Christie claims the Hebrew canon was closed by Ezra and other learned men at an event called the Great Synagogue. For example, in Hebrews 9:27, it says that it is appointed for men to die once and then face judgment and this is true for basically every single human being whoever lived, except for some exceptions like Lazarus and people that Jesus raised from the dead who died twice. Just for fun, I mean, I would probably enjoy listening to Ignatius. I mean, I have to really think about that. In the declaration on the specific dogma, the immaculate conception of Mary, theres absolutely nothing in the dogma itself that says anything that this part is infallible. And then Steve, what are some objections you hear from Protestants to Catholics that you dont think are good? Agreed. But I think so far, this has shown that Steve has not been able to apply scripture in an unambiguous way to show the Marian Dogma was contradicted.

So does the Bible say Mary gave birth to anyone besides Jesus? So if Jesus has adelphi, he must have had sisters who were born of Mary. The Protestant Old Testament canon is also not what we find in the oldest manuscripts of the Bible, such as codex Sinaticus and codex Vaticanus, which date from the fourth century after Christ. 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. So is this your view, Jesus and his siblings have the same mother but they have different fathers? My point in that its not the definite article that is interesting, the son of Mary. Should we baptize babies or not? The Protestant biblical scholar, Victor Hamilton, says, To say that Jesus is Marys prototokos is simply to say Mary had no child before she gave birth to Jesus. This is a term that refers to the child who opens the womb, and it makes sense that Luke would use prototokos because the term, firstborn, is later used in Luke 2:22 through 23 to talk about the purification rite and rite of presenting those who are the firstborn. For example, Denver seminary professor Joseph Dodson says, Scholars for at least three centuries have found value in comparing the deuterocanonical book of Wisdom and Romans (The Powers of Personification: Rhetorical Purpose in the Book of Wisdom and the Letter to the Romans). The relevance would be that you are using it. So lets stick with what scripture actually supports. Are you going to answer the question, does it describe her giving birth to anyone else or say she gave birth to anyone else? So we wouldnt be surprised that Septuagintal constructions would be used in the New Testament, including the fact that [foreign language 00:26:54] can imply a reversal as it does in the Greek gold Testament but it wouldnt be surprising to find it in the New Testament. Ye, because Jesus younger half sibling was Joseph while Jesus father was God. But in his encyclical, [foreign language 00:20:13] Pope Pius the 12 said Mary is the new Eve who is free from all sin original or personal. Does the Bible say that Mary herself committed a personal sin or that she inherited original sin? Yeah, no, no, no.

Peels notes in his study of the passage, Jesus is not marking beginning and end points in time but rather is contrasting Abels secret death in the wilderness with Zechariahs public death in the Temple. So were not talking about translations of the Bible. Do you still have it? Were going to move into seven-minute rebuttals. Thats not true. And thats why I went [inaudible 01:47:13] and why I argued, how is it used specifically in the New Testament? So I dont know if that answers a question but probably the bodily assumption. No. Well, the answer to the question needs to be in relation to applying it elsewhere in scripture because theres a lot of people that are mentioned in scripture that doesnt say that they had any children. 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. I would ask him this question, you can answer it now or some other venue, who was the first Christian, like author, father, theologian, who held to the same theology that Steve does?

The Buffalo Bills officially signed Christie to a one-day contract, thus to retire as a Buffalo Bill. As the Protestant scholar J.N.D. Its a way to begin exploration of it. But even at that, the Greek word for adelphi, in the Old Testament, when its used, its used even in a translation, not to mean anything other than a biological sister or a believing sister, like the sister nations of Israel and Judah. 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. Lets see here. Both of us agree thats not the case for Jesus. And another is a partial contradiction, such as the dogma of Jehovahs Witnesses on the identity of Jesus. I mean, you got me on the spot. [Greek 00:53:10] in the Old Testament is described as a savior, but not as a savior from sin.
