Veith - 974: Appeal to the Protestant Brethren | Darkness Before Dawn (DVD)
Walter VeithThe year 2017 was marked by an unprecedented move toward unity between Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic Church. It seems that after 500 years of division, the differences that separated the two parties are no longer of any importance. Is that the case? Should unity between Catholics and Protestants be chosen over Biblical doctrines? The Bible’s teachings clash with Catholic doctrines on justification, sanctification, and the mediatorial role of Jesus, just to name a few. Are doctrines no longer important for us today?
In this lecture Walter Veith reviews the document "Declaration on the Way: Church, Ministry, and Eucharist," a collection of statements of consensus achieved between Lutherans and Catholics as a result of ecumenical dialogue since 1965. How has this consensus come about? Where have the compromises been made? Has Rome changed, as many believe? Or has Protestantism capitulated? What has unity cost? It’s time for Protestants to study their heritage, find out what they once believed, and learn from the Scriptures again what the plan of salvation is.
