  1. 0:00Do you believe Mary died?
  2. 0:04>> Uh, yes. I believe Mary died.
  3. 0:05>> Okay. You just ended the debate right
  4. 0:07there by saying Mary did die. Okay.
  5. 0:11Let me ask you, if Adam and Eve hadn't
  6. 0:13sinned, would they have died?
  7. 0:16Could they have died? Would they have
  8. 0:18died if they hadn't sinned?
  9. 0:21>> No, probably not. They wouldn't have
  10. 0:22died.
  11. 0:23We don't have it defined what the reason
  12. 0:26for that life that would endure in time
  13. 0:29is, but eh no no no.
  14. 0:31No, if there hadn't been sin, they
  15. 0:33wouldn't have died.
  16. 0:33>> They died as a consequence of what?
  17. 0:36>> Of sin.
  18. 0:37>> Good. Good.
  19. 0:39Let's see what Saint Augustine says in
  20. 0:41Augustine of Hippo, Book 13, Chapter 1
  21. 0:42of The City of God.
  22. 0:45Touching on this topic. Touching on this
  23. 0:46topic. But wait, wait, wait, wait.
  24. 0:48Hold on, Cristian Izquierdo, I want to
  25. 0:50cut you off for a second because this
  26. 0:51argument is Cristian's and I already
  27. 0:53know it. It's all good.
  28. 0:54>> It's not Cristian Izquierdo's.
  29. 0:55>> The only thing I ask is let's focus on
  30. 0:57the Bible.
  31. 0:59Let's speak Bible.
  32. 1:00>> But I am touching on the topic of the
  33. 1:02Bible. I am touching on a topic from the
  34. 1:03Bible.
  35. 1:03>> No, no, but here we have to discuss
  36. 1:05biblical passages. That is all I ask,
  37. 1:08that we stick to that.
  38. 1:09>> So you're not going to let me argue?
  39. 1:13>> No, I'm not going to let you use the
  40. 1:14Church Fathers because if you don't use
  41. 1:15the Church Fathers, I also use them. And
  42. 1:17if I use them too?
  43. 1:18>> Use them. I allow it.
  44. 1:20>> What's the difference? Do you know what
  45. 1:21the difference is? That if I use the
  46. 1:23Church Fathers, you are going to
  47. 1:24diminish the importance of my argument
  48. 1:26because I don't find it in the Bible or
  49. 1:28the Church Fathers.
  50. 1:29>> That you deserve.
  51. 1:30>> No, we have to focus on the Bible. I can
  52. 1:33debate biblically.
  53. 1:35>> But the Bible doesn't have
  54. 1:36interpretations. I recently had a
  55. 1:37conversation with a Catholic and there
  56. 1:39were certain things that, well, I didn't
  57. 1:41see them as very coherent, but I think
  58. 1:43it's better to get on with someone who
  59. 1:45knows more about these topics like you,
  60. 1:47to be able to talk well, right?
  61. 1:50>> Uh-huh.
  62. 1:53>> Well, speaking about the Immaculate
  63. 1:54Conception, I wanted to start with the
  64. 1:56question of whether you believe the
  65. 1:58apostles believed in the Immaculate
  66. 1:59Conception, taught the Immaculate
  67. 2:01Conception.
  68. 2:04>> Defined as such, I don't think so.
  69. 2:06>> In what way?
  70. 2:10>> Sure, because remember that the Catholic
  71. 2:12faith develops over time; so, regarding
  72. 2:15many things that Christians themselves,
  73. 2:17not even just Catholics, many things
  74. 2:19that Christians themselves ended up
  75. 2:22defining, the apostles taught them in a
  76. 2:24very, in a very embryonic state, so to
  77. 2:27speak.
  78. 2:28So, defined as such as the Catholic
  79. 2:30Church later defines it, I don't believe
  80. 2:33with that definition. Now, the principle
  81. 2:35they taught, yes, I have no doubt that
  82. 2:37they taught it that way.
  83. 2:39>> Okay. In what way would you say they
  84. 2:41taught it?
  85. 2:43What, what, what form?
  86. 2:45>> That Mary had no sin.
  87. 2:47>> Uh-huh, that she was, uh-huh, but in
  88. 2:49what way? Any text where the apostles
  89. 2:51said, uh, something like that?
  90. 2:54In what way?
  91. 2:55>> There are references, of course there
  92. 2:56are.
  93. 2:56>> Like which, for example?
  94. 2:57>> Indeed.
  95. 2:59And you know better than I do that I am
  96. 3:01going to cite Luke chapter 1.
  97. 3:04>> Okay.
  98. 3:06It talks about, it talks about the
  99. 3:08apostles believing and teaching the
  100. 3:09Immaculate Conception or the germ that
  101. 3:11you mentioned of the Immaculate
  102. 3:12Conception.
  103. 3:14>> Yes.
  104. 3:15>> Let's see, go ahead, I would like to
  105. 3:17hear you.
  106. 3:19>> Okay, you take the Gospel of Luke as a
  107. 3:22faithful representation of the apostolic
  108. 3:24Gospel, right?
  109. 3:25>> No problem.
  110. 3:27>> Perfect.
  111. 3:29So, in the Gospel of Luke chapter 1, we
  112. 3:32find the dialogue between the Virgin and
  113. 3:34the angel.
  114. 3:36>> Mhm.
  115. 3:37>> Uh, and there are certain statements
  116. 3:39there that would seem to indicate that
  117. 3:42what is preached about the Virgin is
  118. 3:44that the Virgin had no sin.
  119. 3:47Number 1, the Virgin is presented as in
  120. 3:50a state or in a, like a, like a
  121. 3:51presentation in a parallelism—I couldn't
  122. 3:53find the word—in a parallelism.
