Dan, Patrick and Hunger Truth,
I am writing you to inform you that I have discussed the matter of the Evangelical Debate Societies continued debate with Patrick Navas, Dan Mages, Steve Scianni and Hunger Truth and have decided that my debate with Steve Scianni on July 16th will be our last act of public debate and dialog with your organization and I would like to ask Patrick Navas to remove my various e-mail addresses from his server list.
I personally have not been pleased by many of the actions and tactics Mr. Navas has used on line to continue our debate and I concur with Pastor Gene Cook's assessment of Mr. Navas' spiritual condition before God and feel that it is now unscriptural for us to continue our debate with Mr. Navas and Hunger Truth. I am mindful of the Scripture which says,
"Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him"
Titus 3:10
After a lot of reflection and discussion with my ministry associates at the Evangelical Debate Society, we believe Patrick Navas quintessentially fulfills the characteristics of the factious person Paul warns the true Church against further contact with and have decided as a group to discontinue our public debate with him and his affiliate organization Hunger Truth.
We feel that after six public debates we have adequately attempted to engage in serious intellectual debate and dialog with Dan, Patrick, Steve and Hunger Truth over the last two years and do not see the profit in rehashing the same arguments over and over again to no avail. It seems that we are going nowhere in our debates and it is time for us as a ministry to move on to other issues and debates on our horizon. It is our express desire that Patrick, Dan and Steve return back to the Evangelical Faith they have abandoned and wish you God's Sovereign mercy in the hope that God's goodness leads you to repentance before the impending judgment of God.
Again, I will honor my word and be there at Hunger Truth for my debate on the existence of God with Steve Scianni as God wills on July 16th but that will be our last public debate with any of the members of Hunger Truth.
Sincerely in Jesus Christ,
Lee Edward "Ed" Enochs
