Here is the entire Book 1 of Disputations by St. Bellarmine. Book 1: On the Sacred and Apocryphal Books All 20 Chapters

@unusual_whales Why do people fall for this? If your company employed one person, you paid more tax than 54% of the country. I employ people, I pay a lot of taxes.

Bernie Sanders has said: If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than: Walt Disney, Citigroup, CVS, Kohl's, Ticketmaster, Tesla, United Airlines, GoDaddy, Paypal, Palantir, Roku, HP, 3M, PG&E, Halliburton

@RHULEROFNEB They have no pressure in those sports. Fans can be douchebags about football.

Matt Rhule watching Basketball, Volleyball, Wrestling, Baseball, and Softball all succeed with an impending large football season 🙈

@aincomeinvestor I thought a Rolex was cool when I was 30. I could buy 100 of them today and don’t want one.

When I said “no rolex until $200,000 invested”, someone told me by then I won’t even want the rolex anymore. It kinda hit me lol. For someone who waited to hit a certain amount of money stacked up, has this happened to you?

@MPRxx1230986334 @BishopJaxi It’s the new concept of faith developed by Luther and then saying that faith alone saves. Really not a smart move for one’s salvation

@SailingBitty @BishopJaxi Not really. Justification by faith had always existed, long before the Reformation. The Waldensians, the Lollards, and of course the bible itself. The just shall live by faith.

Protestantism requires you to believe Christ founded a Church that failed almost immediately, that the gates of hell prevailed against it, and that it remained lost for 1,500 years until private interpretation and thousands of mutually contradictory denominations came along to restore it.

@HuskersMN Here come all the people that know more.

This new stadium project is really interesting because after it’s done, it will increase the annual stadium revenue from 65 million to 95 million! (and will end the over 20,000 ticket holders who are grandfathered in) 30 million additional attendance revenue is absolutely huge.

In Luther's Small Catechism, the explanations of the three Creed articles use first-person language ("I," "me," "my") about 23 times total to personalize faith—e.g., "created me," "redeemed me," "called me," "all my sins," etc. Hacker cites this dominance of the "I" as central to the reflexive character of Luther's fides reflexiva, where the believer's assurance turns inward. Not exactly 25, but close in most English translations.

@grok @The1WhoKnows7 @lecternleader Thanks again Grok. Let’s wish Moose a good night.

I tried a Lutheran Church for the first time this morning.

@grok @The1WhoKnows7 @lecternleader Thank grok. Who many times does Luther use this concept of reflexive faith just within his exposition of the creed in the small catechism ? Isn’t it like 25?

Yes, according to Paul Hacker's analysis in *Faith in Luther*, Martin Luther developed a concept of "reflexive faith" (fides reflexiva). It involves the believer not only trusting God's promises but also reflexively assuring themselves of their own faith and justification within that act—especially in his expositions of the Apostles' Creed, where the "I believe" turns inward to the ego. Cardinal Cajetan, during their 1518 Augsburg meeting, viewed Luther's "special faith" in sacraments as a new subjective element diverging from traditional Catholic teaching on objective grace and absolution.

@The1WhoKnows7 @lecternleader I gave you a grok reference to review because you deleted yours. lol

@SailingBitty @lecternleader And you might want know what you are talking about before making such claims. See grok reference.

@The1WhoKnows7 @lecternleader @grok does Luther teach a reflexive faith that Cardinal Cajetan described as an entirely new concept for faith? In Paul Hackers book Faith in Luther does he talk about how reflexive faith is used extensively in Luther’s exposition of the creed?

@SailingBitty @lecternleader

@The1WhoKnows7 @lecternleader You might try reading Luther’s catechism

@SailingBitty @lecternleader Luther got some things wrong. Fortunately, the Lutheran church is not guided by Luther’s writings, but by the Bible.

@The1WhoKnows7 @lecternleader I was a LCMS Lutheran for 31 years. I know what they teach and they adopted Luther’s new concept of faith

@SailingBitty @lecternleader You seem to be having difficulty separating Luther’s beliefs from the Lutheran Church. The LCMS doesn't include reflexive faith. Be careful with whom you condemn of heresy.

@LilaGraceRose Better marital advice (not from a woman) Marry someone that is not just like you and that makes you strive to be your best.

Marry your best friend and life is sweet

@AdamCarriker94 I like when we are picked 9th and finish 2nd much better than the other way around

I know this is a moment in time ranking, but what do you think Husker fans, will Nebraska finish around 9th in the Big Ten next year? Personally, I have more confidence than that in Husker Basketball having a repeat type season next year, of what they were able to do this year.

@heyDhavall I’ve been watching videos about Catholic monastic life this evening. Pretty enjoyable

Instead of watching Netflix tonight, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture. You’ll learn more about how ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLMs are built than most people at top AI companies learn in years.

@dhacker29 I’ve read the Diet of Worms was a nothing burger and Luther was rather aloof for most of it.

#OTD 1521 Luther makes his bold declaration, “Here I stand!” at a second hearing before emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms.
