Jacob said that he is willing to debate you, and he sent me a PM as well so that I can create a thread for you guys. But I didn't hear a clear answer from you on whether or not you want to debate with him, nor exactly which topic you planned to debate on.
This was Jacob's response on the topics you suggested, which you didn't respond to yet:

If you're going to do this, then you have to tell us because you won't be able to start this unless one of the admins gives you access to post in the Debate Area.
The topic has been agreed upon.
The topic will be: : "Are the gospels reliable biographies of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth?"
The format has not. Jacob(smooth) asked that I address my points one at a time. This however will not be feasible utilizing the current debate format. For I have upwards of twenty different points to make and the debate format consists of a total of only four rounds. How shall this be reconciled?
From where I sit, it looks thus. For it to be considered accurate it must be without error. I'm not representing that it isn't true in any particular, merely that it's not true in all.
So if you like, I can offer you say 5 of the reasons I stopped believing the bible was inerrant, (accurate in this case) and you can refute them?
