A Response to Dr. Gavin Ortlund

This video is in response to Dr. Ortlund's ‪@TruthUnites‬ video: "Are Catholics Christians? Why Protestants Can Say YES." Dr. Ortlund's video can be found here:

   • Can Protestants See Catholics as Fell...  

As a former devout Roman Catholic, who was raised & educated Catholic through college & converted to being Protestant, I would respectfully & adamantly disagree with Dr. Ortlund that Catholics are Christians, based on the authority of God-breathed Scripture, which I provide examples from Scripture in this video response to back up this assertion.

I also wish to stress that I believe Dr. Ortlund IS a Christian & brother in Christ, despite disagreeing with him "gently & reverently" (1 Peter 3:15).

Also, below is the link to my response video to Dr. David Szaraz from ‪@ApocryphaApocalypse‬, (which I brought up in this video), who conceded St. Augustine of Hippo embraced 3 Esdras AS SCRIPTURE, which begins around the 21:30 in Part 1 of my video response here:
