Does the Bible Promote Polygamy? Captain Tazaryak vs Mike Jones (InspiringPhilosophy) Debate
At a moderated debate on whether the Bible promotes polygamy, Captain Tazaryak (Hebrew Israelite tradition) argues the Bible permits and regulates polygamy through laws and examples. Mike Jones (Inspiring Philosophy) argues the Bible does not promote polygamy, claiming monogamy is prescribed in Genesis 2 and the New Testament. After rebuttals, cross-exams, open dialogue, closings, and Q&A, both reaffirm their positions.
