  • This is from a debate between James White and Tim Staples which focused upon the following question: Can Papal Infallibility Stand Under the Weight of Church History?
    This debate took place after their first debate on sola scriptura. This is the cross examination period from the debate. It was somewhat intense and high spirited, which I found to be quite enjoyable.

    James White proved himself wrong. He said that the "God has led His *PEOPLE* to recognize not through the use of an infallible authority or some authority external to Scripture but through the guidance of his people in a passive way to recognize that which He inspired."
    He just admitted that God inspires PEOPLE to recognize what is canon and what isn't. That "people" is the Magisterium. Then, he says that it's "not through the use of an infallible authority." So the Holy Spirit isn't infallible? Then, he says it's "not through the . . . some authority external to Scripture." Really? How is the "guidance of his people" to recognize canon in Scripture? WHERE IN SCRIPTURE IS THAT?

      @Christopher, great observations. I missed some of them. In the end, White crumples whenever attempting to answer this question Staples put to him because there is no possible way to account for the Cannon while relying on Sola Scriptura. I love Staples, but I honestly believe White is a better debater. White's problem is that he has to defend logically unsound positions such as the Cannon can be established without an Infallible Visible Church with Authority given it by Christ.

    White makes an error that he probably forgot about. Jews didn’t have a unified canon. Different groups held different canons. He makes it seem like the same smooth process that happened with Old happened with New.
    This is why Luther and others during his time, even Catholics, questioned some of the books of the New Testament. If it was so obvious, everyone would know. Everyone didn’t. He used this as an argument that since so many questioned, say, Revelation, he could too.

      Williamstdog9, the Jews did not know the Canon of Scripture in Jesus's day. There were many competing versions of the Canon among different sects of Jews as there still is today. Before Christ and during Jesus' days on Earth, the Sadducces only accepted the 5 books of Moses as scripture. The PHARISEES accepted the Prophets and writings as Scripture and the Essenes accepted an additional different list of Books in their Canon. To this day the Jews in Africa ( sometimes called Beta Israel) accept a different Canon than that accepted by Rabbinical Judaism. Beta Israel includes in their Canon Books James White rejects as non-Canonical such as Sirach which was quoted as scripture by Rabbis in " Rabbinical Judaism" until the closing of their Canon in the late 300's. For lack of a better term "Rabbinical Judaism" here indicates the form of Judaism which grew out of the Pharisees and has dominated post temple Judaism in Europe, the Holy Land, and the Mediterranean world since the diaspora. Beta Israel is a different school & culture of Judaism whose members are also descended from Abraham .

      Jews didn't magically "know" on their own what was scripture. If a person came declaring himself a prophet, priests had to confirm the prophethood of the person. It wasn't about whether jews en masse accepted the prophethood of someone. The Jews also had a Sanhedrin of Priests, Pharisees and Sadducees to adjudicate. The Jews closed this scriptural canon not until 300AD, where they rejected the New Testament, threw out 7 books from the old.

