Vindication or Error-Filled Misrepresentation - Eddie Rodriguez and Sola Scriptura pt1

In this video, I address a widespread problem in Protestant apologetics: the systematic misrepresentation of the Church Fathers in defense of sola scriptura.

Specifically, I examine the arguments made by Eddie Rodriguez, as presented on Javier Perdomo’s channel, where they claimed a “historian’s ultimate defense” of sola scriptura. The truth, however, is that the presentation relies on logical fallacies, sophistry, and historical distortions rather than accurate scholarship.

🔍 What you’ll see in this video:

How Rodriguez misrepresents Augustine, falsely presenting him as a proto-Protestant, despite Augustine’s clear testimony that the authority of the Catholic Church precedes Scripture itself.
The distortion of Irenaeus, ignoring his insistence on Apostolic Tradition and the authority of the Church of Rome as the guarantor of true doctrine.
The use of a faulty government analogy, equating the Church with the U.S. government and Scripture with the Constitution—a false comparison that collapses under scrutiny.

📚 By returning to the actual writings of Augustine and Irenaeus, I demonstrate that the early Fathers upheld the Catholic model: Scripture, Tradition, and the authoritative Church, not an isolated “Bible alone” principle.

⚔️ This exposes a key dilemma for Protestant claims: the very canon of Scripture itself is known only through the authority of the Catholic Church. The historical record does not vindicate sola scriptura—it disproves it.

If you’re serious about history, theology, and honest reasoning, you will not want to miss this.
