Interesting Debate

[Daniel DeLuca]

Polygamy goes un-refuted in rebuttal. I love Dr. White, but he does utilize an unsupported assertion, referring to polygamy as a perversion, and misquotes Jesus at the end of this video, which is unfortunate, because he demolished his opponent's position, and he could have done so without either utilizing that assertion or misquoting Jesus, but then, that is the monogamy only position that he apparently holds. If this had been a debate on polygamy, the pro-poly argument carried the debate, but it was on homosexuality vs. heterosexuality, and the heterosexuality won handily, which is not a bad thing.

If we don't want to watch the whole thing, what is the time stamp of the polygamy issue so we can forward to it?

Jewish tradition teaches that Joseph did marry Dinah who had also gone to Egypt...

I did a search on Asenath Dinah, and what popped up was that Jewish tradition FWIW, claimed that Asenath was the daughter of Dinah. Her father is named Potiphera, and Scripture states he was the priest of On, so regardless of what Jewish tradition actually says, she was not his sister. I suppose Jewish tradition stems from embarrassment that a matriarch of two of the tribes of Israel, was Egyptian.

The pro homo guy said there were no patterns in marriage in Genesis. It was anything goes. He uses polygamy and incest as proof of that, but never addressed the fact that the pattern was all heterosexual. Duh!
