Sola Scriptura Defended

  From a Catholic:  keep up the mindful and civil dialogue.  I find the more we get in the weeds over scripture and doctrine we agree on most of the "meat and potatoes" of what Christianity is.  I want to come together with my Protestant brothers and sisters because at the end of the day, we are all Christians.  The devil wants us divided.  Let's not let him succeed.  God Bless!

  Hey Dr. Ortlund,<br><br>As someone who gets easily swept up in the vitriol of Catholic/Orthodox/Protestant debates, you&apos;re slogan &apos;Truth Unites&apos; is a breath of fresh air to my soul. It&apos;s very edifying and convicting. Thank you for what you do!

  Though I am a Catholic, I gotta say; I loved this video. You are very warm and loving, thus genuinely a Christian. &quot;They will know we are Christians by our love.&quot;<br><br>I definitely think all sides of the isle could use more of what you are sharing.

  &quot;Respectful disagreement&quot; is so very important. &nbsp;Thanks for making this point.

  Catholic deacon here giving you a like and your channel a recommendation. You are a needed voice for both Catholic and Protestants.

  Hi Dr. Ortlund,<br><br>I&apos;ll admit that I entered this video with a certain (morbid) curiosity about how a Protestant would defend or interpret Sola Scriptura. After watching the entire video, I must say that it was really informative. Although I don’t find myself convinced by most of the points presented, the analogy with the parent’s note was particularly strong and left me without any immediate counterarguments.<br><br>I appreciate your passion for seeking the truth and your respectful approach towards others. Even though we may differ on certain topics, we are still united as Christians. May God bless you and enlighten you, as well as anyone reading this comment.

  I&apos;m just happy that you&apos;ve chosen to not be hostile. Unfortunately, so many of the Catholic videos I&apos;ve seen are, &quot;xxxx DESTROYS sola fida&quot; or &quot;xxx DEBUNKS protestants with ONE VERSE&quot;.

  Recently as a Protestant, I’ve been digging deeper down the rabbit hole of the reformation and hearing the arguments against what we believe concerning scriptures authority, this video has really reassured me of my original conviction of the final authority of scripture.

  Hi Dr. Ortlund - I&apos;m a Catholic who has recently stumbled onto a lot of Austin&apos;s (Gospel Simplicity) videos as well as Matt Fradd and Trent Horn. I really appreciate your addition to the conversation here. <br><br>While I don&apos;t agree with your conclusions, I think you&apos;re being intellectually honest and having these conversations in a really admirable and exemplary way. I think you are furthering these discussions and doing it in a way that invites discussion over disagreement. <br><br>Keep up the great work and thanks for putting the time into articulating your view.
