O say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there, Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream,'Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
~*
When our land is illumined and with liberty's smile, If a foe from within strikes a blow at her glory, Down, down with the traitor that dares to defile the flag of her stars and the page of her story. By the millions unchained, who our birthright have gained, We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained. And the Star Spangled banner in triumph shall wave, while the land of the free is the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a Country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace may the heaven rescued land Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto - "In God is our trust," And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
John 3:16-18 (from your list): "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only 'Son'... Everyone who believes in him won’t be condemned, but anyone who doesn’t believe is already condemned because they haven’t believed in the only 'Son' of God."
Matthew 16:16: Peter says, "You are the Messiah, the 'Son' of the living God." Jesus praises him for saying that.
Mark 1:1: "This is the good news about Jesus Christ, the 'Son' of God."
Luke 1:35: The angel tells Mary that her baby will be called the 'Son' of God.
Jesus himself also accepts this title (like in John 10:36 and Mark 14:61-62).
Did I leave anything out?
Why would I participate in a one-sided discussion? It seems that you are not truly interested in a constructive exchange of ideas. It seems to me that you are seeking a sounding board rather than a mutual conversation. In your space, when an idea does not align with your narrative, the person is silenced, and opportunities for people with similar but not identical beliefs are not respected. I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
@debate_4Truth You are restricting responses to only yes or no questions, effectively creating a binary framework. This approach prevents any elaboration or explanation, resulting in a one-sided dialogue. It appears that you are only receptive to reaffirming your own viewpoints.