  123. 3:57The dialogue between the angel and the
  124. 4:00Virgin intends, in some way, to be a
  125. 4:03contrast to the episode in the Garden of
  126. 4:06Eden in Genesis chapter 3; unlike the
  127. 4:09virgin Eve, who is the one that
  128. 4:11dialogued with the fallen angel and
  129. 4:14because of this friendship with the
  130. 4:16fallen angel conceived sin, the virgin
  131. 4:19Mary dialogued with the angel of God,
  132. 4:22submitting herself to the will of God.
  133. 4:26This is the first contrast that,
  134. 4:28although, I reiterate, it does not
  135. 4:30define any dogma, it does indicate an
  136. 4:32idea that the apostles intended to
  137. 4:34communicate in an embryonic state.
  138. 4:36And number two, is the famous
  139. 4:38declaration, full of grace.
  140. 4:40>> Okay, good.
  141. 4:42Well, I would like to make the
  142. 4:44distinction, right, of sin and original
  143. 4:46sin, because I can, uh, defend or accept
  144. 4:48in some other way the impeccability of
  145. 4:50Mary and that does not presuppose the
  146. 4:52Immaculate Conception of Mary.
  147. 4:54So, by saying Mary was holy, Mary was
  148. 4:57full of grace, for example, it does not
  149. 4:59necessarily follow that she was
  150. 5:01immaculate from her conception.
  151. 5:04So, I don't believe that is a text as
  152. 5:07such where you could say, here we see
  153. 5:09the seed of the immaculate conception,
  154. 5:11because, let's see, we see in the Bible
  155. 5:14different biblical quotes that give that
  156. 5:16title exclusively and only to Jesus.
  157. 5:20In fact, I have several here: First
  158. 5:21Peter, Second Corinthians 5:21, First
  159. 5:23John 3: 5, which say the only one
  160. 5:25without sin, the sinless one was Jesus,
  161. 5:27Jesus, Jesus. We even have Augustine
  162. 5:29also saying that the only one without
  163. 5:30sin is Jesus. So, I don't see how with
  164. 5:33those biblical quotes, for example—you
  165. 5:35can read it real quick—Hebrews 4:15, "
  166. 5:37For we do not have a high priest who
  167. 5:39cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,
  168. 5:41but one who has been tempted in all
  169. 5:43things as we are, yet without sin."
  170. 5:45First Peter 2:22, "who committed no sin
  171. 5:47, nor was any deceit found in his mouth
  172. 5:48."
  173. 5:49>> Sorry. If you want, let's analyze
  174. 5:51passage by passage what you are reading
  175. 5:53so we aren't just throwing out biblical
  176. 5:54texts for no reason.
  177. 5:56Number one, the Hebrews passage you just
  178. 5:58brought up, what the author of Hebrews
  179. 6:00intends to communicate is the particular
  180. 6:03case of Jesus as priest, but that does
  181. 6:05not include Mary because women do not
  182. 6:07participate in the priesthood as the
  183. 6:09author of the book of Hebrews is
  184. 6:11presenting it.
  185. 6:13The author of the book of Hebrews is
  186. 6:14speaking about the priests and the high
  187. 6:16priest.
  188. 6:16So he is not trying to teach, I don't
  189. 6:19know, whether Mary had sin or not.
  190. 6:22He is talking about the particular
  191. 6:24distinction of Christ as high priest
  192. 6:25compared to the priests of the Aaronic
  193. 6:27order.
  194. 6:28That is point number one.
  195. 6:30>> I understand that. Tell me, tell me.
  196. 6:32>> And before you continue, I just want the
  197. 6:34following if you'll allow me, it's not
  198. 6:36that I'm going to defend a stance, I
  199. 6:37just want to understand what your
  200. 6:39position is.
  201. 6:41You said, "I can accept the sinlessness
  202. 6:44of Mary."
  203. 6:45Ah, what is your position on that?
  204. 6:48I understand that you believe Mary was
  205. 6:50conceived in sin or with sin, but could
  206. 6:52you accept that the Virgin Mary did not
  207. 6:54commit sin, did I understand correctly?
  208. 6:58>> Yes, I can accept—I can accept that Mary
  209. 7:02enjoyed a special grace, that she was
  210. 7:04set apart for the ministry of bringing
  211. 7:07God, right?
  212. 7:09Into the world. And and in that way I
  213. 7:12can say that Mary was holy and I hold
  214. 7:14her in high in high esteem to the point
  215. 7:16of saying that, well, I can't say Mary
  216. 7:18was a sinner and committed personal sins
  217. 7:20in her whole life. No, I wouldn't say
  218. 7:22that. I highly appreciate Mary in that
  219. 7:24respect, but I couldn't say Mary was
  220. 7:26immaculate from her conception.
  221. 7:27>> Okay.
  222. 7:29But but beyond what you could
  223. 7:32potentially accept, what is your
  224. 7:34position?
  225. 7:37The Virgin, I already understand that
  226. 7:38you you understand that the Virgin was
  227. 7:40conceived with sin,
  228. 7:42>> Uh-huh.
  229. 7:42>> but regarding her personal actions, what
  230. 7:45is your position? Did the Virgin commit
  231. 7:48sin or did she not commit it?
  232. 7:51>> I could personally say no.
  233. 7:53I could accept that, that she didn't.
  234. 7:54That is why I would accept, in a way,
  235. 7:56her sinlessness. Sinlessness, that she
  236. 7:59did not commit uh sin.
  237. 8:01>> So to be more precise, it's not that you
  238. 8:03could accept it, you do accept it.
  239. 8:05>> Yes, yes, I mean, I'm telling you as a,
  240. 8:07as not a dogma, obviously, but yes as a
  241. 8:09personal belief, no problem. No problem
  242. 8:12. And that's why I always say that. Now
  243. 8:14, if you let me interject a quick word
  244. 8:15there.
