A polite challenge to debate Arnold Murray of Shepherd's Chapel

A Public Challenge to Defend Doctrine Biblically

This is a challenge, a polite challenge, to Mr. Arnold Murray of Shepherd's Chapel. In 1 Peter 3 .15 it says, "...sanctify Christ as Lord in your heart, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.".

I am asking you to do what 1 Peter 3 .15 says. These words are important, especially to anyone who claims to teach the Word of God properly and has been asked to defend his teachings biblically. Therefore, Mr. Murray, I am publicly challenging you here on July 1, 2010 to a public debate on any of the following doctrines, the Trinity, the pre-existence of the souls, the Serpent Seed Doctrine and Annihilationism.

A Neutral, Moderated Public Debate

I would be glad to pay my own way to a neutral location where we can have a public, moderated, videotaped debate that can be displayed later. So, Mr. Murray, I hope you see this and I hope you respond in the affirmative according to the command of Scripture found in 1 Peter 3 .15.
