Summary
I'm doing something different today.
I want to share with you a debate between Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid and Protestant apologist James White on the topic of Sola Scriptura.
This debate took place in 1993—I was just 10 years old!!
Watch as James White argues that Christians should view the Bible as the sole, infallible rule of faith. And then watch as Patrick Madrid counters with the Catholic view on the Bible's role in our faith lives.
This debate sent SHOCKWAVES through the Christian church in 1993, and I think it's just as powerful today as it was back then. Big thanks to Pat Madrid for letting us share it.

Enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | G'day and welcome to Pints with Aquinas. My name is Matt Fraider. I hope you're doing |
| 0:05.1 | very well. We have a very awesome episode in store for you today, very different than usual. |
| 0:12.9 | I'm going to share with you a debate between Catholic Apologist Patrick Madrid and Protestant |
| 0:18.8 | Apologist James White on the topic of Solar Script Tourer. Now this debate took place |
| 0:26.2 | in 1993. I was 10 years old and I remember shortly after my conversion wondering about |
| 0:34.5 | Solar Script Tourer. I downloaded this debate. I had to pay money to get it, of course. It |
| 0:40.4 | was fantastic. I just thought that Patrick Madrid did the Catholic position justice. |
| 0:47.3 | That's my opinion. You might come up with a different opinion. I contacted Pat Madrid |
| 0:51.6 | and I said, would it be okay if I just shared this debate for free on YouTube because |
| 0:56.2 | it is so incredible. And even though it's older and so the recording is not as crystal |
| 1:01.5 | clear as this, it is absolutely spectacular. And he said, yes. So that's why we're sharing |
| 1:06.5 | this. Let me read to you the description that Pat has on his website. And then I'll tell |
| 1:11.7 | you a little bit about James White and Patrick Madrid. This is that debate you've been |
| 1:16.9 | hearing about. A classic you won't want to miss. Patrick Madrid debates James White |
| 1:22.2 | on the question. Does the Bible, sorry, does the Bible, whenever I miss speak, I just |
| 1:28.8 | blame it on my Australian accent. If I say Bible, you wouldn't know the difference. It's |
| 1:33.8 | an Australian thing. Let's see here. Does the Bible teach Solar Script Tourer? In this |
| 1:40.0 | no holds bar debate, the Protestant Apologist makes his case for why he thinks Christians |
| 1:45.9 | should view the Bible as the sole infallible rule of faith for Christians. Patrick Madrid |
| 1:51.3 | then presents a Catholic critique of those arguments and tries to make the case for why the |
| 1:55.9 | Bible nowhere teaches the notion of the formal sufficiency of scripture. This debate is regarded |
| 2:05.1 | by many as their all time favorite Catholic verse Protestant debate on the important subject |
