"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
-John 1:1-5
@lukestamps Sometimes. Luther's ability is clear, but the man had a mouth on him.
I agree with Calvin's sentiment and believe Luther's would have accomplished more if he had better control of his temperament.
@sunbrightskills @rankheresy You're making up the rules after your own mind's musing, not Scripture.
This is not only shameful, but incredibly dangerous. Stop it.
@sunbrightskills @rankheresy Rev 20:14-15
Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Not today Satan:
“Satan would make us believe the blood of Christ is too shallow to cover the mountains of our iniquities.”
—Puritan Stephen Charnock, Works 4:208
@DrM_1530 @PastorO_15029 It's pretty much the NASB '95, with a few updates based on modern manuscript evidence and the covenant name of God (Yahweh) is transliterated rather than written as LORD.
@ws_solutions217@PuritanGold Sure you can, but do you? And is it not likely that one consumed with the glory of God would not naturally be pulled toward spiritual exercises?
@Riddle1689@JohnPiper@RevKevDeYoung Not the Vader one, which is clear parody....
To the official image, as both of those faithful teachers hold views very much contrary to some of the others in that promo
this is my personal account and I rarely use it, follow me @DoctrinDisciple if you're interested talking about the Bible.
Note: Yes Doctrine is misspelled, but "DoctrinalDisciple" is longer than X allows :(
"One of the current customs which I consider most desirable and praiseworthy is that of many prominent citizens having a large, beautiful Bible, together with a Psalm book, on display in every room. If only they would use them more frequently!"

This is also creates a HUGE problem with the atonement. If our sin is an infinite offense to the Father (it is), and Christ is not coequal with the Father, then He is unable to make sufficient atonement for the sins of man. The one receiving judgment must be equal to the one offended, or else justice necessitates eternal punishment, as the one punished will never be able to atone for the magnitude of the sins offense. This becomes the eternal consequence of all those who come under judgment without the blood of Christ, which alone is able to justly cover sin, as the Son alone is able to bear it.
