In this massive 3 hour bonus theology episode, Suan Sonna argues that it can be shown from the scriptures that the Roman Catholic doctrine of the papacy is true - Christ established a supreme, infallible, and successional Petrine ministry. Sonna builds his massive case on sources from primarily Protestant and Orthodox scholars, demonstrating that the tide of New Testament scholarship is gradually affirming certain traditional Roman Catholic interpretations of the scriptures. He first defends the Davidic and apostolic constitution of Christ's Church, raises four arguments for the existence and supremacy of a Petrine ministry, five reasons from scripture and its Jewish roots to accept magisterial (and papal) infallibility, and explains why Rome matters according to Jewish messianic prophecies. Sonna concludes that Roman Catholicism is true, because it is the only conception of Christianity that truly completes what Judaism started. You can download Suan's supporting powerpoint here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sdfroonN9IV8nMAjTrlsZW8qWciCLXG3/view?usp=sharing ...
