Liberal Apostasy Is Not the Fruit of Sola Scriptura

Dr. James White responds to a Protestia report on the Presbyterian Church USA's latest General Assembly numbers — including membership dropping below one million for the first time — and to a viral clip of a United Methodist pastor denying that the Bible is the Word of God. White walks through the demographic decline of the PCUSA and other mainline bodies he describes as theologically exhausted, then turns to his main argument: that Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Mormon apologists who point to these denominations as "the fruit of sola scriptura" are misrepresenting both the doctrine and the denominations. His contention is that these bodies abandoned belief in the inspiration and authority of Scripture generations ago, so their decline can't be laid at the feet of a doctrine they no longer hold. He then reacts to the Methodist pastor's claim that neither modern Christians nor the earliest Christians regarded the Bible as the literal words of God, arguing this reflects modernist theological liberalism rather than the historic Christian view of Scripture — and referencing J. Gresham Machen's argument that Christianity and liberalism are two different religions.
