#12919 Can We Pray to Saints? Sola Scriptura and the Incarnation - Jimmy Akin
Jimmy Akin discussed the biblical basis for praying to saints and the implications of the Immaculate Conception on the incarnation during a recent episode of Catholic Answers Live.
The program addressed whether the lack of specific biblical instructions to pray to saints serves as a valid argument against the practice, specifically in response to positions held by Gavin Ortlund. Akin also examined how Christ could assume sinful flesh if the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is true. Additionally, the episode provided perspective for those finding Catholic doctrines, such as the filioque, difficult to analyze or understand.
