“This isn’t about cherry-picking quotes. How did Scripture function? Did it function differently from tradition in the ancient church? The answer is yes.” Michael Horton responds to Trent Horn on Sola Scriptura in the church fathers.

@Trent_Horn Watch the full episode of 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦, "Defending Sola Scriptura in the Church Fathers":

This is either really poorly edited or a bait-and-switch quotation of the early fathers. Strangely, you’re claiming St Irenaeus taught something by citing a St Clement of Rome quote? Also, nothing St Clement of Rome cited here in Chapter 7 refers to scripture or divinely inspired writing. “Canon” in Greek means “rule”, or “standard”. This is pretty embarrassing if you didn’t know this. On the contrary, Clement is clear as to “what” these people should be submitting to. (Hint: it’s not scripture)

@MichaelHorton_ @Trent_Horn I would love to see you both debate. I think your response is helpful given the lack of understanding on this topic broadly among people on both sides. Thank you for your work Dr. Horton.
