Scripture: Genesis 11:1-9

Când întâmpinăm scepticism privind ziua Domnului, Scriptura ne oferă certitudinea necesară pentru a continua să credem și să trăim sfânt.

31 Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.Judaei ergo ( quoniam parasceve erat) ut non remanerent in cruce corpora sabbato ( erat enim magnus dies ille sabbati), rogaverunt Pilatum ut frangerentur eorum crura, et tollerentur. 32 The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.Venerunt ergo milites : et primi quidem fregerunt crura, et alterius, qui crucifixus est cum eo. 33 But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.Ad Jesum autem cum venissent, ut viderunt eum jam mortuum, non fregerunt ejus crura, 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.sed unus militum lancea latus ejus aperuit, et continuo exivit sanguis et aqua. 35 And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe.Et qui vidit, testimonium perhibuit : et verum est testimonium ejus. Et ille scit quia vera dicit : ut et vos credatis. 36 For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.Facta sunt enim haec ut Scriptura impleretur : Os non comminuetis ex eo. 37 And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.Et iterum alia Scriptura dicit : Videbunt in quem transfixerunt.The Sacred Heart of our Lord is opened on the Cross by the soldier's lance to manifest to us His love.

Scripture: Psalm 15

Scripture: Psalm 145

Scripture: Luke 24:13-35

Scripture: Matthew 18:7-9

Did Vatican II introduce harmful changes to the Catholic Church, and does Catholic theology go too far in defining mysteries like the Eucharist? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Catholic Answers apologists respond to major Orthodox objections to Catholicism, covering theology, Church history, and doctrine. The discussion examines Catholic teaching on remarriage and original sin, the necessity of the Immaculate Conception, and the Christological differences between the Catholic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches. Additional topics include whether transubstantiation “overdefines” the Eucharist, why Orthodox and Catholic biblical canons differ, and whether Catholic theology lacks the Orthodox essence–energies distinction. A thoughtful and charitable look at some of the deepest divisions between East and West. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Objections Covered: 02:12 – Vatican II introduced harmful theological and liturgical changes.  05:51 – Catholic teaching on remarriage is too rigid.  13:36 – Catholic original sin wrongly teaches inherited guilt.  17:14 – The Immaculate Conception is unnecessary and unfounded.  28:52 – What does one say about the Christological differences between the Oriental Orthodox Churches and the Catholic. They claim they hold to the early definitions of Ephesus that we have abandoned.  36:14 – Transubstantiation overdefines the Eucharistic mystery.  39:57 – Why do Orthodox Churches differ with us on the canon of Scriptura?  47:57 – Catholicism lacks the essence–energies distinction. 

Scripture: Matthew 18:5-6

Scripture: Ephesians 4:11-16

Scripture: Matthew 18:1-4

In last week's episode we covered the Reformation principle of sola Scriptura, and so in this week's installment we thought it would be good to cover the complementary principle known as tota Scriptura, which is the conviction that the whole of Scripture is inspired, good, and profitable for the Christian.  We also drop some very important news about the future of the show, so make sure to tune in and get the scoop in this week's episode.   Visit www.almondvalley.org for information about Almond Valley Christian Reformed Church in Ripon, CA. Music by Jonathan Ogden used with permission.

One of the perennial points of discussion between Roman Catholics and Protestants is the role and authority of Scripture and tradition in the Christian life, and for good reason. Many Roman Catholic apologists today will argue that sola Scriptura is untenable because it was the Church that created the Scripture, and not the other way. So in this week's episode we aim to explain what sola Scriptura is, what is isn't, and how it stands up to Roman and Orthodox objections.   Visit www.almondvalley.org for information about Almond Valley Christian Reformed Church in Ripon, CA.

Scripture: Acts 1:6-11

From the Series:

Trăim vremuri în care discernământul spiritual este mai necesar ca niciodată. În acest mesaj, pastorul Vasile Filat analizează avertismentele dure, dar vitale, lăsate de Apostolul Petru cu privire la învățătorii minciunoși care se ridică chiar din mijlocul nostru. Scriptura ne avertizează clar: pierzarea acestor învățători nu dormitează, iar osânda îi paște de multă vreme. Este responsabilitatea noastră, ca și creștini, să studiem Cuvântul pentru a nu fi duși de vânturile de învățătură străină.

