After an extra round delay, con did offer a decent challenge to the Genesis bit as being Isaac instead of God. Pro does not have the best defense, but he shows that it is written to be displeasing to Isaac, and was worth writing down. Con could have made progress, but no more mention of Isaac or Genesis.
Deuteronomy was worse, commanding murder and specifically not to intermarry. Intuitively, ancient nations regarded each other as different races (much like people today, but the mild differences were the focus instead of easier to spot ones). Con needed to show something to suggest they were the same race, to rule out racial motivations for the genocide.
While other points came up, with those pro had done exactly as was asked in the challenge, so there's not much point in going deeper.
Argument: Con moved the goal post for Pro to change from merely demonstrating a scriptural source advocating the avoidance of mixed marriage to marriage between mixed nations. The mixed nations argument does not appear in the debate proposal, nor in the debate description, but only in Con's r1, and forward. Because the latter is not a proposed BoP for Pro prior to the beginning or arguments, it is an invalid challenge. Further, Con fails to rebut Pro simply on the basis of Pro's offered BoP based on what was proposed. pro ignored the goaql post change and continued his argument for the proposed status of marriage. Points to Pro.
Sourcing: Con offered no sources, the which are required by voting policy, else a voter has naught to vote regarding sourcing. Pro offered sufficient biblical sourcing to demonstrate BoP. Points to Pro.
S&G: tie
Conduct: Con's continued pressing for argument from Pro regarding an issue not presented in the proposal became belligerent. Con lost the point, pro takes it.
I understand there's no biblical basis but it makes this site no nevermind anyhow. But to us that read , understand biblical context know the truth.
thank you for voting.
There's no explicit biblical basis. There is arguably an implicit one. For example, the Tower of Babel story the people were one people, but then god deliberately scatters humanity across the planet. The end result was people were largely grouped together geographically with similar racial characteristics. Presumably god had his reasons for doing this. If we associate with the other peoples, form multiracial and multicultural societies, then we may be going against god's plan. The ultimate association available would be marriage and breeding.
There is either scripture against it or not. The rest comes down to explaining your understanding of what you read.
A better resolution would be that such passages are mistranslated or otherwise taken out of context. As is, you lose once someone brings up such a scripture.
Also if you're going to post nothing in R1, you should indicate that in the description.
It would be defined by it's scriptural context. Now we can say the connection between all the contexts is a distinct group. That doesn't give us a complete definition. We have to go by how the word is used in a passage.
What is the scriptural definition of race?
