The Roman Catholic Mass: Is it Biblical? (DVD)

TylerJohnson — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:51:01 +0000

James White debates Roman Catholic Apologist Robert Sungenis on the biblical and historical merits of the Mass. This debate deals with vital topics like:

• What is the history of the Mass?
• What about transubstantiation?
• Why is the Mass called a sacrifice?
• Can a priest “re-present” Christ on the altar?
• How did the early church view the “Eucharist”?

Was the sacrifice of Christ a “once for all” event or is it to be repeated over and over as in the Roman Mass?

Purgatory: Roman Catholic Myth or Biblical Truth? DVD

TylerJohnson — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 18:57:42 +0000

“For centuries the Roman Church-State taught most of the faithful would have to go to purgatory to receive final cleansing from sin before they would be allowed to see God. Nothing, declared the Reformers was more repugnant then this teaching which they saw as adding to the works of Christ and words to the Bible. Dr. James R. White is brilliant in his analysis and response. This is a debate you will watch again and again.” — Jerry Johnson, President, NiceneCouncil.com

This is the famous/infamous “pay now, pay later” debate, so named for Dr. Stravinskas’ response to a question regarding a passage from Tobit. This debate drifts off of Purgatory to the underlying issue of authority and Rome’s claim to it. This 3-DVD set contains a very eye-opening dialogue highlighting the difference between the biblical gospel and Rome’s gospel of self-righteousness.

“Well said and well done my brother. Thank you for sharing the truth.” – Comment from YouTube

Seeking to restore a right view of God’s sovereignty to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the web-series Against the World, is extremely popular with 80,000+ views. We are convinced that true reformation and spiritual awakening will not come until the Church acknowledges that God is the author and finisher not only of our faith, but of history and we hope to stand contra mundum (Against the World) while spreading this message. With 45 episodes, Season 1 of Against the World is a must have for your library.

Are Roman Catholics Our Brothers & Sisters in Christ (DVD)

JerryJohnson — Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:04:39 +0000

Does Trinitarian baptism join you to the New Covenant? Does it join you to Christ? Does it make you a brother or sister in Christ with everyone else who has likewise been baptized, even if you hold to a false gospel? Are Roman Catholics our brothers and sisters in Christ by Baptism, regardless of the gospel they believe? Why did the early Reformers believe Roman baptism was valid? Why did the later framers of the Westminster Confession and Second London Baptist Confession refer to the Papacy as the seed of anti-Christ?

Join Reformed Baptist scholar Dr. James R. White and Doug Wilson of Christ Church Moscow, ID (one of the leading advocates of Federal Vision theology) in this very lively and informative debate as they discuss these and other related issues.

“This is truly one of the best debates we have ever seen! It is fast moving and extremely informative. Both participants did a masterful job of laying out their positions and responding to the others objections with grace and humility. You will watch it again and again.” — www.NiceneCouncil.com

The Power of the Pope: Roman Catholicism, the Reformation and the Question of Authority DVD

JerryJohnson — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 14:42:39 +0000

The Protestant Reformers insisted that the Bible alone was the Word of God and the final authority in all matters of life and faith. The Roman Catholic religion said, yes, the Bible is the Word of God, but, God also speaks through the Pope who holds the authority of the Apostle Peter given to him by Christ in Matthew Sixteen. So, did Christ give Peter the authority the Papacy claims? Was Peter the “rock” spoken of by Christ?

The claims of the Roman Pontiff to this point caused the men who authored the Westminster Confession of Faith to respond with these words in chapter 25:6, “There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ. Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God.”

In this formal debate, Roman Catholic apologist Mitchell Pacwa and Reformed scholar James R. White discuss the issue of the Papacy and authority. Over the next few hours you will not only enjoy the spirit of the discussion, but will find a plethora of information relating to Biblical exegesis and church history which will enable you to better defend your position (especially if you are Reformed).

Pioneers Of The Spirit: Dante Alighieri (DVD)

JerryJohnson — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 13:50:27 +0000

Throughout history a few special individuals have felt a spiritual longing so profound that nothing could satisfy their hunger. Facing uncharted territory, they mapped their own souls, seeking that mystical place where the self meets the divine. We call them Pioneers of the Spirit.

Born in Florence, Italy, Dante first saw Beatrice in 1274 when he was nine years old, and she became the inspiration for his later poetic works. Her death in 1290 was a profound shock to Dante. He was a soldier for a while and entered politics where he sided with the enemies of Pope Boniface VIII. He was eventually banished from Florence. His best known work is the perennial classic, The Divine Comedy — the poet’s imaginary journey to hell and purgatory.