Scripture: Mark 11:1-11

32 The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.Audierunt pharisaei turbam murmurantem de illo haec : et miserunt principes et pharisaei ministros ut apprehenderent eum. 33 Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.Dixit ergo eis Jesus : Adhuc modicum tempus vobiscum sum : et vado ad eum qui me misit. 34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.Quaeretis me, et non invenietis : et ubi ego sum, vos non potestis venire. 35 The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?Dixerunt ergo Judaei ad semetipsos : Quo hic iturus est, quia non inveniemus eum? numquid in dispersionem gentium iturus est, et docturus gentes? 36 What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?quis est hic sermo, quem dixit : Quaeretis me, et non invenietis : et ubi sum ego, vos non potestis venire? 37 And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.In novissimo autem die magno festivitatis stabat Jesus, et clamabat dicens : Si quis sitit, veniat ad me et bibat. 38 He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.Qui credit in me, sicut dicit Scriptura, flumina de ventre ejus fluent aquae vivae. 39 Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.Hoc autem dixit de Spiritu, quem accepturi erant credentes in eum : nondum enim erat Spiritus datus, quia Jesus nondum erat glorificatus.

Scripture: Matthew 17:22-23

This teaching emphasizes sola Scriptura—the absolute doctrinal authority of God's written Word—by showing that Scripture consistently warns against adding to or subtracting from divine revelation (Revelation 22:18, 1 Corinthians 4:6, Proverbs 30:6, Deuteronomy 4:2), while also acknowledging that the Bible itself sometimes quotes or references non-canonical sources for historical or illustrative purposes without granting them doctrinal authority (Numbers 21:14, 2 Chronicles 13:22, Acts 17, Jude 1:14). Jesus Himself upheld Scripture as supreme while condemning man-made traditions (Matthew 15, John 12) and even participated in historically significant practices like the Feast of Dedication (John 10:22), which, though recorded outside the Torah, was prophetically anticipated (Daniel 11) and aligned with God's redemptive plan (Leviticus 23–24). The message concludes that extra-biblical literature may hold historical or explanatory value, but doctrine must rest solely on the inspired Word of God, rightly divided and illuminated by the Holy Spirit. You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!

Scripture: Matthew 17:9-13

Roger came from a Fundamentalist Christian background and went on to become a Baptist pastor. When cracks in his "sola Scriptura" foundation began to appear, it shook his faith, and he wondered if Christianity was true at all. Through the help of a friend who started walking him through apologetics, he began to realize that "sola Scriptura" was not the only framework for understanding Christianity, and that the Catholic Church's three-legged stool of Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium was how Jesus had set things up to begin with.

Share a commentA single line from Romans shattered a lifetime of striving and set two lives on a collision course with history. We follow Martin Luther's storm-tossed vow into the study where Romans 1:17 turned guilt into grace, then step through the convent doors with Katerina von Bora as smuggled sermons and a moonlit escape in fish barrels carried her toward a risky freedom. What begins as theology on parchment becomes a home under pressure—fields to manage, walls to whitewash, books to write, mouths to feed—and a marriage that made doctrine visible.We share how Luther's embrace of sola fide and sola Scriptura reshaped his preaching and his world, and how Katerina's courage, wit, and practical genius transformed the decaying Black Cloister into a humming household. Along the way, we unpack their unlikely courtship—complete with a declined suitor and a bold proposal—and why their union became a living rebuttal to compulsory celibacy and a blueprint for Christian family life. Their table talks, daily labors, and stubborn commitment argued that righteousness is received by faith and worked out in chores, budgets, hospitality, and forgiveness.Across these scenes, two durable principles emerge. First, marriage flourishes through commitment rather than compatibility; differences become the apprenticeship of love. Second, the aim is humility, not the chase for constant happiness; the home is a school where character grows in the friction of ordinary days. If you're curious how big ideas like the Reformation change small things like bedsheets, brewing, and bedtime prayers, this story invites you into the rooms where belief becomes habit and hope finds a home.If this journey moved you, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend who loves history told through the lives that lived it._____Stephen's latest book, Legacies of Light, Volume 2, is our gift for your special donation to our ministry.

