There is a Twitter debate on Augustine's comments around the saints, whether they suggest the liceity or the illicitness of their veneration. It has become fairly interesting and deep so I thought it useful to unroll their threads and organise them on one page. The contenders are Potamopotos (Lutheran) and PatrologyVotary (also Protestant? Dunno yet).
Potamopatos' original thread:

I will update this if any other threads come up.
Hey, there is a informal debate in progress in the Facebook group 'Official Christian Memes: One Meme to rule them all' on 'does 2 Thes 2:15 prove Sola Scriptura false?'
ReplyDeleteIt is a me posted by Alexander Nevsky, a convert to Eastern Orthodoxy. Many rebuttals offered. Including some discussion of images/saints, but mainly Scripture and the Eastern Orthodox.
I think you would enjoy reading through the rebuttals and the arguments that Nevsky gives.
