  • This isn’t debate.

    Allowing utterly unqualified dolts bicker and argue with ad hominem attacks against one another is not “debate.” Debate has an actual structure and form, and moderation is key. Kunz is one of the worst excuses for a moderator I’ve ever listened to.

    He’s extraordinarily biased towards his own religious beliefs and allows some of the most bigoted, uneducated fools come on his show to peddle their insanity and he never stops them or keeps them on track.

    Nadir Ahmed it’s probably one of the worst debaters I’ve seen on this show. He is a double standard, lunatic, who seriously can’t debate😂

    Love it. Less flat earth. More atheist v. Christian please. 🙏

    Update: If A. Wilson is a “Christian”, then no wonder people can’t stand them. A.W. sounds about as wicked as his OT “god”.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Latter Day Saints Christian? | ⁨@MadebyJimbob⁩ Vs Ben
Q: Do you believe the apostles adequately transferred the teachings of Christ to new generations?
Potzsch says the apostles passed on Christ's teachings, but that some doctrines were corrupted and authority was eventually lost in an apostasy.
Eastern Orthodox Vs Protestantism, Which Is the True Church? | Jay Dyer Vs Dr. David Wood
Q: Which church or denomination has the right interpretation of 1 Peter 3:21?
Wood says baptism is described in different ways in Acts and declines to say that one church has the right interpretation while others are wrong.
Eastern Orthodox Vs Protestantism, Which Is the True Church? | Jay Dyer Vs Dr. David Wood
Q: How do you get from sitting with a Bible in a cell to the one true church?
Dyer says people identify the church through study of its history, Scripture, creeds, apostolic succession, and continuity with the early church; a person's lack of access to that information does not determine whether the church is true.
Is Latter Day Saints Christian? | ⁨@MadebyJimbob⁩ Vs Ben
Q: Why would you pick Christ and not, I don't know, Islam?
Potzsch says Christ changed his life and that reading the New Testament every morning led him to recommit to Jesus.
Islamic Dilemma or Christian Dilemma? | GodLogicApologetics Vs Dr. Javad Hashmi
Q: How can Hashmi reconcile Jesus' statement in Mark that he came to give his life as a ransom for many with the Quran's denial that Jesus was killed?
Hashmi does not provide a specific interpretation of the Mark passage, saying he is not a biblical theologian and that his view is not developed enough to give off the cuff.