  245. 8:16>> No, no.
  246. 8:18It was just to clarify each person's
  247. 8:20position, because otherwise, sometimes
  248. 8:22the, the Catholic's position everyone
  249. 8:23knows, but the evangelical's position is
  250. 8:26like it's a bit harder to identify.
  251. 8:28So, for there to be a dialogue in this,
  252. 8:30I also need to know what your position
  253. 8:32is.
  254. 8:32>> Yes, I I always concede this because
  255. 8:34many times they steer the debate of the
  256. 8:36Immaculate Conception to the sinlessness
  257. 8:38and holiness of Mary, for example,
  258. 8:39saying, "Tell me one sin that Mary
  259. 8:41committed in the Bible, where did she
  260. 8:43commit a sin?" I say, fine, let's save
  261. 8:45ourselves all that talk, that
  262. 8:46conversation, I say, fine, Mary didn't
  263. 8:48commit sin, done, but that doesn't
  264. 8:49presuppose the Immaculate Conception of
  265. 8:51Mary.
  266. 8:53Now then, the texts I was going to give
  267. 8:54you were explicit explicit texts where
  268. 8:56they give the category of sinless only
  269. 8:58to Jesus.
  270. 9:00My question is, could you show me a text
  271. 9:02like that which gives that title to Mary
  272. 9:05? Not as high priest, we obviously know
  273. 9:07that, but that it says so, Mary without
  274. 9:08sin, Mary did not commit sin, Mary was
  275. 9:10born without sin, something like that,
  276. 9:12for example, as with Jesus. Already with
  277. 9:13Jesus.
  278. 9:14>> But I told you no.
  279. 9:15>> Okay, it's not there, perfect. That's
  280. 9:17what I wanted to hear. So, if I see an
  281. 9:19exception to the rule, since the rule,
  282. 9:21what is the general rule, Santiago?
  283. 9:24That everyone, the whole world,
  284. 9:25everything, everything is fallen,
  285. 9:27everything.
  286. 9:28And I know that is the general rule and
  287. 9:30>> we participate in original sin, we
  288. 9:32inherit it, that is the rule.
  289. 9:34>> Exactly.
  290. 9:36And since you and I know that every rule
  291. 9:38has an exception, I see the exception in
  292. 9:40the scripture in the New Testament,
  293. 9:42specifically only in Jesus, only that
  294. 9:44exception.
  295. 9:46My question is, is that exception in the
  296. 9:49scripture for Mary just as it is for
  297. 9:51Jesus?
  298. 9:53>> Yes, I believe so.
  299. 9:54>> Like where, for example?
  300. 9:56>> Alright.
  301. 9:58I will mention three little things
  302. 9:59trying to answer your...Oh, and I want
  303. 10:01to remind you, uh, you were going to...
  304. 10:03when I interrupted you, uh, I made a
  305. 10:05clarification regarding the Epistle to
  306. 10:07the Hebrews, you were going to continue
  307. 10:08with one of Peter's epistles. If you
  308. 10:10want to throw out all the passages and
  309. 10:12we can analyze them one by one, I have
  310. 10:13no problem.
  311. 10:13>> Fine, no problem.
  312. 10:16>> So then I still have to respond to the
  313. 10:17case of First or Second Peter, I don't
  314. 10:19remember which one it was.
  315. 10:21Uh, returning to this point, remember
  316. 10:23one thing, uh, because otherwise it's
  317. 10:25unfair.
  318. 10:26Uh, we Catholics are not sola scriptura
  319. 10:29.
  320. 10:30Therefore, the topic does not require
  321. 10:32the exactness, precision, definition, or
  322. 10:35clarity that it requires for an
  323. 10:37evangelical based on the Bible alone.
  324. 10:40The Catholic is not like that.
  325. 10:42So the Catholic is not going to tell you
  326. 10:44, hey, look, I have this topic super
  327. 10:46defined only through the Bible.
  328. 10:50No. Simply what the Catholic will tell
  329. 10:52you is, I have a reasonable
  330. 10:54justification for the dogma that we
  331. 10:56embrace.
  332. 10:58Why? Because we are not sola scriptura.
  333. 11:01We don't need to follow the same
  334. 11:02methodological path to know which truths
  335. 11:04of faith a Christian should embrace that
  336. 11:06an evangelical follows.
  337. 11:09The evangelical believes that only the
  338. 11:10Bible is infallible, the Catholic does
  339. 11:12not. Therefore, I do not need that kind
  340. 11:14of exactness, definition, or clarity
  341. 11:17that you demand based on the Bible alone
  342. 11:19. Is that okay?
  343. 11:21So as a Catholic, what I say is, is
  344. 11:23there a reasonable justification to
  345. 11:25believe that the Catholic faith is
  346. 11:27definitely in harmony with the Bible?
  347. 11:30Yes, of course there is. Now, getting to
  348. 11:33the point, getting to the, to the, to
  349. 11:34the Bible.
  350. 11:35Well, number one, uh, it seems to me
  351. 11:38that those two points I mentioned are
  352. 11:41key when addressing the question.
  353. 11:45Number one, because, uh, Mary receives
  354. 11:47as a title, unlike any other example
  355. 11:49throughout the length and breadth of the
  356. 11:51Bible, "full of grace."
  357. 11:54You accept that Mary is full of grace,
  358. 11:57just as the Bible says.
  359. 12:00Furthermore, you assume that the Virgin
  360. 12:01never committed a single sin.
  361. 12:05Therefore, my question is: well, then,
  362. 12:08what does "full of grace" mean?
  363. 12:11What does "full of grace" signify? Under
  364. 12:13the criteria that you already assume to
  365. 12:16be true.
