Theo has asked me, "How do you know?" His question has been in reference to the books that belong in the canon of Scripture. In this U-Tube clip, Gerry Matatics asked Dr. White a similar question. How does Dr. White know Jesus Christ rose from the dead. He also asks about the Canon as well.
Now keep in mind the context of the debate and their respective presuppositions. Gerry, the Roman Catholic, starts with Rome and Dr. White starts with God's Word. Because of Gerry's presuppositions, he is able to say that Mary's Assumption is parallel to Christ's resurrection. He can't demonstrate this to be so historically, yet notice how Protestants are held to this kind of fallacious reasoning. No historical evidence for Mary's assumption is brought forth, yet Gerry somehow knows this to be true.
Gerry even uses the "Matthew wrote Matthew" argument, yet never shows that Rome teaches infallibly that Matthew wrote Matthew (as if that were even relevant).
At the end Dr. White asks for just one church father for testimony to this belief of Mary's Assumption. Gerry offers nothing. Let's face it. Gerry doesn't have to. Rome has spoken.
