    The statement using "scripture to interpret scripture" is incoherent and begs the question. Who's interpreting the scripture being used "o interpreter scripture"??? and on and on. Obviously, everybody has certain presuppositions the bring into hermeneutics. The correct question one tough to be asking is "Are your presuppositions logically valid and consistent with what we see in the text?". I say this as someone who agrees that James white did a better job in this debate.

He simply is not saved and in unrighteousness he actually speaks and fights against God and His Word while pretending to be Holy. Notice he admits Jesus is God in the flesh, but he says to follow Jesus and not the authority of the Bible. 🤔 Jesus is God in the Flesh, who was there when His Word was established in Heaven. 📖 Psalm 119:89 "Forever, O LORD, thy Word is settled in Heaven." 📖 You must be led by The Holy Spirit, the 3rd person of the Triune God...and at Regeneration God does change a heart and gives New Godly desires.

He says "But I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.” You don't get to pick the parts of Jesus you like and reject whatever makes you uncomfortable.

    I lived as an unbeliever many years, and I lived shamelessly in my sins. I accepted all the things the world does. Yet I never thought to call myself a "progressive Christian" because that would have been absurd. The Christian faith and the Bible was against those things, and I knew it. Just be honest with yourself and identify as a Humanist if you want to endorse sin. You are no more a Christian than an Atheist is. (Though strictly speaking you wouldn't be a very good Humanist either, since all sin is harmful to humanity.)

    I've been saved since I was a child, but I did always find it odd why these progressive/gay/woke "christians" even want to claim to be Christian. They obviously aren't, they don't believe the bible is the true inerrant word of God, many of them don't believe Jesus was God, etc. So why even bother with trying to take the label of Christian? I'm not a muslim, I don't believe the Quran. So it'd be odd to claim I'm a muslim that believes Jesus was God and died and rose again and go around arguing with muslims that I really am a muslim

    @@MansterBear Yeah it makes no sense. I think to a degree they enjoy damaging the Church with their lie, and it requires claiming to be a Christian or a minister to do so. Also, it could be a reaction by people in the Church to hang on to the emotional benefits and the peace it brings, while avoiding the harder parts of the faith. People in large numbers started losing trust in the Bible in the 19th century, and many just stayed in the churches they belonged to, weakened doctrine, and gradually conformed them to their preferences. It is dishonest, and the right thing to do is just to leave if you no longer believe. You can still find meaning in Jesus, as in other great figures, but you don't have to live a lie. They just lost their faith. As you say, it is as ridiculous as a Muslim claiming to be a Christian because he believes in Jesus too, just in a radically different way. Hindus as well can recognize Him as one of many incarnations of their deity, without ever having to claim to be Christian.

    Giles' argument "It's better to be a eunuch than to be married" falls flat for two reasons even within his worldview. (1) From his perspective, it is comparing two incompatible things: gender (eunuch) and relationship (marriage). (2) If we try to force the comparison, it either (a) compares celibacy to marriage, and the issue of a third gender is dropped entirely, or (b) pits various genders against each other and says that one (eunuch) is superior to the others (male/female). Frankly, we all know that this is where the movement is going, but I don't know if Giles is man enough (pun intended) to say it out loud.

It’s as if White is saying “the OT laws against gay marriage still apply, but the laws protecting polygamy don’t apply anymore” and Giles is saying “well if you get to cherry pick like that, then I’ll just cherry pick too and say anti homosexuality laws don’t apply anymore either.” My view is that the perfect God NEVER caves to the wickedness of man, in any context.. we shouldn’t cherry pick what laws we want to abide by and what laws we don’t want to abide by.. which necessarily means homosexuality is always a sin, and polygamy/concubinage was never a sin. There is a distinction between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law.. the spirit just has wider applications. Gods word truly is immutable and never contradicts itself.

    Another brilliant performance by Dr. White. He argued from the God-breathed scriptures that God made male and female and how this is a gospel issue as Paul said in 1 Corinthians 6 that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. News flash, arsenokoitai, arsenos (arsenos--male) ou koimethese koiten (koiten--to lie with sexually, have intercourse) gynaikos (Lev. 18:22) literally means men having sex with men. On the other hand, Keith Giles spent nearly his whole time in the cross-exam questioning the authority of the Bible and trying, unsuccessfully, to find contradictions. That tells you all you need to know about Giles. As he said himself, "The Bible is not the Christian's final authority." We see this when he made such statements as Gay marriage evolved outside the Bible. He constantly set up false dilemmas like the map is not the treasure. It is not either or but both. The so-called six genders were never proven outside a vague reference to some material he pulled off the internet. Giles had more than enough time and opportunity to provide names and evidence of those promoting the six genders but he could not even come up with one. Dr. White tried to keep Giles focused on what Jesus actually said in Matthew 19 and Christ's citation of the creation account of God making a binary male and female but Giles refused to acknowledge Jesus' answer instead diverting to divorce and eunuchs. In the end, the debate centered around whether we can answer the question of "What is Biblical Marriage" by the Bible or not. Dr. White demonstrated that we can, Steve Giles statement that asking "is it biblical leads us down the wrong path" said it all.

