A Catholic Apologist Tried to Refute Me… But Proved My Point

💰 DONATE & SUPPORT: https://givebutter.com/canonandcreed Recently, a Roman Catholic apologist named Eric (@Catholic_Christian) engaged with a presentation I gave interacting with the Joe Heschmeyer (Roman Catholic) and Doug Wilson (Presbyterian) debate on Sola Scriptura. And it was claimed that I misrepresented the Roman Catholic view by engaging in equivocation. But, ironically, Eric's response actually ended up providing us with a perfect example of the exact thing I warned Protestants about in my presentation and told them they need to be on the look out for — a subtle shifting of categories in an attempt to refute the actual claims being presented. Which is why, inn this video, my friend and Anglican apologist Sean Luke (@anglicanaesthetics) joins me to work through this issue to better help Protestants see what the real dividing line is when it comes to the rule of faith discussion as well as to demonstrate that our opponents need to do a better job of listening before critiquing.
