Can Protestants Really Handle James 2? Trent Horn Says No—Here’s My Response | Weighed in the Balance Ep. 21
from Weighed in the Balance · host Jonathan Brooks & Co
Send us Fan MailJames 2 is often called the “Protestant problem passage,” and Catholic apologist Trent Horn argues that it proves faith alone can’t be true. But is that really what James meant? In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks walks through Horn’s claims and shows why Protestants don’t have to fear James 2. By digging into the context of the letter, the meaning of “justification,” and how James and Paul speak with one voice rather than in contradiction, we uncover why this passage doesn’t undermine the gospel of faith alone—but actually reinforces it. If you’ve ever wondered how Protestants can defend sola fide while taking James seriously, this is the conversation you need to hear.Find Trent's original video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LwEgFig00ASupport the showDo you think this claim is found wanting?
