971 - The Cornerstone of Protestantism / Darkness Before Dawn - Walter Veith

Martin Luther said sola fide, justification by faith, is the head and cornerstone of Christianity and if this point falls, all falls. What did he mean? When reformers went to negotiate re-unification with Roman Catholic Church leaders, why did Luther say, “Nothing of this article can be yielded or surrendered”? Why is the doctrine of justification the dividing point between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism? What has made it possible for Protestant churches to reunite with Rome now? How were the councils of Trent and Vatican II different? What was the same about them? These questions and others are answered in this study on the doctrine of justification by faith, the cornerstone of Protestant Christianity. Learn about the history of justification by faith in the lives of Bible characters, the role the Waldenses played in spreading it to early reformers, and Luther’s understanding of it. What is at the root of doctrines that supplant justification by faith? And why is this issue of such great importance even today? Donate to Amazing Discoveries: Watch ADtv: Visit our website:
