@Brian_Sauve @TheNotoriousRDS Brian have you considered hopping on peptides

@TheNotoriousRDS I actually think I may go down in history as the last human to cut without chemical aid. 😅

@_matthewpearson @tyler_austin55 Grateful for increasing Americans finding their way to Orthodoxy regardless of your smugness and slop, Matthew.

@Dogmaticist @JonMcK1647 I will have been baptized posterior to my being baptized at which point it may be said that I am baptized.

Henry cites in the marginal note that his source for the second definition for pardon is from Richard Baxter’s 𝐴𝑝ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑚𝑠, pg. 166
English
“Pardon of sin is an act of God's free grace whereby to a repenting, believing sinner for the sake of Christ and his righteousness that obligation to punishment which ariseth from the sinfulness of his heart and life is dissolved and ceaseth; or this: 'tis a gracious act of God discharging the sinner by the gospel promise or grant from the obligation to punishment upon consideration of the satisfaction made by Christ accepted by the sinner and pleaded with God.”
-Matthew Henry, 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑡, 20 Dec. 1691

@_matthewpearson While true, I think the perfect tense captures the nature of baptism better than the present. As we were baptized but once but it has a present effect.
But I won’t stop you from doing the Luther thing.

I’m all for a whirlwind romance, but why do I get the feeling that’s not what happened here?

I met her last week, got engaged on Wednesday, completed all of Catholic marriage prep on Thursday, found a venue Friday, and got married yesterday. Now hire me as Governor so I can deliver this level of speed and efficiency for Florida.

"Bring it down to your selves, do not you live in sin? may be you are not Drunkards, Swearers, &c. but is there not some other, some secret way of wickedness in which you walk? some bosom Lust hid and cherished? do you endeavour after universal Holiness? these things must be enquired into, for the No-Condemnation depends upon them. Mistake me not, I do not say if No Sin then No Condemnation, (as if to be Sinless was the condition of, or way to the future blessedness, God forbid I should go so high! for then I should condemn every man in the World); but this I say, no allowed sin, no reigning sin, no presumptuous sin, no course in sin; and then 'tis No-Condemnation."

I found Thomas Jacomb's treatment of Gospel-Conditions to be quite helpful and decided to clean up a portion of his text and upload it to substack. Check it out for some clarity on the matter!

"Christ fulfilled the Moral Law for you but he never fulfilled the Gospel-Law for you; you must repent and believe your selves, or else you cannot rely upon the imputation of Christ's Obedience to the Law: if you be impenitent and unbelieving, both Law and Gospel are unfulfilled and in full force against you. 'Twill be an insignificant plea at the great day when the Laws righteousness shall plead against you, for you to say, Lord! Christ fulfilled that righteousness; true (will God say) he did so, but the Gospel-righteousness was not fulfilled by you; therefore what my Son did as to the other is nothing to you."

Ejected Puritan minister, Thomas Jacomb, on Gospel-conditions and not falling into popery or antinomianism:
"[Y]ou must so confide and relie upon Christ's one, most perfect, and all-sufficient Sacrifice, as yet withal to be careful that you (on your part) do perform those Gospel-conditions which God enjoyns and requires of you, in order to remission, justification, glorification: (this word of advice is so necessary that 'tis by no means to be passed over). Christians! 'tis a thing of very high importance for you rightly to understand your selves in this matter; therefore take it thus: All your trust and relyance is solely to be bottomed upon the Death and Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus; but yet you cannot regularly and warrantably act this trust and relyance upon this only ground or foundation, unless in your own persons you perform those conditions which God prescribes in his Word. The whole business of merit and satisfaction lies upon Christ, that is wholly out of your hands and only in his; but as to believing and repenting (the two grand Gospel-conditions) they lie upon your selves, (I speak with respect to the act, not to the power,) and must be done by your selves: yea, and the doing of these is as necessary on your part under the notion of Conditions, as suffering and dying was on Christ's part under the notion of merit. And 'tis most certain that the latter without the former will not profit you, because Christ never design'd to impute or make over his merit to any, further than as they should make good these Conditions of Faith and Repentance. We have here two dangerous rocks before us (and it must be our care and skill to shun both of them); the one is the setting of inherent grace or duty too high, as when we make it to share description with Christ in merit and trust; the other is the setting of inherent grace or duty too low, as when upon the pretence of Christ's alone merit and full satisfaction, we quite throw it off and are altogether careless about it, as supposing it now to be a thing wholly unnecessary: Now we are exceedingly prone to dash upon the one or the other of these rocks; either we run our selves upon POPERY (in the former), or upon ANTINOMISM and LIBERTINISM (in the latter)."

"[N]ot believing in the Lord Christ is not a sin against the moral law, but it is a sin against the Law of the Gospel, 1 John 3:23: 'This is his Commandment, that we should believe in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.' The lack of this faith is a sin not so much against the Ten Commandments, as against the Gospel properly, as Romans 3:28: 'By what Law is boasting excluded? By the Law of faith,' so that there is a Law even of faith, not only a moral law, but a law of faith."