    Around 4:33, White presents a silly pre-fab response he uses as a go-to every time he is faced w the obvious fact that it was the aurhority of a visible Church which established the Cannon for Christians. For all the Prots who think his answer is compelling, please remember, the Jews at the time of Jesus had no consensus as to what their Cannon of sacred writtings were. For example, the Saduccees only accepted the Torah as their Cannon, while the Pharisees accepted the Prophets and other books as part of their Cannon. There was no infallible aurhority on Earth for the Jews and consequently, they had no infallible list of Sacred writings. That was God's will. The Jews also never practiced Sola Scriptura and consequently, the lack of a fixed and agreed upon Cannon was not nearly as vital for them as it is for "Bible Alone" Christians. Sola Scriptura can't work without simultaneously knowing exactly which books constitute Scripture. AND that is exactly why Sola Scriptura fails since Scripture itself does not anywhere tell us what the Cannon is. The silly unfounded go to assertion that God's people just know what the Cannon is ( which is pulled out of nowhere by White and others. White didn't invent this argument) never works. Apparently, Luther who "restored" the" true " Gospel of Sola Fide was not one of God's people since he didn't know that Hebrews, James, and Revelation were part of the Bible and tried to remove them from the Cannon just as he removed Books from the OT which he didn't like. I know many will concede Luther may not have been one of God's people despite simultaneously believing Luther was used by God to restore the true Gospel from the "corruption" of the Catholic Church. Ok, but that doesn't account for the fact that there has always been disagreement about the Cannon among Christians from the earliest Centuries. The Book of Revelation did not receive General acceptance among Christians until the 300's AD. To this day Churches in the East have a different Cannon than both Protestants and Catholics. All those folks who don''t know the infallible Cannon are/were not the people of God? Really??????? Many of those people who accepted a different Cannon and had doubts about certain controversial books like Revelation (and others) played a vital role in the development of Christian doctrine such as our understanding of the Trinity, but White would ask you to believe they weren't really Christians. You White fans buy that argument? So silly. Either come up with a better argument or just concede that a Visible Authority has to establish the Cannon. Remember what Paul wrote 1Tim3:15 the Church is the " Pillar and Foundation of the Truth." God established the Cannon by His Inspiration of a fixed number of Sacred Texts. His Church tells His People which Books are in the Cannon by the authority He gave to His Body guided by the Holy Spirit. You can try to get around that, but you never will. In the end, You will always be stuck with R C Sproul's go-to response to this existential challenge facing all promoters of the man-made doctrine of Sola Scriptura. White's go to is discussed above and is essentially a simple dodge. It ignores the question of how th Christian can know which Books are part of the Cannon when that list has been disputed at various times and is still a matter contested between Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox. When faced with the question of the Cannon, as an advocate of Sola Scriptura, Sproul' s go-to was : "We have a fallible list of Infallible Books." That is the best you can do if you accept Sola Scriptura and it doesn't work. Just try to make it work. If the list is fallible how can you be sure the texts used to build your theology really should be considered as Inspired? BTW, Catholics don't believe we merit our way into Heaven. If we have faith in Christ and live out what Paul called "the obedience of faith," God applies to us the merits Christ won for us on the Cross. It really is very similar to your understanding of the matter.

    Matthew 16:18-19
    New International Version
    18 And I tell you that you are Peter,and on this rock I will build my church,and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
    Acts 20:28
    New International Version
    28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,which he bought with his own blood.
    1 Timothy 3:15
    New International Version
    15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
    Galatians 1:6-9
    New International Version
    No Other Gospel
    6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

    English Standard Version
    22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness

    Matthew 7:15
    “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
    1 John 4:1
    Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
    Matthew 24:24
    For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
    2 Peter 2:1
    But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
    1 John 4:1-6
    Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. ...
    2 Corinthians 11:13-15
    For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
    Matthew 24:11
    And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.
    Deuteronomy 18:20-22
    But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’- when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.
    2 Timothy 4:3
    For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

    Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord.
    Deuteronomy 18:20
    But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’
    Revelation 19:20
    And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
    Romans 16:18
    For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
    Luke 6:26
    “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
    Jeremiah 14:14
    And the Lord said to me: “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.
    Mark 13:22
    For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
    Revelation 20:10
    And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
    2 Peter 2:3
    And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
    Mark 7:6-9
    And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!

    James White from the start begs the question regarding the canon of scripture. He presumes without evidence a fixed OT canon at the time of Jesus. The OT books are not fully accounted by the statements of Christ, and the Apostles. So, his initial argument for a certainty of the canon is post hoc ergo proctor hoc. But White talks so fast, most people aren't going to notice.

      (2) Others that Jesus also sent out with power and authority to preach / teach (any remaining from the 70, etc.). (3) Any prophets in the church. (4) Any called as Apostles, like Paul.
      All could be sources of inspired writing. We also know for certain that there were prophets and prophecies given in the early church (in 1 Cor., in the calling of Paul and Barnabas, etc.).
      So, there were plenty of human resources for inspired writings. But the number of those who could write was probably quite limited. So, selection of works recognized as divinely inspired would have been limited; and probably made more limited by Roman destruction of Christian writings.
      I don't have more time to spend on this. But it gives a rough picture of what would have gone on prior to counsels that officially recognized sacred literature with which the Church grew up.

