My favourite lecture when I was at Seminary was Systematic Theology. There were times when I would debate the lecturer on certain things, and other students would debate him, too. The lecturer enjoyed to debate when someone disagreed with him, and never discouraged students not to debate. If you have ever studied Systematic Theology at seminary, or will in the future you most probably have or will experience(d) that as well. This is one subject where debates can begin because of the hot topics that will be addressed.
But the important thing to remember when we do debate with other born again Christians, we need to debate in a Christ-like manner, to treat one and another according to scripture, otherwise it will not be done as a good witness for our Lord. Christians need to discuss or debate the scriptures in Christian love.
We should not be debating other fellow Christians just to get one over them, and insult them, and make them look like a fool, but we should debate them in Christian love, for the truth of God's Word, to edify, and for Christ to receive the glory.