Plus the ops wasn't a huge challenge if any at all to begin with so keeping it basic was very necessary.

    Major long known definition of a eunuch by dictionary: "A castrated MAN, traditionally employed as a harem attendant or as a functionary in certain Asian courts.". "A castrated MAN!". It's not difficult. Ethiopian eunuch was very likely this very type of a harem attendant Giles definition of a eunuch I have never heard before

    using extra biblical sources to make his argument. the Talmud, Mishnah, etc are commentaries and oral traditions. they are not the Tanakh. the eunuch is a man who has no sexual organ (ie balls) not some other gender. Giles whole argument is based on his own personal view.

    Keith Giles: If arsen acoita (the Greek word translated as "homosexual", "effeminate", or "abusers of themselves with mankind") certainly means temple prostitutes, why isn't the word for "temple" or "prostitute" used in the compound word? I see no basis for the claim the it means temple prostitute.

    The Eunuch reference in Matthew 19 has nothing to do with gender or an illusion to differing marriage. It is a direct discussion about the individuals contribution to the kingdom. Paul references the same thing in 1 Corinthians. Paul says that it is better to stay single. Why? Because single individuals can give more sacrificially if their time and talents without being distracted by the needs of their spouse. This was not a redefinition of marriage or an urging that we “rethink” the institution. But rather a focus on the purpose of the Christian life. We die to self and pick up our cross to the glory of God. For some of us that is in a marriage, for others it is staying single. NONE of this is elevating pleasure as a foundation for marriage or the Christian life in general. But to the progressive it appears that the scriptures that address the issue merely speak to the specific context of the specific verse and that the VERY THING we are asked to turn from SIN is ok because the question in Matt 19 is was not specific enough. Got it.

    Dr. White, I sent you a book 2 years ago, I’m not sure if you ever got it, from a local, affirming church, called “the children are free“ and in that book was the first time I had ever heard the eunuch equals transgender argument. It’s almost laughable, but it is becoming a very common argument.

    For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it." (Matthew 19:12, ESV) I see some fundamental problems with Keith’s interpretation of this verses: 1. If eunuchs are “the third gender” or orientation then it is clear that contrary to what LGBT preachers preach today - this gender and orientation CAN be changed. Jesus says that one can be made or make himself an eunuch. Which simply excludes the possibility of understanding “eunuch” as a orientation or third gender. 2. The fact that the apostles cannot grasp a certain concept is no argument at all. They didn’t grasp the concept of the Messiah being killed and yet it was the reality they were confronted with and pretty much forced to accept. 3. As the apostles were marvelling about the difficulty of marriage when a man cannot simply send his wife away for any reason, Jesus gives them the option - eunuchs - not as a “third” gender but as castrated men - it is simple as that. Don’t you wanna get married? Cut your testies off so that you don’t sin burning with passion (it’s better to get into Heaven without your balls then to Hell with them)…

    I'm generally in favor of Dr. White's position, but the fact that he's never heard of chromosomal abnormalities that are different than XX and XY tells me he really does need to brush up on his understanding of intersex people (which is NOT any kind of endorsement of transgenderism, which is completely different). P.S. Having listened now to the rest of the debate, and yesterday's DL, now I see that Dr. White understands intersex conditions. He threw me off early on with his statement that sounded like "what other types are there than XX and XY, I'm not aware of them". That statement was confusing.

    Giles lost definitively. Haven’t heard a good biblical case for homosexual marriage…not even for homosexual relationships. The Bible either prohibits/condemns sex between homosexuals or it assumes a 1 man + 1 woman marriage. Giles had no legs to stand on here; even with his hyper reduction of the Bible to only Jesus’ words (as if it isn’t Jesus, in the being of Yahweh, speaking throughout the whole Bible). Not to mention his lack of preparation on the topic of transgenderism. He just threw claims out there. If you can’t back it up with sources, don’t bring it up. Cheap debate trick (“I’ll send it to you”).

    Giles appears to not be even familiar with vast sections of basic scripture. I do believe this atrophy is a reflection of the lack of respect and awe of His word. John 1 clearly speaks of the Word being God. When we start to treat the word as merely a guideline the temptation is great to look for loopholes and exceptions, not to the glory of God, but to sooth our desire for Sin. 1 John 2:15 warns us not to love this world but to love the Father. And that love of this world is NOT from the Father. The desire to compromise the word and bring doubt is merely a desire to make sin acceptable. And the love of the Father is not present. But it sure make them more popular at parties.
