The date is as confused as Beckwith.
I listened as far as him speaking of sola scripture needing to be seen in wide context of doctrine. Then he wadered straight off into the weeds.
I feel sorry for those "Protestants" who must have never received baptism of the Holy Ghost personally themselves, then fall prey to the supposition that it is somehow present in the workings and Admin of the Roman Catholic Church.
There can be Spirit there...but for all of it (all that ecclesiastical body has done) and what it has become?
No way, Jose. It's still trying to drag itself out of the Dark Ages. It wasn't that long ago that a person could not hear that central portion -- called the mass -- in their own language. People were discouraged from reading the scripture -- for centuries! The Apostle Paul recommended no such practice, in fact Paul highly praised those who sought out the scripture to see if what he was saying was true or not.
Jan Hus was right on this score -- and the Roman Catholic Church finally agrees. It only took more about 500 years. What a shame. Is God that stupid?
No He is not.
But all the extra junk (how mankind can seriously screw things up) was not "His" plan in the first place (even as He knew what would indeed happen) with it being as the preacher said, as is written;
Ecclesiastes 7:29
Matthew 13:3-9 “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.
Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear.”
Not all seed falls on good soil.
That's the only reason the guy would have turned his back on a profession of faith in Christ. It never took to begin with.
