The following is the email I just sent earlier today to Bradley Campbell of "God Loves Mormons." If you want them to take up the debate challenges, their email is: godlovesmormons@gmail.com
Bradley,
Zach Doumit reached out to you when the Book of Abraham
video dropped. I was one of the two LDS apologists willing to debate/dialogue
the matter. However, it appears you did not respond. As the Book of Abraham has
been receiving a lot of attention due to Capturing Christianity focusing on it,
I thought I would send the following debate proposals to you. As someone who
does ministry to Latter-day Saints, I am sure you would be game for the
following.
Just fwiw, I am more than willing to debate you (and/or
anyone else at GLM) on the following two debate topics:
(1) 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."
(2) The Book of Abraham is an authentic, ancient text and
is God-breathed/inspired Scripture
Structure of both debates to be:
20 mins opening statements each
10 mins rebuttals each
15 mins cross ex each
7 mins concluding statements
I am currently back in Ireland, but am happy to have this
via Zoom with a neutral moderator. I am even willing to allow a Reformed
Baptist, Jeremiah Nortier (personal friends with James White) moderate the
debate (we are on good terms as I helped him prep for a debate on Mariology a
few years ago). Alternatively, atheist Emerson Green I am sure would be talked
into hosting/moderating such debates.
As you and the others at GLM are active in trying to
“save” Latter-day Saints to your (Reformed) Protestantism, I am sure you are
more than willing to do such.
