Jay Dyer blocked me for correcting him about the canon, below. Apparently he’s extremely sensitive about the fact that the sect to which he belongs doesn’t have a closed, defined canon of Scripture.

Dont worry I know you cant follow an argument but your black supremacy cult isnt a church lol. Miming is not Apostolic

I watched the debate between Craig Truglia (@Craig_Truglia) and James White (@HwsEleutheroi), and White won it cleanly. I say this as a Catholic who values sacred art: Truglia hurt his own side. The question was whether icon veneration as defined by Nicaea II is apostolic. It was not whether early Christians had art in the catacombs. Of course they had art. The question was whether the apostles taught that you must kiss and bow before painted boards under pain of damnation. Truglia never proved they did. He tried to turn Galatians 3:1 into Paul holding up a physical crucifix, which has no connection to the Greek text. He called Peter's shadow in Acts a monochrome icon, which just sounded desperate. He leaned on Dionysius the Areopagite as a first-century source, when scholarship across the board dates that corpus to around 500 AD. Then in cross-examination he spent his time attacking the Protestant canon and believer's baptism instead of defending his own thesis. White stayed on topic. He showed how Nicaea II ripped Basil of Caesarea out of context. Basil was arguing that Christ is the true image of the Father to prove the Trinity, not telling Christians to kiss wooden panels. White was also right to bring up the politics and the bad, forged sources used at Nicaea II — sources Rome itself took centuries to untangle with the Frankish church. You don't defend Christian tradition by inventing bad history and twisting Scripture. White held the line, called out the bad arguments, and walked away with the win.
