Topic

New videos in the Questions Protestants Can't Answer series and a new Balaam's Ride podcast.

Introduction

Okay, this is just a quick notice about some new videos I've put out, plus one person's reaction to my 2nd Balaam's Ride podcast.

On Friday I posted another Balaam's Ride podcast and also 4 new videos from the Questions Protestants Can't Answer series - actually, they're about 15 years old, but I had forgotten all about them and never posted them until now. The links for all of those videos are below.

And, below those links is one guy's reaction to the Balaam's Ride video about Sola Scriptura. He was pretty hacked off about it. I'll give you his reaction here and give you a couple of days to think about how you would respond to what he says. Also, see if you can zero in on the contradictions in his tirade. I'll send out my "official" newsletter on Friday with how I responded to him.

If you think any of these videos are worthy, please consider posting them on your Facebook, X, and/or YouTube pages to help me "spread the word/Word" - particularly so with the Balaam's Ride video. Thanks!

Challenge/Response/Strategy

Response to Balaam's Ride Video from @WalkwiththeSpirit on YouTube

@WalkwiththeSpirit
a) Bro, your arrogance is insane. You do realize Catholic Church literally murdered anyone who questioned them for like 1000 years right?? So the prayer for Unity thing is crap, you also have Scism in the high Church you're not better than Protestants who have denoms. Protestants get along with each other and catholics just like Catholics do the same, You think Unity means we are all in one establishment, nonsense, Your own Churches stance on Prots is not that they are separatist or unfriendly, Catholicism claims unity but authority. Everyone disagrees on stuff, Disagreements means there is work to be done proving doctrine still, if you had sound arguments and logic that is undeniable people would not choose any other Church, but you, like all denoms, have issues and misunderstandings. Disagree does not mean you cannot be one unless you think Paul separating from Barnabas means one of them is anathema? How can catholicism fulfill Jesus prayer? Only prots can because they accept any trinitarian, you only accept your own version, that's YOU breaking unity.

b) Sola Scriptura is not the foundational principle of Protestantism, that's just a bold faced lie. Sola Scriptura does not produce any form of segregation, or are you saying the bible in its face value is a separatist book that needs reinterpretation into a unity book? How can sola scriptura turn Christianity into a democracy? Prots seek their entire lives they don't settle on day one. If anything denying Sola Scriptura leads to heresy and dictatorship. Everyone SHOULD get a vote on doctrine, because interpretations can be wrong, even in the bible people constantly misunderstand Jesus including apostles. Why should all of humanity trust a few peoples incorrect understanding? Saying people cannot authoritatively define doctrine is a huge red flag, you are essentially saying no one can then. Kingdom? There is no slave or master in heaven, there is ONE King of Kings, you think God is heirarchical like ROME was before it failed miserably? No. No one in Protestantism denies the apostles, they usually claim apostolic succession that broke off at some point, this is absolute cope. Sola Scriptura cannot fail, or Jesus words are meaningless?

c) Plenty of people believe in sola scriptura I am not a protestant, but no, they don't all think their own interpretation is the way, they think the bible is clear, and it is. I am a logical necessitist at best, I don't mince words or go half truths, you're the one passing opinion and emotion as fact here. "What that means is" is a perfect way to start a sentence about what something means. You are trying to pretend the word of God is the word of other MEN while they are relying on the word of God, it is YOU who is reliant on men, and it's painfully obvious. The only reason to deny the veracity of Sola Scriptura is if you do not have the Holy Spirit.

d) If Catholicism worked, there would not be EO, OO or Protestants then, by the same standard. Catholicism is fragmented within itself, tons of different types of church and sects, and no they don't all agree, or do you affirm gay churches? I bet you don't. Saying protestantism is rotten for relying on mens interpretation when you do exactly that is peak irony. If scripture is secondary to interpretation, then how come they have to read before they can interpret? LOL

e) top down authority claims are cute. true kingdom structure involves hundreds of years of massacres? interesting lie. Where is your authority? in the guys who were running around conquering the planet and murdering in Gods name?! Get off your horse. Is your authority in the mass amount of child abuse scandles? Let me guess only the good things count, but only for your denom, right? Catholicism can be the solution to division when they accept the whole truth, stop trying to run fear driven logic that doesn't track. Entirely possible, but first we will have to see the pope denounce false religions for what they are and take his foot off your already aching necks.

f) Your goal is 100% to prove prots wrong, and I'm not even a prot I can smell it a mile off. To overcome division maybe try giving true interpretations instead of lies in your videos? what is truth? Not your hogwash. Christians dont have to agree on moral truth or doctrinal truth, salvation yes, but you don't understand salvation so that's only going to cook yourself. No, only by letting people do their study and guiding without force can we be one, opposite of your Church essentially.

g) 0 proof that Sola Scriptura causes any division, that's throwing a scapegoat onto your own issues. plenty people follow sola scriptura Honestly, this is not it bro.
