Recently Alma Allred and James R. White had a dialogue on the topic "What is Truth?" This should not be seen as a "shot" against Alma (who is a smart fellow, to be sure) but it was a failure. White controlled the entire dialogue and, for a dialogue on truth and epistemology, White never once had to address and defend Sola Scriptura, the formal doctrine of the Protestant Reformation (on this, see my lengthy essay Not by Scripture Alone: A Latter-day Saint Refutation of Sola Scriptura)
After White (and Durbin's) debate with Kwaku El, I challenged White to have a moderated formal debate with a neutral (e.g., Catholic) moderator on Sola Scriptura. Again, I reiterate the challenge:
Opening statements: 30 mins each
Rebuttal: 15 mins each
Cross-ex: 15 mins each
Conclusion: 10 mins each

Debate Thesis: Sola Scriptura, the formal doctrine of Protestantism, which teaches that the 66 books of the Protestant canon of the Bible is the sole infallible rule of faith to which all other standards of faith are to be subordinated, is taught by the Bible
