I am uncomfortable when you debate the pros and cons of our life together.

One possible topic sentence could be: "Martin Luther sought to engage in debates on issues like indulgences, salvation by faith alone, the authority of the Pope, and translation of the Bible into the vernacular."
Indeed, this is the crux of the entire debate.
From my understanding when you use debate as a verb it acts on the subject that will be debated, not the person who you are engaging in conversation with. For example if someone says "Linda is going to debate Bob" the actually meaning is that Linda's subject matter for her debate is Bob. People mistakenly use a sentence like that to mean Linda is going to debate an issue against her opponent Bob.
The two sides of the debate are the plaintiff and the defendant.
