MadebyJimBob vs Dr. Ron Garret; Debate Afterthoughts

[VladtheDestroyer]

I was somewhat disappointed that JimBob off the bat, defines God as "a transcendent mind". Is he a Christian or isn't he? What kind of game is this?

I would say JimBob definitely presents some worthwhile content and arguments on his YouTube channel. But I think his debate tactics are garbage and I think more Christians should speak up about this actually. We shouldn't be doing these high profile debates if we don't even care enough about the person we are engaging with to even try to listen to what he has to say.

Are we trying to bring people to the Lord or are we only trying to gain social media "clout"? I think somebody should say something to him. Nobody is perfect but this isn't the first time.

His opening was mostly about the Transcendental Argument for God, which is q very strong position to start with.

@VladtheDestroyer I wonder what your thoughts are on this debate...

Personally, I think Chris (whom I'm personally acquainted with) won the debate against Matt Slick. (Though, I might be biased, haha.)

As of about an hour in, I will say, MadeByJimBob does seem to lose his temper a couple of times in the debate. It's not a good look for him, even if his position is structurally sound.

 

[JudgeRightly]

Lol, hour and four in, and Dr. Garret just completely concedes the debate topic!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

MadeByJimBob does have a bit of a potty-mouth though...
