Welcome to the Council of Tren Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Have you ever waited for the big reveal at the end of a movie or a book that just never

showed up?

Disappointing, right?

Well, that's how I felt listening to James White's recent response to my episode that

focused on Soluscriptura and the issue of the Greek word Thaopnustos, often translated

as God-breathe.

That's what we'll be talking about today here on the Council of Tren Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist, Tren Horn.

So in my previous episode, I showed that Protestant Apologists over-rely on the Greek word Thaopnustos

in making the case for Soluscriptura in 2 Timothy 316.

They assume it just means God-breathe when other scholars of Arjudic can mean God-breatheing.

They also assume if something is called Thaopnustos in the Apostolic period, that proves

it is a divinely established infallible rule of faith.

But that assumption doesn't hold up when we see that the word was used in the early church

to refer to any spiritually beneficial writing, and the Jews used it to refer to anything

that was divinely life-giving.

For more on that, check out my previous episode.

To put it simply, Protestants overstate their case in taking the fact that Scripture is

called Thaopnustos in 2 Timothy 316, to reach the conclusion that Scripture is unique

in its ability to be an infallible rule of faith, and for anything else to be an infallible

rule of faith, it must also be Thaopnustos.
