Podcasts about Sola scriptura

1 Leo XIV learns an important lesson, partly. 1️⃣ Pope Leo XIV Backs Off Politics After months of backlash over his geopolitical hot takes, Pope Leo XIV seems to be learning a rare Vatican lesson: silence is sometimes golden. Sources say the pontiff is stepping back from partisan commentary, focusing instead on evangelization and unity. Patrick Coffin breaks down why Catholics should welcome a pope who prays more and opines less — and how mixing theology with foreign policy never ends well. 2️⃣ Charlie Kirk Case Narrative Collapsing. The official story about the Charlie Kirk murder is unraveling faster than legacy media can spin. Patrick Coffin unpacks how new evidence and brave voices — notably Candace Owens and independent reporters — are exposing contradictions, suppressed footage, and political motives. As the truth surfaces, this case could redefine how Americans view media manipulation and law enforcement narratives. Truth doesn't fear investigation — it demands it. 3️⃣ Faith Under Fire: New Course Announcement Patrick Coffin announces Faith Under Fire, an all-new online course for Catholics who want to defend truth with clarity and charity. Students will tackle objections to God's existence, “once saved, always saved,” Sola Scriptura, Marian dogmas, and the Real Presence — all grounded in Scripture, history, and reason. Learn how to stay calm, confident, and Catholic in the face of modern unbelief. Enroll today and reignite your faith.

Join the show with a TEXT here!In episode 1 we looked at some objections to the clarity of scripture as well the effectiveness of the spirit in guiding us as well as some other examples of its clarity. Today we double down as we look at what scripture is, how it functions and why its authoritative.Jesus has a view of scripture we should reflect and my hope is after this episode you are encouraged to imitate that. Comment any questions you have and enjoy the episode!

Send us a textA lightning storm, a vow, and a question that won't quit: why do you believe it? We follow Martin Luther from fear to courage and from indulgences to conviction, then bring his protest forward to the five solas that still ground a restless age. The heart of our time together is Sola Scriptura—Scripture alone as our final authority—not to flatten tradition or voices we trust, but to line them up under the Word that points us to Jesus. You'll hear how access changed history, why translation and the printing press opened the Bible to ordinary people, and how manuscript evidence gives you solid reasons to trust what you read today.From there we get practical. We explore what it means to let the Word dwell richly—how to read different genres with context, how Hebrews' “living and active” sword cuts through pretense, and how Jesus' call to build on rock becomes a durable plan for life when storms hit. If you've wrestled with doubt, struggled to make time for Scripture, or wondered how the Old and New Testaments form one story of redemption, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and next steps. We don't stop at information; we invite transformation—returning to the gospel where grace alone saves through faith alone in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.Along the way, we share the beauty of community: imperfect people following Jesus, learning to ask better questions, and making choices shaped by wisdom rather than hurry. If you're ready to anchor your beliefs, rebuild your rhythms, and respond to a Savior who still calls by name, you're in the right place.

In this message from the Faithful Foundations series, Pastor John Murphy unpacks the first cry of the Reformation: Sola Scriptura—Scripture Alone. He shows why God's Word is sufficient, inspired, and authoritative, contrasting it with the dangers of adding to it or placing ourselves above it. From Luther's stand at the Diet of Worms to Paul's words in 2 Timothy 3, the call is clear: Scripture alone must anchor what we believe and how we live. More than information, it leads us to transformation as it points us to Christ.

In this episode of the Broken Wharfe Podcast, John-Mark sits down with Dr. James Renihan to explore the Old and New Testament foundations of baptism. Drawing from his teaching series, IRBS On The Road, Dr. Renihan explains how ritual washings in the Old Covenant point forward to believer's baptism, why circumcision is fulfilled in regeneration—not baptism—and how baptism serves as a pastoral help to Christians.Whether you're Baptist, paedobaptist, or simply wrestling with the theology of baptism, this conversation provides clarity, encouragement, and a strong biblical framework.

“Sola Scriptura” explores the concept of absolute Biblical authority, as it pertains to the formation of a republic using the Bible as our single founding document, or Constitution. We look at rights, and the idea of free speech within the framework of law and from the perspective of idolatry. It argues that rights are granted and enforced by human authority, and questions the concept of free speech, as an absolute right, suggesting speech should be moderated by the res publica rather than the state. The text critiques the idolization of human ideas and identities, proposing that a true republic can only be realized through the application of Scripture, according to the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. Specifically, “Sola Scriptura” argues for the formation of a Theological Republic, not a theocracy, founded on the Bible which was given to Christians to be our constitution.

