    A debate on when the "One Flesh" union occurs, it's effects, and meaning.

    In this debate, I will attempt to prove that while fornication is a sin, it does not necessarily equate to a union of the flesh and what does achieve that union is the irreversible transfer of genetic materiel, its efficacy, and its consequences. To do this, I will run through 5 points: 1. What...
