Has Rome "Won" the Sola Scriptura Debate? A Response to Cameron Rieker | Weighed in the Balance Ep. 6
Manage episode 485336615 series 3662239
In this episode, we respond to a recent video by Cameron Rieker (watch it here) in which he argues that Roman Catholics can "win" the Sola Scriptura debate by demonstrating Catholic doctrine from Scripture via "good and necessary consequence." Cameron claims that if Protestants reject these arguments, it proves Scripture's insufficiency.
We take a closer look at what “good and necessary consequence” actually means and how it's been historically understood. We examine what the Westminster Confession of Faith really teaches on this subject, and whether Cameron accurately represents the Protestant position.
Ultimately, we find that Cameron’s critique fails to grasp the doctrine he's attempting to refute—and that far from winning the debate, he misunderstands its terms entirely.
Do you think this claim is found wanting? Let us know on social!!
