“Can Mary accomplish something Jesus can’t do” is like asking “Is a person who feeds the starving doing something God can’t do?” Slick acts slick but William had the grit
Except it's in the context of interceding for sinners with God, and Scripture says we have one intercessor. No, it doesn't mean just praying for someone.
@ You just said not to pray for sinners. You just said you are not allowed to intercede for sinners. The NT especially says for us to intercede for sinners. We can intercede not just in prayer but reproving etc. I think you are mistakenly mixing up the idea of interceding with forgiving sin in some way.
@@Psalm34rws Nonsense. Nice try at straw-manning me but those tactics don't work for William All-Bark and they won't work for you either...I'll now clarify my statement in such a way that you can't misrepresent it. There is ONE mediator between God and men. According to what you just said, there are billions of mediators between God and men. So what's going on? Your error comes from defining intercession or mediation in a way that cannot be the definition used in 1 Timothy. I was using the terms interchangeably as they are often translated, but I have no problem with a more precise definition of each. That works perfectly for me. And it's the same distinction the Catholic Encyclopedia makes. We can say _Intercession_ means to entreat or request something on someone's behalf. A good example would be Abraham interceding with God on behalf of Sodom and Gomorrah, or as you say, Christians praying for one another. Whereas _mediation_ refers to (according to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon) “one who intervenes between two, either in order to make or restore peace and friendship, or to form a compact, or for ratifying a covenant; a medium of communication, arbitrator.” Paul clarifies in Galatians 3:20 that a mediator does not belong to one party, but to two or more. Christ alone is our mediator as He can relate both to God and to humanity, because He is divine but also became flesh, so only He can identify with both parties and mediate between them. When I'm praying for someone, I'm not mediating between them and God, I'm petitioning God for them. Catholics claim the "one" in reference to the mediator is primacy and doesn't exclude others, so they can add Mary in as "mediatrix". Not only is that simply nonsense when we cross reference with other uses of the word; it's also nonsense because Mary isn't in a position to mediate between God and man anyway...She doesn't share in divinity, but also there are three groups mentioned in 1 Timothy - God, Men and the Mediator. Mary belongs in the "men" category, as do the rest of us. Logically, there is no way that men can be the mediator between men and God in Paul's context. Both the subject of the mediation and the mediator. And if Christ is our mediator, why would we need anyone else? Another thing - we can pray to Jesus right? On behalf of someone else. So does that mean we're mediating with the mediator? Then there's the problem of the finite human being Mary suddenly becoming omniscient and able to hear the prayers of millions of people simultaneously. The entire thing is a big pile of putrid garbage, twisting scripture to service the needs of your Roman Magisterium. It doesn't come from Scripture, nor does it need to in your religion. It only needs to be articulated as official teaching by your leadership. Your entire religion is an extra-Biblical tradition based cult full of idolatry and works. That's how you arrived at the sorry state of having your Communist apostate pope declaring all religions are paths to God, and your corrupt apostate church declaring that Christians and Muslims worship the same god, despite their god explicitly denying Jesus' divinity and the trinity. But the Bible says whoever doesn't have the Son, doesn't have the Father! A DIRECT CONTRADICTION between established Catholic doctrine, taught by Vatican II and all popes of the last thousand years (which you are bound to follow by canon law) and the clear didactic teaching of the Word of God. So next time you're fumbling with your beads and bowing down to your idol, say hi to Allah from me.

That was an absolute annihilation! Well done William. Thank you for doing tremendously well defending the Catholic and Ancient Church’s all of which adhered to the intercession of the Saints including our Holy Mother, the Theotokos
William is a class act. Slick deserved both barrels for speaking about the Holy Eucharist and the Blessed Mother that way but William kept it professional 👏
Tonight was the night Matt Slick ended his own career. Thank you, Brother William, for demonstrating the Truth and giving a platform for Slick to display his wicked behavior for people to avoid. God Bless
May God continue to bless you Bro. William! You make me see each time why Protestantism is definitely not for me anymore. Thank you for the work you do!
