Scary Luther Quotes Won’t Save Trent Horn | Weighed in the Balance Ep. 23

Send us Fan MailCatholic apologist Trent Horn loves to bring out Martin Luther quotes that sound shocking or extreme, especially when trying to argue that Protestants can’t make sense of James 2. And to be fair—we’re happy to admit that Luther sometimes got James 2 wrong. But here’s the key point: Protestants don’t follow Martin Luther, we follow Scripture. In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks unpacks Horn’s latest arguments, showing how they rely on strawmen, selective soundbites, and bad faith debate tactics. We’ll take a closer look at what Luther really said, why his misstep doesn’t undermine the doctrine of justification by faith alone, and how Protestants can respond when Catholics try to score easy points by twisting history. If you’ve ever been rattled by “scary Luther quotes” or confused about the role of works in salvation, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a renewed trust in the gospel.Find Trent's original video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LwEgFig00ASupport the showDo you think this claim is found wanting?
