Orthodox Apologetics Enters the Evangelical Spotlight

ScHoolboyNQ breaks down his viral moment with Protestant apologist Cliffe Knechtle in front of a large college crowd

In this episode I had the privilege to chat with ScHoolboy about his recent meeting with Cliffe Knecthtle during a campus ministry event at University of Massachusets Amhurst. ScHoolboy started out sharing his testimony and appreciation for Cliffe’s efforts, then came to an unfortunately abrubt end when the question of normative authority was introduced. This event came just weeks after an Oriental Orthodox deacon embarassed Cliffe’s son Stuart Knechtle in a longer exchange.

I shared the video of the event on X where it reached over 600,000 views and sparked drastically polarizing comments, criticisms and debates from Protestants, Orthodox and Catholics.

ScHoolboy’s first question to Cliffe was a challenge of Protestant normative authority: If the Holy Spirit alone guides Biblical interpretation, how is correct teaching determined when 2 conflicting interpretations? If the Holy Spirit is God, how does the Protestant explain why contradiction arises from God’s guidance?

Continuing his line of questioning, ScHoolboy asks Cliffe who/what is the Church?

Tune in to hear the full 90 minute discussion where ScHoolboy gives a detailed video breakdown of his encounter and the future impact of Orthodoxy’s growing presence in evangelical spaces.

You can find ScHoolboy on Twitter, TikTok, and on Discord where he helps run the MadeByJimBob and Orthodoxos servers.