At 37:03 in regards to Saints hearing our prayers Matt says “we don’t know what they can and cannot do”. Yet Matt seems to be sure they cannot intercede for us. Also in his opening statement he said there is no example in the bible (Protestant bible) of someone praying for the dead. Paul prays for Onesiphorus in 2 Timothy1 and the early church and even some modern Protestants believed Onesiphorus to be dead.
There’s also been a recent archeological discovery of some small scroll found north of the alps dated to the early 200’s. In the scroll the writer is seeking the intercession of St Titus. Demonstrating the belief in and practice of praying to “dead” saints for their intercession was an ancient belief of the earliest Christians PRIOR to the Bible having been compiled.
@@chad_hominemwow I had not heard of that until reading your comment!! And googled it and read the article!! That is absolutely incredible!!! That has prayers to the saints, multiple claims of Jesus’ divinity, and it quotes Isaiah 6:3 “holy, holy, holy” and almost word for word quotes Philippians 2:10 at the end!! That’s an early Christmas present right there reading about this discovery!!
Matt had a humiliating debate with William. He ran to his notes and obfuscated from the topic of the debate from the start of Williams cross exam. Pray for Matt to repent from his pride and come to fullness of the truth which is the Church Christ Himself set up.
Exactly When the early reformers, who hold the same Solas Matt claims to hold, believe in intercession(and some other Marian dogmas like her perpetual virginity), they must believe it is in the scriptures but Matt rejects this and says that he needs a word for word endorsement of intercession, otherwise he will go with his own interpretation as the only truth and everyone else is wrong, even Luther/Wycliffe etc
I was called out by Matt because I simply told him that his Calvinist version of God predestined him to lose, and he got mad and wanted me to challenge him. I am down. Any good resources/videos to watch before I debate him on Calvinist arguments for predestination? Thanks!
So Matt does not accept William‘s appeal to the church fathers but Matt keeps bringing up “I've talked to 100 Catholics that's say xyz” … and doesn't see an issue with that according to his standard?
Mr. Slick did not engage with my superchat question I asked later in the video. The question was: What evidence is there that 2 Chronicles was considered the last book of the Hebrew Bible in Jesus’ time. I asked this because he used the classic “Blood of Abel” argument for the Protestant Canon. His response was to quote some scholars (some of which very antiquated) who beg the question, and state the conclusion whose premises are the very thing I was asking evidence for. To give some context, I did some research and found that the earliest evidence of Chronicles being the categorically last book comes from the Talmud, specifically a part from the 200s AD at the earliest. Most other sources from the 1st-6th century AD do not list Chronicles as being the last book of the Old Testament (Hebrew or Christian). If we take Melito’s Canon to be intended as a Jewish canon list, then we see an earlier source which contradicts the claim.
Phenomenal stuff. Thank you to you both; I am learning so much. Might I say in addition however, thank you most especially to you William. Your channel is a rock unto itself I thank the Lord for having been guided to. Get some rest, Big Guy. You’ve earned it true.
I wish that after every question, Matt didn't slide in a dig or rebut and then quickly ask another question.. Good on you, William, for not letting him get away with it.
I've seen william a lot in sam's channel but I don't know if he had a UA-cam channel😅 and now I discovered it and subscribe❤ thanks a lot brother William and sam because when prots attacked my faith I'm silent because I don't have an answer, and now I've been watching sam for 2 years now and Patristic Pillar is added to my list❤
William, I had never heard your name before this debate, I came here from Sam Shamoun who did a video about the absolute demolition that Matt suffered. I my self am a Greek orthodox, I just wanted to say that even me as an orthodox Christian am very impressed and glad that you argue on the behalf of God. The moment you absolutely destroyed him you gained yourself a new subscriber. Amen ☦️
Sad, I didn't get to watch this live. I'm glad I'm getting to watch it now. William, thank you for always defending the faith. Your work is an inspiration to me.
