Mock Debate as an example of the Rules

Pro ~ No, especially in the light of the Verse being a Double Imperative; and since Romans three is Saint Paul's conclusion of how bad our Sinfulness is. Romans 3:12 is a Fundamental in which other Verses must honor...

Biblically Speaking, a thing is established by two or three Witnesses. If you change your question from one to two, the answer certainly is Yes. But since we're talking about the Bible, one Scripture is pretty good to establish a God's honest Truth. One Biblical Truth is never washed away by 99 Biblical Truths. In Argumentation, a Negative never trumps a Positive. For instance, Romans 3:12 by itself positively tells us no one does Good. As a matter of fact, in the Verse it is a Double Imperative; "No not One". Since Romans 3:12 is a Double Imperative, can we count it as two; and establish it? Verses which say we do good, can't rid the world of Romans 3:12...

If you are hoping to eliminate a Doctrine you don't care for, by winning the contest by a majority of Verses; this is the Logical Fallacy of Appealing to the Majority. Sure; if you want to believe the Majority, go ahead. Just don't throw the One out with the bath water; especially since two can establish the one...

If you are hoping to establish the Bible to Atheists; Yes, 99 established Truths trump one speculative truth. The quality of the truth needs to be the upmost, or it's not true at all. You'll need to establish the Bible is True; and no Atheist can ever deny it...
Moderator ~ Pro: the Text is too lengthy, going Off Topic; and you are introducing new Arguments in your response. Three Fouls are called, and Points are deducted. Your Score is -3...

Con ~ Though I disagree with Total Depravity based on many other Verses, I can't disagree that Romans 3:12 supports the notion of Total Depravity. I Concede this Debate, but would like to set up another Debate with you about our Total Ability to believe the Gospel...

Pro ~ Con, your admission that Romans 3:12 can support Total Depravity, is now a Positive which can never be undone by however many Verses you use to make your Case...

I would.

PRO: Salvation can be lost.

[I believe in Eternal Security, but where is the fun in debating that side and what are the chances of finding a competent Arminian debater on THIS board. However, there MIGHT be SOMEBODY willing to take the CON position and defend "P" of TULIP.]

We cannot persevere without God’s help and grace! Jn 15:5 apart from me you can do nothing (nothing that has merit before God)
Thanks

Why are Jesus and Mary excluded from total depravity?