  366. 12:18On the other hand, let us remember that
  367. 12:20in this parallelism presented by the
  368. 12:22apostles, the Virgin is presented as the
  369. 12:25friend of God, unlike the virgin Eve.
  370. 12:29Why? Because the virgin Eve enters into
  371. 12:32dialogue with the fallen angel;
  372. 12:33therefore, that shows a sort of enmity
  373. 12:36on the part of the virgin Eve due to the
  374. 12:38sin and the dialogue she has with the
  375. 12:40fallen angel, unlike the Virgin Mary.
  376. 12:43Uh, the Bible says, right? That whoever
  377. 12:45makes friends with the world is an enemy
  378. 12:47of God.
  379. 12:48The virgin Eve, upon falling into sin
  380. 12:50through the dialogue she enters into
  381. 12:52with the fallen angel, enters into
  382. 12:54enmity with God.
  383. 12:55That is precisely the reason for the
  384. 12:57judgment God issues when expelling them
  385. 12:59from the Garden of Eden.
  386. 13:01With the Virgin Mary, the opposite
  387. 13:03occurs.
  388. 13:05In her, it seems that the apostles
  389. 13:07intend to explain the fulfillment of
  390. 13:09that promise from Genesis chapter 3,
  391. 13:11verse 15.
  392. 13:14Waiting for that enmity to manifest and
  393. 13:17be fulfilled that should exist between
  394. 13:20the serpent, or the fallen angel, and
  395. 13:23the woman.
  396. 13:26Evidently, that enmity does not manifest
  397. 13:28with Eve, why?
  398. 13:30Because Eve became a friend of the
  399. 13:32serpent, or the fallen angel, by
  400. 13:34entering into dialogue with him and
  401. 13:36falling into sin.
  402. 13:39There must be a woman with whom the
  403. 13:42enemy truly has an enmity.
  404. 13:45And what is the fruit of the enmity
  405. 13:46between the woman and the enemy? It is
  406. 13:49having no relationship with sin.
  407. 13:52With whom is this prophecy fulfilled?
  408. 13:55Well, evidently the author of the book
  409. 13:57of Luke seems to assume that it is with
  410. 13:58the Virgin Mary.
  411. 14:01And if the Gospel of Luke faithfully
  412. 14:03represents the Gospel preached by the
  413. 14:05apostles, this means that, implicitly,
  414. 14:07the apostles taught that the Virgin Mary
  415. 14:09had not committed sin because she was a
  416. 14:11friend of God, unlike the virgin Eve.
  417. 14:15>> Okay. What can I say? Yes, right?
  418. 14:18>> There, I would have to strongly disagree
  419. 14:20with you, because I have even heard that
  420. 14:22argument from José Placencia regarding
  421. 14:24Genesis 3:15, the protoevangelium.
  422. 14:26Well, there we can even see that it
  423. 14:28speaks of the person of the Son, of
  424. 14:29Jesus.
  425. 14:31In fact, well, the Hebrew exegetes came
  426. 14:34to the conclusion that, when
  427. 14:35interpreting from the Septuagint, they
  428. 14:38didn't interpret it well and attributed
  429. 14:40it to Mary.
  430. 14:43In fact, we can see the Ineffabilis Deus
  431. 14:45where it says that the one who crushes
  432. 14:47the serpent's head is exclusively Mary,
  433. 14:48and then we see that no; John Paul II
  434. 14:50says it is not Mary, but her lineage,
  435. 14:52that is, Christ.
  436. 14:54So, there are many contradictions, but
  437. 14:56on the point about Genesis 3:15,
  438. 14:58Santiago, I would like to emphasize
  439. 15:00something there and ask you something so
  440. 15:02that it is clear to me. Do you believe
  441. 15:04that Mary died?
  442. 15:07>> Uh, yes. I believe Mary died.
  443. 15:09>> Okay, good.
  444. 15:11Saint Augustine makes a representation
  445. 15:13about that. In fact, I'm going to quote
  446. 15:15it to you here quickly. Let's see.
  447. 15:17Let's see, here it is.
  448. 15:18>> But, but, but, but, let's take this step
  449. 15:20by step, what do you think?
  450. 15:21You said something about Genesis 3:15.
  451. 15:24Let's return to Genesis 3:15, does that
  452. 15:25seem okay to you?
  453. 15:26>> Go ahead if you want.
  454. 15:28>> Good, very good. Let's go to Genesis
  455. 15:303:15, which I think is important for our
  456. 15:32dialogue.
  457. 15:34Um, it says the following.
  458. 15:37And I will put enmity between you and
  459. 15:40the woman, and between your seed and her
  460. 15:42seed.
  461. 15:43He will crush your head, and you will
  462. 15:45strike his heel.
  463. 15:46You said something that is not entirely
  464. 15:48accurate.
  465. 15:49>> Mhm.
  466. 15:51>> You appealed to—in mentioning this
  467. 15:53passage, you appealed to a supposed
  468. 15:54confusion that exists regarding whether
  469. 15:56it was the Virgin Mary or if it was
  470. 15:58Jesus because of a translation issue,
  471. 16:00this and that. I know that such a
  472. 16:02controversy existed, but that is not my
  473. 16:04argument. You are fighting a straw man.
  474. 16:07Why?
  475. 16:08Because the confusion existed regarding
  476. 16:10the seed, which is the one who crushes
  477. 16:12the head.
  478. 16:14Who crushes the head? It is Christ, it
  479. 16:16is the seed of the woman. But notice
  480. 16:18that my argument did not go in that
  481. 16:20direction. My argument was about the
  482. 16:22enmity. My question is the following.
  483. 16:23You surely have a Bible open in front of
  484. 16:25you.
  485. 16:26>> Yes, I have it here.
  486. 16:28>> With whom, with whom is Satan to have
  487. 16:30enmity according to Genesis chapter 3
  488. 16:33verse 15?
