Full transcript
- 0:00Do you believe Mary died?
- 0:04>> Uh, yes. I believe Mary died.
- 0:05>> Okay. You just ended the debate right
- 0:07there by saying Mary did die. Okay.
- 0:11Let me ask you, if Adam and Eve hadn't
- 0:13sinned, would they have died?
- 0:16Could they have died? Would they have
- 0:18died if they hadn't sinned?
- 0:21>> No, probably not. They wouldn't have
- 0:22died.
- 0:23We don't have it defined what the reason
- 0:26for that life that would endure in time
- 0:29is, but eh no no no.
- 0:31No, if there hadn't been sin, they
- 0:33wouldn't have died.
- 0:33>> They died as a consequence of what?
- 0:36>> Of sin.
- 0:37>> Good. Good.
- 0:39Let's see what Saint Augustine says in
- 0:41Augustine of Hippo, Book 13, Chapter 1
- 0:42of The City of God.
- 0:45Touching on this topic. Touching on this
- 0:46topic. But wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 0:48Hold on, Cristian Izquierdo, I want to
- 0:50cut you off for a second because this
- 0:51argument is Cristian's and I already
- 0:53know it. It's all good.
- 0:54>> It's not Cristian Izquierdo's.
- 0:55>> The only thing I ask is let's focus on
- 0:57the Bible.
- 0:59Let's speak Bible.
- 1:00>> But I am touching on the topic of the
- 1:02Bible. I am touching on a topic from the
- 1:03Bible.
- 1:03>> No, no, but here we have to discuss
- 1:05biblical passages. That is all I ask,
- 1:08that we stick to that.
- 1:09>> So you're not going to let me argue?
- 1:13>> No, I'm not going to let you use the
- 1:14Church Fathers because if you don't use
- 1:15the Church Fathers, I also use them. And
- 1:17if I use them too?
- 1:18>> Use them. I allow it.
- 1:20>> What's the difference? Do you know what
- 1:21the difference is? That if I use the
- 1:23Church Fathers, you are going to
- 1:24diminish the importance of my argument
- 1:26because I don't find it in the Bible or
- 1:28the Church Fathers.
- 1:29>> That you deserve.
- 1:30>> No, we have to focus on the Bible. I can
- 1:33debate biblically.
- 1:35>> But the Bible doesn't have
- 1:36interpretations. I recently had a
- 1:37conversation with a Catholic and there
- 1:39were certain things that, well, I didn't
- 1:41see them as very coherent, but I think
- 1:43it's better to get on with someone who
- 1:45knows more about these topics like you,
- 1:47to be able to talk well, right?
- 1:50>> Uh-huh.
- 1:53>> Well, speaking about the Immaculate
- 1:54Conception, I wanted to start with the
- 1:56question of whether you believe the
- 1:58apostles believed in the Immaculate
- 1:59Conception, taught the Immaculate
- 2:01Conception.
- 2:04>> Defined as such, I don't think so.
- 2:06>> In what way?
- 2:10>> Sure, because remember that the Catholic
- 2:12faith develops over time; so, regarding
- 2:15many things that Christians themselves,
- 2:17not even just Catholics, many things
- 2:19that Christians themselves ended up
- 2:22defining, the apostles taught them in a
- 2:24very, in a very embryonic state, so to
- 2:27speak.
- 2:28So, defined as such as the Catholic
- 2:30Church later defines it, I don't believe
- 2:33with that definition. Now, the principle
- 2:35they taught, yes, I have no doubt that
- 2:37they taught it that way.
- 2:39>> Okay. In what way would you say they
- 2:41taught it?
- 2:43What, what, what form?
- 2:45>> That Mary had no sin.
- 2:47>> Uh-huh, that she was, uh-huh, but in
- 2:49what way? Any text where the apostles
- 2:51said, uh, something like that?
- 2:54In what way?
- 2:55>> There are references, of course there
- 2:56are.
- 2:56>> Like which, for example?
- 2:57>> Indeed.
- 2:59And you know better than I do that I am
- 3:01going to cite Luke chapter 1.
- 3:04>> Okay.
- 3:06It talks about, it talks about the
- 3:08apostles believing and teaching the
- 3:09Immaculate Conception or the germ that
- 3:11you mentioned of the Immaculate
- 3:12Conception.
- 3:14>> Yes.
- 3:15>> Let's see, go ahead, I would like to
- 3:17hear you.
- 3:19>> Okay, you take the Gospel of Luke as a
- 3:22faithful representation of the apostolic
- 3:24Gospel, right?
- 3:25>> No problem.
- 3:27>> Perfect.
- 3:29So, in the Gospel of Luke chapter 1, we
- 3:32find the dialogue between the Virgin and
- 3:34the angel.
- 3:36>> Mhm.
- 3:37>> Uh, and there are certain statements
- 3:39there that would seem to indicate that
- 3:42what is preached about the Virgin is
- 3:44that the Virgin had no sin.
- 3:47Number 1, the Virgin is presented as in
- 3:50a state or in a, like a, like a
- 3:51presentation in a parallelism—I couldn't
- 3:53find the word—in a parallelism.
