Oh, absolutely. So these Marian Dogmas are not optional or fitting for the faithful Catholic to believe, but are required and binding to the Catholic to remain in good standing in communion with the Roman Catholic church, despite them all contradicting God breathed scripture. Steve Christie - Apologetics315 Debate: Do Protestants Have the Correct Old Testament Canon? But maybe are there other verses that have talked about that Mary gave birth to other children and so she would not be a perpetual Virgin? If Luke was communicating Jesus was Marys only child, he wouldve used the Greek word [foreign language 00:04:55] translated only begotten, rather than [foreign language 00:04:57] like he did elsewhere in his gospel, such as in Luke 7:12, 8:42 and 9:38.And in John 3:16, where Jesus is the only begotten son of God, meaning the only one. So Steve is saying that the word adelphi, which means sister. His father was a drummer during the Big Band Era and played with the likes of Tommy Dorsey and Artie . Because once again, not every truth of the faith, not every truth about first century life, for example, has been handed down to us. So thats another one. There might be historical errors, for example, in some magisterial documents, talking about the history of a doctrine, whether a certain saint or father believed X, Y, or Z. Infallibility has a narrow sense and only covers what is specifically defined. They point us to Jesus Christ. First, ancient Jews kept their books in a series of scrolls and not in a single book, so its anachronistic to say this refers to the table contents in a book. Aaron Frederick, one of my YouTube subscribers, rightly observed, In a courtroom, evidence that is thrown out or dismissed by a court cannot be used to find a verdict. Now, does the Bible teach that everyone has sinned? And we can safely assume that Jesus saw the body of Moses on the Mount of Transfiguration. And so when we look to Mary, we always follow the words that she uttered to the servants at the Wedding Feast of Cana, Do whatever he tells you. And Jesus tells us to honor our father and mother, and we should honor his father and mother. When early followers of Jesus began to focus their adoration on Mary, rather than on Christ alone, Jesus responded, Rather blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it. Thank you. . And just so everybody knows, youre welcome to interrupt him or move the conversation along as you see fit. So were not talking about translations of the Bible. And again, just to give an example in the Septuagint, in the Book of Sirach, which is inspired for Trent, but its not inspired for me, it uses the Greek word [Greek 00:47:52], which is a masculine form of [Greek 00:47:55] when it says, Hail Mary, full of grace. And its used to describe a man who is full of grace. I wouldnt assume that that involves a vow virginity, but I think theres a different context in relation to the fact that we have betrothal between Mary and Joseph, that its an odd construction. So I would actually disagree with Cardinal Newman to be deep into history as deceased to be Protestant. One other point that I would raise is that other arguments that Protestants use to try to show that Jesus had brothers simply dont work. Jackson Memorial Hospital. Yeah. Gordon Clark - Christian philosopher, apologist, and theologian. Also, Christie claims, as do many Protestants, that Jesus and the apostles endorsed only the Protestant canon because they never explicitly cite the deuterocanonical books of Scripture. First Corinthians 15 talks about heavenly bodies and that Mary is given Well, I think what Steve was saying here is that, okay, well, Mary had an earthy body. So whether we are discussing the Marian dogmas, the papacy, the purpose of baptism or communion, or the biblical Canon, the real authority behind these debates is whether you trust in the sufficiency of God [inaudible 01:52:23] Scripture to reel itself to you or to the Magisterium, which often conflicts with it. I agree that it is used predominantly of Jesus, talking about salvation from sin, but I would say read the context. Its [inaudible 01:14:35]. Well the thing is, in both cases in the Septuagint and in Lukes gospel, theyre both in the perfect passive of participle, so theyre being used the same way. The Bible doesnt say that apostles are baptized, but it certainly seems quite fitting that they would be given everything else. What about the deuterocanonical books of Scripture written in the 400 years before Christs birth? If you want to go more into that, my book, The Case for Catholicism has a chapter on the immaculate conception. Defenders Media provides media solutions to an alliance of evangelistic ministries that defend the Christian worldview. If she is not righteous, then Jesus did not redeem her and she is still dead in her trespasses and sins. People are familiar with this one about why Protestant Bibles are smaller. But they disagree about that because at least infant baptism, for many Protestants, at least it doesnt contradict Scripture, even if Scripture is silent on the matter. (Hebrews 11:35b, 2 Maccabees 6,7), Is the Apocrypha or Deutero-Canonical Books Part of the Bible? Alright? Yeah. Okay. Are you talking about 19 probably later, after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, I know not Oh, the ones that have not known a man? So ultimately Steve has the burden here to show that the Marian dogmas contradict scripture, and hes brought up a lot of points. And it is from the pure fiction of the proto evangelium of James, Odes of Solomon, the Ascension of Isaiah, the Transitus of Pseudo-Melito, and other false gospels and apocryphal literature, some attached with anathemas by early popes for entertaining these works. He is also a registered nurse and Steve discusses the challenges of balancing ministry and a career. Mark - Hello Christie, thank you so much for . I believe all things are possible with God. No, thats fine. The word savior is used consistently in the New Testament to refer to a savior of sins. So when were speaking of the adelphos, the brethren of the Lord, its used in some sort of non-standard way. And so if it doesnt contradict scripture, then it should be an issue between Catholics and Protestants of secondary importance, much like