Appeal: evidence
From FULL SAVAGE DEBATE: Jay Dyer Vs Indiana Brunner: Protestant Bible Wrong???.
- #5705:48upheld Jay Dyer epainos: evidence (+2)
The council upheld the call: Jay Dyer earned 2 points.
“Peter talks about the holy mountain where the Lord was transfigured that lets us know that places can still be sanctified. There was the pool where people would go in in the gospel of John to be healed…”
Diogenes: He backs the claim that matter and place can be sanctified with specific, checkable New Testament texts rather than bare assertion.- Aristotle uphold: On the record: S0 opened by claiming relics/places can be genuinely sanctified via New Testament precedent, and this line is a direct continuation of that opening claim, citing specific checkable texts (2 Peter on the holy mountain, John 5's healing pool) rather than bare assertion. This is a clean instance of citing specific, checkable scriptural evidence for a claim rather than merely asserting it, consistent with S0's stated method throughout.
- Socrates uphold: Read blind, found "evidence". Rather than merely asserting that places can be sanctified, Dyer points to specific, checkable scriptural references — Peter's mention of the "holy mountain" of the Transfiguration (2 Peter 1:18) and the healing pool described in John's gospel (John 5) — to support his claim. This grounds his thesis in citable text rather than bare assertion, which is a merit under his own stated method of reading scripture alongside tradition.
- Plato uphold: On the record: S0 opened by declaring that places and objects can be genuinely sanctified via NT precedent, and here he cites specific, checkable texts (2 Peter's "holy mountain," John 5's pool of Bethesda) in direct support of that same opening claim. This is a textbook instance of citing checkable scriptural evidence for a claim rather than merely asserting it, consistent with his stated method of appealing to NT precedent; it fits "evidence" well.
