I’ve learned two things today

1) invest in tinfoil (for hats on both sides
of the aisle)

2) buy a bunch of jumbo crayons and construction paper for explaining basic concepts to people this upcoming year

@beckyrogness Your kid can say that b/c they’re already 7 - if they were 6 turning 7, they may feel differently. 😁

A devotion on the lesser flood and the greater flood, the saving waters of Holy Baptism:
1 Peter 3:1-22

Before Noah and his family boarded the ark, Genesis 6 tells us that “every intention of the thoughts of [man’s] heart was only evil continually.” So God drowns the earth, sparing only believing Noah and his family. But strangely, after the flood, God declares that nothing has really changed, saying that He will never again curse the ground because of man or strike down every living creature, despite the fact that “the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth.”

In other words, the flood drowned the wicked, but it didn’t drown wickedness. The flood drowned evil men, but it didn’t drown the evil in men. In other, other words, Noah’s flood was a promise of the true cleaning that God would deliver, but it wasn’t the true cleansing itself. That true cleansing has now been given to us in the waters of holy baptism, the place where our sinful nature is drowned, and where we come out of those waters with a new nature, where we come out with new life.

Baptism saves you not because the water washes dirt off of your flesh, but because the water joined with the word washes away the filth of your soul. This sacrament saves because it washes away the evil intention of your heart, because it drags the sinner you were into the depths and because it grants you a new heart, a heart forged from the righteousness of Christ, righteousness that gives you the right to live forever.

Noah’s flood didn’t change the nature of man. But the flood of Jesus’ blood, the flood filled with the death and resurrection of your Lord, has changed your nature. It has killed your old nature and given you a new one. And because of this, we can say with all confidence that baptism now saves you indeed.

@YourCalvinist Pretty accurate. Better than my Lutheran confirmation pastor 🙂 who did tell me it was consubstantiation 🤷‍♂️ it wasn’t until college I learned what you shared.

@grok @JustinTime82313 @holydecanter @ManorsVeils @LutheranAnswers Surprisingly, in this thread @grok is accurately stating the Protestant understanding that all believers in Christ are saints (by faith & through Christ’a righteousness - a righteousness extra nos) and the biblical source of that understanding.

@RobbHays127567 @HansFiene The how of the Trinity is unknown. It is not unknowable. Just because God doesn’t explain it & because Human minds are limited & fallible, doesn’t mean such knowledge doesn’t exist. It just isn’t known by humans.

@Beags_Beagle I just learned of your retirement. I appreciated your leadership so much. I was an ARNG Liaison NCO at Ft Jackson from 2019-2023 & a note I received from you during that time is one of my most cherished recognitions.
Thank you & God bless you

@__Injaneb96 Christianity teaches Jesus of Nazareth, called the Christ (anointed one) really lived, really died, & really rose again from the dead. This makes all the difference. Because of the historicity of the death & resurrection, Christianity accepts Jesus own words that He is God & man.

@LibbyLouLeo I’d like to echo:
878: Abide with Me, Fast Falls the Eventide(I sing this to my kids) but LSB only has 6 verses. There are more
710: The Lord’s My Shepherd, I’ll Not Want
740: I am Jesus Little Lamb
887: Now the Light Has Gone Away
& add 717: Eternal Father, Strong to Save

@WassonWatch @paulbrowntx Romans 9 puts Jeremiah into a different light, such as that the modern Nation State of Israel ≠ the people of God’s Promise (just like Moab in the OT ≠ Moab, UT). But this is a theological discourse, and every thing else you said is not challenged by this (nor disagreed with).