“Never Orthodox.” Famous last words.“I will never become Orthodox.”  And he meant it. He was days away from getting Sola Scriptura tattooed on his kneecaps—ink as conviction—when his closest friend, James St. Simon, entered the Orthodox Church. The line he'd sworn by began to wobble.What changed him wasn't a debate or a takedown. It was prayer.  Join Cloud of Witnesses discussion between Jeremy Jeremiah, Mario Andrew, James St. Simon, and special guest, Orthodox Catechumen, Eddie.  “My heart has always been about prayer,” Eddie says. “My Protestant background told me to pray. Orthodoxy showed me how to pray.” He found “step one” clarity—morning and evening prayers, psalms on the lips, a simple rule that steadied the heart when emotions ran thin. Prayer moved from improvisation to communion.Others recognized the same hunger. James realized his spontaneous prayers had drifted into performance—aimed at people, not God. Mario found freedom from the anxious loop of “Am I saying enough? Am I praying right?” The ancient patterns didn't smother the Spirit; they formed the heart—Scripture-soaked, Christ-centered, time-tested.Then came the moment Eddie couldn't shake. During the Divine Liturgy, his two-year-old tried to make the sign of the cross—clumsy, sincere, unforgettable.“This is why Christianity outlasts civilizations and fashions,” Eddie reflects. “It isn't just for us—it's for them, when we're gone.”The man who almost branded Sola Scriptura into his skin is now learning the rhythms of ancient Christianity—not rejecting Scripture, but receiving it within the prayer-shaped life of the Church. The vow “never Orthodox” didn't end in an argument. It ended in adoration.If you've ever said your own version of “never,” or longed for a prayer life that's deeper than resolve and stronger than mood, Eddie's journey is your invitation.

From Platform to Pilgrimage: Pastor Ben, Cleave to Antiquity, and a Journey to the Apostolic FaithFaith over fame. Conviction over career. What would you give up to follow truth where it leads? These questions sit at the center of Pastor Ben's move from Protestant ministry into Eastern Orthodoxy—a decision he announced on his YouTube channel, Cleave to Antiquity.For years, Cleave to Antiquity was a thoughtful Protestant apologetics channel engaging Catholics and Orthodox Christians. So when Pastor Ben posted his conversion announcement on Cleave to Antiquity, many were stunned. The cost was immediate: he resigned his pastorate, lost followers, and faced criticism from former allies. As he admits, “It would be much more lucrative for me to remain Protestant.” Yet he chose faithfulness over familiarity.In this episode, Mario Andrew and Jeremy Jeremiah of Cloud of Witnesses react to Pastor Ben's announcement video from Cleave to Antiquity—pausing to consider what his story means for Christians wrestling with questions of unity, authority, and continuity. They highlight how Ben's journey combines heart and mind: a moment in prayer with Orthodox elements where he sensed a holy presence (a fragrance of incense, a gentle warmth), and an intellectual crisis where he could no longer defend certain Protestant positions in good conscience. Integrity demanded he follow the truth—even when it led away from comfort.Ben's path raises the questions many of us ask:Unity: How do we pursue oneness in Christ amid denominational fragmentation?Authority: Is it Scripture alone, or Scripture within the apostolic tradition?Continuity: Can today's faith and worship be traced to the early Church?As Pastor Ben enters the catechumenate—a season of learning before reception into the Church—he's reframing Cleave to Antiquity from teaching to learning, inviting his audience to explore the Fathers, the Creeds, and the liturgy with him. Mario and Jeremy reflect on how this posture of humility models the kind of discipleship the whole Church needs.If you've ever felt drawn toward Orthodoxy or the apostolic faith, or you're simply curious what's moving thoughtful Protestants in this direction, join us. Watch our reaction and discussion of Pastor Ben's Cleave to Antiquity announcement, pray for him in this transition, and consider exploring the ancient paths for yourself.Wherever you are on the journey, may Christ lead us all deeper into truth, unity, and love. Visit Cloud of Witnesses Radio: https://cloudofwitnessesradio.com/ Questions about Orthodoxy?

