Sola Scriptura: A Theological Debate

The Bible never says Scripture is the sole authority of the Christian faith, and the Latin proves it. In this episode, we examine three texts from St. Paul and St. Peter and let the grammar do the work. No philosophical argument. No circular reasoning. Just the words themselves, in the language the Church has always read them.

The Patreon-Only Deep Dive goes further, a second-century witness trained by a man who knew St. John names the exact principle that makes sola scriptura impossible, and calls it the rule of truth. He says the apostles handed it down before they wrote a single letter. Find it on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/thelatinprayerpodcast

This video explores the concept of biblical authority within Christianity, specifically addressing the divide between Protestant and Catholic beliefs. We examine why the Bible does not explicitly state scripture is the sole authority, and how Latin texts provide additional insight. The discussion sheds light on the differences between "sola scriptura" and the Catholic view, offering a deeper understanding of the Christian theology at play. You will also see familiar Latin prayers such as Pater Noster, Ave Maria, and Gloria Patri.
