[Ask Mr. Religion]

James White schools the Romanist's apologetic methods (start at 3:42 minutes in):

Highlights of the correctives given to the young man calling in to the program:

- Oral tradition unfounded
- Sola ecclesia is Rome's position "We said it. It must be right."
- Maybe seven verses (debatable at that) in all of Scripture defined infallibly by Rome
- Use of ECF is only "tradition" when Romanists quote them
- Rome defines "tradition" By what authority? Rome says so
- Rome misrepresents sola scriptura
- Rome admits revelation has ceased, yet denies Scripture as the only authority
- Rome's dogmatic "traditions", e.g., assumption of Mart, find no warrant in Scripture
- Works-based salvation denies workmanship of God in all believers
- Romans 4:4 and forward - Rome makes God a debtor - Romanists cannot answer "who is the blessed man of Romans 4"? Hint: it is not Jesus Christ. Romanists can only answer "Well, I hope to be" contra the teachings in Rom. 4
- Rome has no offering of true peace as there is no finished work of Christ in its dogma
- Matthew 16:18 - focus is not upon who Peter is, but who Jesus is, but Rome ignores the grammar and how the early church understood these things. See also: http://www.amazon.com/The-Matthew-16-Controversy-Peter/dp/1879737256
- no papacy in early church http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=623151555428
