I'm a Catholic priest liking a video of a protestant interviewing an orthodox priest. I think the Holy Spirit is guiding you.

[HudsonFamily]

I've been Protestant Church of Christ all my life. I have so much more life, love, and understanding since the Lord has lead me to Orthodox. Finally victory over lust. Praise be to The Heavenly Father through the Son.

[jeremiahong]

The Orthodox position on Sola Scriptures is exactly the same as the Catholics!! Well explained Fr Josiah!!

[BibleIllustrated]

Fr. Josiah is terrific! So glad you had him on your channel! 😃

[rlpsychology]

As an evangelical Christian I guess, I so appreciate the perspectives of Orthodox and Catholic brethren as clarifying. Thanks so much, brothers.

[nbinghi]

As a recent convert to Orthodoxy from decades in Reform churches, all one has to do is look around at all the further splintering into such heresy as Word of Faith, NAR, Prosperity gospels, etc., and realize well, none of these things occur from the Orthodox. I'll stick to the original source of the historical Church.

[marcmarc]

What this priest is saying is totally in accordance with what the Catholic Church teaches about sola scriptura.

[davidus]

I am Catholic, so far I watched 2 or 3 of your videos that popped up in my recommendation. I like your approach to all of this, I see that you wish for Christians of all denomination to get a better understanding of one another and in that was grow together towards Christ. God bless you.

[swenner]

Thanks for taking us back to this! Excellent!

[orthodoxiechretiennefrance]

Thanks also to Austin for interviewing him
Glory be to God

[katharinajanousek]

You do such great work! And you are so open to other confessions - great ♥️

[trevorwright]

Wow father Josiah does very well on camera! Lol I wouldn't of known that from his liturgys. Very good humble man and he has a very almost ancient demeanor yet he's very open and inviting. Very kind of both of you to take time to do this interview.

I was born into the catholic faith… my mother who was significantly physically handicapped, stopped taking us to church when I was five… I never understood much but she did but me some children’s illustrated bibles which I read several times, thankfully! But, I never felt like it was clear and straightforward. I eventually became a Christian hating atheist, then began to search for ‘answers’ after I conceded to agnostic thinking. I studied every religion and new age mindset techniques… then I began to look at Christianity with a new appreciation. After a lifetime of mostly signifigant failures in every aspect of my life, and a near death experience… I became fully Christian, highly influenced by the Protestants. I had been planning to find a church, thinking I’d go with the Protestants, but still having an appreciation for Catholicism. I finally began to pray for a Christian husband… and God quickly delivered! I was reunited with an old flame from my early twenties at 52 years old. The first thing he said to me was that he was super catholic. Something he never said to anyone in that manner before, he said. He said he didn’t know why he said that. But, I now feel like it was the hand of God. And so I started to listen and read catholic priests and others on the internet, mostly YouTube. And it’s a whole nuther dimension compared to the Protestant content. I respect their effort to abide by biblical truth, but I agree with the heresy and culty preachings that come about when there is a breakaway from things like apostolic tradition. It’s actually a big topic for me, for years. Been planning to write a book. Still collecting data. Learning about Catholicism has really opened my eyes.

[Kenneth-nVA]

The Reformation principle of sola Scriptura has to do with the sufficiency of Scripture as our supreme authority in all spiritual matters. Sola Scriptura simply means that all truth necessary for our salvation and spiritual life is taught either explicitly or implicitly in Scripture. It is not a claim that all truth of every kind is found in Scripture( JM)

[vesnastihovic]

I can't wait for those interviews with Orthodox priests.

[silenciummortum]

I used to study to become a Pentecostal pastor and then read “The Orthodox Church” by Bishop Kallistos Ware and let me tell you.... the host’s face was the same as mine when I read the book then as when Father Trenham was dropping those truth bombs. God bless you for the humility to listen to him with such an open heart and mind. I am on my way to Russian Orthodoxy.

[soliscrown]

I'm quite new to this channel. Interesting content. This seems like a very honest inquiry into the many facets of Christian faith.

[aditipuri]

A lovely interview...
Very clear and illuminating
Thank you very much

[beautifulspirit]

As a Catholic I loved this teaching which is the same for the Catholic Church.

[susannarducci]

Wow!! I learned so much! I need to watch it 2 more times to fully comprehend what he just explained!! Thank you so much !.
