UPDATE: Good news! The debate is back up thanks to Radical Moderate:
Luckily I had just seen Anthony's debate with Shadid a second/third time before the Church decided to take down the debate from YouTube. Just in the nick of time!
After seeing it again, I would have to declare Anthony the clear winner. Not because Shadid is not a good speaker, on the surface level he certainly seems compelling but after a second look, it's clear that Shadid lost. I was going to make either a video review of this debate or highlights of some the confusions of Shadid but won't be able to anymore until I find a new version of this debate to upload.
Rogers in his beginning statement ASSUMED along with Muslims, that Moses and Jesus were Monotheists, thus all he had to do is establish they were not Unitarian Monotheists. He then established that although Moses and Jesus were Monotheists, they both taught God is more than one person establishing they were not Unitarian Monotheists.
After viewing the debate about 3 times, I think Rogers is the winner, as Shadid Lewis doesn't actually interact with the rebuttal of Rogers (being and person), and simply repeatedly attacks modalism at some stages, divinity of Christ and some distorted version of Trinitarianism at others. And Rogers arguments went answered.
Also the debate title is not "Is the Trinity polytheism ACCORDING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT". Shadid spent to much time on that.
