Cultivating a deep love of Christ in all things- Reformed/Protestant

[Deeper Confessions (ZonZ) @zonz2162]

@sincead33 Interesting- I was going to do the same for Bellarmine & his arguments.

@mattjhedges11 @C2Antiquity I’d love to see it 😁

@iam_shwa @KDW1980 Would you like to setup a convo on YouTube on this? We can talk about this at length - send me a DM. Here is my channel: https://t.co/8uvF00XJMf

@sincead33 “Faith in the fact of inspiration” is only done by the illumination of the Holy Spirit. The question you’re asking is: how do you know these words are divine? 1) the church’s witness 2) fulfillment of the prophetic word 3) HS illumination of my mind to this truth. Do we disagree?

[Deeper Confessions (ZonZ) @zonz2162]

There is no other good in you other than Christ in you. Everything else is darkness. Christ became like you so that you might become like him. He is the prize of all salvation and without him, there is nothing of worth in all of creation.

He paid our ransom by becoming a curse and redeemed us from the curse of the Law to which He was not subject having fulfilled the Law. We were liable to it unable to fulfill it just as if a man condemned to death were delivered by another who voluntarily died in his place.

@blessedmikko Mikko, you are the only person who has ever made me seriously consider Orthodoxy. Jesus taking our punishment in our place is a basic premise to the gospel. Thank you for standing up for this brother 🙏

@ZacharyGarris Respectfully, that’s because baptizing infants then denying them the Table is an indefensible point of historic inconsistency.

It’s ironically exactly a failure to discern and maintain the unity of the body, contra 1 Cor 11:17–34.

[Deeper Confessions (ZonZ) @zonz2162]

@ErickYbarra3 @MateyYanakiev Most of the Fathers would have operated within the confines of the church at large. I don't think schism would have been tolerated. In this sense, a true Protestant ecclesiology would be not found in the fathers. They wouldn't have imagined a East-West 1,000 year split either.

@LowStudies @Degenwillape Didn’t Jesus respond by using Scripture to harmonize the twisting of Scripture the devil was throwing at him?

I guess Jesus was practicing Sola Scriptura as well?

@patristicpill We’ll follow through once you resolve your 1000 year schism with Rome and your 1500 year schism with the Orientals.

Amen - beautiful. I am the wife of whoredom in Hosea. God buys me back. Nothing is more beautiful than the unrelenting love of God.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.

She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.

And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.

To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.

I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?

Then I realized I was the wife.

I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.

And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”

He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”

That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.

He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.

Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.

Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.

The cross was Him naming the price.

Praise the Lord.

@GeoffKlein3 Here is your answer

[Deeper Confessions (ZonZ) @zonz2162]

Why am I seeing Catholics publicly posting against the Vatican’s decision to excommunicate the SSPX?

If you are a Catholic, submit your mind & will to the Church against the Traditionalists - posting publicly against your Church is a sin.

[HisHumbleServant3239✝️ @HHS3239]

If you're Eastern Orthodox, I have a genuine question. Who fits this description for you personally that is living?

A model of Orthodoxy. A true theologian whose theology proceeds from a holy life and from total rootedness in Orthodox tradition.