- 3:57The dialogue between the angel and the
- 4:00Virgin intends, in some way, to be a
- 4:03contrast to the episode in the Garden of
- 4:06Eden in Genesis chapter 3; unlike the
- 4:09virgin Eve, who is the one that
- 4:11dialogued with the fallen angel and
- 4:14because of this friendship with the
- 4:16fallen angel conceived sin, the virgin
- 4:19Mary dialogued with the angel of God,
- 4:22submitting herself to the will of God.
- 4:26This is the first contrast that,
- 4:28although, I reiterate, it does not
- 4:30define any dogma, it does indicate an
- 4:32idea that the apostles intended to
- 4:34communicate in an embryonic state.
- 4:36And number two, is the famous
- 4:38declaration, full of grace.
- 4:40>> Okay, good.
- 4:42Well, I would like to make the
- 4:44distinction, right, of sin and original
- 4:46sin, because I can, uh, defend or accept
- 4:48in some other way the impeccability of
- 4:50Mary and that does not presuppose the
- 4:52Immaculate Conception of Mary.
- 4:54So, by saying Mary was holy, Mary was
- 4:57full of grace, for example, it does not
- 4:59necessarily follow that she was
- 5:01immaculate from her conception.
- 5:04So, I don't believe that is a text as
- 5:07such where you could say, here we see
- 5:09the seed of the immaculate conception,
- 5:11because, let's see, we see in the Bible
- 5:14different biblical quotes that give that
- 5:16title exclusively and only to Jesus.
- 5:20In fact, I have several here: First
- 5:21Peter, Second Corinthians 5:21, First
- 5:23John 3: 5, which say the only one
- 5:25without sin, the sinless one was Jesus,
- 5:27Jesus, Jesus. We even have Augustine
- 5:29also saying that the only one without
- 5:30sin is Jesus. So, I don't see how with
- 5:33those biblical quotes, for example—you
- 5:35can read it real quick—Hebrews 4:15, "
- 5:37For we do not have a high priest who
- 5:39cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,
- 5:41but one who has been tempted in all
- 5:43things as we are, yet without sin."
- 5:45First Peter 2:22, "who committed no sin
- 5:47, nor was any deceit found in his mouth
- 5:48."
- 5:49>> Sorry. If you want, let's analyze
- 5:51passage by passage what you are reading
- 5:53so we aren't just throwing out biblical
- 5:54texts for no reason.
- 5:56Number one, the Hebrews passage you just
- 5:58brought up, what the author of Hebrews
- 6:00intends to communicate is the particular
- 6:03case of Jesus as priest, but that does
- 6:05not include Mary because women do not
- 6:07participate in the priesthood as the
- 6:09author of the book of Hebrews is
- 6:11presenting it.
- 6:13The author of the book of Hebrews is
- 6:14speaking about the priests and the high
- 6:16priest.
- 6:16So he is not trying to teach, I don't
- 6:19know, whether Mary had sin or not.
- 6:22He is talking about the particular
- 6:24distinction of Christ as high priest
- 6:25compared to the priests of the Aaronic
- 6:27order.
- 6:28That is point number one.
- 6:30>> I understand that. Tell me, tell me.
- 6:32>> And before you continue, I just want the
- 6:34following if you'll allow me, it's not
- 6:36that I'm going to defend a stance, I
- 6:37just want to understand what your
- 6:39position is.
- 6:41You said, "I can accept the sinlessness
- 6:44of Mary."
- 6:45Ah, what is your position on that?
- 6:48I understand that you believe Mary was
- 6:50conceived in sin or with sin, but could
- 6:52you accept that the Virgin Mary did not
- 6:54commit sin, did I understand correctly?
- 6:58>> Yes, I can accept—I can accept that Mary
- 7:02enjoyed a special grace, that she was
- 7:04set apart for the ministry of bringing
- 7:07God, right?
- 7:09Into the world. And and in that way I
- 7:12can say that Mary was holy and I hold
- 7:14her in high in high esteem to the point
- 7:16of saying that, well, I can't say Mary
- 7:18was a sinner and committed personal sins
- 7:20in her whole life. No, I wouldn't say
- 7:22that. I highly appreciate Mary in that
- 7:24respect, but I couldn't say Mary was
- 7:26immaculate from her conception.
- 7:27>> Okay.
- 7:29But but beyond what you could
- 7:32potentially accept, what is your
- 7:34position?
- 7:37The Virgin, I already understand that
- 7:38you you understand that the Virgin was
- 7:40conceived with sin,
- 7:42>> Uh-huh.
- 7:42>> but regarding her personal actions, what
- 7:45is your position? Did the Virgin commit
- 7:48sin or did she not commit it?
- 7:51>> I could personally say no.
- 7:53I could accept that, that she didn't.
- 7:54That is why I would accept, in a way,
- 7:56her sinlessness. Sinlessness, that she
- 7:59did not commit uh sin.
- 8:01>> So to be more precise, it's not that you
- 8:03could accept it, you do accept it.
- 8:05>> Yes, yes, I mean, I'm telling you as a,
- 8:07as not a dogma, obviously, but yes as a
- 8:09personal belief, no problem. No problem
- 8:12. And that's why I always say that. Now
- 8:14, if you let me interject a quick word
- 8:15there.
