How I Concluded “Scripture Alone” Was False While Still a Protestant | Ep. 20
Episode 20
CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM
In this episode, Joshua Charles unveils how he concluded—even while he was still a protestant—that "sola scriptura" (or "Scripture alone") was a false doctrine.
He explains how he reached this conclusion in two primary ways: he recognized "sola scriptura" was both logically incoherent, and inconsistent with the sacred history recounted in the Bible itself.
To his shock and amazement, Joshua's intuitions were ultimately confirmed by a famous and well-respected protestant teacher and theologian who advocated "sola scriptura."