  489. 16:34>> According to Genesis, as it says there,
  490. 16:35with the woman.
  491. 16:37>> Good. The woman is not Christ.
  492. 16:39>> No, no, no.
  493. 16:41>> Who is the woman?
  494. 16:43>> In Genesis 3:15, Eve.
  495. 16:46The woman of Genesis 3:15.
  496. 16:48>> But we are talking typologically,
  497. 16:50because if I tell you the woman is not
  498. 16:52Christ—
  499. 16:53>> Yes, it could be Mary without a problem
  500. 16:54.
  501. 16:55>> Okay. So, let's recap up to this point.
  502. 16:58You believe, you assume, you profess
  503. 17:01that the Virgin Mary did not commit
  504. 17:03personal sin.
  505. 17:03>> Mhm.
  506. 17:05>> But furthermore, you believe that the
  507. 17:08woman who has enmity and is prophesied
  508. 17:11in Genesis chapter 3 verse 15 is also
  509. 17:14Mary.
  510. 17:15>> Mhm.
  511. 17:17>> Okay, good. Eh, so it seems to me that
  512. 17:20the doors are closing for you to defend
  513. 17:21your position.
  514. 17:22>> I'll tell you why. I can tell you why.
  515. 17:24Right, because you just shut down the
  516. 17:26debate here by saying that Mary did
  517. 17:28indeed die. Okay, let me ask you.
  518. 17:31If Eve, if, if, if Adam and Eve hadn't
  519. 17:33sinned, would they have died?
  520. 17:35Could they have died? Did they know they
  521. 17:37were going to die if they hadn't sinned
  522. 17:38?
  523. 17:40>> No, probably not, they wouldn't have
  524. 17:41died. We don't have defined what the
  525. 17:44reason is for that life that would
  526. 17:47endure through time, but eh no, no, no.
  527. 17:51No, if there hadn't been sin, no, they
  528. 17:52wouldn't have died.
  529. 17:53>> They died as a consequence of what?
  530. 17:55>> Sin.
  531. 17:56>> Good, good.
  532. 17:57Let's see what Saint Augustine says. In
  533. 17:59Augustine of Hippo, book 13, chapter 1,
  534. 18:02City of God. Touching on that topic.
  535. 18:05Touching on the topic.
  536. 18:06>> But wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
  537. 18:07Moment, Cristian Izquierdo, I want to
  538. 18:09cut you off for a second because this,
  539. 18:10this argument is from Cristian and I
  540. 18:12already know it. It's all good.
  541. 18:13>> No, it's from Cristian Izquierdo.
  542. 18:14>> The only thing, the only thing I ask is
  543. 18:16that we focus on the Bible.
  544. 18:18Let's talk Bible.
  545. 18:19>> But I am touching on the topic of the
  546. 18:21>> Bible, I am touching on a topic from the
  547. 18:22Bible.
  548. 18:22>> No, no, no, no. But here we must discuss
  549. 18:25biblical passages. That's the only thing
  550. 18:27I ask that we stick to.
  551. 18:28>> So you're not going to, you're not going
  552. 18:30to let me argue?
  553. 18:32>> No, I'm not going to let you use the
  554. 18:33Church Fathers, because if you don't use
  555. 18:34the Church Fathers, I also use them. If
  556. 18:36I also use them, no.
  557. 18:38But do you know what the difference is?
  558. 18:40Do you know what the difference is? It's
  559. 18:41that if I use the Church Fathers, you're
  560. 18:43going to dismiss my argument because I
  561. 18:45won't find it in the Bible, I'll find it
  562. 18:47in the Church Fathers.
  563. 18:48No, no, no, no, no. We have to focus on
  564. 18:50the Bible. I debate Protestants
  565. 18:53biblically.
  566. 18:54>> But doesn't the Bible have
  567. 18:55interpretations?
  568. 18:55>> Look, look. If I want to, if I want to.
  569. 18:59That is why I am asking you, please,
  570. 19:01look, I am asking you, please, to limit
  571. 19:03yourself to the framework within which
  572. 19:05you agreed to discuss this topic.
  573. 19:07It is biblical.
  574. 19:08>> Did she die?
  575. 19:08>> Let's speak only within that framework.
  576. 19:11>> As a consequence of what did Mary die?
  577. 19:12Go ahead, fine, fine, fine, fine.
  578. 19:13>> I reiterate why, I reiterate why.
  579. 19:17Because on any topic where I cite the
  580. 19:19Church Fathers, you are "sola scriptura
  581. 19:20" and you will profess that the only
  582. 19:22infallible authority is the Bible,
  583. 19:24therefore, there will be a point where,
  584. 19:26when I cite the Church Fathers, you will
  585. 19:28say that you honestly don't care what
  586. 19:29the Church Fathers say because you need
  587. 19:31to justify it with the Bible.
  588. 19:34>> You will care little when they go
  589. 19:35against you, Santiago.
  590. 19:37>> No, no, no, no, no, because the Church
  591. 19:39Fathers are precisely fathers of the
  592. 19:40Catholic Church, so in that sense, I am
  593. 19:42very calm.
  594. 19:43>> It would be in your best interest to
  595. 19:44read Saint Augustine.
  596. 19:44>> Relax, rest assured that I am very calm
  597. 19:47regarding the Church Fathers. Now, what
  598. 19:49I do ask of you, as an evangelical, is
  599. 19:51that you argue with the Bible and I will
  600. 19:53respond with the Bible. Does that sound
  601. 19:54good to you?
  602. 19:55>> Fine. Fine, except you said that was the
  603. 19:57agreement I made; I never reached that
  604. 19:58agreement, you never asked me if I could
  605. 19:59come on and only argue from the Bible.
  606. 20:01>> You asked me to—no, wait, wait—you asked
  607. 20:02me to join, and it says "Biblical
  608. 20:04Debates" in very large letters here.
