Sola Scriptura

Episode 3 · · 81 min

Who has the final authority to bind your conscience? The brothers discuss Scripture’s sufficiency and challenge claims that place church traditions or new revelations above God’s Word.

Ragtown Reformed Forum Episode 3: Sola Scriptura collage contrasting an illuminated Holy Bible with papal and church-council imagery across a torn divide

About this episode

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.

With Tom Miller, David Morris, Gordan Runyan, John Train.
