Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWeighed in the Balance returns with a critical response to Cameron Rieker’s so-called “insuperable” argument against Protestantism. Rieker claims that without an infallible magisterium (i.e., the Roman Catholic Church), all of Protestantism collapses under the weight of interpretive chaos. But is that actually true?In this episode, we walk through:The heart of Rieker’s claim: “Who gets to use the rule of faith?”A biblical and confessional answer from the Reformed tradition.A close reading of Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 12, and the Westminster Confession of Faith.Why Cameron’s three so-called Protestant “options” don’t even acknowledge the historic Reformed view.How church authority works in Presbyterian polity without collapsing into either chaos or papal infallibility.Whether you're Reformed, Catholic, or just curious, this episode offers clarity on how Protestants think about the Church, authority, and the Scriptures.Referenced texts:Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapters 25 & 31Ephesians 4:1–161 Corinthians 12:27–31Acts 15Find Cameron's original video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG9YvkNqg6E&t=1959sLet us know your thoughts below—but please keep the conversation respectful and charitable.Support the showDo you think this claim is found wanting?
