In a follow up to our debate with Sam Shamoun on Mary's perpetual virginity, Dan and Turretinfan respond to Sam Shamoun on his argument on Psalm 69:8-9. Psalm 69:8-9 is Messianic and it says the Messiah has become "alien to my mother's sons". We argue this mean Jesus had biological brothers. We respond to Eusebius' comments and then to Sam's comments. Here's a link to the debate and then a link to Sam's follow up comments:

Response to Sam Shamoun on Psalm 69:8-9

In this episode, we discuss Matthew 26:53-54 and in what sense Christ is able to call down angels, given His prophesied death must happen. The discussion gets into the nature of ability and the logical relationship between prophecies and foretold events. Here’s the passage: 53 Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” 
Here’s an outline of our discussion. 
(00:02:02) Dan’s overview – Christ, personally, is able to call down angels, but logically, given the prophecies, we know for sure He will not 
(00:10:04) Turretinfan’s overview – context of Peter’s cutting off an ear and comparison with other gospel accounts and some caveats. 
(00:32:52) Discussion of “it must be so” – Turretinfan advocates a sense of moral obligation, Dan advocates a sense of a necessary logical implication given the prophecy 
(00:59:50) Discussion of the sense in which Christ can call down angels – Turretinfan advocates it’s possible within an impossible hypothetical scenario and Dan advocates Christ’s actual personally ability.

Matt 26:53-54 - How can Christ call down angels, given His prophesied death must happen?

This is part 2/2 of my response to Kerrigan Skelly on Original Sin and Psalm 58:3.  Mr. Skelly challenges Calvinists to exegete this passage, but when we do we discover that, contrary to Mr. Skelly's assertions, the text does support the doctrine of original sin.

This is a response to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7h5o0Ononc - a video that seems to suggest that we cannot use Hebrews 1:8 to establish the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. I respectfully but firmly disagree, for the reasons I set forth in more detail in video (sorry, audio only, plus a slideshow in case you must watch something).
