No, so you can be the first!
If you wish to argue effectively against theism - and Christianity, in particular - then you must know our arguments and our scriptures better than we know them ourselves.
But I have no desire to argue against xtianity or any of the multitude forms of god belief.
Even if I had such a desire, there is no way on earth it would be worth wasting my precious days studying the verses of the bible. That thing is not a page turner and if I wanted the history of that time I could do better.

As if. No such sites get my time and, unlike yourself, when I want to discuss something I certainly wouldn't pass off other peoples ideas as my own. I wonder where you even get such an idea. (Oh yeah, you're an apologist.)

Make sense?
Not at all. You assume I would want to argue about what the verses mean. Who to hell cares? Makes no difference to me.