- 8:16>> No, no.
- 8:18It was just to clarify each person's
- 8:20position, because otherwise, sometimes
- 8:22the, the Catholic's position everyone
- 8:23knows, but the evangelical's position is
- 8:26like it's a bit harder to identify.
- 8:28So, for there to be a dialogue in this,
- 8:30I also need to know what your position
- 8:32is.
- 8:32>> Yes, I I always concede this because
- 8:34many times they steer the debate of the
- 8:36Immaculate Conception to the sinlessness
- 8:38and holiness of Mary, for example,
- 8:39saying, "Tell me one sin that Mary
- 8:41committed in the Bible, where did she
- 8:43commit a sin?" I say, fine, let's save
- 8:45ourselves all that talk, that
- 8:46conversation, I say, fine, Mary didn't
- 8:48commit sin, done, but that doesn't
- 8:49presuppose the Immaculate Conception of
- 8:51Mary.
- 8:53Now then, the texts I was going to give
- 8:54you were explicit explicit texts where
- 8:56they give the category of sinless only
- 8:58to Jesus.
- 9:00My question is, could you show me a text
- 9:02like that which gives that title to Mary
- 9:05? Not as high priest, we obviously know
- 9:07that, but that it says so, Mary without
- 9:08sin, Mary did not commit sin, Mary was
- 9:10born without sin, something like that,
- 9:12for example, as with Jesus. Already with
- 9:13Jesus.
- 9:14>> But I told you no.
- 9:15>> Okay, it's not there, perfect. That's
- 9:17what I wanted to hear. So, if I see an
- 9:19exception to the rule, since the rule,
- 9:21what is the general rule, Santiago?
- 9:24That everyone, the whole world,
- 9:25everything, everything is fallen,
- 9:27everything.
- 9:28And I know that is the general rule and
- 9:30>> we participate in original sin, we
- 9:32inherit it, that is the rule.
- 9:34>> Exactly.
- 9:36And since you and I know that every rule
- 9:38has an exception, I see the exception in
- 9:40the scripture in the New Testament,
- 9:42specifically only in Jesus, only that
- 9:44exception.
- 9:46My question is, is that exception in the
- 9:49scripture for Mary just as it is for
- 9:51Jesus?
- 9:53>> Yes, I believe so.
- 9:54>> Like where, for example?
- 9:56>> Alright.
- 9:58I will mention three little things
- 9:59trying to answer your...Oh, and I want
- 10:01to remind you, uh, you were going to...
- 10:03when I interrupted you, uh, I made a
- 10:05clarification regarding the Epistle to
- 10:07the Hebrews, you were going to continue
- 10:08with one of Peter's epistles. If you
- 10:10want to throw out all the passages and
- 10:12we can analyze them one by one, I have
- 10:13no problem.
- 10:13>> Fine, no problem.
- 10:16>> So then I still have to respond to the
- 10:17case of First or Second Peter, I don't
- 10:19remember which one it was.
- 10:21Uh, returning to this point, remember
- 10:23one thing, uh, because otherwise it's
- 10:25unfair.
- 10:26Uh, we Catholics are not sola scriptura
- 10:29.
- 10:30Therefore, the topic does not require
- 10:32the exactness, precision, definition, or
- 10:35clarity that it requires for an
- 10:37evangelical based on the Bible alone.
- 10:40The Catholic is not like that.
- 10:42So the Catholic is not going to tell you
- 10:44, hey, look, I have this topic super
- 10:46defined only through the Bible.
- 10:50No. Simply what the Catholic will tell
- 10:52you is, I have a reasonable
- 10:54justification for the dogma that we
- 10:56embrace.
- 10:58Why? Because we are not sola scriptura.
- 11:01We don't need to follow the same
- 11:02methodological path to know which truths
- 11:04of faith a Christian should embrace that
- 11:06an evangelical follows.
- 11:09The evangelical believes that only the
- 11:10Bible is infallible, the Catholic does
- 11:12not. Therefore, I do not need that kind
- 11:14of exactness, definition, or clarity
- 11:17that you demand based on the Bible alone
- 11:19. Is that okay?
- 11:21So as a Catholic, what I say is, is
- 11:23there a reasonable justification to
- 11:25believe that the Catholic faith is
- 11:27definitely in harmony with the Bible?
- 11:30Yes, of course there is. Now, getting to
- 11:33the point, getting to the, to the, to
- 11:34the Bible.
- 11:35Well, number one, uh, it seems to me
- 11:38that those two points I mentioned are
- 11:41key when addressing the question.
- 11:45Number one, because, uh, Mary receives
- 11:47as a title, unlike any other example
- 11:49throughout the length and breadth of the
- 11:51Bible, "full of grace."
- 11:54You accept that Mary is full of grace,
- 11:57just as the Bible says.
- 12:00Furthermore, you assume that the Virgin
- 12:01never committed a single sin.
- 12:05Therefore, my question is: well, then,
- 12:08what does "full of grace" mean?
- 12:11What does "full of grace" signify? Under
- 12:13the criteria that you already assume to
- 12:16be true.
- 12:18On the other hand, let us remember that
- 12:20in this parallelism presented by the
- 12:22apostles, the Virgin is presented as the
- 12:25friend of God, unlike the virgin Eve.
