Is there evidence to support the hypothesis, or is it grounded solely in the presuppositions of the unbelieving worldview? Stay until the end and find out. Don't forget to like and subscribe!

The 5 solas came out of the reformation period as a response to the Roman Catholic church adopting and teaching doctrines that were not found in scripture. One of those 5 solas is "sola scriptura," which means "scripture alone." Scripture is the highest standard for the Christian. Not the church or tradition. Join Joel Settecase of  @TheThinkInstitute  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCUo_utaENf2NTzzbZrr3jcg] and Mark as they have a conversation about this important issue. Do protestant christians ignore church tradition or the teachings of church fathers? Is scripture our only authority? These questions and many more are talked about. Remember to like and subscribe.