how people disagree about infant baptism. And I already cited Greek scholars like Bill Mounce and New Testament scholars, like Richard Bauckham, who agree with me that adelphi has a broader semantic range than what Steve has brought up here. But when we look at something like Strongs for example, are you aware that Strongs defines adelphos and adelphe the same way? Isiah wrote the deliverer will come out of Zion. So does that mean that Mary could have had daughters because it says, the son of Mary? I dont have a problem with the word a adelphos, that was never my argument. Well, there we go and right on time. Hes referred to the son of Joseph in Johns gospel. Your view is that the word adelphos, what it means in the brethren is that its talking about Jesus and siblings, they have the same mother but they have different fathers. Can you repeat the question real quick? Well, why would I believe that Marys parents-. After an in-depth study of the writings of the Church Fathers, both Steve and his wife Janet converted to the Catholic Church. So this next question is for you, Steve. As Christian evangelist and author Mike Gendron wrote, The most deceptive counterfeit is the one that most resembles the genuine article. The same is true with detecting a counterfeit Mary, by first studying the genuine Mary of God Scripture, which does not teach these much later Roman Catholic dogmas, but just the opposite that she was, past tense, the Virgin mother of our Lord who redeemed and delivered her from her sins and who died and will be, future tense, bodily resurrected when Jesus comes to catch up as church. That rather, theres nothing in there to preclude people being assumed body and soul into heaven, including Mary. They werent arguments that I made, but they were arguments that other people have made. Not Really Of Us: Why Do Children of Christian Parents Abandon the Faith? So even if that dogma is defined ex cathedra by a pope, by an ecumenical council, or by the magisterium, if it contradicts scripture, that dogma must be rejected. Trent made the comment about the word until thats used in Second Samuel, but it uses the word [Greek 00:37:31], not [Greek 00:37:31]. And two, they are binding to the faithful Catholic, who is threatened with an anathema if they reject any of them, despite them all contradicting God-breathed scripture. Gov. Yeah. If Mary kept the law, she could not be made righteous since righteousness does not come from keeping the law, but through Christs death. Thats why Protestant scholars since the nineteenth century have taken the position Herbet Ryle did in saying the legend about the Great Synagogue was wholly untrustworthy., Christie also cites Geoghan and Homess book The Bible for Dummies in favor of the Great Synagogue, but on page 11 the authors make no mention of the Great Synagogue or of Ezras canon being identical to todays Protestant Old Testament. And something else that the Pope says in the declaration is not infallible. So lets take a look at them. Might give you a slight nudge in the direction, but by no means a full proof. In Isaiah 7:16 it talks about a time before a child knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. An interview of Gary Habermas with Steve Forkin of No Apologies; Video Link . Yes, and Christie admits they did, though he thinks we can discern which Jews had the correct canon of Scripture. God is Marys savior because he regarded her lowly state and shes been lifted out of it by being called to bring the Messiah into the world. Yes. He was a key contributor in the Bills comeback win against the Houston Oilers, in which Buffalo rallied from a 32-point deficit[2] to complete the largest comeback victory in NFL history. She is not mentioning sin in any case. I think it might be best if I just go back and forth, so like one question for Steve and he answers, then Ill do a question for Trent. Just keep it shorter than his response. In the Darby translation of the New Testament, where in second Thessalonians Chapter 2, when it talks about worshiping images and worshiping idols, it actually uses the word veneration and it literally can be translated worship. And I would also address that Luke actually specifically states that it is a salutation. But again, like it says, they were assumed bodily into heaven, but they had inherited original sin, just as Mary did. He graduated from UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI / SCHOOL OF MEDICINE in 1995. Good, because you know what? And I really appreciate that you are arguing against Catholicism based on what she teaches, right? In week 1 vs. the Tennessee Titans, Christie went 3 for 4 on field-goal attempts (41, 42, & 33 yards). So if you got a hallow.com/mattfred right now, click that link in the description below, youll get a three month trial. By that argument, St. Anne would also have to be immaculately conceived. Yeah. So if youre going to say Mary sinned because an offering was made, then youd also have to say that Jesus sinned as well. Okay. Wouldnt they have noticed that their child up to the age of 12 or 13, however, she was, that she had not committed a single sin? . Communication, Canon, and Unbeliever Knowledge of God, Reformed Apologist (Ronald W. Di Giacomo). First Corinthians 15, in my opening statement, it says that there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies and people who have earthly bodies are sown perishable, meaning corruptible in dishonor, meaning contempt, reproach. I mean, because honestly I believe that all three do contradict all of them. Even if it is talking about sin, if its talking about being saved from sin before one came into existence, preemptively saved, then it still fits the context. However, prior to this debate, Trent and I had agreed not to talk about Mary being referred to it as the mother of God, because its not really an issue that we disagree on, as long as it is understood how it was originally meant to be a Christological title and not a specific title of Mary, such as being queen of heaven. Not just saying that because theyre paying me, although that definitely helps. Professional career [ edit] Early career [ edit] Hebrews 11:5 states, "By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death.' And he was not found because God took him up.
