Luther, Augustine and Contradictory Protestant Confessions

Was Martin Luther really defending truth — or rebelling against authority?
The Reformation is often praised as a return to “pure” Christianity through sola scriptura — the claim that the Bible alone is the final authority. But history and logic tell a different story.

This video exposes the contradictions of sola scriptura and Luther’s rejection of the visible, apostolic Church. We’ll examine:

Augustine’s famous declaration: “I would not believe the Gospel except as moved by the authority of the Catholic Church.”
Luther’s false dilemma: pitting Church against Gospel, when Augustine saw them united.
The fragmentation of Protestantism — from the Augsburg Confession to the Schleitheim Confession, from Luther to Zwingli, Calvin to Arminius.
Why sola scriptura leads not to unity, but endless division and subjectivity.

The early Christians knew Scripture was inseparable from the Church’s authority. Without that anchor, the Bible becomes a wax nose — reshaped by every private conscience.

👉 If you want to understand why sola scriptura fails both history and reason, and why Augustine’s wisdom still matters today, watch until the end.
