  2. Shalom, this Jack the one you had a verbal battle with of GodLogic’s channel…! When you are ready to have a structured debate where we are not talking over one another. Also where I get 30 seconds of uninterrupted dialogue and where you get 30 minutes of uninterrupted dialogue. Lets have a formal cordial debate on the Trinity Lie Vs the Truth of the Scripture. “FORMAL DEBATE CHALLENGE, I’LL REFUTE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE HERE!!! All of these scriptures are vastly taken out of context!!!

    1. You are too stupid and demonized to have a formal debate. It’s like debating a mentally challenged dimwit. And instead of barking here like a female dog feel free to skype me whenever you want me to humiliate you and stuff you with your vomit for being a satanic dog and bible butcherer: benny_malik3

      Don’t hide behind formal debates like the fat satanic slob that you are. And don’t make us wait.
