Sola Scriptura Syllogism

7 comments

I was clearing out some old files on my harddrive today and came across I snippet I copied from somewhere on the Internet:

1. Sola Scriptura [implicitly] says everything we need to know that is necessary for our salvation comes from the Bible alone.

3. Knowing what Scriptures are inspired and what Scriptures are not inspired cannot be known from the Bible.

4. Therefore, Sola Scriptura cannot be true.

I’m not sure, but this seems like something Patrick Vanderpool would write…

Jesus: Roman Invention

Leave a comment

You may have been hearing recently about a guy called Joseph Atwill who is going around saying that he has proof that Jesus was a piece of Roman fiction. If any of your friends post about this on Facebook, I’d invite you to post in response a link to the following article by Catholic Answers apologist, Jimmy Akin.

Jimmy decimates Atwill’s hypothesis. Jimmy can do this because, quite frankly, Atwill’s assertions are utterly ridiculous and probably the worst “mythist” theory I’ve ever heard…
