The two types of Christians are:
1 Client-Christians 2 Non-Client-Christians A Client-Christian is more than a defeated Christian. A Client-Christian is guilty of aiding and abetting. A Non-Client-Christian refuses to submit to the will of the enemy. All other modern day descriptions of Christians is camouflage.
The Bible clearly states there is 1 kind of Christian and that is a follower of Christ |

Truth_seeker,
Are you familiar with the study on non-belief that the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga did? Part of the study was to figure out how many different types of atheistics (is this a word?) there are. Here is the list that the University came up with- 1 Intellectual Atheist/Agnostic (IAA) 2 Activist (AAA) 3 Seeker-Agnostic (SA) 4 Anti-Theist 5 Non-Theist 6 Ritual Atheist/Agnostic (RAA) Question: How does this list of Atheists relate to the types of Christians? There are only two types of Atheists- 1 Client-Atheists 2 Non-Client-Atheists The Client-Atheists don't believe in Christianity. But the Client-Atheists are controlled by the Christians. On the other hand- The Non-Client-Atheists refuse to be controlled by the Christians.
We weren't discussing the kinds of Atheists, we were discussing the kinds of Christians right? |

Ok Truth_seeker. Here you go. Your first one liner is false because the Church of Thyatira was following a false prophetess. A false prophetess cannot be Christ because
1 Christ had to be a male to fulfill the OT prophecies concerning the Messiah being a King. 2 Christ as the Lamb of God had to be without spot or blemish. Here is what Christ said about Thyatira: "Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead." Revelation 20-23a NIV) Concerning your seconded one liner- Humans are complicated. For instance, I have only been at this here website for a week or two and have come across several posters who claim to have been Christians for years and then after some sort of problem became non-believers, (agnostic, atheistic, etc). So we can easily tie your two one liners together and come up with- (1) Christians are one dimensional. (2) They are incapable of changing their minds or making mistakes. (3) They are mindless robots who follow Christ like zombies. (Sorry about the third one liner at this point but you got one more coming and I wanted to for sure address your last one.) Thanks for the debate.
My opponent failed to fulfill his burden of proof from the Bible. Vote for me |

Reasons for voting decision: Pro's argument regarding the Church of Thyatira is certainly convincing. Con did not make any arguments. Equal spelling, equal grammar, equal in use of reliable sources.

Reasons for voting decision: Pro never explained client/non-client Christians, so it is impossible to tell if a dichotomy exists. Hence, Pro fails BOP.

Reasons for voting decision: Pro completely fails to support his resolution. His sources were counter productive and stated 5 types of atheists. Which implies their should be more than one time of Christian (if that is what he argues)?
Pro made no connection to what he states in Round 1.
Con literally just had to sit there. Pro disproved himself (5 types of atheists) and "Christians are one dimensional".
Pointless Debate :(

Reasons for voting decision: Pro fulfilled his resolution albeit not enough convincing details. All points except sources go to Pro because Con lack substance and erroneously implied Pro claimed his BoP was "biblical-based". Pro didn't make that claim.
Please give all available votes to Truth_seeker. This debate is one of three. My first is a no postings. This one here is a one liner. And the opponent in my third debate requested that I tie my hands behind my back first.
The Christians who vowed allegiance to the Roman Emperor got to remain in their social status. But the allegiance to the Roman Emperor negated their Christian faith.
That is either good or bad depending on one's affiliation with Rome at the time.
There is nothing personal about this here debate. Take a look at the first century and define Christianity in terms of 'denominations'. Whoops, that can't really happen. In Rome there were Christians in the arena and there were Christians in the catacombs. What is good and what is bad about that only the student of history can decide. Categorizing Christians and Atheists has nothing to do with good it is observation.