  609. 20:05>> Obviously, clearly. So, do you only use
  610. 20:07the Bible here? Do you only use the
  611. 20:08Bible?
  612. 20:09>> Yes.
  613. 20:09>> Only the Bible? Okay, why did Mary die?
  614. 20:11>> Yes. Because I talk to Protestants.
  615. 20:14>> So, so look, but Santiago, Santiago,
  616. 20:15Santiago, a while ago you said, "Oh,
  617. 20:17it's just that we can't find it only in
  618. 20:19the Bible because, well, I'm not 'sola
  619. 20:20scriptura'."
  620. 20:22>> I didn't say that.
  621. 20:23>> You said, you said, "It's that I'm not '
  622. 20:25sola scriptura', my approach won't be
  623. 20:27..."
  624. 20:27>> No, no, no, no, no. I did not say, "No,
  625. 20:29we can't find it only in the Bible." At
  626. 20:32no point did that phrase come out of my
  627. 20:34mouth. I didn't say that at any moment.
  628. 20:35>> Since you are, since we are only going
  629. 20:37to talk about the Bible here, prove the
  630. 20:39Immaculate Conception to me exclusively
  631. 20:40in the Bible. Go ahead, Immaculate
  632. 20:42Conception, that Mary was conceived
  633. 20:44without original sin. Go ahead, let's
  634. 20:46see if you can.
  635. 20:47You won't be able to; you have to resort
  636. 20:49to what your church says.
  637. 20:50Now tell me, let's skip that Santiago,
  638. 20:53let's skip that. Tell me, why did Mary
  639. 20:55die?
  640. 20:55Why did Mary die?
  641. 20:57>> Look, stop, let me explain the previous
  642. 20:58point because otherwise it's like we
  643. 21:00keep jumping from one point to another
  644. 21:01and we never finish concluding a topic.
  645. 21:03Look, I I will explain the following to
  646. 21:04you. This is a space for biblical
  647. 21:06debates. Here the only thing we do is
  648. 21:08debate with the Bible, why? Because
  649. 21:10evangelicals are Bible only. Ultimately
  650. 21:12, they are Bible only. So, since I am
  651. 21:14inviting evangelicals to debate, we
  652. 21:16debate with the Bible.
  653. 21:18Now, what is the case for the Catholic
  654. 21:21Church? The Catholic Church does not
  655. 21:23pretend to justify or construct a
  656. 21:25theological argument and therefore,
  657. 21:28consequently, a dogma using only the
  658. 21:30Bible. We are also tradition and
  659. 21:32magisterium.
  660. 21:33That is why my position is that I can
  661. 21:36justify biblically every one of the
  662. 21:39beliefs that the Catholic faith
  663. 21:42professes. I can justify it.
  664. 21:44Now, I never said that I can build a
  665. 21:47case definitively because Catholics do
  666. 21:49not believe in*sola scriptura*or that*
  667. 21:52sola scriptura*is a correct doctrine.
  668. 21:55We do not define things based entirely
  669. 21:58and solely on the Bible. That is my
  670. 22:01point. Having said that, I argue the
  671. 22:03case of the Virgin Mary to you based on
  672. 22:06the Bible just as I just did.
  673. 22:08I just did it.
  674. 22:10The enmity between the fallen angel,
  675. 22:12Satan, and the Virgin Mary, which you
  676. 22:14assume means the woman in Genesis
  677. 22:16chapter 3 verse 15 is the Virgin Mary
  678. 22:18and that, furthermore, she did not
  679. 22:20commit sin.
  680. 22:22You have to answer that for me. I told
  681. 22:24you here you are closing a lot of doors
  682. 22:26for your case. Well, that's fine.
  683. 22:28Answer me how you harmonize, under your
  684. 22:31Protestant worldview, that the Virgin
  685. 22:33Mary not only did not commit sin, but is
  686. 22:36also the woman prophesied in Genesis
  687. 22:38chapter 3 verse 15.
  688. 22:40>> Right. Right. Why? Because, look, that
  689. 22:43does not mean that Mary was immaculate
  690. 22:45from her conception. That that that
  691. 22:47argument you give me, that conclusion
  692. 22:49comes from what? From an interpretation
  693. 22:52. That interpretation is not in the
  694. 22:54Bible. So, if we are going to go
  695. 22:56exclusively to what the Bible says, as
  696. 22:58you say it is biblical, you cannot bring
  697. 22:59your interpretation here, because I was
  698. 23:01trying to give you an interpretation
  699. 23:03from Saint Augustine on that quote and
  700. 23:05you didn't want to accept it.
  701. 23:07In any case, I cannot accept your
  702. 23:09interpretation, because if that
  703. 23:11exclusively and specifically means the
  704. 23:13Immaculate Conception in Genesis 3:15,
  705. 23:15that is your interpretation which, well
  706. 23:17, you have to try to prove to me, but
  707. 23:19only with an interpretation.
  708. 23:22Now, my question is simple, Santiago.
  709. 23:24>> No, no, wait, wait, wait. Let's focus on
  710. 23:26that point. I think it's fine that you
  711. 23:27pass the burden of proof to me, mind you
  712. 23:29.
  713. 23:29I accept the burden of proof. I accept
  714. 23:31it. I accept it, I accept it, I accept
  715. 23:32it.
  716. 23:33Ah, I ask, I ask the following.
  717. 23:37Does a person begin to be a child of God
  718. 23:39because they are not born as a child of
  719. 23:41God, according to your worldview as a
  720. 23:42Presbyterian, right?
  721. 23:44>> Mhm. Yes. What does that have to do with
  722. 23:46it?
  723. 23:48>> No, no.
