#222 Orthobro vs. Protestant Christian Debate Over Scripture: Who Has Final Authority?

About this episode

The episode features a debate between an Eastern Orthodox caller and Joel Settecase on the authority of Scripture and the role of tradition in defining truth.

An Eastern Orthodox caller asks, “On what standard do you say Orthodoxy is false?” Joel Settecase turns the authority question back around, pressing whether councils, synods, Church Fathers, and tradition can define their own limits. This intense theology and apologetics exchange ends with a clear Gospel presentation: salvation by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone, according to the Bible alone.===================================================Download your free apologetics guide here: https://thethink.institute/store/p/transcendental-argument-for-god-tag-cheat-sheet-downloadable-pdf Men: Want to become the worldview leader your family and church need?
