Sola Scriptura & the Church Fathers (Part 1): Scripture is Self-Authenticating

This is the first in a series of videos that I am doing with @tonycostatorontoapologetic5307 on Sola Scriptura in the early Church. This first episode focuses on the fact that Scripture, as the Word of God--who is truth itself and does not need His papers stamped by any man or group--is self-authenticating and criteriological.

Roman apologists can argue against sola scriptura until they are blue in the face, but it won't stop the avalanche of people who are leaving the RCC in favor of churches who teach the pure and simple truths of the Bible. I attend a reformed church and a majority of the attendees are hispanic former Catholics, along with a Spanish-speaking ministry that reaches out to the large hispanic population in our area. Our church's membership is exploding. My wife and her entire family are former Catholics as well, and have never looked back to its empty traditionalism.

Anthony Riogers aka Reverend Rumplestilksskin.😅 What a beard. 😂. I do not know anyone who is better prepared to present a particular doctrine than Brother and Apostle Anthony Rogers. The man is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. If I had to pick one solid Christian man and send him to Worms to defend the gospel today, Apostle Anthony is my choice, hands down. It never ceases to impress me how much knowledge he has. His ability to articulate it is unsurpassed.

Could you link sources for the quote in the description?

[cthulhutoad]

"The child is not greater than the mother" is an ironic metaphor for a Christian to use.

Never heard of the hottentot Indians before, @anthoy..but I am sure a decedent of the hottentot Africans. Praise God, the gospel reached our ears too!!

A VERY much needed presentation. Superb work gentlemen - be blessed :-) !

It’s funny though I’ve reviewed Horns Unanimity argument against Protestantism and it is straight out of the playbook of atheists.

[_BillyMandalay]

It is not just their audacity in claiming what they claim,
but the hostility in the manner they argue for it.

They seem to always give off those vibes that make my spidey senses tingle.

It was sola scriptura
when Jesus kicked the devil's butt in the wilderness,
it was sola scriptura
when I was born again.
No institutions were involved.

Please make your argument pretending you were born and lived in Hawaii in the year 900 AD. Thank you.

[Whorideswith]

Yeah, but which books comprise scripture? And how exactly is this self-compiling?

[lukesalazar]

Also Jeffrey Epstein and John McAfee didn't kill themselves

All the Books of the New Testament, as they are commonly received, we do receive, and account them Canonical. 39 Articles uf Religion

Thank you! Could you guys also do a video on the view of justification and the church fathers?

[glennhudson]

Love your work and your humbleness and wit.

[MrNobodylj]

Question I had when we say that a Coptic Christian who does not believe in justification by faith alone which is nothing but the gospel …. And then dies as a martyr like he gets beheaded by isis or someone ….do we regard him as believer with errant theology or as an unbeliever who died for Christ … especially if he is a part of a church that does not teach the true gospel

[anthonytan]

In 1:20:11, Anthony mentioned that the Apostles in Acts 15 appealing to Scripture to settle the matter...could you point which verse to this effect Any body ??? God bless

[garyboulton]

Anthony, in this video I have become convinced of Presuppositionalism. Is there any books that I should read to help in this? Thanks
