Is Catholicism Really the Safer Bet? Why Brian Holdsworth 's Wager Falls Apart

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

Brian Holdsworth says Catholicism is the “safer bet”—but what if the very wager he uses turns against him? In this response, I expose the deep flaws in his Pascal’s Wager argument, his shallow caricature of Protestant beliefs, and the dangerous assumption that Rome’s gospel is just a “fuller” version of the truth. Spoiler: it’s not. If trusting in Christ alone is enough, then adding saints, icons, and Marian dogmas isn’t safer—it’s spiritual risk. This video is not just a rebuttal. It’s a challenge to think clearly, honestly, and biblically. Because the real danger isn’t rejecting Catholicism—it’s believing it offers salvation when it doesn’t.
