Can God do miracles — unless Catholics believe in them?

That's the trap Calvinist theologian François Turretin falls into. In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard and Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong take apart Turretin's argument that transubstantiation is literally impossible — even for an omnipotent God.

Spoiler: it collapses completely.

They work through four key arguments:

1. Miracles go beyond ordinary experience — by definition
2. The Eucharist involves both substance and appearances
3. Strange ≠ impossible (Turretin confuses the two)
4. If you believe any biblical miracle, the Eucharist is no different

Jesus walked on water. Peter walked on water. A blind man saw through mud and spit. And Turretin wants to tell God what he can't do?
