Description

Sola Scriptura is one of the most debated doctrines in the church today, because while Catholic and Orthodox Christians reject this doctrine, it’s believed by most Protestants. And as a Baptist who affirms this doctrine, I want to highlight some of the verses commonly given against it. I’ll show you why these verses don’t actually disprove it and why Sola Scriptura is a biblical belief.

Hey! I’m David Cipriano, and I’m a youth pastor with a passion for expository teaching, biblical theology, and Christian apologetics.

0:00 Intro

0:43 What Sola Scriptura is

1:59 The Bible doesn’t tell us everything—John 20:30 & John 21:25

5:21 The Bible says to obey tradition—2 Thessalonians 2:15, 3:6, & 1 Corinthians 11:2

12:51 Just because the Bible says to obey tradition, doesn’t make tradition infallible.

14:47 We should check all teachers by the Bible.

16:50 Protestants are not against tradition.

17:49 No private interpretation—2 Peter 1:20

20:39 If the Catholic Church is the only infallible interpreter, why haven’t they infallibly interpreted all of the Bible?

22:29 Is the church the foundation of the truth?—1 Timothy 3:15

25:14 The Bible proves that the church is not infallible.

27:53 The Ethiopian eunuch couldn’t interpret the scriptures by himself—Acts 8:30-31

31:15 The Bible is confusing, so we need interpreters—2 Peter 3:15-16

34:35 The Catholic Church didn’t give us the Bible.
