O TYM ODCINKU
Bill and Rich discuss why some men move from rootless American evangelicalism toward Eastern Orthodoxy or Roman Catholicism in search of historical continuity and certainty, then frame the core dispute as an authority and epistemology question: Rome’s “Pope says,” the East’s “Church says,” and Protestantism’s “Bible says.” They argue that classic, magisterial Protestantism affirms real church authority and tradition under Scripture while maintaining Scripture as the highest and only infallible authority, distinguishing sola Scriptura from “solo Scriptura.” They recommend Keith Mathison, Martin Chemnitz, Calvin, and Michael Kruger, defend the self-attesting nature of Scripture and an organic recognition of the canon, critique Vincent of Lérins’ canon as romanticized when used to support papal or conciliar infallibility, and address Septuagint vs. Masoretic issues, urging listeners to study further.
