It wasn't an argument until after the 19th century. Luther, Calvin, Zwingli and Bollinger all taught the PVM, and so did every Protestant church on the planet until it's denial become fashionable, but only with a small number of Protestant liberals. It's only been the last 50 years or so this...

1 Corinthians 9:4-5 'Do we not have the right to take along a Christian wife, as do the rest of the apostles, AND THE BROTHERS OF THE LORD, and Kephas (i.e., Peter)?' Since Paul is writing to Corinthians: citizens of a city in far off Greece, it is obvious that the distinguishing TITLE of...

Vows taken by a Jewish unmarried woman has already been discussed here, post #755. Luther, Calvin, Zwingli and Bollinger all taught the PVM. Are you saying the reformers didn't know their Bible? Thousands of conflicting "terms" isn't going to help you. None of these verses say "knew her...

All these on your list are derived from Scripture, either directly, indirectly, or from deduction. The evidence is there, but only if you are disposed to receive it. C. S. Lewis, the famous Anglican writer, once wrote: The very possibility of progress demands that there should be an unchanging...

The essential truths from the very first hundred years have not changed to this very day. Development of Doctrine: A Corruption of Biblical Teaching? That is an anti-Catholic myth. Can you quote an "added" verse? Or maybe you mean the 7 books that were subtracted from Scripture because they...

It's not a biblical position. It's fad theology that started in the 19th century. Spencer D Gear is a modernist. He most likely studied under modernists. Of course not! You are a Protestant! Your private opinion trumps any reformer, even your own pastor! Even Geisler! Are you saying Luther...

Christianity was re-invented in 1500 AD. That's true. It was invented by a reformer, John Calvin. The PVofM was a development of kernel scriptural truths over time, it didn't pop up out of thin air like sola scriptura. I've yet to meet a hostile anti-Catholic that understood what an...

"How can this be? I know not a man." is NOT very clear. We need exegetics and hermenuetics especially when a sola scripturist comes along with a new heresey, like the JW's and the SDA, and every heretic in the history of the world. You have no business imposing a 21st century American...

The Pope teaches us to follow Jesus, but you say we should not listen to the Pope but we should listen to you because you are more a pope than the Pope, and we should not follow Jesus because it's what the Pope teaches.:confused:

A Protestant Defense of Mary’s Perpetual Virginity "As an Evangelical, I had long regarded the reading of Ezekiel 44:1-2 to support Mary’s perpetual virginity as mere 'proof-texting.' I thought the Fathers were beginning with this passage and then trying to build a doctrine of perpetual...

You are missing the point. The Perpetual Virginity of Mary has been universally taught by all 3 main branches of Christianity for 2000 years, Protestant, Orthodox and Catholic. Calvin's errors have nothing to with the truths that all the early reformers unanimously taught. It's the nature of...

Luke 1:34 ειπεν δε μαριαμ προς τον αγγελον πως εσται τουτο επει ανδρα ου γινωσκω. Mary's response to the archangel Gabriel telling her she will conceive and bear a son makes no sense if her betrothal to Joseph was intended to include sexual relations. Gabriel gives no time frame to when she...

I don't see how that matters. It is an INDICATION Mary had taken vows of chastity, not a proof text. Luther, Calvin, Zwingli and Bollinger all taught the PVM. Denial of the PVM was never taught by any Protestant church until some 150 years ago therefore it is a false man made tradition.

It's Jesus (not literally) holding the Bread of Life (literally). Beware of counterfeits.

Vows Taken by A Young Woman in Her Father's House Numbers 30:3-5 Vows Taken by a Married Woman Numbers 30:6-8 Vows Taken by a Widow or Divorced Woman Numbers 30:9-15 All right: so what does all of this mean? The key is in the final section; the chapter is concerned with a woman's vows to...

You are playing word games. This nonsense has been refuted using a "Bible alone" approach. Jesus' "Brothers" and Mary's Perpetual Virginity It's interesting that many of today's Protestants reject Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, and Bollinger's acceptance of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary. Instead...

John begins with the words “In the beginning”. This immediately harkens us to the book of Genesis which opens with the same words. John then lays out a series of events in the life of Christ that mirror the Seven Days of Creation. GENESIS 1:1-5 "In the beginning..." JOHN 1:1 "In the...

The Protoevangelium of James is not official Church teaching. It is a historical document. It is believed to be fake by some because authentic history is their enemy.

Donald A. Carson (Baptist) “On the basis of the distinction between 'petros' . . . and 'petra' . . . , many have attempted to avoid identifying Peter as the rock on which Jesus builds his church. Peter is a mere 'stone,' it is alleged; but Jesus himself is the 'rock' . . . Others adopt some...

But as the passions of the Reformation era have cooled, and Protestant scholars have taken a more dispassionate look at this text, they have come to agree more and more that Jesus was referring to Peter himself as the rock. Of course, they disagree with the Catholic interpretation of what this...