- 12:29Why? Because the virgin Eve enters into
- 12:32dialogue with the fallen angel;
- 12:33therefore, that shows a sort of enmity
- 12:36on the part of the virgin Eve due to the
- 12:38sin and the dialogue she has with the
- 12:40fallen angel, unlike the Virgin Mary.
- 12:43Uh, the Bible says, right? That whoever
- 12:45makes friends with the world is an enemy
- 12:47of God.
- 12:48The virgin Eve, upon falling into sin
- 12:50through the dialogue she enters into
- 12:52with the fallen angel, enters into
- 12:54enmity with God.
- 12:55That is precisely the reason for the
- 12:57judgment God issues when expelling them
- 12:59from the Garden of Eden.
- 13:01With the Virgin Mary, the opposite
- 13:03occurs.
- 13:05In her, it seems that the apostles
- 13:07intend to explain the fulfillment of
- 13:09that promise from Genesis chapter 3,
- 13:11verse 15.
- 13:14Waiting for that enmity to manifest and
- 13:17be fulfilled that should exist between
- 13:20the serpent, or the fallen angel, and
- 13:23the woman.
- 13:26Evidently, that enmity does not manifest
- 13:28with Eve, why?
- 13:30Because Eve became a friend of the
- 13:32serpent, or the fallen angel, by
- 13:34entering into dialogue with him and
- 13:36falling into sin.
- 13:39There must be a woman with whom the
- 13:42enemy truly has an enmity.
- 13:45And what is the fruit of the enmity
- 13:46between the woman and the enemy? It is
- 13:49having no relationship with sin.
- 13:52With whom is this prophecy fulfilled?
- 13:55Well, evidently the author of the book
- 13:57of Luke seems to assume that it is with
- 13:58the Virgin Mary.
- 14:01And if the Gospel of Luke faithfully
- 14:03represents the Gospel preached by the
- 14:05apostles, this means that, implicitly,
- 14:07the apostles taught that the Virgin Mary
- 14:09had not committed sin because she was a
- 14:11friend of God, unlike the virgin Eve.
- 14:15>> Okay. What can I say? Yes, right?
- 14:18>> There, I would have to strongly disagree
- 14:20with you, because I have even heard that
- 14:22argument from José Placencia regarding
- 14:24Genesis 3:15, the protoevangelium.
- 14:26Well, there we can even see that it
- 14:28speaks of the person of the Son, of
- 14:29Jesus.
- 14:31In fact, well, the Hebrew exegetes came
- 14:34to the conclusion that, when
- 14:35interpreting from the Septuagint, they
- 14:38didn't interpret it well and attributed
- 14:40it to Mary.
- 14:43In fact, we can see the Ineffabilis Deus
- 14:45where it says that the one who crushes
- 14:47the serpent's head is exclusively Mary,
- 14:48and then we see that no; John Paul II
- 14:50says it is not Mary, but her lineage,
- 14:52that is, Christ.
- 14:54So, there are many contradictions, but
- 14:56on the point about Genesis 3:15,
- 14:58Santiago, I would like to emphasize
- 15:00something there and ask you something so
- 15:02that it is clear to me. Do you believe
- 15:04that Mary died?
- 15:07>> Uh, yes. I believe Mary died.
- 15:09>> Okay, good.
- 15:11Saint Augustine makes a representation
- 15:13about that. In fact, I'm going to quote
- 15:15it to you here quickly. Let's see.
- 15:17Let's see, here it is.
- 15:18>> But, but, but, but, let's take this step
- 15:20by step, what do you think?
- 15:21You said something about Genesis 3:15.
- 15:24Let's return to Genesis 3:15, does that
- 15:25seem okay to you?
- 15:26>> Go ahead if you want.
- 15:28>> Good, very good. Let's go to Genesis
- 15:303:15, which I think is important for our
- 15:32dialogue.
- 15:34Um, it says the following.
- 15:37And I will put enmity between you and
- 15:40the woman, and between your seed and her
- 15:42seed.
- 15:43He will crush your head, and you will
- 15:45strike his heel.
- 15:46You said something that is not entirely
- 15:48accurate.
- 15:49>> Mhm.
- 15:51>> You appealed to—in mentioning this
- 15:53passage, you appealed to a supposed
- 15:54confusion that exists regarding whether
- 15:56it was the Virgin Mary or if it was
- 15:58Jesus because of a translation issue,
- 16:00this and that. I know that such a
- 16:02controversy existed, but that is not my
- 16:04argument. You are fighting a straw man.
- 16:07Why?
- 16:08Because the confusion existed regarding
- 16:10the seed, which is the one who crushes
- 16:12the head.
- 16:14Who crushes the head? It is Christ, it
- 16:16is the seed of the woman. But notice
- 16:18that my argument did not go in that
- 16:20direction. My argument was about the
- 16:22enmity. My question is the following.
- 16:23You surely have a Bible open in front of
- 16:25you.
- 16:26>> Yes, I have it here.
- 16:28>> With whom, with whom is Satan to have
- 16:30enmity according to Genesis chapter 3
- 16:33verse 15?