  724. 23:49I'm just asking you because, I reiterate
  725. 23:51, I am trying to figure out what you
  726. 23:52believe, because you can know what I
  727. 23:54believe because
  728. 23:55>> that is not the topic, Santiago. That is
  729. 23:57not the topic. That is not the topic.
  730. 23:59>> Yes, you will see, you will see what the
  731. 24:00topic is. I promise you, I promise you
  732. 24:01that you will see it is the topic.
  733. 24:03>> Why did Mary die. It's just that I want
  734. 24:05to know.
  735. 24:05>> I promise you, but I promise you. I
  736. 24:07promise you it will be the topic. Rest
  737. 24:08assured. I simply want you to realize by
  738. 24:11your own means and by reasoning for
  739. 24:12yourself that you are falling into a
  740. 24:14contradiction. I'll show you very
  741. 24:15quickly.
  742. 24:16>> Just prove the Immaculate Conception to
  743. 24:17me.
  744. 24:19>> When a person is born, when they are
  745. 24:20born?
  746. 24:21Are they born a friend of God or an
  747. 24:23enemy of God?
  748. 24:25>> They are born with original sin, an
  749. 24:27enemy of God.
  750. 24:30>> Okay. If they are an enemy of God, are
  751. 24:33they an enemy of the world and the devil
  752. 24:35, right?
  753. 24:36>> Like the whole human race that is born,
  754. 24:37yes, separated from God.
  755. 24:38>> Perfect.
  756. 24:40If the Virgin Mary is the woman
  757. 24:42prophesied in Genesis chapter 3 verse 15
  758. 24:45, how can the Lord say that this woman
  759. 24:47is an enemy of the devil?
  760. 24:51If, according to you, she was born with
  761. 24:52original sin, wait, if according to you
  762. 24:54she was born with original sin, and by
  763. 24:56being born with original sin she is born
  764. 24:58an enemy of God.
  765. 25:01>> Where does it say there that she was
  766. 25:03born, that the woman was born hostile?
  767. 25:05Where does it say that?
  768. 25:05>> No, it doesn't say it, it doesn't say it
  769. 25:06, it doesn't say she was born that way.
  770. 25:08>> Exactly, so good, good.
  771. 25:09>> At what moment, at what moment does she
  772. 25:11go from being an enemy to being a friend
  773. 25:12of God?
  774. 25:13>> Here it comes, here it comes, exactly.
  775. 25:15If it doesn't say that, then if you
  776. 25:16claim you come with the burden of proof
  777. 25:18and you cannot prove that she was a
  778. 25:19friend of God from her conception, you
  779. 25:21aren't proving anything anymore; now you
  780. 25:22are shifting the burden of proof to me.
  781. 25:25No, prove to me that it talks about "
  782. 25:26exclusively" there.
  783. 25:29>> Fine, then if my interpretation isn't
  784. 25:30the correct one, if my interpretation
  785. 25:32isn't the correct one, tell me the
  786. 25:33following: at what moment did the Virgin
  787. 25:35Mary—because you told me the Virgin Mary
  788. 25:37didn't fall into sin—You told me the
  789. 25:38Virgin Mary didn't fall into sin, that
  790. 25:40she is impeccable, that she didn't
  791. 25:42commit sin.
  792. 25:44So, if the Virgin Mary is born with
  793. 25:45original sin and, according to your own
  794. 25:47words, the Virgin Mary is born at enmity
  795. 25:49with God but never commits sin, at what
  796. 25:51moment does the Virgin Mary—no, wait,
  797. 25:52wait, wait—at what moment does the
  798. 25:54Virgin Mary go from being an enemy of
  799. 25:56God to a friend of God?
  800. 25:57At what moment?
  801. 25:58>> I’m just saying it's not from her
  802. 26:00conception, because you can't prove that
  803. 26:01.
  804. 26:02You can't prove it.
  805. 26:03>> At what moment, explain to me at what
  806. 26:04moment.
  807. 26:04>> Not from her conception. Prove to me
  808. 26:06that it was from her conception. Look,
  809. 26:07look, it could be, listen closely,
  810. 26:09listen closely, listen closely, no, no,
  811. 26:11no.
  812. 26:11>> A surprise, you never expected this
  813. 26:13argument, you never expected me to go in
  814. 26:15this direction.
  815. 26:17And your own words condemned you, it was
  816. 26:19your own words that condemned you, you
  817. 26:22know why?
  818. 26:23Because you came looking for a clip, and
  819. 26:25you aren't the one taking the clip, I am
  820. 26:27.
  821. 26:27>> I’ll take it all, if you give me the
  822. 26:28chance I can upload the whole thing.
  823. 26:30If I can, if I can upload it, I’ll
  824. 26:32upload the whole thing, I have no
  825. 26:33problem. No, no, no. No.
  826. 26:35>> At what moment does the Virgin Mary go
  827. 26:37from being an enemy of God to a friend
  828. 26:39of God?
  829. 26:40At what moment?
  830. 26:41>> At any moment in her life except for her
  831. 26:43conception, no problem, except for her
  832. 26:44conception.
  833. 26:46>> At what moment? At what moment?
  834. 26:48>> No, look, the burden of proof is yours,
  835. 26:50that it has to be from her conception.
  836. 26:51You prove it to me.
  837. 26:53You said that.
  838. 26:53>> No, you were expecting this argument.
  839. 26:55You weren't expecting it, and I did it
  840. 26:57using only the Bible, I did it using
  841. 26:58only the Bible.
  842. 26:59Only with the Bible, only with the Bible
  843. 27:02. You know what's happening? Right now
  844. 27:04you want to kill yourself because you
  845. 27:06don't know what to say.
  846. 27:08So, at what moment did the Virgin Mary,
  847. 27:10at what moment did the Virgin Mary go
  848. 27:13from being an enemy of God to being a
  849. 27:15friend of God?
