When timeless, historic confessions of faith are put to the side, the urge to write new statements raises a deeper question: Is relevance becoming the goal? #FaithAndCulture #TheologyTalk #ChristianThought #BiblicalDoctrine #ChurchConversation #FaithQuestions #ChristianityToday

As we come close to Thanksgiving, we will look at the Christian nature of the holiday on our next episode.

“Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; Do not further his wicked scheme, Lest they be exalted. Selah”
Psalms 140:8 NKJV

Can Christians Hate? https://t.co/96sYo85ZVv

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

Sin corrupts man’s nature and it inheres in him as a quality as Aquinas and the Reformed tradition have taught. This doesn’t change man’s nature (which is good since God made it) but corrupts it. Sin is now part of him accidentally (as opposed to substantially).

Ergo, there is a sense where when we hate sin we can’t help but hate the man.

[Stephen Wolfe @PerfInjust]

“Now it is part of our love for our brother that we hate the fault and the lack of good in him, since desire for another's good is equivalent to hatred of his evil.” Aquinas, ST II-II.34.3

People may be lawful objects of hate for the Christian. We may hate their sin for their good, and we may hate their sin for the public good.

So, hate is due to some people “in respect of what he has of himself and from the devil, i.e. in respect of sin and lack of justice.”

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

Constantly restating doctrine in evangelical "statements" can become biblicism in practice: rejecting historic creeds and confessions to create a new answer to questions Christians have addressed for centuries. #Christianity #Theology

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

Particular Baptist confessions of faith weren’t merely responses to disputed doctrine. They helped clarify what they believed—and defend themselves against claims that they were heretical or subversive. #ChurchHistory #Theology

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

@jagravino @mastersuniv Appreciate it!

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

Do We Need More Statements? @mastersuniv https://t.co/AxJNCU9lEE

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

When historic confessions already address a doctrine, reinventing it as a new church statement can introduce modern assumptions. Build on the tradition—don’t keep reinventing the wheel. #Theology #ChurchHistory

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

A generation can’t rebuild doctrine from scratch. The wisdom of those who came before isn’t an obstacle—it’s a foundation worth leaning on. #Christianity #Theology

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

As we prep for the Lord’s Day tomorrow, remember:

“I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.”
Psalms 138:2 NKJV

[Ad Fontes ☧ ⚔️ 📖 @AdFontes1689]

“redemption, was paid only for the sheep, those predestined and elected to life as sons of God who are actually saved. And so Christ did not lay down his life with the intention that every single person would become able to be saved or actually saved.”

@IanDaKitchen This is another W in a long line of them 😏

[Stephen Wolfe @PerfInjust]

I find these arguments to be quite silly. "My journey" and "great tradition". Give me a break.

Yes, 1689 Baptists are Reformed.

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

@Royformed @TomHicks2LCF I know there were other confessions prior. Notice my OP is relative to the WCF. That is the confession Carter now subscribes to.

[Thomas Watson @ThosWatson]

Truth is a beam..

[The Particular Baptist @TheParticularB]

“If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared.”
Psalms 130:3-4 NKJV

Forgiveness of sin is not for selfish deliverance, but for God’s glory.

[Jeremiah Hurt @jeremiahhurt]

The Baptist churches, whether in England or in America, are certainly to be regarded as branches of the Reformed movement.