- 16:34>> According to Genesis, as it says there,
- 16:35with the woman.
- 16:37>> Good. The woman is not Christ.
- 16:39>> No, no, no.
- 16:41>> Who is the woman?
- 16:43>> In Genesis 3:15, Eve.
- 16:46The woman of Genesis 3:15.
- 16:48>> But we are talking typologically,
- 16:50because if I tell you the woman is not
- 16:52Christ—
- 16:53>> Yes, it could be Mary without a problem
- 16:54.
- 16:55>> Okay. So, let's recap up to this point.
- 16:58You believe, you assume, you profess
- 17:01that the Virgin Mary did not commit
- 17:03personal sin.
- 17:03>> Mhm.
- 17:05>> But furthermore, you believe that the
- 17:08woman who has enmity and is prophesied
- 17:11in Genesis chapter 3 verse 15 is also
- 17:14Mary.
- 17:15>> Mhm.
- 17:17>> Okay, good. Eh, so it seems to me that
- 17:20the doors are closing for you to defend
- 17:21your position.
- 17:22>> I'll tell you why. I can tell you why.
- 17:24Right, because you just shut down the
- 17:26debate here by saying that Mary did
- 17:28indeed die. Okay, let me ask you.
- 17:31If Eve, if, if, if Adam and Eve hadn't
- 17:33sinned, would they have died?
- 17:35Could they have died? Did they know they
- 17:37were going to die if they hadn't sinned
- 17:38?
- 17:40>> No, probably not, they wouldn't have
- 17:41died. We don't have defined what the
- 17:44reason is for that life that would
- 17:47endure through time, but eh no, no, no.
- 17:51No, if there hadn't been sin, no, they
- 17:52wouldn't have died.
- 17:53>> They died as a consequence of what?
- 17:55>> Sin.
- 17:56>> Good, good.
- 17:57Let's see what Saint Augustine says. In
- 17:59Augustine of Hippo, book 13, chapter 1,
- 18:02City of God. Touching on that topic.
- 18:05Touching on the topic.
- 18:06>> But wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
- 18:07Moment, Cristian Izquierdo, I want to
- 18:09cut you off for a second because this,
- 18:10this argument is from Cristian and I
- 18:12already know it. It's all good.
- 18:13>> No, it's from Cristian Izquierdo.
- 18:14>> The only thing, the only thing I ask is
- 18:16that we focus on the Bible.
- 18:18Let's talk Bible.
- 18:19>> But I am touching on the topic of the
- 18:21>> Bible, I am touching on a topic from the
- 18:22Bible.
- 18:22>> No, no, no, no. But here we must discuss
- 18:25biblical passages. That's the only thing
- 18:27I ask that we stick to.
- 18:28>> So you're not going to, you're not going
- 18:30to let me argue?
- 18:32>> No, I'm not going to let you use the
- 18:33Church Fathers, because if you don't use
- 18:34the Church Fathers, I also use them. If
- 18:36I also use them, no.
- 18:38But do you know what the difference is?
- 18:40Do you know what the difference is? It's
- 18:41that if I use the Church Fathers, you're
- 18:43going to dismiss my argument because I
- 18:45won't find it in the Bible, I'll find it
- 18:47in the Church Fathers.
- 18:48No, no, no, no, no. We have to focus on
- 18:50the Bible. I debate Protestants
- 18:53biblically.
- 18:54>> But doesn't the Bible have
- 18:55interpretations?
- 18:55>> Look, look. If I want to, if I want to.
- 18:59That is why I am asking you, please,
- 19:01look, I am asking you, please, to limit
- 19:03yourself to the framework within which
- 19:05you agreed to discuss this topic.
- 19:07It is biblical.
- 19:08>> Did she die?
- 19:08>> Let's speak only within that framework.
- 19:11>> As a consequence of what did Mary die?
- 19:12Go ahead, fine, fine, fine, fine.
- 19:13>> I reiterate why, I reiterate why.
- 19:17Because on any topic where I cite the
- 19:19Church Fathers, you are "sola scriptura
- 19:20" and you will profess that the only
- 19:22infallible authority is the Bible,
- 19:24therefore, there will be a point where,
- 19:26when I cite the Church Fathers, you will
- 19:28say that you honestly don't care what
- 19:29the Church Fathers say because you need
- 19:31to justify it with the Bible.
- 19:34>> You will care little when they go
- 19:35against you, Santiago.
- 19:37>> No, no, no, no, no, because the Church
- 19:39Fathers are precisely fathers of the
- 19:40Catholic Church, so in that sense, I am
- 19:42very calm.
- 19:43>> It would be in your best interest to
- 19:44read Saint Augustine.
- 19:44>> Relax, rest assured that I am very calm
- 19:47regarding the Church Fathers. Now, what
- 19:49I do ask of you, as an evangelical, is
- 19:51that you argue with the Bible and I will
- 19:53respond with the Bible. Does that sound
- 19:54good to you?
- 19:55>> Fine. Fine, except you said that was the
- 19:57agreement I made; I never reached that
- 19:58agreement, you never asked me if I could
- 19:59come on and only argue from the Bible.
- 20:01>> You asked me to—no, wait, wait—you asked
- 20:02me to join, and it says "Biblical
- 20:04Debates" in very large letters here.
