Stephen BoyceGUEST
And what you said a minute ago is so important because a lot of the essentials that I've been arguing for recently, even on my own channel, is that most Reformed people that are celebrating Reformation Day are actually completely detached from the Reformers' theology and ecclesiology.
Stephen BoyceGUEST
And again, I mean, some of these that you mentioned, the Marian teachings, I could give you numerous examples of Zwingli's successors and Luther's successors who had a high Mariology.
Stephen BoyceGUEST
They believed in baptism or regeneration.
Stephen BoyceGUEST
They believed in infant baptism, and they believed that it forgives original sin.
Glenys LivingstoneGUEST
I think when I saw even in those days well certainly when I was a student of theology and I could see that the church would simply use I'm very pleased for people, women who want to reform, they're essential but I could see that the church would just suck my energy or you know And so they start to mouth what I say, but it's for building the empire, really.
Glenys LivingstoneGUEST
You know, it's what they did to Mariology.
Glenys LivingstoneGUEST
You know, Geoffrey Ashe wrote The Virgin way, way back there, and that was a crucial book.
Glenys LivingstoneGUEST
But what the church did to Mariology, when they needed her, They subsumed her, you know.
Glenys LivingstoneGUEST
They put on frocks.
Glenys LivingstoneGUEST
They wear the gear.
Glenys LivingstoneGUEST
They wear the power dress, the frocks or whatever.
Glenys LivingstoneGUEST
And so it was in 431 in Ephesus, you know, they declared Mary mother of God or something.
Stephen BoyceHOST
You should be celebrating a radical reformation.
Stephen BoyceHOST
You do not belong to Luther's Reformation because Luther's Reformation had a high Mariology that most Protestants aren't willing to have.
Stephen BoyceHOST
I'm just saying.
Stephen BoyceHOST
Now, I don't want to continue in her paper here for the sake of time because the question comes down to Mary's perpetual virginity, Mary's Theotokos title, Mary's, I guess you could say, the bodily assumption.
Stephen BoyceHOST
was a perpetual virgin, but she was sinless, and that she was given a special grace to not sin.
Stephen BoyceHOST
Even if you want to say, okay, well, I don't accept that at conception or before conception or whatever, because that title and terminology was still being worked out, maybe you hold more to the Eastern Orthodox, where there was a purification for her at some point before she conceived of the Holy Spirit to give birth to the God-man through Christ, Maybe that's your position, but do you believe that she was sinless? If you do not believe that she was sinless or made sinless, you are not a part of Luther's Reformation.
Stephen BoyceHOST
You're actually part of the Radical Reformation, and you're failing this test miserably because the Reformers still had a high Mariology.
Stephen BoyceHOST
Unless somebody come in and go, oh, here we are.
Andrew SandlinGUEST
In fact, gradually the church, the medieval church, supplanted the Bible.
Andrew SandlinGUEST
And that's how anti-biblical practices like Mariology and prayer to the saints and purgatory and later in the 19th century papal infallibility became standard fare in the Roman church.
Andrew SandlinGUEST
The Reformation's first goal was to return to the Bible as the final authority.
Andrew SandlinGUEST
This means the Bible judges everyone and everything, including the church.
Tiff ShuttlesworthHOST
Again, the Bible does teach that a person can turn away from Christ but our salvation rests in Christ alone, not in sacramental works.
Tiff ShuttlesworthHOST
And I'm not here to go into Mariology.
Tiff ShuttlesworthHOST
I don't want to get into some of the concepts of prayer and praying to the saints.
Tiff ShuttlesworthHOST
That's not what this Bible study is about.
Nick NeedhamGUEST
I mean, he was an ardent devotee of the papacy.
Nick NeedhamGUEST
He had a very ambiguous attitude towards Mariology.
Nick NeedhamGUEST
You know, the Catholic practice of how Mary functions in your faith.
Nick NeedhamGUEST
Because on the one hand, he did believe in asking for Mary's intercession.
Tom NashGUEST
Some other things, too.
Tom NashGUEST
Luther had a very high Mariology and he didn't agree everything about the church, as well as the fact that these latter day reformers are themselves all Catholic.
Tom NashGUEST
They are.
Tom NashGUEST
And therefore, what does this show? It shows a discontinuity.
Robert BaltodanoHOST
No man comes to the Father but through me.
Robert BaltodanoHOST
Those are some practical verses you can share when it comes to Roman Catholics to talk to them about the whole Mariology and worship of other saints.
Vincent FernandezHOST
And another verse, I mean, a simple one, the Ten Commandments that the Catholics very much hold to as do we, you know, it's don't make any graven images.
Vincent FernandezHOST
And so how do you, you know, and if you go particularly to those verses, it says, you shall not make any graven images nor any likeness which are in heaven above.
Avery RhotonHOST
Waldo and the Waldensians here, they maintain a very venerated view of Mary.
Avery RhotonHOST
So their Mariology stays.
Avery RhotonHOST
So in that sense, they're not proper Protestants.
Avery RhotonHOST
But in the core elements we see here, they are.
EthanHOST
because that's the linchpin of all these arguments.
EthanHOST
I think if you get any, any sub talk of it, we go to, I disagree with Mariology a ton, but if I got over my soul scripture and I was like, Oh, there are possible infallible authorities outside of the Bible.
EthanHOST
well then it doesn't matter what I think about Mary.
EthanHOST
If the, if I was convinced of Catholic Catholic authority, I'd be like, okay, well I guess Mary's right.
