I truly love your videos Bryan, I recently converted from the pentecostal church. I’m going to a wonderful Catholic Church, You’re videos are so knowledgeable and very helpful for me to understand. God bless you and your family.

[DadoMac]

Hats off to you. You present your argument that can easily understood even by laymen (like me).

[Irelandwithoutborders]

I was waiting for this video. Thank you, Catholic truth. Thank you, God.

[ritav]

The Word was with God in the beginning. Jesus is the Word. Jesus is not the Bible. The Bible is only a small part of "The Word" (Truth Himself). Thank you Bryan!

[Sole-txcx]

SPOT ON!!! I always make the SAME arguments! Protestants are prideful. It's their pride that drives them. Pride is the worst sin of all. It is the sin of Satan. The sin of pride is what blinds them from the Truth.
It is pride and/or hat or they have some sin or issue that cannot confront, so they must pursue a religion of "Faith alone" - once saved always saved

[BaxterBolton]

Jesus knew of scripture. HE even read and quoted from it, yet never once said "Write down everything I tell you, mass produce it, distribute them to as many people as possible and let them draw their own conclusions"

The Bible wasn't mass produced till somewhere in the late 1400's early 1500's (if I'm not mistaken) so did God leave all those people because they had no Bible to follow?

The over 30, 000 protestant denominations all follow the same Bible, so apparently, just following it doesn't bring you to the TRUTH

[ronnies]

Awesome topic. “Where’s that in the Bible?”
That question gets so old.

Don't forget that Sola Scriptura is deficient in other ways, also. Let's look at what Catholic Apologists do, and don't, typically cover in their critiques:

1. Catholic apologists have covered that Scripture doesn't include any passage expressing the idea that Jesus intends Christians in every century to come to know the content of the Christian religion through exegesis of the Scriptures.

2. Catholic apologists have covered that Scripture doesn't include any passage specifying any standard by which Christians can know which books do, and don't, belong in the canon of Scripture.

3. Catholic apologists _don't_ usually mention the fact that Scripture lacks any passage specifying a way to distinguish between _required_ Christian doctrines ("dogmas, " which denial of means one is excluded from the community of the Christian faithful) and _topics open to speculation_ (matters of interest wherein differing opinions don't require a separation from common communion). Yet this information is _required_ for Sola Scriptura to function. The lack of it means Sola Scriptura can't function; and that means it was designed by someone _fallible, _ even _unwise._ If Jesus designed it, then He would be too fallible and unwise to be God; but, He is God; therefore, He never intended Sola Scriptura.

4. Catholic apologists _don't_ usually mention the fact that Scripture lacks any passage specifying what it _means_ for a document to be "God-breathed"/theopneustos, or to be "inspired, " or to be "inerrant, " or whether those are all the same thing, or different things, or which ones of those descriptors apply to any/all of the books in the canon. Consequently, these ideas have been understood in varying ways by different Christians, and Scripture offers us no guidance as to who's right. Obviously a person who thinks Scripture can err is going to interpret his way to a different religion than a person who thinks Scripture cannot err. But a person who thinks Scripture can err in incidental historical details, but is only inerrant on matters pertaining to salvation, will interpret his way to a different Christianity than the person who thinks it can never err in any fashion! Therefore, Scripture fails to specify a _foundational hermeneutical principle_ which it _must_ specify, for Sola Scriptura to be true. Therefore, Sola Scriptura is false.

5. Catholic apologists _do_ mention the problem of "Perspecuity"; i.e., the fact that the differences among well-meaning sincere Protestants about _what the Bible means_ proves beyond any doubt that the Scriptures are _insufficiently clear_ to serve as a reliable means to communicate the required content of the Christian religion to the faithful of every century. But Catholic apologists often _fail_ to mention a _subset_ of the Perspecuity problem; namely, the lack of any canonical passage offering guidance (or any limiting-principle) on Typology, or on the Spiritual Senses of Scripture. That Typology and Spiritual Senses are _legitimate_ is clear: They're used by Christ Himself, by St. Paul, and by the author of Hebrews (presuming that isn't also Paul). This suggests that we can't _exclude_ such an approach to interpreting Old Testament passages, or possibly New Testament ones; but, it brings with it the danger of reading fanciful associations into every passage that the Holy Spirit never intended! How shall we distinguish between the legitimate and illegitimate uses of such a hermeneutic? If Sola Scriptura were true, then _Scripture would have to tell us._ But it doesn't. Therefore Sola Scriptura is false.

