In this, the final episode of our analysis of the conversion of Cameron Bertuzzi, we illustrate the absurdity of Suan Sonna’s Peter-Eliakim typological argument by proposing, absurdly, the Peter-Job typology, taking it to mean that Jesus was establishing a female priesthood. Thus, we illustrate the absurdity of the Peter-Eliakim argument through the absurdity of the Peter-Job typology, using Suan Sonna’s own methodology.

We conclude the series by offering a more scriptural understanding of Matthew 16, showing that all the phrases in Jesus’ conversation with Peter — upon this rock, bind and loose, gates of hell, keys of the kingdom —refer not to the power and authority of Peter but to the power and authority of the Word of the Father, the foundation of the Church.

For a more expansive analysis of that understanding, see Of Broken Hearts and Broken Shackles at the Trinity Foundation.

In this episode we continue our discussion on Cameron Bertuzzi’s conversion to Roman Catholicism, focusing on apologist Jimmy Akin’s argument for the silence of the Early Church on the Papacy, and Suan Sonna’s Peter-Eliakim argument from Matthew 16:19 and Isaiah 22:22. In Akin’s case, we show not only that the Early Church did not conceal or dither on the matter of the church hierarchy, but also was staunchly against any apparent fraud or deception in their communications, insisting that church officers should be mentioned by name and title so that the authenticity of each letter would not be called into question.

Moving on to Suan Sonna’s arguments, we examine his methods as he attempts to find Roman, Petrine, Apostolic Succession in Irenæus of Lyons, Cyprian of Carthage and Clement of Rome. Having demonstrated his predilection for assuming he is right, we demonstrate from his own arguments how he sets aside his own expressed standards of interpretation to justify an untenable position on the Peter-Eliakim typology.

One of our main cultural taboos is, “Don’t talk about politics or religion,” but the Christian just can’t seem to keep his mouth shut. Join us for the last episode of the decade as Tim Shaughnessy opens up about personal issues and the challenges of sharing your faith with loved ones who don’t want to hear it.

This episode is also brought to you by The Trinity Foundation and we would like to thank Tom Juodaitis for allowing us to publish this Sermon from the late Dr. Richard Bennett titled, “Justification and The Roman Catholic Doctrine of Salvation.”

We would also like to recommend the ministry founded by Dr. Bennett, Berean Beacon.