Matt slick attacked the man, not the argument. He was wrong the majority of the time. Does he not know that Protestants had their own Inquisition? It was really hard to take him seriously.
I am a Wesleyan Arminian Christian, who do not believe in petitioning the Virgin Mary for intercession. Having said that, William has enlightened me on what Catholics believe. Oh, and I don't believe in Calvinism. I reject it outright.
Slick reminded me of Dr. Brown when he debated William on purgatory basically saying ‘you’re not allowed to talk about any church fathers, counsels or tradition’. Same thing happened in that debate Brown refused to engage anything beyond ‘bible alone’. Talk about running and hiding.
Matt should have checked the definition of "intercession" and "intermediary" prior to the debate ... and saved us all time. Catholics do not claim Mary is our mediator - simple concept Matt fails to grasp. Excellent job William!
I don't understand how Matt, using his Calvinist framework, can state unequivocally that Catholics are not saved when God has predestined who is "elect" and who isn't before they even were born. I don't see the correlation. Maybe I'm missing something 😅 I like how he said it's an argument from silence how we can say that God gives Mary the power to hear prayers but that can be reserved as there's nothing to say that God *can't* give Mary the power. He is actually arguing from silence.
You mentioned in previous stream that you had a second channel with workouts videos. I need some catholics workout motivation, can you link the channel?
I don’t know why anybody debates Matt Slick. You can give a scripture and he can just disagree with any given interpretation. This is the madness of sola scriptura.
Dude, brother William, my Lord. I learned how to be a man today ... man, dude .. Great job. Amazing it true, you always mention know you christology and you'll have a good maryology amazing.
William thank you my brother. You and Sam Shamoun are two big reasons I started to understand the Catholic faith. I am now in OCIA Lord willing I will be confirmed at the Easter vigil. From one San Antonian to the next, God Bless you!
Matt states,”You don’t understand logic.” However, rejects the authority of the Catholic Church assembling the scripture, rejects Christ’s Church and authority (agree with New Testament but throw away what Calvin did not like), yet follows a man made religion from a twisted lawyer (Calvin) in the 16th century. Logical indeed.
I dont know how you had this much patience William, but again and again, you continually impress me with how intellectual but easy to understand your arguments are, that really destroys alot of the non sense arguments people like Matt come up with. Benedicamus Domino!
Easy debate, as always we all know who won 😂 my boy William 👌 when you have the TRUTH nothing can beat it. Keep going brother may god continue to bless you, a true warrior, always learning.
Just as many in the early Church sought the mediation and intercession of mere human beings like Peter and Paul and their prayers and shadow and handkerchiefs, so too even now, for NOT EVEN DEATH CAN SEPARATE US! Especially the Mother of God, she who moved her Son and Lord to perform His public miracle, even though it was not yet His hour, touched by His Mother's compassion for the wedding couple, as the prayers of a righteous person have great power in it's effects, and those in Heaven are righteous! William destroyed the unbiblical teachings of Matt Slick!! Keep up the GOD work William! JMJ
Terrific job exposing Matt Slick and his heretic beliefs here brother William, and doing it in humility and love. I hope Mr. Slick doesn’t mind, but I’ll pray a decade of the Holy Rosary and ask for healing for his wife’s health.
Wow. This was a total destruction of Matt and his terrible theology. Calvinism truly is from the pits of hell, since it is borrowing garbage arguments from various other heresies in Church history
William I am disappointed... you promised a debate but the other side got murdered again.... I still have to see an actual debate that is not a lecture. Fantastic job, glory to Christ
One comment additional: LIKE the stream!!! Didn’t like it? Dislike the stream!!! All action helps the algorithm, so let’s spread the word. God bless you all, and Merry Christmas!
