-Further the challenges above, we challenge [[Billy Paul Branham]] or [[Joseph Branham]] to a debate.  We also open that challenge to any credible North American message minister.  We would proposed to use pre-agreed upon debating rules such as the Oxford Union rules.  The debate would be held at such place and time and with a moderator that both parties could mutually agree on.  We would also require that, if it was a minister, they have English as their mother tongue.  The debate would be recorded on video and a copy given to each party in the debate.
+Further the challenges above, we challenge [[Billy Paul Branham]] or [[Joseph Branham]] to an open discussion of [[List of Issues with the Message|the questions we have raised on this website]].  We also open that challenge to any credible North American message minister (one with a congregation in excess of 200 people).  We would propose to use pre-agreed upon rules so that the discussion is fair and respectful.   The open discussion would be held at such place and time and with a moderator that both parties could mutually agree on (a neutral location).  We would also require that, if it was a minister, they have English as their mother tongue.  The discussion would be recorded on video and a copy given to each participating party.
