2:55 Your point one favours Protestantism over EO, but also RC over EO.

True, but this video is contra EO not contra Rome

16:42 You are overreading.

St. Athanasius does say Nicaea (I) agrees with Scripture, but he doesn't say it's authoritative "only because" it agrees with Scripture as if that were the sole formal criterium.

17:58 Scriptures are by St. Cyril here contrasted with human wit, not with Tradition or Magisterium.

A single bishop outside Rome doesn't by himself alone wield the magisterium and it was easier for the catechumens to check the Scriptures than to check a Migne or a Denzinger which weren't in print yet for over a millennium.

Magisterium is mythisterium

@Heimdallr-88h14 Not according to Matthew 28:16 to 20.

@hglundahl That's a worldwide commission beneath Jesus, not a magisterium above the Word. 😂

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@Heimdallr-88h14 You may want to tell me where "above the Word" comes in.

And world wide still applies to the Episcopate, as these are successors of the twelve (yes, Apostolic Succession is in the NT, if you know where to look), which is an expression of the Magisterium.

18:29 This other Cyril quote, again, you are not proving Sola Scriptura unless it means that all of the Catholic faith is somehow in the Scriptures, a proposition that some Catholics actually adhere to.

Sola Scriptura from Reformation has come to mean "unless you can prove with definite passages without any millimeter of a doubt on what the passage could mean" as if the Tradition or Magisterium had no obliging bearing on the meaning of Scripture.

Here is one for you.

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him
[Luke 24:27]

This exposition is not literally and directly in the Scriptures, since Genesis 3:15 isn't transmitted with added comments "and Jesus exposed to the disciples of Emmaus that Mary is the woman who crushed the serpent's head", but it is certainly somehow in the Scriptures insofar as Genesis 3:15 is within the scope of what Jesus exposed and the Church preserved.
