Debates

Debates can be good or bad.  Dissension and bickering are problems, but open, moderated, polite debates where various points are presented, defended, and cross-examined can be helpful.

Acts 17:17, "So he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be present."
