Two "SOLA SCRIPTURA" Verses Every Catholic Should Hightlight 

I block and boot trolls. Irenic or serious comments and questions are 100% welcome. One strike rule. You troll, you magically and instantly disappear as soon as I see the comment.

Kenny you are fantastic! I’m a 58 year old cradle Catholic. I’ve been looking for a teacher just like you for years and years. Thank you so much ❤

I appreciate this video ! I also appreciated your testimony about converting to Catholicism. My wife and I started attending a Foursquare church in ‘20 and after a year felt a call into ministry and now I’m about to finish an online BA degree in ministry and leadership from Oral Roberts university. Yet I feel such a call to Catholicism and not sure what to do next everything I thought I knew I feel I don’t anymore… prayers appreciated

Yes, it is! Praise be to God! Thank you so much, Brother Kenny Burchard, for this amazing explanation!

A+!!!! Can’t wait to highlight my Bibles and have this conversation with dear Protestant friends.

KENNY you blow me away every time you teach. Keep it up brother.

Always worth pointing out who Timothy was. Not a random person who just wondered in and got a Bible but a Bishop. Also in 1 Timothy 3:15 Saint Paul says the Church is the pillar and bulwark of the truth. Biggest problem with Sola Scriptura is who is doing the interpreting.

Excellent point about Ephesians 4. Definitely highlighted that. Thanks.

Wow thanks so much Kenny never seen these passages with this historical, and contextual perspective. Praise the Lord and may he keeps lay his blessing upon you and your ministry.

Awesome video. I always like asking my Protestant friends under what authority did Peter and Paul decide that circumcision was no longer required. It was a vision from God. Had they just relied on scripture alone they would have had to refer to Genesis and see that it teaches Circumsicion is required.

I meet with my protestant friend monthly and discuss a topic. This verse comes up a lot. I have to always remind him that we agree on this yet he has made this verse say something it doesn't. Then we go to why we worship Mary (his words not mine). Interesting point of the timeline.

Last week I got highlighter I now own some crayola twist! And I ordered a wide margin Bible, I can’t wait to get it. Your catholic highlights is awesome, I have walked through the highlights from the crucifix episode with my youngest daughter who says she is “free grace”. We had the best conversation on each point and she attended 5 pm mass with me last night after almost 10 years of not stepping foot in a Catholic Church. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate how simply you go through these passages in the Bible. Thank you!

This is singlehandedly the best way to battle sola scriptura and any minority that deviated from the body of the larger apostolic church. Thank you for this!

Well done Kenny Burchard. I hope you do a deep dive on one of my favorites, 2Pet1:20, “First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation” It’s in the Bible!

God bless you and your family for defending our Catholic faith in which should every Catholic suppose to do.

Thank so much Kenny for these tips.. I'll also mention 1 Timothy 3,15 .

Bravo! Well done, Kenny! I knew both passages but never made that connection.

Wow!! Rock solid argument!!

Wonderfully excellent resplendent informative presentation Catholic Brother Kenny, I truly hope that you’ll be able to reach out to countless Catholics who are so unlearned in the Catholic Church and faith.May the All Glorious Exalted Praise worthy Thankworthy and All Powerful Holy Trinity Bless Guide Increase and Protect Your Holy Works in the Catholic Church for the rest of your Day’s AMEN DEO GRATIS ALLELUIA HOSANNA IN EXCELSIS DEO GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO 🙏🐑🕊️✨🔥

Thank you for your word of God, teach all who has lost and gone astray , keep up the good work one love brother man.

Thank you brother for this amazing helpful video! Please keep them coming! God bless you🙏

I would like to add 3 more verses - John 20:30, John 21:25, & 2 Thessalonians 2:15 All three of these verse reinforce not everything is in the Bible, so we must hold fast to the traditions we have been taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter...