Hopefully Matt see this, I’m praying for repentance of my heart and his as well. It’s really hard to see a man act this self destructive. Too much verbatim fallacies, association fallacies, false dilemmas and more, this is really hard to watch. Genuinely going to pray for u Matt
I was in the stream. Matt looked like he was gonna cry. He spent his precious plug-in time to spout his untrue filth about Catholicism. That's how desperate he was. #retireslick
The debate ended at 51:45. Matt picks and chooses the scriptures, councils, interpretations, and even his own “reformers”. I’m Orthodox but GBU William!☦️
To super restrict the debate send a tactic of cowardice. I.e. "if the bible doesn't specifically say it, it doesn't exist". At the same time "this is my body is pure symbolism"
Matt Slick gives James White a run for his money in both caricatures and when it comes to blatant refusal to answer questions that point out the circularity and contradictory foundation on which his faith is built. I also feel like him calling out Sam the way he did warrants him having to debate Sam on SFT on a topic of Sam's choosing.
Summary of Matt Slicks' starting position: I am going to reject the books of the Bible that show the intercession of the Saints. I am then going to strip the entire Bible out of its historical and cultural context, teaching and understanding so I can apply a modern materialistic reinterpretation to it. I'm also going to ignore all of the early Church Fathers that attest to this practice of how the scriptures were interpreted by Christians because it doesn't align with my opinion. Once I have done all of this, I can then show how this practice isn't biblical.

That was an absolute annihilation! Well done William. Thank you for doing tremendously well defending the Catholic and Ancient Church’s all of which adhered to the intercession of the Saints including our Holy Mother, the Theotokos
William is a class act. Slick deserved both barrels for speaking about the Holy Eucharist and the Blessed Mother that way but William kept it professional 👏
Wow, first time watching a debate where my favorite part was closing statement. Well done William, God bless. Matt Slick God bless you too sir
This was 🔥William. God bless you and thank you for defending the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Eucharist. 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey
Tonight was the night Matt Slick ended his own career. Thank you, Brother William, for demonstrating the Truth and giving a platform for Slick to display his wicked behavior for people to avoid. God Bless
William you are brilliant. Thank you. Continue to defend our Catholic faith.
May God continue to bless you Bro. William! You make me see each time why Protestantism is definitely not for me anymore. Thank you for the work you do!
At 37:03 in regards to Saints hearing our prayers Matt says “we don’t know what they can and cannot do”. Yet Matt seems to be sure they cannot intercede for us.
Also in his opening statement he said there is no example in the bible (Protestant bible) of someone praying for the dead. Paul prays for Onesiphorus in 2 Timothy1 and the early church and even some modern Protestants believed Onesiphorus to be dead.
There’s also been a recent archeological discovery of some small scroll found north of the alps dated to the early 200’s. In the scroll the writer is seeking the intercession of St Titus. Demonstrating the belief in and practice of praying to “dead” saints for their intercession was an ancient belief of the earliest Christians PRIOR to the Bible having been compiled.
@@chad_hominemwow I had not heard of that until reading your comment!! And googled it and read the article!! That is absolutely incredible!!!
That has prayers to the saints, multiple claims of Jesus’ divinity, and it quotes Isaiah 6:3 “holy, holy, holy” and almost word for word quotes Philippians 2:10 at the end!!
That’s an early Christmas present right there reading about this discovery!!
God bless you, William. Thank you for your defense of the faith! I’m looking forward to completing the debate (just started the video.)
Matt had a humiliating debate with William. He ran to his notes and obfuscated from the topic of the debate from the start of Williams cross exam. Pray for Matt to repent from his pride and come to fullness of the truth which is the Church Christ Himself set up.
Bro was so arrogant at the beginning
Interesting that Matt’s position quickly went from “argue that the Bible teaches this” to “Argue against my personal interpretations.”
