Summary

I'll demonstrate how NOT to do typology by using examples of Catholic apologists twisting the Bible out of shape to squeeze the dogmas about Mary into the scripture. The types of Mary are supposedly the New Eve, the Ark of the New Covenant and the Queen Mother. But when we examine them we see that they not only aren't types, they don't give the dogmas that Catholic apologists pretend they do. From the "New Eve" they want to say that Mary was immaculately conceived (that she was born without sin and never sinned through her life). From the "Ark of the New Covenant" they want to say she was perpetually a virgin (even after Jesus' birth) and that she was taken bodily up into heaven at the end of her life. From the "Queen Mother" they want to say she is exalted to the right hand of Jesus and can intercede for us today. Here are the links to the Catholic sources I mentioned in this teaching. "Dr. Scott Hahn The Virgin Mary Revealed Through Scripture" https://youtu.be/o48-Jo2p9wM Article on The National Catholic Register titled "Amazing Parallels Between Mary and the Ark of the Covenant" http://www.ncregister.com/blog/darmstrong/amazing-parallels-between-mary-and-the-ark-of-the-covenant Article on the Catholic Answers web site called "Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant" https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/mary-the-ark-of-the-new-covenant Article from Catholic Answers called "Is Mary's Queenship Biblical?" https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/is-marys-queenship-biblical

0:00.0	I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking
0:05.8	biblically about everything. Okay as you guys know I love typology I love love typology but it's potentially really dangerous and I think it
0:16.7	be irresponsible of me if I didn't in this long series on Jesus in the Old
0:20.8	Testament if I didn't just take at least one message and just deal with the dangers of typology.
0:25.8	So that's what we're going to do today because some people radically abuse typology to spread false teachings.
0:31.8	They use it to manipulate and deceive people so that people
0:34.8	think something's biblical when it's not. And that's what I wanted to deal with today.
0:40.1	I don't know if you've noticed, but I try to have careful protections as I'm
0:44.3	finding a type in the Old Testament you know and sharing it with you as to what it
0:49.3	might be or how that relates to Christ I have protections, but here's how this happens, how
0:54.0	typologies abuse. That's what we're going to focus on today. In particular, we're going to talk about
0:57.6	the Catholic Church because I think they're not someone I want to pick on, but when it comes to
1:02.1	Mariology, that's the best example of abusing
1:05.4	typology that I've ever seen, is in the specific teachings about Mary.
1:09.6	So we'll get into that today.
1:10.9	Here's how it happens, right?
1:12.6	When your church or the group that you're involved with
1:15.2	has teachings that everyone in your group accepts,
1:18.2	but one day you ask, how do I find that in the Bible? And then you start looking and searching and you go, I can't
1:25.3	find this in the Bible. I'm starting to worry that this teaching may not be biblical, may not be true.
1:31.0	But you know, false use of typology rescues them by going into the text and saying well
1:36.2	it's not clearly taught in scripture but it's pictured there and it's not that