Tired of endless denominations and “best” interpretations? Ethan left the Church of Christ after tracing history, worship, and unity back to Orthodoxy. Hear the turning points, the schisms, and his family's conversion. Listen now—what would convince you?What if the problem isn't that people disagree with the Bible, but that we cut the Bible loose from the Church that received it? Ethan Brackin grew up in the Church of Christ, where “Bible alone” shaped belief, worship, and identity. He takes us inside the Restoration Movement—why it rejected creeds, how it tried to rebuild “New Testament Christianity,” and how, within decades, it fractured into institutional and non-institutional camps. The result was a string of verse battles without a stable referee, a culture that prized sincerity but struggled to hold doctrine together, and a worship life that felt increasingly thin.We trace Ethan's path from the Church of Christ to Orthodoxy, mapping the fractures of solo scriptura and the discovery of a living tradition. A family's first visit to Divine Liturgy becomes the hinge that moves study into conviction and conviction into catechumenate.• restoration movement origins and the “Bible alone” claim• rejection of creeds and loss of church history• early schisms and institutional vs non-institutional split• college retreat and the shallows of verse battles• first encounter with Orthodox worship and chant• global unity of faith, fasting, and liturgy• reading the Fathers and naming the Nicene faith• parents visit liturgy and become catechumens• humility, patience, and seeking truth as a habitThe turning point wasn't a debate; it was beauty. A single Orthodox hymn led Ethan into church history, patristic sources, and the living shape of ancient worship. He and his wife spent months reading, praying, and quietly testing claims. What they found was not a clever system, but a continuous life: one Creed, one Eucharistic pattern, one fasting rhythm, echoed across languages and continents. That visible catholicity reframed authority—Scripture in the Church, illuminated by the Fathers, confirmed in council, and embodied in the Divine Liturgy.The story takes an unexpected twist when Ethan's parents ask to attend liturgy. One service became hours of questions and weeks of study, culminating in a confession that surprised even them: the Orthodox Church is the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. Along the way, we explore why solo scriptura breeds fragmentation, how the early Restoration leaders related to the Trinity, and what real unity looks like when it is lived rather than asserted. If you've felt the ache of endless denominations or the fatigue of constant doctrinal drift, this conversation offers a clear path forward: come and see, read the Fathers, and let beauty lead you to truth.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's wrestling with authority and unity, and leave a review to help more seekers find their way.Questions about Orthodoxy?