Exactly
When the early reformers, who hold the same Solas Matt claims to hold, believe in intercession(and some other Marian dogmas like her perpetual virginity), they must believe it is in the scriptures but Matt rejects this and says that he needs a word for word endorsement of intercession, otherwise he will go with his own interpretation as the only truth and everyone else is wrong, even Luther/Wycliffe etc
4500 articles of coal on his blog did not help him at all in this debate.
“You are the arbiter of truth, Matt” - classic.
I was called out by Matt because I simply told him that his Calvinist version of God predestined him to lose, and he got mad and wanted me to challenge him. I am down. Any good resources/videos to watch before I debate him on Calvinist arguments for predestination? Thanks!
And I think he did afirm the God made him lose
Shamoun vs Slick on Limited Atonement: ua-cam.com/video/Mv7mKJEjrwo/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
@@christopherpineda9216 idolkiller has good videos against Calvinism. And of course Sam has tons of videos and articles too
One of the most comprehensive web sites founded specifically to counter the false preachings of Calvinist is Leighton Flowers Soteriology101
So Matt does not accept William‘s appeal to the church fathers but Matt keeps bringing up “I've talked to 100 Catholics that's say xyz” … and doesn't see an issue with that according to his standard?
Mr. Slick did not engage with my superchat question I asked later in the video. The question was: What evidence is there that 2 Chronicles was considered the last book of the Hebrew Bible in Jesus’ time. I asked this because he used the classic “Blood of Abel” argument for the Protestant Canon.
His response was to quote some scholars (some of which very antiquated) who beg the question, and state the conclusion whose premises are the very thing I was asking evidence for.
To give some context, I did some research and found that the earliest evidence of Chronicles being the categorically last book comes from the Talmud, specifically a part from the 200s AD at the earliest. Most other sources from the 1st-6th century AD do not list Chronicles as being the last book of the Old Testament (Hebrew or Christian). If we take Melito’s Canon to be intended as a Jewish canon list, then we see an earlier source which contradicts the claim.
Phenomenal stuff. Thank you to you both; I am learning so much.
Might I say in addition however, thank you most especially to you William. Your channel is a rock unto itself I thank the Lord for having been guided to.
Get some rest, Big Guy. You’ve earned it true.
I wish that after every question, Matt didn't slide in a dig or rebut and then quickly ask another question.. Good on you, William, for not letting him get away with it.
I've seen william a lot in sam's channel but I don't know if he had a UA-cam channel😅 and now I discovered it and subscribe❤ thanks a lot brother William and sam because when prots attacked my faith I'm silent because I don't have an answer, and now I've been watching sam for 2 years now and Patristic Pillar is added to my list❤
matt got destroyed. he argued like a muslim. using argument from silence fallacy
god bless you william
William, I had never heard your name before this debate, I came here from Sam Shamoun who did a video about the absolute demolition that Matt suffered. I my self am a Greek orthodox, I just wanted to say that even me as an orthodox Christian am very impressed and glad that you argue on the behalf of God. The moment you absolutely destroyed him you gained yourself a new subscriber.
Amen ☦️
Sad, I didn't get to watch this live. I'm glad I'm getting to watch it now. William, thank you for always defending the faith. Your work is an inspiration to me.
One of the greatest tricks of the devil is to bend the truth to which it doesn’t hurt him.
Fantastic job William! God Bless you and your fighting spirit!
Thank you for the early Christmas gift William!
William proving once again that the BBQ is best over in Texas 🔥
Well done bro, was edifying listening to you defend our faith 🙏✝️
Matt slick attacked the man, not the argument. He was wrong the majority of the time. Does he not know that Protestants had their own Inquisition? It was really hard to take him seriously.
I am a Wesleyan Arminian Christian, who do not believe in petitioning the Virgin Mary for intercession. Having said that, William has enlightened me on what Catholics believe. Oh, and I don't believe in Calvinism. I reject it outright.
