This week SRR welcomes Timothy F. Kauffman back to the show for the final installment in our series on the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary. In this episode, we read some email from one of our listeners and try to answer the question of whether or not Roman Catholics are Christian. Then we jump into the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary and consider whether or not she was assumed bodily into heaven. We also re-address whether or not the Roman Catholics are correct in identifying the woman of Revelation 12:1-6 as Mother Mary. Tim Kauffman does another fantastic job of leading us in our discussion of the Roman Catholic arguments and explains why their system is nothing more than a house of cards.

This week SRR welcomes Timothy F. Kauffman back to the show for part 4 in our discussion on the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary. In this episode, we look at the perpetual virginity of Mary and ask if it was what the early church believed and more importantly if it is what the Bible teaches. We also address whether or not the Roman Catholics are correct in identifying the woman of Revelation 12:1-6 as Mother Mary. Tim Kauffman does another fantastic job of leading us in our discussion of the Roman Catholic arguments and explains why their system is nothing more than a house of cards.

This week SRR welcomes Timothy F. Kauffman back to the show for the second part of our discussion of the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary. Tim Shaughnessy begins by recounting his experience calling into the Bible Answer Man with Hank Hanegraaff and Tim Kauffman offers some helpful insight and perspective. Then the two dive into the Roman Catholic view of Mary as the Ark of the New Covenant. This may be an unfamiliar title of Mary for some Protestants, but it is very important to understand because from this Rome tries to establish Mary as the immaculate conception along with other erroneous doctrines. Tim Kauffman does a fantastic job of leading us in our discussion of the Roman Catholic arguments from scripture for their view and as always he shows us why they are wrong.

As always we want to thank Tim Kauffman and recommend his blog whitehorseblog.com to our listeners.

Join Tim and Carlos and Joseph Rios for, what is sure to be a controversial episode, as they take a stand on this issue concerning the "Bible Answer Mans." Listen in as Semper Reformanda Radio takes up the defense of Pulpit and Pen in how they called out Hank Hanegraaff and gives their perspective of heretics, apostates, and false teachers. Stay tuned until the end to find out why heretics win battles and hear how Paul the Apostle dealt with those who obscure the gospel.

We need to make it clear that we are not Theonomist and do not believe that false teachers should be stoned as they were in the Old Testament. We must caution that under the Old Testament the Jewish nation could freely exercise the civil power of the sword. Tim Kauffman has pointed out that Roman Catholicism misunderstood the role of the church when it started using the civil sword against heretics starting in the latter part of the fourth century. He offers this caution to the three of us who participated in this episode. "I know the participants on the episode were being hyperbolic, but it almost came across as advocating corporal punishment for heretics. I would caution against such suggestions. It may not actually come across that way to the average listener. My ears are pretty finely tuned to the use of civil power by ecclesiastical authorities, and it never ends well, but I'm glad you came to the defense of Pulpit & Pen on this issue. Very important to stand firm."

We would also like to congratulate Ryan Dozier on winning the set of books offered in last week's drawing. We also want to thank all those who participated and shared our episode. We hope to have more drawings in the future to show our appreciation for our listeners.

“Scripturalism—Christianity—is a whole view of things thought out together. It engages non-Christian philosophies on every field of intellectual endeavor. It furnishes a coherent theory of knowledge, an infallible salvation, a refutation of science, a theory of the world, a coherent and practical system of ethics, and the principles required for political liberty and justice. No other philosophy does.” (John Robbins, “An Introduction to Gordon H. Clark,” http://www.trinityfoundation.org/journal.php?id=192)

The essays are some of the best analyses of its meaning we have seen in print, written by the editor of the Standard Bearer. Far from being a sideshow, and far from being dead, the assault on the doctrines of Scripture by the faculty of Westminster Seminary determined the path that the Seminary, and to some extent, the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, would follow for the remainder of the century."