It has been widely hypothesized that the existence of God cannot be proved using the experimental method. “25 Experimentally Verifiable Propositions About God”, was written as a rebuttal to this claim. The experiment is based on small groups of people living out the concept of Sola Scriptura, that is as if all we know comes from the Bible, directly or deductively. We propose that these groups serve as a Test Group in an experiment proving the proposition that God exists, is a legitimate position for a person to assume. The Control Group are the rest of the world's peoples.

Lutero iniciou uma reforma que libertou — mas também desestruturou. Neste episódio, refletimos sobre a herança luterana e os perigos de aplicar seus princípios de forma acrítica à organização adventista.

The philosopher George Santayana once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” While many would agree, few have considered how this truth applies to the message of Christianity. Just 500 years ago, foundational truths like the authority of Scripture, the work of Christ, salvation by faith, the free gift of grace, and the glory of God were not only questioned but worse – they were being deliberately distorted. Much of what was preached had very little to do with Christ and the message proclaimed by the church was not good news at all. However, in 1517, by God's grace, a movement called the Reformation began to bring these truths back into focus. Luther, along with others, clarified and defended the core doctrines of the Christian faith with five essential truths that still shape the church today: Scripture alone, Christ alone, Faith alone, Grace alone, and God's glory alone. If we forget them, take them for granted, or fail to defend them, we'll risk spreading a version of Christianity that is no longer centered on Christ or filled with good news. Even worse, we'll miss God's intended design for the message of the gospel and miss Him in the process.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the Dr. Shane Owens from the Franciscan University of Steubenville to talk about St. Augustine. Often claimed by non-Catholic Christians to support a low view of the papacy, the symbolic nature of Communion, and the doctrine of Sola Scriptura I ask Dr. Owens exactly what *did* St. Augustine believe about these ideas and how we can successfully win debates and discussions when a Protestant tries to claim that Augustine supports these views.With clarity and charity Dr. Owens demonstrates why arguments by popular Protestant scholars like Dr. James White and Dr. Gavin Ortlund – that Augustine supports popular Protestant doctrines – are completely wrong. For more from Dr. Owens please check out his book Return to the Heart: The Biblical Spirituality of St. Augustine's Confessions:https://stpaulcenter.com/store/return-to-the-heart-the-biblical-spirituality-of-st-augustines-confessionsAnd follow the St. Paul Center at:https://stpaulcenter.comSend your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

For information, books or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at https://www.walkinginpower.orgCondensed Summary of the Critique of MormonismThis text presents a strong critique of Mormonism (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), arguing that it is not a Christian denomination but a cult that distorts the gospel. The critique highlights several key issues: the origins of the movement, its scriptures and prophets, its teaching on Jesus Christ, its doctrine of salvation, and its ultimate goal of exaltation.Origins and AuthorityMormonism began in the 1800s with Joseph Smith, who claimed revelations restoring the “true church.” The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price, along with later prophetic teachings, are treated as scripture. The critique argues that this undermines sola scriptura by elevating human words above the Bible. Because LDS leaders hold ongoing prophetic authority, doctrine can shift with new revelations, creating instability and contradicting God's unchanging Word.The LDS Jesus vs. the Biblical JesusMormonism teaches that Jesus is the firstborn spirit child of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, making Him a created being and the spirit brother of Lucifer. This stands in sharp contrast to biblical teaching that Jesus is the eternal, uncreated Son of God, fully divine and equal with the Father. The critique warns that the LDS view diminishes Christ's uniqueness and undermines the sufficiency of His atonement.Salvation and WorksA central concern is Mormonism's doctrine of salvation. While claiming belief in grace, LDS theology redefines it as divine power enabling obedience. In practice, salvation requires faith plus works—keeping commandments, temple ordinances, and moral performance. This, the critique argues, denies biblical justification by faith alone (Romans 3:28; Ephesians 2:8–9). Instead of resting in Christ's finished work, Mormons are left uncertain, striving to prove themselves worthy.Exaltation and the AfterlifeDistinctive to Mormonism is the doctrine of exaltation: faithful Mormons may become gods, ruling over their own creations. The critique condemns this as a revival of the serpent's lie in Genesis 3:5 (“you will be like God”). Scripture affirms that God alone is eternal and sovereign (Isaiah 43:10), and humanity is called to worship Him, not to pursue godhood.Prophets and Continuing RevelationThe LDS Church claims to be led by a living prophet whose revelations guide the church. This places ultimate authority in human leaders rather than Scripture, leading to doctrinal contradictions over time (such as reversals on polygamy or race-based priesthood restrictions). Such changes reveal the instability of a faith grounded in human authority rather than God's Word.ConclusionThe critique acknowledges the sincerity of many Mormons but insists that zeal without truth cannot save. Mormonism presents a counterfeit gospel—adding to Scripture, diminishing Christ, and making salvation dependent on human works. Biblical Christianity proclaims salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. For this reason, the text concludes that Mormonism is not Christianity but a cult, and calls Christians to bring the true gospel of grace to those within it.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Sunday August 24, 2025 – By Dominic Maillet 2 Timothy 3

