does make you off-limits for any sort of debate, as Deut said.

Care to debate that?

I do! I do!

Since I believe the Bible to be a closed system, impervious to both higher and lower criticism, I try my best to answer questions from a Biblical standpoint.

The method, sola scriptura, you're using is correct in and of itself from how you're debating. The problem comes from the common grounds upon which debates must stand... you cannot argue one point using two or more different methods. And that's why you're off limits from certain debates (I think Ceri's use of 'any' was a bit off (Don't hate me! )).

Controversial means for a controversial topic only makes things complicated.