- 20:05>> Obviously, clearly. So, do you only use
- 20:07the Bible here? Do you only use the
- 20:08Bible?
- 20:09>> Yes.
- 20:09>> Only the Bible? Okay, why did Mary die?
- 20:11>> Yes. Because I talk to Protestants.
- 20:14>> So, so look, but Santiago, Santiago,
- 20:15Santiago, a while ago you said, "Oh,
- 20:17it's just that we can't find it only in
- 20:19the Bible because, well, I'm not 'sola
- 20:20scriptura'."
- 20:22>> I didn't say that.
- 20:23>> You said, you said, "It's that I'm not '
- 20:25sola scriptura', my approach won't be
- 20:27..."
- 20:27>> No, no, no, no, no. I did not say, "No,
- 20:29we can't find it only in the Bible." At
- 20:32no point did that phrase come out of my
- 20:34mouth. I didn't say that at any moment.
- 20:35>> Since you are, since we are only going
- 20:37to talk about the Bible here, prove the
- 20:39Immaculate Conception to me exclusively
- 20:40in the Bible. Go ahead, Immaculate
- 20:42Conception, that Mary was conceived
- 20:44without original sin. Go ahead, let's
- 20:46see if you can.
- 20:47You won't be able to; you have to resort
- 20:49to what your church says.
- 20:50Now tell me, let's skip that Santiago,
- 20:53let's skip that. Tell me, why did Mary
- 20:55die?
- 20:55Why did Mary die?
- 20:57>> Look, stop, let me explain the previous
- 20:58point because otherwise it's like we
- 21:00keep jumping from one point to another
- 21:01and we never finish concluding a topic.
- 21:03Look, I I will explain the following to
- 21:04you. This is a space for biblical
- 21:06debates. Here the only thing we do is
- 21:08debate with the Bible, why? Because
- 21:10evangelicals are Bible only. Ultimately
- 21:12, they are Bible only. So, since I am
- 21:14inviting evangelicals to debate, we
- 21:16debate with the Bible.
- 21:18Now, what is the case for the Catholic
- 21:21Church? The Catholic Church does not
- 21:23pretend to justify or construct a
- 21:25theological argument and therefore,
- 21:28consequently, a dogma using only the
- 21:30Bible. We are also tradition and
- 21:32magisterium.
- 21:33That is why my position is that I can
- 21:36justify biblically every one of the
- 21:39beliefs that the Catholic faith
- 21:42professes. I can justify it.
- 21:44Now, I never said that I can build a
- 21:47case definitively because Catholics do
- 21:49not believe in*sola scriptura*or that*
- 21:52sola scriptura*is a correct doctrine.
- 21:55We do not define things based entirely
- 21:58and solely on the Bible. That is my
- 22:01point. Having said that, I argue the
- 22:03case of the Virgin Mary to you based on
- 22:06the Bible just as I just did.
- 22:08I just did it.
- 22:10The enmity between the fallen angel,
- 22:12Satan, and the Virgin Mary, which you
- 22:14assume means the woman in Genesis
- 22:16chapter 3 verse 15 is the Virgin Mary
- 22:18and that, furthermore, she did not
- 22:20commit sin.
- 22:22You have to answer that for me. I told
- 22:24you here you are closing a lot of doors
- 22:26for your case. Well, that's fine.
- 22:28Answer me how you harmonize, under your
- 22:31Protestant worldview, that the Virgin
- 22:33Mary not only did not commit sin, but is
- 22:36also the woman prophesied in Genesis
- 22:38chapter 3 verse 15.
- 22:40>> Right. Right. Why? Because, look, that
- 22:43does not mean that Mary was immaculate
- 22:45from her conception. That that that
- 22:47argument you give me, that conclusion
- 22:49comes from what? From an interpretation
- 22:52. That interpretation is not in the
- 22:54Bible. So, if we are going to go
- 22:56exclusively to what the Bible says, as
- 22:58you say it is biblical, you cannot bring
- 22:59your interpretation here, because I was
- 23:01trying to give you an interpretation
- 23:03from Saint Augustine on that quote and
- 23:05you didn't want to accept it.
- 23:07In any case, I cannot accept your
- 23:09interpretation, because if that
- 23:11exclusively and specifically means the
- 23:13Immaculate Conception in Genesis 3:15,
- 23:15that is your interpretation which, well
- 23:17, you have to try to prove to me, but
- 23:19only with an interpretation.
- 23:22Now, my question is simple, Santiago.
- 23:24>> No, no, wait, wait, wait. Let's focus on
- 23:26that point. I think it's fine that you
- 23:27pass the burden of proof to me, mind you
- 23:29.
- 23:29I accept the burden of proof. I accept
- 23:31it. I accept it, I accept it, I accept
- 23:32it.
- 23:33Ah, I ask, I ask the following.
- 23:37Does a person begin to be a child of God
- 23:39because they are not born as a child of
- 23:41God, according to your worldview as a
- 23:42Presbyterian, right?
- 23:44>> Mhm. Yes. What does that have to do with
- 23:46it?
- 23:48>> No, no.
