Episode 3 · Length: 81:51
Who has the right to bind your conscience—God speaking in Scripture, or popes, councils, living prophets, and religious organizations that claim you need them to understand what God has said? In this episode, the Ragtown Reformed Forum argues that Sola Scriptura demolishes every man-made rival to biblical authority, confronting Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and even Protestant churches whenever they elevate fallible traditions or new revelations above the sufficient Word of God.
At the microphones: Tom Miller, David Morris, Gordan Runyan, John Train
