The Augsburg Confession, Article XXVI: riassunto
Article XXVI di 29 · 6 min per leggere: article
In Article XXVI, the teachers reject the claim that food rules and other human traditions earn grace, arguing that this belief hides faith, devalues ordinary duties, and burdens consciences. They defend fasting and bodily discipline while allowing church customs that maintain order without making them necessary for forgiveness or unity.
