  "The Bible says if you have 6 children, you have to become Catholic or Mormon" Trent just casually dropping facts.

  O I just love our Blessed Mother so much, how can you not? She&apos;s just so lovable🕊<br><br>I was an atheist and fully entrenched in the evils of the world for many years, but praise God the rosary and Our Lady of Guadalupe lead me to Christ and to truly love and believe in her Son.

  People on CC&apos;s channel were saying that Trent would definitely make a rebuttal to that video.<br><br>And Trent did not fail us, once again.

  The Greek Orthodox Church shares the same belief, but calls it &quot;The Dormition of the Theotokos&quot;. It&apos;s another example of the many things we share with our Catholic brethren.

  I&apos;m a recent convert. Ortlund&apos;s points are well articulated and reflect what my concerns were when joining the church. Sometimes I still experience these concerns. However, as Trent (person not the council) mentioned, pretty much everything that Ortlund said about Mary&apos;s assumption can be said about the New Testament canon, both in its lateness, the diversity of opinion as to which books were inspired, and so on. Moreover, while it was in the 4th Century that we see Athanasius give the exact NT canon, the church did not dogmatically declare the canon until the Reformation some 1200 years later.

  I always appreciate it when protestants can disagree with Catholics and Orthodox without being dishonest. The &quot;fight me IRL&quot; tough-guy way of argumentation, that has become disturbingly popular, is extremely off-putting and uncharitable, and Dr. Ortlund stays away from that, so props to him.

  I have to admit Mary was hard for me to accept, but the Rosary blew my mind

  Gavin&apos;s core objection seemed to be: &quot;I just don&apos;t think it&apos;s reasonable for a Church to <b>demand</b> that people believe a doctrine which I don&apos;t think has enough evidence.&quot;<br><br>This is what JWs and Oneness Pentecostals say about the Trinity, etc. <br><br>He&apos;s bringing up the ever-present issue of Authority, but wrapping it up in a specific dogma and using his opinion of that dogma to attack Authority obliquely instead of directly.

  No problem re audio only. Most of the time I’m listening rather than watching.

  It&apos;s funny when evangelicals take the pretense of being closer to the Bible and early Church without all these silly RC accretions when they always change quite substantially to be particular to their place and time, in this case 21st century America. They would look totally bizarre to Christians at any other time and place

  I&apos;m Catholic and the points about her not having bodily corruption are really good evidence to me. I never heard that before.
