In the seventh installment of my series compering the Lutheran view of the Lord's Supper to the Reformed view I explain why the Lutheran view forces you to divinize the human nature of Christ, and that we should not do this as it is a condemned heresy.

In my 6th installment of comparing the Lutheran and Reformed views of the Lord's supper I explain how the word "is" in Jesus' statement "This is my body" can be read figuratively, and I also demonstrate that the literal interpretation harms rather than helps the Lutheran position.

In this video I discuss Marian devotion and the Immaculate Conception. Chrysostom on John 19:26-27, "And He, having committed His mother to John, said, Behold your Son. O the honor! With what honor did He honor the disciple! When He Himself was now departing, He committed her to the disciple to take care of. For since it was likely that, being His mother, she would grieve, and require protection, He with reason entrusted her to the beloved. To him He says, Behold your mother. This He said, knitting them together in charity; which the disciple understanding, took her to his own home. But why made He no mention of any other woman, although another stood there? To teach us to pay more than ordinary respect to our mothers. For as when parents oppose us on spiritual matters, we must not even own them, so when they do not hinder us, we ought to pay them all becoming respect, and to prefer them before others, because they begot us, because they bred us up, because they bare for us ten thousand terrible things. And by these words He silences the shamelessness of Marcion; for if He were not born according to the flesh, nor had a mother, wherefore takes He such forethought for her alone? Augustine: "A passage, therefore, of a moral character is here inserted. The good Teacher does what He thereby reminds us ought to be done, and by His own example instructed His disciples that care for their parents ought to be a matter of concern to pious children... How was it, then, that the disciple and servant received unto his own the mother of his Lord and Master, where no one called anything his own? Or, seeing we read a little further on in the same book, For as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of them, and laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need, are we not to understand that such distribution was made to this disciple of what was needful, that there was also added to it the portion of the blessed Mary, as if she were his mother; and ought we not the rather so to take the words, From that hour the disciple took her unto his own, that everything necessary for her was entrusted to his care? He received her, therefore, not unto his own lands, for he had none of his own; but to his own dutiful services, the discharge of which, by a special dispensation, was entrusted to himself." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode I defend Sola Scriptura. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this video I defend the protestant doctrine of the perspicuity of Scripture. Additional aids for the video: 1) Here is my blog on the Didache which I referenced: https://resistingthewinds.wordpress.com/2020/07/15/does-the-didache-teach-a-eucharistic-sacrifice/ 2) Here is an interesting admission from New Advent about the historicity of the Immaculate Conception: "In regard to the sinlessness of Mary the older Fathers are very cautious: some of them even seem to have been in error on this matter. Origen, although he ascribed to Mary high spiritual prerogatives, thought that, at the time of Christ's passion, the sword of disbelief pierced Mary's soul; that she was struck by the poniard of doubt; and that for her sins also Christ died (Origen, "In Luc. hom. xvii"). In the same manner St. Basil writes in the fourth century: he sees in the sword, of which Simeon speaks, the doubt which pierced Mary's soul (Epistle 260). St. Chrysostom accuses her of ambition, and of putting herself forward unduly when she sought to speak to Jesus at Capharnaum (Matthew 12.46; Chrysostom, Homily 44 on Matthew). But these stray private opinions merely serve to show that theology is a progressive science." 3) Here is an interesting admission from a citation found at Catholic Answers on the historicity of the Bodily Assumption: "We have known for some time that there were widespread 'Transitus Stories' that date from the sixth century that teach Mary's glorious Assumption. It was the promulgation of the dogma of the Assumption by Pope Pius XII that rekindled interest in these stories of the end of Mary's life."

A response to the misrepresentations of Sola Scriptura from How to be Christian.

Here is a link to James White's debate with Gary Michuta on the Old Testament Canon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAoNfH1rFtE Here is a link to another very good debate on the OT Canon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfMvCAU4tno Here is a link to the book I recommended: https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Revisited-Establishing-Authority-Testament/dp/1433505002 Here is a link to one of James White's debates on Sola Scriptura: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxTEtArbCgs Here is a link to an article that defends the "sola scriptura presupposes scripture" quote discussed in the video: http://turretinfan.blogspot.com/2010/01/beckwiths-bait-and-switch.html

Matt Fradd tries to provide seven "Catholic things" that Protestants should be able to embrace. I refute much of what he says.
