Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is cereal a soup?". Your opponent's style: Aristotle

You've just shifted the entire debate framework, which is a classic evasion tactic. We're arguing whether cereal is soup, not theology. That's a non-sequitur. Even if we grant your premise, it's irrelevant. Cereal remains definitionally distinct from soup because it relies on a crunchy-to-soft textural progression that collapses once milk saturates it, whereas soup maintains structural integrity throughout consumption. Milk is a beverage additive, not a cooking medium that transforms the base ingredient through heat and chemical breakdown. So, is cereal soup, or are you conceding the point by abandoning the argument entirely?
