He Rejected Catholic Tradition—Then Couldn’t Explain His Own Bible | Sam Shamoun Answers

✝️ Deepen your formation in Catholic apologetics—Subscribe:    / @samshamounanswers   Video Description: A Protestant caller challenges Catholic teaching—but his argument quickly runs into a deeper problem: how does he know which books belong in the Bible? The New Testament does not contain an inspired table of contents. The Gospel of Matthew does not identify Matthew as its author inside the text, and forged writings were also circulated under apostolic names. So who preserved the Scriptures, recognized the authentic books, and handed them down to later generations? In this discussion, the caller also raises objections about the meaning of “Catholic,” Constantine, incense, candles, confession, the Rosary, and Christian tradition. The conversation then turns to Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple from the apostolic age who referred to the “Catholic Church” at the beginning of the second century. The real dilemma is simple: if all Christian tradition is rejected, how can Protestantism explain the identity, authorship, and twenty-seven-book canon of its own New Testament? Watch the full exchange and decide whether the argument against Catholic tradition ultimately refutes Catholicism—or undermines the Protestant position itself.
