Anthony Rogers on Early Church Father Marius Victorinus Teaching Justification by Faith Alone



Anthony Rogers got pushback when he made a video where he argued some of the early church fathers taught justification by faith alone. The following are links to the videos. I've posted the one on Victorinus first even though it was broadcast afterwards because he provides abundant quotes that Victorinus held to justification by faith alone. Thus proving that justification by faith alone was not invented by Martin Luther but antedated him by over a thousand years.