Scripture to be highlighted 2 Tim 3 : 16 - 17 Ephes 4 : 11 - 14

I don’t see the point of the not-yet-written New Testament books. Because protestants are not looking at when, whatever books, were written. They simple say all of scripture, is the sole authority for the Christian. John 16:12&13, says His Bride Church is Holy Ghost guided….the guidance per verse 13, which is, what Bridegroom is telling His Bride, which is what verse 12 is saying. Ask 10 protestants to define the church, and you will get 5 to 10 different answers. They say there is no authority of the church because there is no real body of people called the church, to the protestant mind. Allegedly they go by the Bible. Yet the Bible always says, the church in or the church at, a particular location. It’s never Susie‘s church here or Jimmy’s church there. It’s always, THE church in such & such location.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips, Kenny. I also highlight bible verses on my bibles. I use a community Catholic Bible, Good News Bible and a KJV. I'm alao going to order the new Ignatius Bible with reviews by Scott Hahn. God bless us all in our journey to the Christian truth of our Catholic faith.

The Bible was canonized by the Catholic Church around 400 AD. Then, around 1800, the Protestants removed the seven books. So, if we assume that the 66 books are the proper canon, then for around 1800 years, there was no authority or reliable authority. Our understanding of the faith before the 1800 period is all questionable. And God waited 1800 years before He revealed the true and complete understanding of the Christian faith.

Thank you for your video brother it was helpful.

Thank your for doing this video and hopefully many more. I had looked into this text before, but didn't make the connection to Ephesians 4:11-14. This has been very enlightening and I'm looking forwards to future "highlights". Thank you for your ministry. God bless you.

I love this!! Looking forward to more videos on Bible highlights. A lot of my Bibles are highlighted but I only had three words in this passage highlighted; "unity of the faith". I'm highlighting the entire passage now. Thank you for the apologetics and inspiration.

Wow Kenny, great video and your troll patrol is a great idea. I would love to see all YT videos, both Protestant and Catholic, do the same. That's a great way to help train us all to develop a respectful approach to dialog. Is that a YT feature available to every channel host like yourself? If so, I'm going to start recommending it in comments. Thanks.

Thank you

the 1st Edition of the KJV had the Deuterocanonicals and all the Saints' Feast days. Apparently, protestants think it wasn't "God-breathed".

Hey. I really appreciate and agreed with this video. My question to you is, Why then does the offices mentioned in Ephesians not exit in the Catholic Church today? I’ve never heard of a functioning prophet or apostle in Catholicism.

Thanks Kenny! Please bear with me if I am a bit long in debunking sola scriptura which even the Bible itself does not teach. I hope you can read my whole posts [in 3 parts] as additional inputs for you and your viewers. Part 1 ✔ You said correctly that historically, no Bible existed in AD64-65 when Paul wrote to Timothy at Ephesus. The Bible officially came to existence only in AD382 (when Pope Damasus, Bishop of Rome, proclained the official canon of the Bible) and in AD397 when the council of Carthage promulgated the same official list of 72 books to combat the proliferations of pseudo-epigrapha or fake or un-inspired writing proliferating in those days. ✔ Moroveor, Paul and Timothy were both Jewish converts, and what Paul called πᾶσα γραφὴ (Pasa Graphe) = All (that is) written (2 Tim 3.15) was not the Bible we have today, but about the Hebrew Scripture called the Tanakh which they have in its Greek Septuagint version. So contextually, the πᾶσα γραφὴ (Pasa Graphe) = All (that is) written (2 Tim 3.15) was not pointing nor pertaining to the Bible that we know today. ✔ You also correctly pointed out that the word μόνος (mónos) was not in the text. But even if ONLY was used an adverb for the past-participle θεόπνευστος (Theo-pneustos) which literary means 'God-breathed' or dynamically rendered as 'inspired' - it still does not present or presuppose any authority on the Tanakh nor did the text present the Tanakh as a basis of authority. ✔ Moreover, Paul has absolutely no right to designate who was supposed to be the authority over his Church other than those under his jurisdiction as an ἐπίσκοπος (Episkopos or Bishop i.e. all the Episkopos (like Timothy) and πρεσβύτερος (Presbyteros or priests) and διάκονος (diakonos or deacons) whom he ordained under his ecclesiastical jurisdiction. ONLY JESUS CHRIST has this right to appoint the authority of very his Church being its founder.

Immediate subscribe, brother. 👍🇻🇦

This is great

So more videos like this addressing each Protestant argument!

