Set aside for a moment, never-ending debating with “I believe . . . You believe.”
That approach usually does not persuade the other side, but strengthens each side in their belief.
Observers of the debate can sometimes benefit in deciding what to believe and/or gaining confidence.

Independent of debate, it is intellectually reasonable to study the Old Testament and the New Testament with one simple question:
Do they fit together?
Study Honestly
Study Objectively
Study Logically
Study Literarily
Study Historically
Study Archeologically
Study Theologically
Study Prophetically
Then decide—to put your faith in the message and God of the whole Bible.
