Concluding Statements: (*Reminder: no new arguments can be presented*)
One Per Team poster to be decided amongst the teams

Any one of the four can post one small comment after both Concluding Statements are posted. (Within a limit of 100 characters)

Post length: is limited to the max the a post allows

Start day will be when ever I post the open argument, I will PM all involved to inform them of the stating. All opening posts are due within 3 days after the first post is posted.

For the rebuttals the first post must be made within 2 days from the time of the last post of the last turn. All posts for each rebuttal turn must be made within 3 days of the last turn.

Concluding statements are due 5 days of the last post of the forth rebuttal turn.

Participants are allowed to quote any source however no links can be used to refer to information. All related information must be included in the post.

Biblical code such as 1 Corinthians 2:3-9 can only be reference form after they have been posted at least once, in any other post on the thread.


Rules:
All biblical/factual quotes must in one of two forms (example is genesis 1:1-2)

Form 1:
Genesis 1:1, KJV:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Or

Form 2:
Genesis 1:1, KJV: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water

This is an example of how to do it oud side the bible:

Cyrus, L .S. Crone, Page 234 : ...the meaning of the word, grace is one of the most highly misunderstood words in the English language...

All excerpts that are out of any context that use ellipsis
i.e. ...Law is not of Faith...
Can be used, but you need to placed a point of reference at the bottom of your post, that includes where each one came from,

example:

At the bottom of your post
Points of Reference

...Law is not of Faith...: Galatians 3:12


A point of reference is also required if you are referring to a saying or concept and do not give a direct quotation or reference.

Thank you,
Now if everyone could post some sort of yes or comment, then we could get started.

God Bless,
DaTsar

I'm with Colossians. I think the word "trap" is a gross caricature of the truth, but the basic concept is true.

For how can man be condemned unless he has rebelled?

And how can man be saved if man has not fallen?

And how can man know the love of God, unless it has been experienced? TTYL Jesus loves you!