In this episode of Christ the Center, we welcome Josiah Leinbach to discuss William Whitaker's A Disputation on Holy Scripture—a monumental sixteenth-century defense of sola Scriptura, newly edited and republished by Prolego Press. Written in 1588 against leading Roman Catholic theologians such as Robert Bellarmine, Whitaker's work offers a comprehensive treatment of Scripture's authority, canon, clarity, and sufficiency. Leinbach explains how Whitaker combined Renaissance humanism with scholastic rigor, engaging Scripture, church history, and patristic sources to show that Protestant convictions about Scripture were neither novel nor reactionary, but deeply rooted in the catholic tradition of the church. The conversation also explores the modern relevance of Whitaker's work—especially amid contemporary debates over authority, tradition, and ecumenism. Leinbach reflects on how advances in historical and textual scholarship have confirmed many of the Reformers' arguments, while Rome's own positions have shifted over time. Whitaker's insistence on the perspicuity of Scripture, the singular infallibility of God's Word, and the Spirit's inward testimony offers not only apologetic clarity but deep pastoral comfort. This episode invites listeners to recover confidence in Scripture as God's clear and sufficient means of revealing Christ to his people.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre el libro de William Perkins, "El arte de profetizar: El llamado al ministerio pastoral". Ver aquí: https://teologiaparavivir.com/perkins-arte-de-predicar/  Video: https://youtu.be/5rHKyCpaxzg  PPT: https://teologiaparavivir.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/El_Metodo_del_Obrero_Fiel.pdf  "¿Qué hace que un sermón sea realmente Palabra de Dios para un pueblo concreto, y no solo un discurso religioso bien armado? Este episodio presenta El arte de profetizar, la obra seminal con la que William Perkins —figura decisiva del protestantismo reformado inglés— sistematizó un método “sagrado y único” de predicar: leer el texto canónico con claridad, explicarlo por la propia Escritura, extraer pocas doctrinas verdaderamente provechosas y aplicarlas con lenguaje llano a la vida real. A lo largo del libro, Perkins recorre el corazón del oficio: la naturaleza de la predicación, la excelencia y autoridad de la Palabra, el canon bíblico y el testimonio del Espíritu, y una hermenéutica práctica que enseña a interpretar, reconciliar pasajes, tratar textos oscuros, reconocer figuras retóricas y dividir correctamente la Palabra. Pero el método no se queda en el escritorio. Perkins aterriza en la aplicación pastoral: ley y evangelio, discernimiento de condiciones del oyente (desde el incrédulo indócil hasta el creyente caído), tipos de aplicación, memoria, proclamación con “demostración del Espíritu” y la formulación de la oración. La segunda mitad amplía el foco: El llamado al ministerio pastoral reúne dos tratados que describen deberes y dignidaddel ministro: sus títulos (mensajero e intérprete), su singularidad, oficio, bendición y autoridad; y una exposición vocacional (visión, consuelo y comisión) que insiste en que solo los llamados por Dios deben asumir el pastorado."

How should Christians navigate real-life questions about faith, family, dating, and church differences—especially when Catholic and Protestant worlds overlap?In this Q&A episode, Emily joins Mark to wrap up the “Why Protestantism?” series by moving from theology to wisdom. Mark responds to practical questions that surface after discussing Catholic and Protestant differences, particularly for those who grew up Catholic, have Catholic family members, or are navigating close relationships across traditions. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes starting with the gospel itself—personal faith in Christ—before addressing church affiliation, practices, or tradition.Mark also tackles sensitive topics like honoring Catholic parents, engaging family conversations with humility, dating across theological traditions, and how to approach disagreements with both clarity and charity. He concludes by addressing questions about biblical authority and the Catholic canon, explaining how Protestants understand Scripture, canon formation, and the ongoing need for reform within the church. The episode closes with a hopeful reminder that Christian unity matters deeply, even as real differences remain.Episode Highlights00:00 — Introducing the Q&A: moving from theology to pastoral wisdom 02:00 — The foundational question: what truly saves a person? 03:30 — Can someone be a genuine Christian within the Catholic Church? 05:50 — When gospel clarity matters for spiritual growth and church health 06:45 — Honoring Catholic family members without compromising conviction 08:00 — “Show and tell” vs. “argue and yell”: a wiser approach to family conversations 10:05 — Dating across traditions: when differences become directional conflicts 11:00 — Mark's 0–5 dating framework and why long-term direction matters 15:30 — Why Mark advises against serious dating between Catholics and Protestants 16:45 — Do Catholics have a different Bible?

Wat 'n voorreg om terug te kyk op 2025!   Die jaar het so baie op gelewer en so vinnig verby gevlieg, maar die Scriptura span het reekse en episodes gepubliseer wat ons eie verbeelding oortref het.   AAN GOD AL DIE EER, want in werklikheid was dit episode vir episode, 'n groot genade.  En alles het uitgewerk soos dit moes, en ons is baie dankbaar dat die ses broers in die Here al vir 'n volle agt jaar elke week saam gesels oor die Woord van ons wonderlike God. Die bediening bereik duisende mense regoor die wereld, want God het dit so laat gebeur.  Hy gebruik nederige mense om Sy evangelie van redding wêreldwyd te versprei.   En dit het 'n baie positiewe impak op die predikers en aanbieders self, en op die luisteraars, asook op die werkers in die agtergrond meegebring.  Ons bedank elkeen wat geluister en gekyk het, en die episodes met vriende en familie gedeel het, want dit is ook natuurlik die uitvloeisel van die aanraking van die Woord van God in elke hart.   Die liefde van God is soos 'n vuur en dit steek harte aan die brand, en ons kan dit nie vir onsself hou nie. Bid asseblief vir die volgehoue en getroue verkondiging van die Here se kosbare woord, en vir die bediening om voort te gaan om nog meer mense te bereik vir God se koninkryk.

