Did Jesus Give Us a Church or the Bible? | Catholicism’s Worst Argument

from The Least of These Podcast with Jayni Jackson · host Jayni Jackson

Did Jesus come to give us a church or a Bible? Catholics and Orthodox often claim “the church came before the Bible,” but when you trace the biblical story from Genesis to Revelation, a very different picture emerges. The Word of God has always created the people of God—not the other way around. From creation itself, to the covenant with Abraham, to the calling of the apostles, to the birth of the church in Acts—the Word comes first. In this video, we’ll dismantle the common Catholic/Orthodox argument about canon and tradition, show how the magisterium ends up claiming lordship over Scripture itself, and demonstrate why the biblical pattern is clear: without the Word, there is no church. This is not about diminishing the church—it’s about protecting it by keeping it where it belongs: under the authority of God’s Word.#Bible #ChurchHistory #Protestant #Catholic #Orthodox #SolaScriptura #SolaEcclesia #Christianity #ChristianDoctrine #Apologetics #BiblicalTruth #Gospel #ScriptureAlone #WordOfGod #FaithComesByHearing #Acts #Reformation #BiblicalAuthority #ChristianApologetics #Theology #Exegesis #JesusChrist #ChurchVsBible #ChristianPodcast #LeastOfThesePodcast
