Why Sola Scriptura Keeps Losing (Even When It’s True)

💰 DONATE & SUPPORT: https://givebutter.com/canonandcreed Why do some modern Protestant and evangelical defenses of sola scriptura feel… weak—even if they’re actually right? How have seasoned Protestants argued for Scriptures sufficiency in the past? And how does it compare with what we often hear today? In this Canon & Creed livestream, we will listen to an exchange between Ryan from NeedGod.net (@NeedGodnet) and an Eastern Orthodox individual and slow the conversation down to see why so many of these discussions never land—often feeling confusing and unproductive. And what we will find is that Roman Catholic and Orthodox objections to Scripture’s sufficiency can appear stronger than they are when the responses offered are too thin. Canon & Creed investigates intriguing questions about Christianity, the Bible, and the Church — tracing answers through Scripture, church history, and the historic Protestant tradition. The goal is to help Christians think clearly and stand confidently in a destabilizing age.