Creeds, councils, and confessions are helpful, but unlike Scripture they are fallible and reformable in the light of scripture. The Bible alone is God-breathed, infallible in all matters of salvation, and centered on Christ.Through the councils, the Church defended the truth of God's against error: Nicaea upheld Christ's divinity against Arianism, Constantinople affirmed the Spirit's deity, Ephesus rejected Nestorianism, and Chalcedon declared Christ fully God and fully man. Other councils confronted heresies that distorted the faith, always pointing back to Christ.Sola Scriptura reminds us that God's Word is unique in nature and in authority. It is our final standard of truth.This teaching takes us on a journey of the creeds in church history, what they addressed and why they are important. be blessed as you listen to this teaching.

A new MP3 sermon from Alpha and Omega Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Webbon Implodes, Bad Sola Scriptura Argument, New Pope Promotes Liguori Subtitle: The Dividing Line 2025 Speaker: Dr. James White Broadcaster: Alpha and Omega Ministries Event: Podcast Date: 8/21/2025 Length: 60 min.

Started off looking at a new video from Joel Webbon, who recently called Nick "F-Bomb" Fuentes a "political savant," where he had Dr. Taylor Marshall, former Protestant, now more-Catholic-than-the-Pope promoter of Papalism, to talk about (ready for this?) dispensationalism and the red heifer! Webbon is now amplifying his "Rome really isn't our enemy" theme, just as predicted by certain folks who were mocked and ridiculed for it months ago. Then we looked at a particularly bad (though very popular) anti-sola scriptura argument, and finished off noting that the new Pope is promoting Alfonsus Liguori, the author of the astonishingly idolatrous book, The Glories of Mary.

For information, books or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at https://www.walkinginpower.orgThis critique classifies Seventh-day Adventism (SDA) as a cult, despite its Christian language and global reach. Rooted in William Miller's failed 1844 prophecy, the movement was shaped by Ellen G. White, who claimed thousands of visions and whose writings form SDA's doctrinal foundation alongside the Bible. The speaker argues this dual authority undermines “sola scriptura.” Key heresies include redefining salvation as faith plus works, requiring law-keeping for holiness, and elevating Sabbath observance as eternally binding, while condemning Sunday worship as Antichrist. These teachings contradict scripture, which presents salvation as a gift by grace through faith in Christ alone and identifies Sunday worship with Christ's resurrection. Other disputed doctrines include investigative judgment, soul sleep, and annihilation of the wicked. While many Adventists are sincere, the speaker insists their doctrine is not Christian truth and stresses salvation comes solely through Christ, not human works or extra-biblical authority.

Gavin Ortlund makes a case for Sola Scriptura by exploring what Scripture is, how it functions, and why no other authority can rival it.Videos Mentioned:"Obey Tradition!" is LITERALLY IN THE BIBLE! -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29QF5bFT4LE&ab_channel=GavinOrtlundEcclesial Infallibility Has No Foundation!

In this enriching episode of the Double Edged Sword Podcast, we journey with Father Genard into Acts 15, where faith, obedience, and divine authority converge. Discover how the early Church faced the challenge of Gentile salvation, learning that true faith in Christ transcends the law through love and obedience to His commandments. Drawing from the wisdom of the apostles and the unity of the Jerusalem Council, we're reminded that to know and love our Heavenly Father, we must embrace the Son as the way, and honor the apostles He appointed. As James 2:17 teaches, faith without deeds is lifeless—let us live out our belief, trusting in Christ's authority and the guidance of His Holy Spirit. Tune in and be strengthened in your walk with God!