Taken together, these observations show us that the idea of communicating the required doctrines of the Christian religion to earnest believers of every century by means of Sola Scriptura was invented by a fallible human, with no clear sense of what such a system would really require.

I have learned so much from your channel. I grew up on solos escritura. Preacher kids…. I received all my sacraments 2 years ago today on Easter Vigil. Thank you for your work! Praise God I am home:)

The doctrine of sola scriptura encourages a "what I want to believe" mindset when approaching your faith. This is why we see so many denominations and church hopping within the non-Catholic sphere of Christianity. Everyone is just looking for "their truth" rather than the truth. Sola scriptura encourages the Christian to just keep looking for a church that interprets scripture the way they want it to be interpreted. Furthermore, if that kind of Christian can't find a church, they just call themselves "non-denominational" and go their own way. Sola scriptura is not about following the word of God, it's about following your self-interpretation of the word of God.

Catholicism, on the other hand, encourages a "what you ought to believe" mindset when approaching your faith. It asks its faithful to have a submission of will/intellect, as well as an ascent of faith.

Now, I'll leave it up to anyone reading this to determine if a "what I want to believe" or a "what I ought to believe" mindset is more Christ-like when approaching the Christian faith. But I think most people already know the answer.

Christ gave His apostles authority and the keys of the kingdom of heaven. That manifested itself as the Catholic Church. The Protestant Reformation was the act of Man trying to steal that God-given authority away from the church and put in the hands of the layman.

I'm sorry Protestants have been lied to about the Catholic Church and I'm even more sorry that they believe those lies. Good news is, if a person is willing to approach their faith with a "what I ought to believe" mindset, they can come home.

Hello Bryan. Thanks for your video on Protestantism. Your channel is the main reason why I converted to Catholicism. I also enjoyed your response to sedevacantist claims on the validity if the new rite. Can you please make a video refuting the idea that Cardinal Siri was elected pope in 1958 papal conclave? I can't find any solid repudiation of documented "evidence". 😊

[dirtysink]

Yep, that is correct. Once I came to intellectually debunk Sola Scripture to myself, I was out of protestantism and on my way to catholic church

[johnflorio]

Bryan,

When we Catholics argue against Sola Scriptura what our Protestant friends hear is, “Catholics hate the Bible.” This is a ludicrous assertion of course; no one elevates Sacred Scripture as highly as we do. However, this must be done in context of salvation history overall.

Frequently we are offered 2 Timothy 3:16-17 by our Protestant friends as proof of Sola Scriptura. What these passages DO mean is all Scripture IS inspired by God which is exactly what the Catholic Church teaches. However, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 does not prove Sola Scriptura. The entire Bible IS inspired but it is NOT all-inclusive.

Blessed Easter to you and yours.

V/R,

John

John 20:30: “Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book.”

[PolymorphicPenguin]

Those were some very persuasive arguments against sola scriptura. The canon is definitely a problem for Protestant theology. We don't like to admit that our New Testament was assembled by the Catholic Church. Instead, we like to pretend that it just came down from Heaven one day.

[dannelson]

So obviously true, thank you brother!

[marcosdisiervi]

Circumcision ban in Acts 15 was not decided based on Scriptures. On the contrary, it went against Scriptures based solely on Church authority.

..."until the face-beating reality..."
LMAO!!
🤣 🤣 🤣
I laughed out loud so hard my neighbor banged the wall to blame me.
I may lose my apartment from this but my faith will always have a place of rest in the Catholic church!
