In Part 3 of this teaching series, I finish unpacking the 6 different definitions of "tradition" and explain what I see as the real fault line that separates classical Protestants from Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox understandings of tradition and Scripture.
My goal isn't to attack, but to clarify. I have deep respect for the reverence Catholics and Orthodox show for the things of God. Yet after examining the evidence, I believe Protestantism stays closer to the apostolic faith. If you've ever felt haunted by the question "What if I'm missing the true Church?" or if you're trying to navigate these conversations graciously, this teaching is for you.
