[responsivevoice_button] We are going to take a look at an article from Creation Ministries International by Dr. Jonathan Sarfati about whether using the Bible to prove the Bible is circular: All philosophical systems start with axioms (presuppositions), or non-provable propositions accepted as true, … Continue reading The Unbreakable Circle
[responsivevoice_button] Jason Engwer had some helpful thoughts at T-blog that were left in the comments of an article: Catholics have their own equivalents of sola scriptura, so one way of evaluating their objections to sola scriptura is to consider what … Continue reading Sola Ecclesia

This is a collection of arguments against Sola Scriptura from Catholics. They really will be the same old arguments used by them but a collection of the refutations to them.

The papacy is needed for proper interpretation of the Bible and to reject it leads to “chaos”(30,000 Denominations): Clashing with Catholicism If … Continue reading Papal Poison
This debate that was supposed to be a debate about indulgences turned into a debate about Church Authority and Protestant canon. Peter lives in the modern time where epistemology is done without any regard for metaphysics, but that hasn’t been the narrative throughout history. Williams only challenges to White in this debate was about his way of coming to a knowledge of the canon.

I recently got into an exchange with a classical apologist, Spencer Hawkins. So, the credit goes to him. Here’s how it went: “1) Your first move is to shift the burden of proof.
