Happy Historical Baptist

I’m a happy Baptist. I’m not bashful about it, but I’m not about it belligerent either. This is where I’m (Daniel Soukup) nerdy about Baptist History&Theology.

Q.30 Wherein did Christ’s humiliation consist?

“Centrist” ANDCampaign orgs say we are not to be beholden to a political party in order to assuage natural biblical abhorrence at supporting a platform that includes baby murder & child mutilation. It’s a cheap ploy to pretend there’s a moral equivalent on the right. There isn’t.

Ecumenical dialogue (which I do think is valuable) tends to bleach out differences between traditions. E.g., Every legitimate Roman Catholic altar contains a relic. Any relic will do, but the good ones are body parts. I feel like that’s a thing we need to talk about more.

Abstract of Principles, Article 20: The Judgment

[Daniel Soukup @danielcsoukup]

“Hallowed be your name.” In the first petition, we ask God to cause His name, & therefore His person & works, to be known as holy & glorious above all else in all of creation. This begins in our own hearts as we desire & pray for it. #FaithinOutline #PrayinginHope #TheLordsPrayer

“You shall not covet.” God wisely & kindly distributes gifts to each as he sees fit & we must be content with & use for his glory what he has given. God forbids malcontent with what he gave us & pining after he has given to others. #FaithinOutline #LivinginLove #TenCommandments

Abstract of Principles, Article 12: Sanctification

[Daniel Soukup @danielcsoukup]

“You shall not murder.” Christians believe that every human being is made in the image of God & has a right to life. Christians reject all forms of murder, including elective abortion & euthanasia, as an affront to the image of God #FaithinOutline #LivinginLove #TenCommandments
