| 0:14.9 | Hello, Bussar. |
| 0:15.7 | Today, we're going to go through all the objections we could think of to Soliscriptura. |
| 0:21.6 | We're going to, I shouldn't say all the objections, all the arguments against Soliscriptura. |
| 0:28.6 | But we're going to pose all the challenges that we can think of regarding Soliscriptura. |
| 0:32.6 | So the Sola Scriptura not a doctrine of the Catholic Church or a doctrine that the Catholic Church accepts. So why not? We'll get into all of that.