- 23:49I'm just asking you because, I reiterate
- 23:51, I am trying to figure out what you
- 23:52believe, because you can know what I
- 23:54believe because
- 23:55>> that is not the topic, Santiago. That is
- 23:57not the topic. That is not the topic.
- 23:59>> Yes, you will see, you will see what the
- 24:00topic is. I promise you, I promise you
- 24:01that you will see it is the topic.
- 24:03>> Why did Mary die. It's just that I want
- 24:05to know.
- 24:05>> I promise you, but I promise you. I
- 24:07promise you it will be the topic. Rest
- 24:08assured. I simply want you to realize by
- 24:11your own means and by reasoning for
- 24:12yourself that you are falling into a
- 24:14contradiction. I'll show you very
- 24:15quickly.
- 24:16>> Just prove the Immaculate Conception to
- 24:17me.
- 24:19>> When a person is born, when they are
- 24:20born?
- 24:21Are they born a friend of God or an
- 24:23enemy of God?
- 24:25>> They are born with original sin, an
- 24:27enemy of God.
- 24:30>> Okay. If they are an enemy of God, are
- 24:33they an enemy of the world and the devil
- 24:35, right?
- 24:36>> Like the whole human race that is born,
- 24:37yes, separated from God.
- 24:38>> Perfect.
- 24:40If the Virgin Mary is the woman
- 24:42prophesied in Genesis chapter 3 verse 15
- 24:45, how can the Lord say that this woman
- 24:47is an enemy of the devil?
- 24:51If, according to you, she was born with
- 24:52original sin, wait, if according to you
- 24:54she was born with original sin, and by
- 24:56being born with original sin she is born
- 24:58an enemy of God.
- 25:01>> Where does it say there that she was
- 25:03born, that the woman was born hostile?
- 25:05Where does it say that?
- 25:05>> No, it doesn't say it, it doesn't say it
- 25:06, it doesn't say she was born that way.
- 25:08>> Exactly, so good, good.
- 25:09>> At what moment, at what moment does she
- 25:11go from being an enemy to being a friend
- 25:12of God?
- 25:13>> Here it comes, here it comes, exactly.
- 25:15If it doesn't say that, then if you
- 25:16claim you come with the burden of proof
- 25:18and you cannot prove that she was a
- 25:19friend of God from her conception, you
- 25:21aren't proving anything anymore; now you
- 25:22are shifting the burden of proof to me.
- 25:25No, prove to me that it talks about "
- 25:26exclusively" there.
- 25:29>> Fine, then if my interpretation isn't
- 25:30the correct one, if my interpretation
- 25:32isn't the correct one, tell me the
- 25:33following: at what moment did the Virgin
- 25:35Mary—because you told me the Virgin Mary
- 25:37didn't fall into sin—You told me the
- 25:38Virgin Mary didn't fall into sin, that
- 25:40she is impeccable, that she didn't
- 25:42commit sin.
- 25:44So, if the Virgin Mary is born with
- 25:45original sin and, according to your own
- 25:47words, the Virgin Mary is born at enmity
- 25:49with God but never commits sin, at what
- 25:51moment does the Virgin Mary—no, wait,
- 25:52wait, wait—at what moment does the
- 25:54Virgin Mary go from being an enemy of
- 25:56God to a friend of God?
- 25:57At what moment?
- 25:58>> I’m just saying it's not from her
- 26:00conception, because you can't prove that
- 26:01.
- 26:02You can't prove it.
- 26:03>> At what moment, explain to me at what
- 26:04moment.
- 26:04>> Not from her conception. Prove to me
- 26:06that it was from her conception. Look,
- 26:07look, it could be, listen closely,
- 26:09listen closely, listen closely, no, no,
- 26:11no.
- 26:11>> A surprise, you never expected this
- 26:13argument, you never expected me to go in
- 26:15this direction.
- 26:17And your own words condemned you, it was
- 26:19your own words that condemned you, you
- 26:22know why?
- 26:23Because you came looking for a clip, and
- 26:25you aren't the one taking the clip, I am
- 26:27.
- 26:27>> I’ll take it all, if you give me the
- 26:28chance I can upload the whole thing.
- 26:30If I can, if I can upload it, I’ll
- 26:32upload the whole thing, I have no
- 26:33problem. No, no, no. No.
- 26:35>> At what moment does the Virgin Mary go
- 26:37from being an enemy of God to a friend
- 26:39of God?
- 26:40At what moment?
- 26:41>> At any moment in her life except for her
- 26:43conception, no problem, except for her
- 26:44conception.
- 26:46>> At what moment? At what moment?
- 26:48>> No, look, the burden of proof is yours,
- 26:50that it has to be from her conception.
- 26:51You prove it to me.
- 26:53You said that.
- 26:53>> No, you were expecting this argument.
- 26:55You weren't expecting it, and I did it
- 26:57using only the Bible, I did it using
- 26:58only the Bible.
- 26:59Only with the Bible, only with the Bible
- 27:02. You know what's happening? Right now
- 27:04you want to kill yourself because you
- 27:06don't know what to say.
- 27:08So, at what moment did the Virgin Mary,
- 27:10at what moment did the Virgin Mary go
- 27:13from being an enemy of God to being a
- 27:15friend of God?
