When Matthew 1:25 writes, Joseph kept Mary a virgin until she gave birth to a son, the specific Greek words [foreign language 00:02:06] when translated until, is used consistently in the New Testament to refer to a change in condition. And we can actually discern from others passages in scripture that Jesus brothers are his biological younger half siblings. But My covenant I will establish with Isaac" ( Gen 17:20-21 ). So the protestant reformers like Luther and Zwingly, did they believe Mary was a perpetual Virgin and were they committed to Sola scriptura? Thats good for me too. 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. Well, actually one other point I will bring up is that some people say the Bible teaches that Mary sinned, because it describes her going and offering a purification in accord with the Mosaic law. I mean, you got me on the spot. As I said before, these could be adoptive siblings. And of course, he might say, Well, what about Jesus? Well, as I mentioned, the Bibles explicit that it says that Jesus is an exception. Are you going to answer the question, does it describe her giving birth to anyone else or say she gave birth to anyone else? Yeah, no, Im grateful for Steve to take part in this. Now Steve has said, Well, they were assumed into heaven alive and if Mary died, she would not be assumed into heaven. But thats not the case. Ravi Zacharias has long been recognized as one of the most respected of Christian apologists. [inaudible 01:22:12] Thats fine. So I would actually disagree with Cardinal Newman to be deep into history as deceased to be Protestant. Alright? They also didnt believe the Gospels or other New Testament documents were inspired, so they dont have a great track record when it comes telling us what is and isnt Scripture. Well, in your example, its talking about father. We have to remember that. For example, it may be a reference to the minor prophet Zechariah (who was killed in the temple according to the Targum on Lamentations) as opposed to the Zechariah in Chronicles. Regarding proof from scripture, for this dogma founder and senior fellow of Catholic Answers, Karl Keating wrote There is none, in his book, Catholicism and Fundamentalism understanding that these three Catholic Marian Dogmas contradict scripture has twofold importance. And the other concern, again, that I have is from Lumen Gentium, which is a Dogmatic Constitution of the Church, that it is binding to Catholics that even if a Roman pontiff does not speak ex cathedra, it is binding. Well done. He had mentioned about, in the book of Jude, about Moses and the devil contending for the body, or Michael contending with a body of Moses with Michael the archangel. Peter - A Leader in Apologetics How many times have you heard the Apostle Peter portrayed as the brash fisherman whose mouth was always several steps ahead of his brain? That has not been handed down to us but that she was assumed in heaven was even though [inaudible 01:06:39]. Instead, we should listen to Christ, his apostles, and the Church they founded for the answer to what constitutes Sacred Scripture. In fact, as Baptist scholar Lee Mcdonald points out, the book of Malachi only implores its listeners to remember the law of Moses, which would be strange if there were a fixed set of writings established by Ezra called the prophets at this time. It is used this way consistently in the New Testament, as well as in the Septuagint where it is used over a hundred times, such as the Sister Kingdoms of Israel and Judah who worship the same one true God of the Old Testament. Its not necessarily saying every single father affirms something, since, as Steve said, you wont necessarily get them all affirming, [inaudible 01:36:48] they dont write on everything. They point us to Jesus Christ. So lets just stick to scripture. So multi-part question here. . Christies argument continues to fall apart because it assumes Paul retained a pharisaical identity into his ministry as an apostle. Fair enough, Steve shaking his head no, but well leave it at that for now. Jude 9 talks about the archangel, Michael, contending with the devil disputing about the body of Moses and taking the body of Moses, the dead body of Moses, that being assumed into heaven. So, if the greatest of those born before Christ wasnt constricted to accepting the canon Christie is defending, then we shouldnt be compelled to do the same, either. It sounds like you are using it for your view of Jesus in a very unique way. Why would that be the case? I wish that all were as I myself am. Since Mary and Joseph wouldve been the most chaste holy family, this would not apply to them. Athanasius likewise calls Wisdom and Judith Scripture and appeals to Wisdom 7:25-27 as evidence for the deity of Christ. 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. Now the doctrine of original sin is true, but the Bible does not explicitly say that it applies to every single individual without exception. If Mary kept the law, she could not be made righteous since righteousness does not come from keeping the law, but through Christs death. No. Steve Jordahl, Billy Davis. So hes just talking about this birthright that he mentions about 10 versus later. Yet the presence of those exceptions doesnt disprove the nearly universal truth the sacred author was affirming. So this question comes from Mitchell Godfrey, and Im going to just change his question a little because he said he is not going to be watching live. For example, a Mormon dogma that says that Jesus is not God contradicts scripture explicitly, such as in John 20:28, when Thomas sees Jesus and calls him, My Lord and my God. Implicitly would be liberal Catholics and Protestants who condone abortion, which contradicts scripture stating that life begins at conception, and scripture condemns the shedding of innocent blood.

In fact, in that debate, I never brought up the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Sure. Its a good question.
