This video tackles one of the biggest contradictions in Protestant theology: claiming "Bible alone" while relying entirely on tradition to know which books belong in the Bible.

We're diving deep into the irony of sola scriptura—the doctrine that says Scripture is the only authority, yet can't be found in Scripture itself. If you've ever wondered who decided there are exactly 27 books in the New Testament, or where the Bible says the apostolic office ended, or why Jesus never once taught "Bible alone"—this is for you.

The uncomfortable truth? Every Protestant inherited the canon of Scripture from 1,500 years of Catholic tradition, then turned around and rejected tradition entirely. You can't have it both ways.

We'll explore:

- How the New Testament canon was formed (spoiler: not by Scripture)

- Why "Bible alone" contradicts 2 Thessalonians 2:15

- The historical reality of how Christianity actually functioned for 1,500 years

- Why thousands of contradictory denominations exist today

- What Jesus actually said about His Church in Matthew 16:18

This isn't about attacking Protestants—it's about honest conversation. If you claim to follow only the Bible, you need to reckon with the fact that the Bible never makes that claim about itself. Meanwhile, it explicitly commands holding fast to oral and written tradition.

You don't reject tradition. You just reject admitting you follow tradition.

Let's talk about it.