PART 3 It is a Bible fact that... ✔ Jesus Christ commissioned men, not books; the NT calls these men "SENT" or in NT Greek, APOSTOLOS (ἀπόστολος) and not BIBLOS (Βύβλος or books). ✔ Jesus Christ sent them to preach the good news (Mk 16), not to write and distribute books. ✔ Jesus Christ advised them "He who hears you, hears me" (Lk 10.16) and did not say "He who reads your writings, hears me." ✔ the Aposltles went around Judea and outside Judea to the confines of the Roman world preaching about the good news without Bibles, and did not distribute any Bible. With a low literacy rate in those days, the absence of printing press, and the slow transport system, there was no way to reproduce and distribute Bibles because the Bible officially existed only in AD397. ✔ Paul himself confirmed that faith comes from hearing, NOT from reading or writings. Rom 10.17 God bless you and your family, Kenny! Laudetur Jesus Christus!

Protestants like to quote one verse. That's like quoting one sentence out of novel to understand the novel.

❤

Highlighted.

As Catholics we don't mark up our bibles. I think for me it was out of reverence for the word of God. I now highlight verses that I want to remember

Great stuff

I think this is helpful and want to add more to the 2 Timothy 3:16 to 17 that most people miss. It states that all scripture is useful for training men into righteousness. That ought to mean that every command in the scriptures is useful for helping any man to be righteous. No Christian denomination believes that today. There are passages in the scriptures that do command the foreigner to be circumcised. If 2 Timothy 3:14-17 is true, then the command to circumcise the foreigner ought to be useful today, but no one today believes Gentile ought to be circumcised. We see that whoever really composed 2 Timothy (my Catholic Bible tells me it was probably not Paul) didn't believe the Christian faith like we believe it today. Again, when people throw 2 Timothy 3:14-17 at you, in response, you find a command in the Law of Moses that is not done today, that is seen as been abrogated today, and you insist that the author of 2 Timothy believed that command wasn't abrogated for Gentiles like Timothy. Watch your opponent go into damage control insisting that 2 Timothy 3:14-17 can't mean that and just keep reiterating its what the author wrote, they must believe that all of the Law of Moses still applies to every man today. It's fun to watch your opponent flail. Just recall all the times they tried to make you look silly.

New subscribere here👋... Pro Deo et ecclesia

The BEREANS!!! They are perhaps the greatest argument AGAINST sola scriptura. They lived and breathed the scriptures. They studied them. They discussed them. They pondered them. They disputed over them. They were totally consumed with 24/7/365 scripture. In all of this immersion in scripture, they missed one. tiny. detail. JESUS CHRIST! They had zero idea that Jesus of Nazareth was the long awaited Messiah. Even when Paul preached Christ to them, they had their doubts. They ran back to scripture to test what Paul preached. EVEN THEN! Not all of them converted! They were more noble than the Thessalonians, but that is not saying much! Poor examples to hold up. Bereans, have you believed because you have read? Blessed are those who have NOT read, and have believed.

2nd Tlmothy 3:13-17 especially 15

Great breakdown Brother!

More of these

Truth is black and white. God owns all Truth. Truth is objective, not subjective. Tradition can be subjective. It can change through the centuries. We can confidently use the Bible as a measuring stick - synonyms for the phrase ‘measuring stick’ include a standard or benchmark. The Bible is the benchmark for truth, the book we can use to compare against other things in our life. We tend to use other frames of reference when searching for the truth in other areas or subjects - a school teacher may use a list of correct answers (the truth) for a math quiz to compare to how the students answered, or a dashcam video (the truth) can show what happened in a car accident when both parties blame the other for the accident. This is the case for the Bible - it is a book of Truth and there is no other source that can make the Bible appear as a falsehood. The Bible can be used as a benchmark against other religious books, other religions, including those that look and act like Christianity (LDS, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc.) It roots out all false gospels. You are prob familiar with John 1:1-2 where it states in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God…..and you’d prob agree that the “Word” mentioned in these verses is Jesus. Jesus represents all words in the Bible; the Bible is about Him firstly. And since Jesus created the world, the Bible (in its written form) had been planned from the beginning, along with everything else. Jesus used men to put it all together. Look at how the Israelites (through the different generations) are patterned throughout the Old Testament as having turned away from God and started to worship other gods, or do other detestable things. He then has a prophet speak to them using His words - Words that spring from His mouth. He uses His words to get the Israelites back on track (for a while at least :) ) - He does not use any other source or idea like the traditions of men. So my point in mentioning this is that humanity (regardless of culture or country) is fickle and fallible and God knows this. That is why He does not use anything from humanity for correction (meaning our opinions or thoughts/ideas), only His Word. How does one use Tradition to measure against fallacies or false gospels?

