S4 E9: Dogma and scripture, oh and Mary!
Join the show with a TEXT here!
A former Protestant apologist has flipped the script: once a defender of sola scriptura, he now argues that the church’s authority supersedes Scripture. In this episode we watch his video, unpack his central objections to sola scriptura, and trace how his new ecclesial framework reshapes his understanding of dogma.
We’ll move from close reaction to careful analysis, testing his claims against historical and theological standards and then putting one of the canons from Nicaea II under the microscope to show where an ecclesial-first approach clashes with a Scripture-centered view of authority.
This episode is for anyone interested in doctrinal controversies, patristic authority, or the Protestant–Catholic/Eastern conversation—pastors, students, and curious listeners alike. Grab your Bible, bring a snack, and settle in!
