Jacob Prasch responds directly to claims made by Roman Catholic apologist Brian Mercer and issues a challenge: let’s debate the issues publicly, fairly, and from the text of Scripture.
In this extended response, Jacob examines James 2 and the relationship between faith and works, arguing that genuine saving faith produces action but that salvation itself is a gift of grace, not something earned. He also addresses the Roman Catholic understanding of the Eucharist, the Mass, papal authority, priesthood, purgatory, Mary, tradition, and the sufficiency of Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice.
Jacob’s challenge is simple: no personal attacks, no hiding behind labels. A properly moderated public debate, with independent verification of the biblical languages, and let the audience weigh the arguments for themselves.
