+= Ten Hard Questions (for Christians)
-In no order. (Note: I've moved on, generally, from the forum I was collecting these questions from. The articles on the rest of the site could be generally phrased as questions; I may return at a later date to phrase some of them as questions, or return at a later date after more discussions with Christians.)
+== Common Topics on #Christan-Debate
+The IRC channel christian debate is not really a debate channel. In any case this is a record of the most common issues found there. It's intended as a reactionary discussion. Please see [[Christian Steamroller]] for a more humorous and proactive article in the same vein. You may also be interested in [[Ten Questions Christians Can't Answer]] which is a more serious attempt than 'steamroller'.
+=== Was #Christian-Debate any good?
+I've finished documenting apologetics from IRC. The forum itself has become passe, and as a result there are less people there and the arena is no longer valid. But for a while it was, to a point, and this is the record of the most interesting topics I could find.

 For an essay written by God detailing everything wrong with the idea of "keeping the law perfectly", see Ezekiel 18.
-== 5. Why was Laban notified on the third day?
-Laban separated himself from Jacob after he told Jacob his wages. Jacob merely took his wages and went to (some place), as commanded by God. It was Laban who had left Jacob and not Jacob who had left (or, tricked) Laban. Jacob had taken "only his wits" (heb. his heart) with him. The reason why Laban thought he had fled is because Laban was in the active act of stealing from Jacob; Jacob was not guilty of, or party to, this theft. So when Jacob left of his own accord, Laban felt that he had been disenfranchised (of the ability to steal). This is a very similar idea to the situation of "When Lot left Abraham, God spoke to Abraham". In this case, Laban had chosen to leave the presence of God as revealed through Jacob. He had made his choice, and judgement was passed against him as a direct result (i.e. in-kind punishment) for his actions.
