Is Sola Scriptura Logically Inconsistent? (A Clear Answer in Response to Sean Hiller)

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Weighed in the Balance, we examine a common Roman Catholic objection: that sola scriptura is logically inconsistent.But is that actually true?Before responding to that claim, we lay out the positive case for sola scriptura, grounded in the Westminster Confession of Faith, and present a clear syllogistic argument: God alone is the final authority  We access that authority through His Word  God’s Word was given orally and in Scripture  Oral revelation has ceased  Therefore, Scripture is now the only access point to God’s final authority From there, we evaluate whether objections to sola scriptura actually demonstrate a logical contradiction, or whether they simply challenge the truth of the premises.We also interact with a video by Sean Hiller and examine several common misunderstandings of the doctrine.00:00 Introduction to Sola Scriptura01:18 The Positive Case for Sola Scriptura05:02 Understanding Final Authority07:57 Logical Consistency of Sola Scriptura12:42 Addressing Objections to Sola Scriptura17:48 The Role of Secondary Authorities21:50 The Importance of Church Authority25:11 Examining Mr. Hiller's Arguments30:11 Clarifying Misunderstandings34:11 Conclusion and Invitation for DiscussionSupport the showDo you think this claim is found wanting?
