James White vs. Mary's Prayers | The Jimmy Akin Podcast

The Jimmy Akin Podcast | Episode 025 (March 10, 2025) This week, Jimmy has an update on Protestant apologist James White and his claim that the Virgin Mary has no idea that people on Earth are asking for her intercession (originally dealt with in Episode 17). Jimmy and James had a discussion on X about this topic, and although James stopped responding when Jimmy asked him to confirm his understanding of James’s position, James did provide at least some kind of case for his claim. In this episode, Jimmy looks at the discussion and considers the arguments James used. He steel-mans them to give them the best possible chance of working, but do they? Are they consistent with the evidence we have from the Bible? Has James White finally provided a compelling proof that Mary does not know people are asking her to intercede? Or does James’s position actually conflict with Scripture? Watch this episode and find out!
