Thank you for posting this fantastically excellent report. It is something I’ve had a longing for since I was in my teens.
I had not heard about: “the 1999 Catholic-Lutheran Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification. The agreement recognized that “by grace alone, in faith in Christ’s saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping and calling us to good works.””
And what I have favored here that we need to unite in our following Jesus, our Savior.
Thanks for the ping. The various branches of Christianity can and should respect each other and work together, but without trying to unify their doctrines, dogmas or organizations.
