The portion on assurance of salvation is 100% accurate. In my life as a protestant, which is the vast majority of my life, I had constant fears along the lines of "what if my conversion wasn't genuine?", especially as I sinned. When converting to Catholicism this past winter (confirmed at Easter Vigil), I was often asked "how will you have assurance of your salvation, how will you have peace?". Since crossing the Tiber, I have never felt more assurance of my state with God than following confession. Hearing the words of the priest in persona Christi, "Your sins are forgiven, go in peace" is the assurance I had always been lacking in the protestant world.

What is sad about people like Allen Parr is that they don’t have a public dialogue with other Catholics to discuss these issues. Instead, they stay in their echo chamber and beat up a strawman.

The irony of him wearing a "sola fide" t-shirt and then saying "After a person dies, their eternal fate is sealed BASED ON HOW THEY LIVED THEIR LIFE whenever they were living."

[wyattbenson]

Im Orthodox but It’s so nice getting to cheer on Catholic defenders against protestant attacks.

"Do this in remembrance of me"

1. Do what? "This"
2. What's "this"? Eating the bread and drinking the wine.
3. What does Jesus say the bread and the wine are? "His body and His blood"

I was banned from a 'Christian' discord server for posting this video in reply to someone posting Allen's original. Keep up your great ministry, Trent!

Allen Parr said the early Church didn't teach transubstantiation.

Tell me you haven't read early Christian writings (i.e., Church Fathers) without telling me you haven't read early Christian writings.

[nhatlienhoan]

The difference in tone is very clear. Most Protestant apologists I've watched use really high tone, loud voice, quick tempo just to "dominate" the audience, and most Catholic apologists I've watched use pretty calm, normal voice to speak just like giving the message, to need to "pressure".

The opposition in this video are day and night. For me, I prefer the more peaceful voice (plus the message).

As I am protestant, I'm usually an affiliate with the Gavin Ortlund Mafia, but I did really like the points you made here. I believe I actually agree with your wording more than that of Parr's in a number of areas. I appreciate that you make it clear not to treat all Protestants the same since it is a rather vast spectrum of belief. Thank you for being so charitable, Mr. Horn! Have a very blessed day as well!

I love this kinds of videos.. respect from catholic Croatia

I’m a professional videographer. Great lighting, Trent. Love it.

As a Protestant, I can safely say that it is a good idea to ignore Allen Parr a good majority of the time. 🤷 And also, thanks to my Catholic brethren for standing so doctrinally strong on the Incarnation. I ❤️ you forever for that. 👑

Coming from a southern Baptist background, I had no knowledge of "church history." Then I started to wonder what was the first church like? What was first apostle's church like? What was it like to seat with Jesus and listening to his teachings? I did not know Jesus in the southern Baptist church. This lead me to the Catholic Church and church history. I hope to join the true church one day.

I think the worst part is that allen mentions the 400 years of silence as fact and presents it as biblical, even though it is not explicitly in spcripture. What happened to sola scriptura

[JohnHenry-wm]

I applaud Trent Horn for his loving patience to respond to such weak and faulty arguments. As a manager I often fail to show so much kindness to such poor reasoning and research. A convert from Pentecostalism to the Catholic Church 😂

[KristinaLuvsBooks]

I’m so glad I’m not Protestant anymore. I’ve been catholic since 2022.

[neverclevernorwitty]

I think the main problem I have with Parr's arguments is they frequently assert "I don't think... <insert conclusion here>." He consistently places his own opinions as if it were an authority in of itself, there seems to be a lack of any true humility.

[miguelsemidei]

Mr Parr does one thing in his video... he says I THINK a lot, so it's all basically "his opinion".
I would like to see him explain away Eucharistic miracles.

Like a typical Calvinist, Allen hates Catholicism more than he loves Jesus Christ.