Scriptura gesels oor wanbesteding en skuld, natuur- en wildbewaring kwessies, en laastens ook oor die G20 konferensie se skynheilige voorhou dat ons huis in order is voor die wêreld.  

What is prima scriptura? What does it mean to believe in the primacy of Scripture? Does the Roman Catholic Church hold to prima scriptura?

In Perspektief - Oktober 2025 gesels Scriptura oor ernstige nuusgebeure van die afgelope maand.  Pous Leo en koning Charles III bid saam vir die eerste keer in 500 jaar, en die stryd teen die Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Rights Commission (CRL) waarmee die Suid-Afrikaanse regering poog om kerke te reguleer.  En laastens het die Grootte kerk in Kaapstad 'n intergeloof byeenkoms gehou vir die geregtigheid van Palistyne wat in die oorlog in Gaza vasgevang is.

Tres hombres. Una sola Palabra. Hoy descubrimos cómo Zwinglio, Calvino y Knox transformaron la iglesia y la sociedad al volver a la autoridad de las Escrituras. Tres voces distintas, un mismo mensaje: la Palabra de Dios basta para reformar corazones, iglesias y naciones enteras.

Questions about whether or not it's reasonable to worry that some of our current doctrines were influenced by the fallen nature of the apostles, and how to defend sola Scriptura to Roman Catholics who argue that oral tradition carries as much weight as Scripture.   How much of the apostles' fallen nature influenced their choice of words and how they communicated? Is it reasonable to worry that some of our current doctrines came from their just getting annoyed or impatient with someone and wording something too harshly? How do I defend sola Scriptura to my Roman Catholic family members in light of passages like 1 Thessalonians 2:13 and 2 Thessalonians 2:15, which seem to imply that oral tradition carries as much weight as Scripture?

Scripture: Matthew 14:34-36

In die afgelope week het 'n amptelike brief van die Gereformeerde Kerk Nelspruit aan 'n lid van die gemeente opslae gemaak. Die brief handel oor kerklike betrokkenheid en die verantwoordelikheid wat belydende lidmate het teenoor die gemeenskap van gelowiges. In hierdie opname gesels die Scriptura-span oor die inhoud van die brief, die Bybelse beginsels agter kerklike tug en waarom ware gemeenskap in Christus nie bloot 'n formaliteit is nie, maar 'n lewende roeping.

Scripture: Psalm 126

What does it mean to be a biblicist—and why should Christians embrace the label?In this episode, Dr. Cory Marsh of Southern California Seminary unpacks the definition of biblicism, its connection to sola Scriptura, and how to guard against tradition and opinion taking precedence over God's Word.

In this episode, we talk with AJ Swoboda—pastor, professor, and author of After Doubt and A Teachable Spirit—about why doubt has become so common, why it shouldn't be the end of the story, and how real spiritual formation takes shape in our lives.  We explore:  The limits of “just me and my Bible” Christianity  A fresh take on sola Scriptura from a Protestant perspective  Why we all carry traditions—whether we admit it or not  The value of humility and a teachable spirit  Why formation is slower—but deeper—than deconstruction  With humor, honesty, and pastoral wisdom, AJ offers a compelling vision for rebuilding faith that can last.  AJ Swoboda is a pastor, theologian, and author who teaches Bible, theology, and Christian formation at Bushnell University. He is also co-host with Nijay Gupta of the Slow Theology podcast. Find out more about AJ's books, writing, and socials at https://ajswoboda.com/.