    Biblical argument for the canon of Scripture Hebrews 12:1“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience: the race that is set before us,” Jude 1:3“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Notice" so many witnesses e.g., Aramaic, Greek, Coptic, Latin, and other churches in the majority have received 27 books once delivered, so the 27-book canon agrees with Scripture. Paul, say we received the oracles of God from the Jews, so the Protestant OT books agree with Scripture. The mayor of Vatican City not so much. And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

Jesus also said he would send the advocate, the Holy Spirit, to guide the apostles and remind them of everything he taught them. So...one of the perspectives being defended here contains all of the truth. I'm not saying Dr. White doesn't have elements of truth he is defending, I believe he does. However, Tim Staples is defending the truth that Jesus transmitted to the apostles, which is protected by the promise that the Holy Spirit would guide them into ALL of the truth. Also, there is nothing wrong with having a conviction that what you stand for is without error. For example, it would be a shame to have a defense attorney of a truly innocent defendant to take an attitude of "I don't know...we might be wrong, I'm just going to coast through this case but chances are the plaintiff is right." No way, that would be absurd! It's naive to ridicule these men for having an intellectual debate and to say that conviction is no good. Conviction is at the heart of debating and of Christianity.

      Tim admits that the early church had tradition. It at one point wanted to make it official and so the canon was created. The canon was already in existence by the power of God argues James. The fact that the councils canonized scripture did nothing to effect the fact that those books were still scripture before canonization nor did the councils that dedided on the matter require an infallibility doctrine nor a single infallible person to dictate the books.

      Imagine, Einstein, writes all his math discoveries down, teaches a group of people. Then 1500 years later, another group comes around, and says nah, he was wrong, in fact, he was so wrong, we consider him evil.

      @@dmal-ty5qw If only your narrative was actually what happened.
      First, in the early church their were three "churches." The church of Rome, the Antioch church, and the church in Alexandria. Not only did they had their own power centers, they have their own power centers now. Catholic, Orthodox, Coptic. Traditions passed by word of mouth previous to the writings are not recorded, by nature being "word of mouth," and so don't really add anything to the conversation and is all speculative. Both the Catholics and the Protestants and I assume the other two "aposolic" churches believe in the scriptures as the "word of God." But those churches didn't write or have any input on them. They were written by the authors ascribed to them or by their scribes. Many doctrines of the Catholic Church are also not traced back to the beginning. They came hundreds of years later and the current church tries to justify them by returning to the Bible.
      Now if you remember the church in the middle ages actually kept the common folk from the Bible. Shucks they couldn't even understand the language of the mass. Luther could read the scripture though and he simply saw that the church had strayed from it. It had become an organism of its own making over the years. I'm sure it started out pure but is no longer.
      Look, I'm not stupid and neither are you. Both of us can read the Bible for ourselves. We can study the Greek and the Hebrew and we can decide for ourselves. The only way to justify that the present Pope is somehow better situated than an equally intelligent and educated Protestant is by claiming an authority for the Pope that I don't think he has and nor do the other two Apostolic Churches.
      So I think your analysis is poor. The current CC is no more "the group of believers that the Bible was originally made for..." then any other church. We all are separated from the authors by 2000 years.
      On that subject, Paul in the scriptures says directly to reject those who begin to preach a different gospel even if its Paul himself. Therefore we are told in scripture to test teachings according to them and if they are wanting then reject them. That is the current Catholic Church. It has added to the Bible (something that Jesus went after constantly with the Pharisees) and claimed its authority to do so is absolute. B.S. Its a great power structure that they've set up but it ain't true. There is nothing incoherent in what I say.
      Now for your comparison to Einstein, its a bad comparison. With Einstein you are talking about known and empirical facts or theories. Its not the same thing as teaching passed down over a 1000 years that contain contexts far removed from ours.
      The easier route is to submit to the church and not be required to think for themselves and figure things out, but again that is what the scripture tells us to do, "work out your salvation in fear and trembling." You really confuse the original teachings with the teachings of the modern Catholics. They AREN'T the same thing. I don't say this flippantly. This has come from hard study. I have nothing against the Catholic Church other then where it has departed from scripture.
      It comes back to this. Answer this question... What comes first... Scripture or the Catholic church?
