“Tradition is not without error, only God’s word is.” Amen

Sola Scriptura...I was just thinking of that as I was listening... Scripture alone rules and governs

Who established the canon of the Bible? Who changed it and on what authority did they do so?

In addition to self-authentication, I find that reading the bible, especially the words of Jesus, provides power to follow the words of Jesus. This is in contrast to reading pagan Greek philosophy in college, with zero inclination to live along those lines, hence “moderation in all things” - I’m afraid we didn’t drink moderately.

The Scripture is the final authority. That is why cannon was so important that it took over three-hundred years of prayer, research, and Spirit guidance to establish the Holy Bible. Of course, this only applies to the books of the NT. The OT was mostly settled by our Jewish brothers.

He has the same name as tazar boi

How can Scripture alone be the final authority if to determine which books and how many of them belong to Scripture depends on authority outside Scripture? Whether Scripture contradicts Creeds, Confessions, Papal statement etc. or not is subjective. Who is authorized to decide that?

It is very easy to make the Catholic Church look bad but very difficult to correctly represent her: “But the task of authentically interpreting the word of God, whether written or handed on, (8) has been entrusted exclusively to the living teaching office of the Church, (9) whose authority is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ. This teaching office is not above the word of God, but serves it, teaching only what has been handed on, listening to it devoutly, guarding it scrupulously and explaining it faithfully in accord with a divine commission and with the help of the Holy Spirit, it draws from this one deposit of faith everything which it presents for belief as divinely revealed.” -Dei Verbum, Second Vatican Council Curious why if Dr. Reeves wanted to quote something current on the Catholic Church’s position why he didn’t share this quote? Ligonier- please represent Rome accurately and fully if you’d like to tear her down. I realize a response could be made “we can’t get everything into a short 30 minute video” and I get that, but there seems to almost always be Rome set up as a straw man to make her position look as ridiculous as possible so that the twin knights in shining armor Luther and Calvin can rescue everyone from her supposed ignorant and narcissistic theology. Read smart Catholics for themselves if you want to know what they believe. Or KZfaq Reason and Theology.
