Episode notes
Vatican II And Salvation By Conscience
- Bishop Robert Barron suggests Vatican II allows salvation for sincere non-Christians through conscience or law-following.
- Mike Winger argues this claim implies salvation without explicit faith in Christ and finds it theologically problematic.
Conscience As The Voice Of Christ
- Barron equates conscience with 'the voice of Christ' and says following conscience equals following Christ.
- Winger says Scripture rejects that role for conscience and calls Barron's view un-Christian.
Paul's Example Against Works-Based Righteousness
- Paul lived strictly under the law yet saw those works as worthless for righteousness until faith in Christ.
- Winger uses Paul's example to show sincerity and law-keeping don't equal justification.
