In this episode of Raised & Redeemed, Michaela Nikolaenko welcomes back Orthodox Catechist Jamey Bennett to address Protestant objections to Orthodox Christianity. Following up on their previous discussion, Jamey dives into the significance of the church in interpreting Scripture and challenges the concept of 'Sola Scriptura'. You'll hear about the feedback they received from listeners, which ranged from supportive to highly critical, and how Jamey navigated these responses with grace and clarity.
The conversation touches on why the Orthodox Church rejects 'Sola Scriptura' and instead relies on tradition and the collective wisdom of the church to interpret the Bible. Jamey explains that while many Protestants believe that rejecting 'Sola Scriptura' means dismissing the Bible, Orthodox Christians actually hold Scripture in high regard but within the context of church tradition.
Michaela and Jamey also discuss the historical context of how the Bible was compiled and why the church's role is crucial in maintaining its integrity. Jamey shares personal anecdotes about dealing with online feedback, including viral Instagram reels that sparked intense debates. He highlights the importance of understanding different Christian traditions and how these discussions can sometimes lead to more confusion than clarity.
Despite the challenges, Jamey remains committed to fostering respectful dialogue and providing thoughtful answers to complex theological questions. If you're curious about the differences between Orthodox and Protestant beliefs, especially regarding Scripture interpretation, this episode offers a deep dive into these topics. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in exploring different Christian perspectives or seeking to understand the role of tradition in faith. So, why not give it a listen?
