In case you have not noticed, you are on an atheist forum. Theists do not debate each other on here (at least I have not witnessed it). This forum is primarily comprised of atheist versus theist debate.
I have noticed; it appears you are simply not paying attention to the details of the discussion. Someone was asking me about discussions I've had outside of this forum, and I explained myself.
As the arguments were with other Christians (mostly), I quoted Scripture pointing out fallacies such as that of the trinity, eternal torture, and the sovereignty of God. Certainly one would use Scripture in such arguments, don't you think?

If you're having a discussing merely about theology it's ok to bring bible verses to support your points, but this is about the perfection of the bible and god's perfection. So, is the bible perfect or imperfect?
I'll reiterate: the discussions I was having were with other Christians, concerning Christianity. Thus I used/quoted the Bible.
I've already stated the Bible is imperfect. That much is obvious to anyone not deliberately putting on blinders. My point was that it is imperfect not because God is imperfect, but because it is His will that the Bible be imperfect.