Slick reminded me of Dr. Brown when he debated William on purgatory basically saying ‘you’re not allowed to talk about any church fathers, counsels or tradition’. Same thing happened in that debate Brown refused to engage anything beyond ‘bible alone’. Talk about running and hiding.
Matt should have checked the definition of "intercession" and "intermediary" prior to the debate ... and saved us all time. Catholics do not claim Mary is our mediator - simple concept Matt fails to grasp. Excellent job William!
I can't believe that I missed this. Robert Sungenis' vs Matt Slick on Justification back in the day was hilarious.
Slick really manifesting 1:14:00 is crazy.. pray for this man.. and the Calvinists they have been led almost as astray as the Muslims
He said conjuring involves magic, but who uses magic to say, "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you."
Find it absolutely phenomenal and inspiring how calm and confident you stay talking with someone who is so confident you’re damned to hell.
Matt promoting the council of Ephesus on his page. Then William quotes it defending the Holy Theotokos. Brilliant.
Without any question Matt slick is totally lost and deceived.
Please Matt Repent, brother William , truthly the Holy spirt working . Pray for us Mother of God
Haven't listened yet, just adding to the algorithm👍👍
God Bless, William. Thank you for all your hard work!
I don't understand how Matt, using his Calvinist framework, can state unequivocally that Catholics are not saved when God has predestined who is "elect" and who isn't before they even were born. I don't see the correlation. Maybe I'm missing something 😅
I like how he said it's an argument from silence how we can say that God gives Mary the power to hear prayers but that can be reserved as there's nothing to say that God *can't* give Mary the power. He is actually arguing from silence.
William not allowing matt to be slick with his answers. Wow.
You mentioned in previous stream that you had a second channel with workouts videos. I need some catholics workout motivation, can you link the channel?
I don’t know why anybody debates Matt Slick. You can give a scripture and he can just disagree with any given interpretation. This is the madness of sola scriptura.
Dude, brother William, my Lord. I learned how to be a man today ... man, dude .. Great job. Amazing it true, you always mention know you christology and you'll have a good maryology amazing.
Not even trying to be disrespectful. How old is Matt he acts like one of my peers in undergraduate university
William thank you my brother. You and Sam Shamoun are two big reasons I started to understand the Catholic faith. I am now in OCIA Lord willing I will be confirmed at the Easter vigil. From one San Antonian to the next, God Bless you!
Amen an welcome
When he spurged out against Jesus in the Eucharist and called it pagan, that was the demon waving the white flag.
Paul prays for his dead friend Onesiphorus, so it isn’t just 2 Mac.
Praying for the repose of a deceased soul is different than asking for a deceased soul to pray for us. Not relevant to this discussion
I mention this because Slick said that this could only be found in 2 Mac.
@@ChristIsTheKingOfGlory also, notice that traditional Christians pray for the dead, but the theologically liberal Protestant often will not.
Matt states,”You don’t understand logic.” However, rejects the authority of the Catholic Church assembling the scripture, rejects Christ’s Church and authority (agree with New Testament but throw away what Calvin did not like), yet follows a man made religion from a twisted lawyer (Calvin) in the 16th century. Logical indeed.
Also, he goes on a rant at the end. Catholics understand the Bible far better than these Calvinist.
God bless you William for suffering matts smugness you delivered a masterclass ❤🙏
Another W for William! God Bless You 🫡
Matt Slick was utterly obliterated! Well done, William.
This guy was upset you "attacked" his Calvinism, but started the entire debate by calling you a damned heritic barred from heaven. Seems fair.
I did not expect this to go sooooooo bad for Matt slick
I will pray the Holy Rosary for Matt and for William. 🙏
I dont know how you had this much patience William, but again and again, you continually impress me with how intellectual but easy to understand your arguments are, that really destroys alot of the non sense arguments people like Matt come up with. Benedicamus Domino!
Easy debate, as always we all know who won 😂 my boy William 👌 when you have the TRUTH nothing can beat it. Keep going brother may god continue to bless you, a true warrior, always learning.
