"Debate is wonderful when the love of God prevails in it. As Paul says in I Timothy 3:16, 'And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness!' When debate degenerates into controversy, the joy of discovery turns to anger. If we are to learn more of God's Word, debate must be encouraged and anger turned to diligent study. Debate seems, among many people, to be a long lost art. Christians cannot afford to let God's Truth remain undiscovered for fear of controversy. We must rediscover the fine art of debate so that we can prove 'what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God' (Rom. 12:2). Science has little problem with "Prove it!" Theology sometimes does."

Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true (Acts 17:11).
