#1134 - Is Sola Scriptura True? (Anthony Rogers vs. Trent Horn)

Podcast cover

The Counsel of Trent

The debate centers on Sola Scriptura, the doctrine that the Bible is the sole infallible rule of faith for Christians. Anthony argues for Sola Scriptura, asserting Scripture is self-authenticating, inspired, inerrant, sufficient, and clear, functioning as the ultimate norm for Christian faith and practice. He supports his claims by quoting scripture and the church fathers. Trent counters that the Bible doesn't explicitly teach Sola Scriptura and that the early church didn't adhere to it. He challenges the clarity and sufficiency of Scripture, pointing to disagreements among Protestants on key doctrines and questions how one can define what is and isn't scripture. The debaters discuss the canon of scripture, the role of tradition, and the authority of the church.
