How Catholics and Orthodox Get John 16:13 Wrong - A Protestant Response

What if one of the most quoted verses in defense of Church authority doesn’t actually mean what you’ve been told it means? In this video, we take a deep dive into John 16:13—a verse often used by Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox apologists to defend the idea of infallible Church leadership. But when we step back and look at the full context of Jesus’ words, we find something entirely different. This wasn’t a blanket promise to Church councils or future popes—it was a specific promise to the apostles, tied directly to their unique role in laying the foundation of the faith. So if the Spirit guided them into all truth, what does that mean for us today? Join us as we untangle centuries of misinterpretation, reclaim the true meaning of this powerful verse, and rediscover how the Holy Spirit actually leads believers—not through evolving tradition, but through the Word He already inspired. Don’t settle for secondhand truth—go back to the source.
