The believing have, in love, the character of God the Father by Jesus Christ, by whom, if we are not in readiness to die into His passion, His life is not in us.

-- St. Ignatius of Antioch, To the Magnesians

Do the Crusades offend you James White? Do they make you uncomfortable, Doug Wilson?

Good. Christian men willing to die for their faith have always intimidated God's enemies and weakminded lukewarm men. Pray you only fall into the second category.

Hi. I'm your Christian Prince. My father won the 2nd American Civil War, so we made degeneracy illegal.

Get in the crystal now. What's that? Due process? Unconstitutional? Lol. What part of "we won" did you not understand?

Calvin: Monotheism Insufficient -- ICR 1.4.3

It makes little difference, at least in this respect, whether you hold the existence of one God, or a plurality of gods, since, in both cases alike, by departing from the true God, you have nothing left but an execrable idol.

Baptism is given as a pledge of our adoption; for by it we are grafted into the body of Christ, so as to be washed and cleansed by his blood, and then renewed in purity of life by his Holy Spirit. We hold, also, that although we are baptized only once, yet the gain that it symbolizes to us reaches over our whole lives and to our death, so that we have a lasting witness that Jesus Christ will always be our justification and sanctification.

SO MUCH WINNING! 🤣

There is no person, creature, or realm, no thought, word, or deed, which is truly secular.

Everything is ultimately and essentially God-confessing or God-denying.

Again, he asks, if the sacraments are instruments by which God acts efficaciously, and testifies and seals his grace to us, why do we deny, that by the washing of baptism men are born again? As if our alleged denial were not a fiction of his own. Having distinctly asserted, that men are regenerated by baptism, just as they are by the word, I early obviated the impudence of the man, and left nothing for his invective to strike at but his own shadow.

Podcast: Against the Antioch Declaration: A Line-by-Line Refutation

The Jew that ordered the murder of James the Just, brother of Christ, was named ‘An Anus, Son of an Anus’.

God has quite the sense of humor.

Where prosperity gospel preachers err is not in teaching God gives material blessings to His servants, for He promises exactly so. Rather:

1) They pretend the relationship is automatic, as if God is a cosmic vending machine rather than a prudent Father who, while hard lessons are sometimes needed, loves to bless His children.

2) They link God's blessing to faith whereas God promises blessings for actual obedience. Thus, they insult God's holy law and righteous demands.

3) They focus only on their ideas so as to crowd out all other biblical doctrine and so distort the word of God and the gospel.

The devil promises what is actually God's right to give and in a way God did not intend.

He gave the fruit, not because God never would but as a shortcut escaping God's intentions.

He offered Jesus the nations, not beacuse He is not going to receive the nations (Ps. 2), but to shortcut His work on the cross.

I hold that those whom God has already set apart for himself are rightly brought for baptism. We are not now speaking of secret election, but of an adoption manifested by the word, which sanctifies infant not yet born. But as baptism is a solemn recognition by which God introduces his children into the possession of life, a true and effectual sealing of the promise, a pledge of sacred union with Christ, it is justly said to be the entrance and reception into the Church. And as the instruments of the Holy Spirit are not dead, God truly performs and effects by baptism what he figures.

No-fault divorce laws and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