Patrick reflects on his 1993 debate on Sola Scriptura that he had with Protestant apologist James White and also takes calls from listeners discussing getting their children baptized in the Byzantine Rite, rapture and revelation, and more. Patrick talks about a previous debate of his with James White that Christian Wagner reviewed on his X channel Andrea - I saw a Youtube video about 14 changes which Pope Leo is doing in the Church. Is that True? Justin - Rapture and revelation: People left here on earth, do they have a second chance to repent? Omar - I am thinking about getting my child baptized in the Byzantine rite since she would get all of her sacraments right away. Nick - You really spoke to me with this topic. It brought up great memories of me calling Carl Keating when I was a kid.

Building on Part 1's takedown of KJV-onlyism, Greg delves into the heart of Bible translation debates in this thought-provoking conclusion, examining three key issues: faithfulness to ancient manuscripts (spotlighted by the Johannine Comma), the doctrinal weight of unique words like "full of grace" in Luke 1:28, and dynamic equivalence with modern language and inclusive phrasing. These choices are often shaped by theological agendas, exposing the inherent weaknesses of sola scriptura without apostolic tradition to guide interpretation. But the Church's 2,000-year tradition provides a stable foundation amid these controversies. This episode empowers listeners—whether investigating Protestants or faithful Catholics—to confidently embrace approved translations like the NABRE and RSV-CE for a richer encounter with Scripture.

Does sola scriptura lead to chaos and individualism? Catholic theologian John Bergsma and Catholic podcaster Matt Fradd claim that rejecting the magisterium leaves Protestants without interpretive authority. Michael Horton, Bob Hiller, Walter Strickland, and Justin Holcomb answer this challenge by clarifying the Protestant doctrine of Scripture's sufficiency, clarity, and final authority.

Why does the Church seem so ineffective (and sometimes corrupt) when it claims to carry the truth? Does this mean the Holy Spirit is no longer at work? And why does Frank recommend so many books on his podcast: Isn't the Bible all we need? Tune in this week as he tackles these pressing listener questions and quickly recaps last week's popular series on the Book of Revelation and the end times while addressing other questions like:Why would God allow His Church to be so corrupt, chaotic, and unfaithful?Do we need to sense the Holy Spirit working in our lives in order for Christianity to be true?Despite its shortcomings, what positive impact has the Church made in the West and all over the world?What is the contrasting difference between Jesus and Muhammad that many people don't understand?What is Sola Scriptura? Does it mean everything we need to know is in the Bible?What are the three tiers of understanding the Bible?What are the three ways to gain wisdom?What is prolegomena and why is it essential to a proper understanding of Scripture?What's the #1 subject kids (and adults) should learn in addition to the Bible?Why is redemption better than innocence?Do you have a question for Frank?

Segment 1: • The Methodist church (and now PCUSA) shows what happens when you abandon Sola Scriptura. • Liberation Theology and LGBT compromise start with bad hermeneutics. • “Herman Who?” (soon free) will help you see why hermeneutics matters for staying faithful. Segment 2: • Not all modern worship is shallow—some songs (like Matt Papa/Boswell) get it right. • Most contemporary worship, though, remains me-centered and theologically thin. • Discernment in music shapes your view of God and worship. Segment 3: • Young people are leaving church for reasons deeper than they realize: they think faith is shallow, anti-science, and overprotective. • PLAY THE MAN cards equip young men for real spiritual battle. • Culture says “follow your desires,” but God's design offers something far better. Segment 4: • God's laws aren't restrictive; they're good for you and guard your joy. • Many reject Jesus without knowing the real Jesus they're rejecting. • Joe Rogan's conversations hint at the hunger for truth that only Christ satisfies. ___ Thanks for listening!

Send us a textIn this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones begin our new series on the Five Solas of the Reformation with a deep dive into Sola Scriptura, which means Scripture Alone. They explore its historical roots in the Protestant Reformation, the distinction between general and special revelation, and the authority of the Bible over tradition and modern voices. It tackles one of the most important questions we can ask: Is the Bible truly our final authority? If you've ever wrestled with the role of Scripture in a world full of voices, don't miss this one.