❤❤ love you William❤❤
“Erm that’s called eisegesis” I lost it holy cow 😂
Just as many in the early Church sought the mediation and intercession of mere human beings like Peter and Paul and their prayers and shadow and handkerchiefs, so too even now, for NOT EVEN DEATH CAN SEPARATE US! Especially the Mother of God, she who moved her Son and Lord to perform His public miracle, even though it was not yet His hour, touched by His Mother's compassion for the wedding couple, as the prayers of a righteous person have great power in it's effects, and those in Heaven are righteous! William destroyed the unbiblical teachings of Matt Slick!! Keep up the GOD work William! JMJ
No moderator against Matt slick 😂 great host and great job William 🇻🇦🙏✝️
holy smokes he couldn't wait to manifest, attempting to pretend like he was patient and "understanding" such lunacy
Sam Shamoun buried him Robert Sungenis buried him You buried him i think he is a masochist
Matt accuses William of not sticking to the debate topic after he himself decides to attack the Eucharist, the Priesthood, and Justification.
Terrific job exposing Matt Slick and his heretic beliefs here brother William, and doing it in humility and love. I hope Mr. Slick doesn’t mind, but I’ll pray a decade of the Holy Rosary and ask for healing for his wife’s health.
Wow. This was a total destruction of Matt and his terrible theology. Calvinism truly is from the pits of hell, since it is borrowing garbage arguments from various other heresies in Church history
“That was two dead people having a conversation!” Haha. Career. Over.
William I am disappointed... you promised a debate but the other side got murdered again.... I still have to see an actual debate that is not a lecture. Fantastic job, glory to Christ
One comment additional: LIKE the stream!!!
Didn’t like it? Dislike the stream!!!
All action helps the algorithm, so let’s spread the word.
God bless you all, and Merry Christmas!
Hopefully Matt see this, I’m praying for repentance of my heart and his as well. It’s really hard to see a man act this self destructive. Too much verbatim fallacies, association fallacies, false dilemmas and more, this is really hard to watch. Genuinely going to pray for u Matt
Well done William you’re a true gentleman. Classic, you buried him.
Some of the arguments Matt presented in this debate were below Dawah level. I’m sorry boss, but that was an atrocious effort.
I was in the stream. Matt looked like he was gonna cry. He spent his precious plug-in time to spout his untrue filth about Catholicism. That's how desperate he was. #retireslick
William, Good job.
As a Protestant, I admit that this was very insightful. I am truly bothered that most Protestant disregard church history.
The debate ended at 51:45. Matt picks and chooses the scriptures, councils, interpretations, and even his own “reformers”. I’m Orthodox but GBU William!☦️
this is so weird. You comment section claims you win, slick (debate review on cwjahtube) comment section claims slick won.
For being "logical," Matt committed a number of fallacies. The most prominent being the negative inference fallacy.
To super restrict the debate send a tactic of cowardice.
I.e. "if the bible doesn't specifically say it, it doesn't exist". At the same time "this is my body is pure symbolism"
Matt Slick gives James White a run for his money in both caricatures and when it comes to blatant refusal to answer questions that point out the circularity and contradictory foundation on which his faith is built.
I also feel like him calling out Sam the way he did warrants him having to debate Sam on SFT on a topic of Sam's choosing.
"I've done probably 100 moderated debates, or maybe 50".
So in other words, you've done 100 or half that lol.
What a way to introduce yourself.
Lol
Summary of Matt Slicks' starting position:
I am going to reject the books of the Bible that show the intercession of the Saints. I am then going to strip the entire Bible out of its historical and cultural context, teaching and understanding so I can apply a modern materialistic reinterpretation to it. I'm also going to ignore all of the early Church Fathers that attest to this practice of how the scriptures were interpreted by Christians because it doesn't align with my opinion.
Once I have done all of this, I can then show how this practice isn't biblical.
