Veith - 279: The Foundations of Many Generations Part 1 | Repairing the Breach (DVD)

Ecumenism has blurred the lines of religious doctrine and is promoting universalism, the belief that God works the same in all religions and that everyone will be saved. Is this true? Can Christians embrace this kind of theology? Walter Veith looks at universalism and especially compares the teachings of Christianity vs Islam. How are Christianity and Islam similar? In particular, there are many similarities between Catholicism and Islam. What do Catholics believe in common with Muslims? Are God and Allah the same?

The Koran confirms the veracity of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures, but says they were given by Allah for temporary guidance. The Koran’s teachings about Creation, humanity, spirit beings, the reason for conflict between good and evil, and salvation all differ widely from Biblical teachings. In the Koran, the stories of Abraham, Moses, and the birth of Jesus have confusing elements and also disagree with the Bible.

In this first part of The Foundations of Many Generations, Professor Walter J. Veith compares Roman Catholic teachings with Bible doctrines. How does the Catholic teaching of Mary’s immaculate conception affect the Catholic understanding of Christ’s nature and salvation? How is Jesus depicted in Catholicism? How is the Catholic Church’s teaching about the state of the dead different from what the Bible teaches? What did Reformers such as Martin Luther and Tyndale teach about the state of the dead? What does the Catholic Church teach about hell? How does it compare with what the Bible teaches? And how has the teaching of an eternally burning hell been used as a weapon by Satan to malign God’s character?

What religious principles do Catholicism and Islam share?  Find out in this presentation as Walter Veith lays a foundation for understanding the similarities between Catholicism and Islam.