- 27:16At what moment?
- 27:17>> I'm going to tell you the moment. Since
- 27:19she said yes to God.
- 27:21I'll give you a moment, since, since she
- 27:23found grace, since she found grace
- 27:24before the eyes of God. Like that.
- 27:27Since she found grace, since she found
- 27:28grace.
- 27:29>> it goes against the Bible. But that goes
- 27:31against the Bible.
- 27:32>> since she found grace before the eyes of
- 27:34God. There.
- 27:35Since she found grace.
- 27:36>> from the moment she says yes. If the
- 27:39angel greets her. Ah, well, are you
- 27:41retracting your statement? Wait, wait,
- 27:42are you retracting?
- 27:43>> Yes, since she found grace. If I retract
- 27:45the first one, I'll tell you since she
- 27:46found grace.
- 27:46>> Okay, okay, okay. At what moment did she
- 27:48find grace?
- 27:49At what moment did she find grace? At
- 27:51what moment did she find grace?
- 27:52>> Look, you have to prove to me that it
- 27:54was from her conception.
- 27:55From before No, no, no, from before. No
- 27:57, no, no, no.
- 27:58>> according to your own worldview it makes
- 28:00no sense at all, and what you are trying
- 28:02to do now, retracting in real time, is
- 28:04trying to look good publicly because
- 28:06clearly your position is incoherent and
- 28:08incompatible with the Bible.
- 28:11Look, if you tell me that at some point
- 28:13she found grace, the question is at what
- 28:15moment, because what you said is the
- 28:17following, and you have to explain your
- 28:19worldview coherently.
- 28:21You say that the Virgin Mary is born
- 28:23with original sin, that she is born an
- 28:25enemy of God, but that at the same time
- 28:26, being an enemy of God, she never
- 28:28committed sin.
- 28:30Can you explain to me how someone who is
- 28:32born an enemy of God never committed sin
- 28:34if they are an enemy of God?
- 28:36>> Well, she was preserved to be able to
- 28:38fulfill God's plan for the world.
- 28:40Without a doubt.
- 28:41>> preserved as an enemy of God?
- 28:42>> Yes, she was preserved.
- 28:43>> She was preserved as an enemy of God.
- 28:45>> Let's see, Abraham was always a friend
- 28:46of God. No, no, no.
- 28:47Let's see, Abraham was always a friend
- 28:48of God.
- 28:49>> Come on, brother. Come on.
- 28:51>> Abraham was always No, Abraham was
- 28:52always a friend of God.
- 28:53>> with all due respect.
- 28:55At this moment, you are trying to change
- 28:57course because you don't know what to
- 28:58say.
- 28:59You know what happens?
- 29:00>> I am giving you an example.
- 29:02>> At this moment, you are demonstrating
- 29:04the incoherence of the Protestant
- 29:06worldview, which tries to adjust
- 29:07according to the circumstances because
- 29:09your position is incoherent.
- 29:12You never you never saw it coming that
- 29:15by having said that the Virgin Mary did
- 29:17not commit sin and having said at the
- 29:20same time that the Virgin Mary is the
- 29:22enemy of of of Satan, prophesied in
- 29:24Genesis chapter 3 verse 15, your own
- 29:27words automatically bring down your
- 29:29whole idea.
- 29:30>> The the words from my mouth lead to the
- 29:32conclusion that Mary was immaculate in
- 29:33her conception.
- 29:34>> No, brother.
- 29:35>> No, but but let's see, let's see.
- 29:38>> You came looking for a clip and it went
- 29:39wrong for you. I send you a big hug,
- 29:41buddy.
- 29:42May God bless you. See you later.
- 29:44>> Wait, I'm just saying goodbye. I'm just
- 29:46saying goodbye.
- 29:47I'm just saying goodbye if you want.
- 29:48And I thank you. I thank you for letting
- 29:50me come on. Uh, I think you didn't let
- 29:52me argue everything I brought because I
- 29:54had more arguments. You told me no, I
- 29:56respect that, it's your space. Uh,
- 29:57anyway, I thank you. If I disrespected
- 30:00you or disrespected your channel here, I
- 30:02apologize enormously. It it wasn't my
- 30:03intention. Things got heated, I don't
- 30:05know, but I don't know if I if you're
- 30:06going to upload this to YouTube, if you
- 30:08would let me upload it after you upload
- 30:09it.
- 30:09>> Obviously, of course I'll let you, you
- 30:11bet. I'm not like Edgar Pacheco who goes
- 30:12around reporting channels. Upload it and
- 30:14react to it and I I don't have any
- 30:16problem.
- 30:16>> mentions of Pacheco, nothing. Like
- 30:18you're trolling Pacheco.
- 30:19>> No, how am I going to How am I going to
- 30:21Sure, how am I going to disrespect your
- 30:23daddy?
- 30:24>> But but why do you mention him so much?
- 30:26Why do you mention him so much?
- 30:27>> I make you angry, brother. Because I
- 30:28make you angry. Because I make you angry
- 30:30.
- 30:30>> I'm very calm, you understand?
- 30:31>> I send you a big hug, man. May God bless
- 30:33you.
- 30:34>> a lot.