  850. 27:16At what moment?
  851. 27:17>> I'm going to tell you the moment. Since
  852. 27:19she said yes to God.
  853. 27:21I'll give you a moment, since, since she
  854. 27:23found grace, since she found grace
  855. 27:24before the eyes of God. Like that.
  856. 27:27Since she found grace, since she found
  857. 27:28grace.
  858. 27:29>> it goes against the Bible. But that goes
  859. 27:31against the Bible.
  860. 27:32>> since she found grace before the eyes of
  861. 27:34God. There.
  862. 27:35Since she found grace.
  863. 27:36>> from the moment she says yes. If the
  864. 27:39angel greets her. Ah, well, are you
  865. 27:41retracting your statement? Wait, wait,
  866. 27:42are you retracting?
  867. 27:43>> Yes, since she found grace. If I retract
  868. 27:45the first one, I'll tell you since she
  869. 27:46found grace.
  870. 27:46>> Okay, okay, okay. At what moment did she
  871. 27:48find grace?
  872. 27:49At what moment did she find grace? At
  873. 27:51what moment did she find grace?
  874. 27:52>> Look, you have to prove to me that it
  875. 27:54was from her conception.
  876. 27:55From before No, no, no, from before. No
  877. 27:57, no, no, no.
  878. 27:58>> according to your own worldview it makes
  879. 28:00no sense at all, and what you are trying
  880. 28:02to do now, retracting in real time, is
  881. 28:04trying to look good publicly because
  882. 28:06clearly your position is incoherent and
  883. 28:08incompatible with the Bible.
  884. 28:11Look, if you tell me that at some point
  885. 28:13she found grace, the question is at what
  886. 28:15moment, because what you said is the
  887. 28:17following, and you have to explain your
  888. 28:19worldview coherently.
  889. 28:21You say that the Virgin Mary is born
  890. 28:23with original sin, that she is born an
  891. 28:25enemy of God, but that at the same time
  892. 28:26, being an enemy of God, she never
  893. 28:28committed sin.
  894. 28:30Can you explain to me how someone who is
  895. 28:32born an enemy of God never committed sin
  896. 28:34if they are an enemy of God?
  897. 28:36>> Well, she was preserved to be able to
  898. 28:38fulfill God's plan for the world.
  899. 28:40Without a doubt.
  900. 28:41>> preserved as an enemy of God?
  901. 28:42>> Yes, she was preserved.
  902. 28:43>> She was preserved as an enemy of God.
  903. 28:45>> Let's see, Abraham was always a friend
  904. 28:46of God. No, no, no.
  905. 28:47Let's see, Abraham was always a friend
  906. 28:48of God.
  907. 28:49>> Come on, brother. Come on.
  908. 28:51>> Abraham was always No, Abraham was
  909. 28:52always a friend of God.
  910. 28:53>> with all due respect.
  911. 28:55At this moment, you are trying to change
  912. 28:57course because you don't know what to
  913. 28:58say.
  914. 28:59You know what happens?
  915. 29:00>> I am giving you an example.
  916. 29:02>> At this moment, you are demonstrating
  917. 29:04the incoherence of the Protestant
  918. 29:06worldview, which tries to adjust
  919. 29:07according to the circumstances because
  920. 29:09your position is incoherent.
  921. 29:12You never you never saw it coming that
  922. 29:15by having said that the Virgin Mary did
  923. 29:17not commit sin and having said at the
  924. 29:20same time that the Virgin Mary is the
  925. 29:22enemy of of of Satan, prophesied in
  926. 29:24Genesis chapter 3 verse 15, your own
  927. 29:27words automatically bring down your
  928. 29:29whole idea.
  929. 29:30>> The the words from my mouth lead to the
  930. 29:32conclusion that Mary was immaculate in
  931. 29:33her conception.
  932. 29:34>> No, brother.
  933. 29:35>> No, but but let's see, let's see.
  934. 29:38>> You came looking for a clip and it went
  935. 29:39wrong for you. I send you a big hug,
  936. 29:41buddy.
  937. 29:42May God bless you. See you later.
  938. 29:44>> Wait, I'm just saying goodbye. I'm just
  939. 29:46saying goodbye.
  940. 29:47I'm just saying goodbye if you want.
  941. 29:48And I thank you. I thank you for letting
  942. 29:50me come on. Uh, I think you didn't let
  943. 29:52me argue everything I brought because I
  944. 29:54had more arguments. You told me no, I
  945. 29:56respect that, it's your space. Uh,
  946. 29:57anyway, I thank you. If I disrespected
  947. 30:00you or disrespected your channel here, I
  948. 30:02apologize enormously. It it wasn't my
  949. 30:03intention. Things got heated, I don't
  950. 30:05know, but I don't know if I if you're
  951. 30:06going to upload this to YouTube, if you
  952. 30:08would let me upload it after you upload
  953. 30:09it.
  954. 30:09>> Obviously, of course I'll let you, you
  955. 30:11bet. I'm not like Edgar Pacheco who goes
  956. 30:12around reporting channels. Upload it and
  957. 30:14react to it and I I don't have any
  958. 30:16problem.
  959. 30:16>> mentions of Pacheco, nothing. Like
  960. 30:18you're trolling Pacheco.
  961. 30:19>> No, how am I going to How am I going to
  962. 30:21Sure, how am I going to disrespect your
  963. 30:23daddy?
  964. 30:24>> But but why do you mention him so much?
  965. 30:26Why do you mention him so much?
  966. 30:27>> I make you angry, brother. Because I
  967. 30:28make you angry. Because I make you angry
  968. 30:30.
  969. 30:30>> I'm very calm, you understand?
  970. 30:31>> I send you a big hug, man. May God bless
  971. 30:33you.
  972. 30:34>> a lot.
