Justification: Lutherans, Catholics agree

[Hoonbaba]

Hi guys,

Even though this may be old news, I don't know if everyone's aware of this, but Lutherans agree with Catholics in their view of justification!  Check out this link!

Also, one Reformed brother (who writes from a preterist perspective of eschatology) wrote a GREAT article on justification.  Check out this article

God bless!

Hi Jason, I think you are lumping all Lutherans in the same bunch, that simply is not so.

I am quoting from the aforementioned article and I am a bit confused over the authors first paragraph:
"It's interesting to me that at the only place where the [latin] words "sola fide" appear in the Scriptures, it says that justification is NOT "sola fide." It is also noteworthy that Luther dubbed the epistle of James an "epistle of straw," for the sake of his system. It is my belief, in interpretation, that the entirety of the Scriptures must be taken into account, with no part of them thrown out or ignored. To derive a solid doctrine, there must be no portion of the text that we are *afraid* to quote or that we secretly hoped were not there. This excerpt in James is just such a text! "
Since the entirety of Scripture must be taken into account why did the author not address Eph2:8-9?