Ok...let's just go along with the idea that those books were not yet written. I don't have a problem with that. Since God, is ultimately the author of all of scripture, regardless of when it was written, and Paul and others who wrote were merely instruments of God as was their free will agency in writing the text, God clearly was not bound by time in making the statement through Paul regarding what the scripture was meant to accomplish. So, I don't think that the fact some books had not yet been written is a problem with the concept of progressive revelation. Additionally, did not Jesus berate the Pharisees for placing tradition over scripture? 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?" 6 And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me. (Mk. 7:5-6 NAS) It would seem to me that Jesus adhered to this concept of scripture having preeminence. So, there is some weight behind sola scriptura when it is affirmed in practice by Jesus himself.

Kenny, welcome to theological truth and Christianity. Hoping also that you would have acknowledged all those Catholics for their efforts in convincing you that there is only one version of Truth rather than a multiple versions of truth, and that the truth only exist as you now know in the Catholic church. Welcome home, Kenny, to you and family.

👍

2 chapters every Catholic/prodestants should know Mark 9 and 2 Peter 1.... explains away so many of the prodestant myths of Catholics and their personal interpretations

BULL'S EYE!! Sola sriptura annihilated!!

😅😅😅😅😅

My Bible is highlighted and I have a better understanding of these two versus. Ready for the next episode. Thank you

I have now written these in my note taking Bible.

I would add 2 Timothy 2:2 as an alternative to Sola Scriptura. You can show the contradictions of Sola Scriptura but the Protestant will just fall back on the idea that this is the best we have. But Paul clearly tells Timothy to guard what Paul taught Timothy and to teach other men who will be able to teach others. Right there is apostolic succession and is a clear teaching for how the faith is supposed to be passed on. There is not a single command from Jesus or the Apostles about copying the writings of the apostles and that Christian’s are to hold to only those writings. Not a single verse although they try to use 1 Tim 3:15-16 to support this idea. But not only does 2 Tim 2:2 refute Sola Scriptura but it also explains how the faith is supposed to be transmitted.

Well done. Love the concept. Great balance of apologetics and how-to. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant idea for a series, Kenny. Thak you for coming over to our side and home to Jesus' one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

This is simply a AMAZING idea! This is Holy Spirt lead to edify the Body of Christ.

My douay rheims was way to expensive to be marking up. It's in latin and English

God Bless you brother!

Thank you, Mr. Burchard! Excellent pinned comment about blocking 🚫 Intellectual honesty is lacking with some "opposing" views. Regurgitation of the same ole' talking points is not useful. Before spewing nonsense, an honest attempt to research would quickly dispel many misunderstandings and assumptions. I am personally looking forward to the series.

Thank you Brother for your Catholic clarity.GOD BLESS YUOR WOORK FOR THE CHURCH

Thank you brother Kenny. This was sooo helpful.

Thank you for this series!!!

God bless you Sir Kenny!

If you talk to every Protestant it seems the Holy Spirit is confuse because each one of them is telling that they are being touch by the Holy Spirit but they have different interpretation with the scriptures that is why they are more than forty thousand Christian denomination in the world because their authority is the bible not the church. 1 Timothy 3-15

We need more

So good

Technically, sola scriptura is false. In the early days of Christianity, not too many people are literate. Even if they are literate, not too many of them speak or read Latin/ Greek, the languages used in the bible. Printing press was invented in the 1400's. Mass printing of the bible became possible years later. Christians rely on the church to HEAR the gospel. The monks manually copied the scriptures. and the copies are limited to the church. So where were the 'christians' who insist on sola scriptura during those times? Only people who can not handle the truth would still cling to this false idea.

It's interesting what the more bare-bones conception of sola scriptura has become. Jews appealed to the old testament vs the teachings of Christians which were not written at the time the former first objected to them

Great job, as always!

