Send us a textArnie, Fred and Glenn continue their discussion of the apostacy or falling away from the New Testament pattern that occurred and, in this episode, continue to look at its history. We reviewed some of the departures we noted last week, in baptism and the Lord's Supper. Some began to worship men and women in the Catholic church, and we note that. Priests in the Catholic church also began hearing people confess their sins to them and we look at what this meant. We also discuss what was added to all the Bibles for a time. There were rules set up regulate what was eaten on certain days and, whether an individual ought to fast and even if priests and nuns could be married. We discuss these. Popes took upon themselves new titles and authorities that we note as well. All of these changes ended up causing a split between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern, Greek Orthodox Church. We complete this episode by beginning to discuss some of the individuals, such as John Wycliff, John Hus, Martin Luther, who began to question the changes that were made which resulted in what is called the Protestant Reformation. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. A transcript of this Buzzsprout episode is provided for your convenience.

We revisit the Democratic presidential candidates' policy positions from the 1984 campaign, compare that to McGovern's 1972 platform and modify previous statements about the Democrats and tariffs. Suffice to say it's a mixed bag.Then we move to our seemingly never-ending parade of "real" Catholics telling me that popes can be wrong and we don't really need to listen to them on matters of faith or morals, we can made those distinctions ourselves. My response: Welcome to the Reformation!Pope Francis has been great. He has been able to get the most conservative, hardcore, militant Catholics to suddenly adopt the position that Catholics are free to contradict the Pope. One odd argument, we don't have to listen to Urban VIII on salvation because "that was, like 800 years ago!" but somehow the current pope (who would presumably be the most accurate teacher of the faith using that reasoning) is the worst of the all? Hmm... #catholic #catholicism

In this lesson, we explore five key theories of biblical inspiration—intuition, illumination, dynamic, verbal, and dictation—as outlined by theologian Millard Erickson. We'll discuss how divine truth and human authorship interact in Scripture, the challenges of interpretation across denominations, and how translations can shape doctrine. Understanding these concepts helps us approach the Bible with humility and a deeper appreciation for its divine mystery. ----------------------------------- www.figtreeteaching.com Support Fig Tree Ministries: https://donorbox.org/support-figtree-ministries Fig Tree Amazon Portal: https://amzn.to/3USMelI Lesson Handout: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/understanding-biblical-inspiration Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7mh4v8e7FDwOoPhQd7bz7Y YouTube: https://youtu.be/lrW60vYhAMI Resources: Millard Erickson - Christian Theology - https://amzn.to/3WUWuu9 Dewey Beegle - Scripture, Tradition, and Infallibility https://amzn.to/4117lnI

In this episode Dale is going over Sola Scriptura which is a foundational doctrine in Protestant theology that asserts Scripture alone as the supreme authority in matters of faith and practice. This means that the Bible is seen as the ultimate and final guide for what Christians believe and how they should live, surpassing any other authority, such as church tradition, councils, or church leaders. The doctrine emerged as a central tenet of the Reformation, distinguishing Protestant beliefs from those of the Catholic Church, which also regards tradition and the authority of the Church as key sources of truth.

In this conversation, Gavin Ortlund, Ph.D., discusses the meaning of Protestantism as a renewal movement within the church. He emphasizes that Protestantism is not a rejection of other Christian traditions, but a reform and renewal effort based on the authority of Scripture. He also addresses the issue of institutional exclusivism and highlights the Protestant emphasis on the catholicity of the Church. Additionally, he explains his concerns with dogmas around the veneration of icons and the bodily assumption of Mary. The conversation explores the concepts of infallibility and authority within Protestantism, and the importance of abiding in Christ for assurance. The discussion concludes with a reflection on denominational identity and the need for Protestants to rediscover their rich historical roots.

Dr. Tony Costa discusses several problematic issues with Pope Francis and analyzes the various problems with the Roman Catholic doctrine of Papal Infallibility. In this episode, we discuss some of the scandals that Pope Francis has been through including changing views on divorce, universalism, the denial of Hell, being accused of heresy by Catholic theologians and more. We examine the top theological issues with Pope Francis and whether he could be legitimately considered a heretic by both Catholics and Protestants. We also look at reasons why Pope Francis has pushed leftward on many issues and consider whether the Roman Catholic doctrine of Papal Infallibility holds any weight. This is an episode we hope will help Protestants and Catholics alike think carefully about these issues and equip them for fruitful conversations. Tony Costa earned a B.A. and M.A. in Biblical Studies from the University of Toronto and earned his Ph.D in New Testament and Theology from Radboud University in the Netherlands. He is a professor of apologetics at the Toronto Baptist Seminary. He also teaches as an instructor with the University of Toronto in the areas of Gospel Studies and Archaeology of the Bible and the Ancient Near East. Tony is also an ordained Minister of the Gospel. He is the author of 'Worship and the Risen Jesus in the Pauline Letters' and 'Early Christian Creeds and Hymns'. His forthcoming book 'No King but Christ: The Collapse and Bankruptcy of Secular Worldviews' will be released later this year.

The big story over the Christmas break was the announcement from the Vatican about "blessing same sex couples." Some traditionalists have hailed this as pastorally helpful and clarifying, while others call it confusing and potentially troubling. Meanwhile the mainstream news reported the Roman Catholic Church as moving toward gay affirming. I've asked my friend, Anthony Costello, back on the show to help us sort through the confusion and share his perspective as a thoughtful former Catholic about why Protestants ought to care about these developments.

‎ In this episode, Adam reads a sermon by Charles Spurgeon on the infallibility of scripture. Though this sermon is not a defense of the infallibility of scripture, it is still so important. As Christians in this day and age, we must adopt the same sentiments that Spurgeon had.

In this episode Klayton Carson and Timothy Pigg discuss the infallibility of Scripture.

DAY 328 CHALLENGE “The pope is a sinful man who makes mistakes. Therefore, he can't be infallible.” DEFENSE The premise of this challenge is true; the conclusion is false. The pope is a sinful man, but this does not lead to the conclusion that he can't be infallible. Sinlessness—sometimes called impeccability—operates in a different sphere than infallibility does. Sinlessness is a quality pertaining to the moral order: It means not making a mistake in the sphere of one's own moral behavior. Infallibility is a quality pertaining to the doctrinal order: It deals with not making a mistake…

DAY 315 CHALLENGE “The Catholic Church claims a dangerous and sweeping power for itself when it says that it can teach infallibly. That means it can bind Catholics to believe anything.” DEFENSE There are limits to the Church's ability to teach infallibly, and it is used far less frequently than many suppose. First, it is limited by topic. Christ didn't give the Church the charism of infallibility so it could pronounce on just any subject. He gave it so the faithful could profess the Christian faith correctly (CCC 890). As a result, the Magisterium can infallibly teach truths that God…

DAY 303 CHALLENGE “Why should I think the Church can teach infallibly?” DEFENSE Reflection on Christ's teaching reveals why. Christ did not reserve teaching authority to himself but established a teaching authority (Latin, magisterium) in his Church (see Day 281). This authority was originally vested in Peter and the apostles, and when they passed from the scene it was inherited by their successors, the pope, and the bishops (cf. 1 Tim. 3:2, 2 Tim. 2:2; Irenaeus, Against Heresies 3:3:1; CCC 861–62).
