There’s no point in debating with someone who is not only not a Christian but seems to make it their life’s mission to cast doubt and dispersion on the Bible and it’s truthfulness for the sole purpose of destroying another’s faith.

As someone commented, why should anyone take the interpretation of the Bible of a self-proclaimed agnostic seriously?

I've heard this account in Acts held up as one those “GOTCHA!” criticisms so often that it gets old. Add it to “How did Judas die?”, Details of the genealogy of Jesus, etc.

Obviously debating to you means "agreeing with." That's novel. Debates, dear mom, are by definition encounters of opposite minds. We don't have presidential candidate debates because the candidates think alike, but because they disagree.

How do you know that? Why don't you ask such individuals what their "life's mission" is rather than speculate they have one and what its "sole purpose" is?

Maybe you can tell me why should anyone take seriously biblical interpretations by a self-proclaimed believer? Especially, since there are so many variations in interpretations by vairous believers!

I’ll don’t worry that anyone is going to destroy my faith if that is their intent and I’ll debate as long as I see some reason to do so beyond finding a soft spot to poke. And my soft spots are not very tolerant of poking either.

Who knows, there may be a Barnabas under that Apollos hide.