To me i always ask to them who made the bible before we discuss every words writen on it. and many of them become neutralize from being aggresive talking about bibble, so that question make them uncomtable to answer becuase if the aswer it it will shown that catholic is mainly the responsable .

In England, I don't have problems with protestants berating me for my faith. As both believe in Jesus. We don't have so many different denominations mainly three or four only. The problems we have are Muslims banging on and questioning me getting angrier and angrier, if you do not agree. In a taxi ride, 30 minutes kept saying I'm English I'm not comfortable discussing my faith with you. May as well been speaking Chinese. When I arrived home paid him said this is your tip, in England don't discuss politics or religion with people you don't know. Especially at nighttime, as you will get hurt, this is for your safety. I'm a woman , but do this to an English man regardless whether he is religious or not, you will become extremely uncomfortable as he could possibly take you up on your anger and thump you. There is no discussion with Muslims as they do eventually become more and more angry if you don't agree with them. Better not to discuss or ask to be dropped off at the nearest point where you can get a train or another taxi. It's that bad in England.

Really good stuff! Keep it up, saving this vid to my verbum highlight

text sad "all scripture are breath of god" not "only all scripture are breath of god"

The Bible is the main reason why I became Catholic. My wife bought me a notetaking Catholic Bible for Father's Day. That Bible is highlighted all over and I write what God tells me in the margins.

So Kenny, nice video. First one of yours I've watched. My only question after all your explanation is, what do I need outside of scripture to enter into the gates of Heaven and spend eternity with my Lord and Savior? Also, do you call yourself a teacher? By what authority are you a teacher as you talked about them in Eph 4?

A catechist once told me “Text without context is pretext.” Any two people can read the same text, but without context, each can declare himself correct even though they are opposed. The Catholic Church has always taught the correct context because they have had the teaching authority (Holy Spirit) since the canon was set. Pretext allows for human agendas and now here we are, with 30k+ Christian denominations, each with their own interpretation of Scripture. The Protestant rebellion makes every man his own pope!

This is one of the best explanations of an issue I have had with my Protestant friends and extended family members. I look forward to future conversations about other Bible verses. This is very helpful! Thank you, Kenny!

Love you Kenny, but I absolutely cannot bring myself to highlight books and certainly not the Bible. The most I'll do is flip down a corner of the page when I come across something thought provoking, but in the context of the Bible, every page corner would need to flipped down 😂 Ever since I saw your testimony with Marcus Grodi, I've always thought you'd be a good candidate to start a online channel. May the precious blood of Jesus cover you, your family, those who work with you, for you and their families, preserve you from sin, and make you a stalwart defender of our Lord and Lady, through Christ our Lord, amen. ✝️

keep it up .. ❤

This is gold thankyou for this video 👍

Chapter by Chapter, Verse by verse Catholic Bible Studies are sorely needed! Especially for the Apocryphal Books!

As a Catholic I don't recommend this version. Get a DRV with Haydock's commentary notes or even a Knox study Bible. I bought this bible because it was highly rated but as a Catholic Religious Studies major I was sooo disappointed .

What Bible ISBN number do you recommend for highlighting and marking up ?

Or you can just read the protestante verse in context using 2 or 3 back and front you can find the answer to there question. 2 Timothy 3 if you read the whole chapter. It actually rebukes their argument. 3,2 “disobedient to their parents” who are there parents in the faith? 3,10 “you, however know all about my teaching” underline the word; “teaching” and mention the fact that Paul was speaking

As a Protestant you had a good point in Ephesians. To help your argument before I say mine. Many could not easily read and write and NEEDED a teacher. However The manuscripts used to create NT and also used for apologetics when debating atheists show that they still were being copied and passed around to normal people. They have spelling and word errors that wouldn’t occur in the educated authority class. This shows even the early Christians before bible was created were in fact passing around scripture.

Excellent! Keep it going Bro. I will subscribe and follow. Peace.

Oh man, this takes me back to my SBC days when I used to have like 3 different colors that I used to highlight scripture passages! By the time I was done, the Gospel of John looked like some day-glow rave party! I highlight much more sparingly now, and I use one of the Bible-Hi-Glider gel highlighter. Even on the thinnest pages, it does not bleed onto the reverse side.
