It’s actually ontologically sacred, and treating the sacred as common is depraved. Hope that helps.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

Theology 101: Them: “The doctrine of the Trinity isn’t clearly expressed in Scripture, so it isn’t essential to the Christian faith.” Me: “Is the unity of God clearly in Scripture?” Them: “Yes.” Me: “Is it essential?” Them: “Yes.” Me: “Is the deity of the Father clearly in Scripture?” Them: “Yes.” Me: “Is it essential?” Them: “Yes.” Me: “Is the deity of the Son clearly in Scripture.” Them: “Yes.” Me: “Is it essential?” Them: “Yes.” Me: “Is the deity of the Spirit clearly in Scripture?” Them: “Yes.” Me: “Is it essential?” Them: “Yes.” Me: “Is the fact that Father, Son, and Spirit are not the same person but are distinct clearly in Scripture?” Them: “Yes.” Me: “Is it essential?” Them: “Yes.” Me: “The doctrine of the Trinity is clearly expressed in Scripture, and it is essential to the Christian faith.”

@BMcGrewvy This premise seems to imply evangelical ecclesiology. At least... it seems to imply the evangelical position regarding the universal church, that it is an invisible organism, not an institution.

Maybe the reason there are so many different Christian denominations is that every denomination really does get something right that others are missing. Except the Lutherans, we could probably do without them and be fine.

@alisa_childers Yes. Thank you.

Has anyone else noticed that often, the people who shout for repentance the most at "revival" events are themselves people who have been confronted over and over about their sin and yet refuse to repent?

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way To interpret Ezekiel rightly today Than to say all the temple details Are symbolic anyway #henno

@nocoradio These are great

Blessed assurance, Ryrie is mine Oh what a foretaste of charts so divine lol

@Darbyfan2472 @nocoradio Historically, Dispies have been very solid on assurance.

@nocoradio The notes on assurance of salvation in the original scofield notes are better than what I’ve heard from most reformed pastors/theologians.

My hope is built on nothing less than Scofield’s Notes and Moody Press I dare not trust this Thompson’s chain but wholly lean on Scofield’s fame Anon.

@Benjenjenj It comes down to presuppositions about how God has preserved His word, and whether you think it more likely that some passages could get left out, or that some would get added. The latter seems implausible to me based on how early Christians treated the scriptures.

@Benjenjenj The earliest *known* manuscripts aren’t necessarily the oldest (most accurate) readings. The truth is we can only guess about the origin of textual variants or the transmission history. And there are theories that support the majority or byzantine tradition.

Not only does it belong in the bible, it belongs in John between 7:52 and 8:12.

@andrewboonedog @StefanMolyneux Daniel 11 is literally the reason why naturalist scholars have no choice to be try to wedge it into the Maccabean period.

@StefanMolyneux The destruction of Medo-Persia by Greece

If the Bible was dictated by an omniscient God, please tell me what is in the Bible that couldn’t have been known at the time.

@HansFiene I was there, Gandalf. Three decades ago.

Remember the emergent church?

@CalebDixonSmith Gratitude for God's free gift of grace, love for God in response to His love for us, is absolutely motivation for good works.

@testing521 I feel like works aren't usually a fruit of assurance, whether they can be its root or not

"'How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your consciences from dead works to serve the living God?' The service of the living God is a consequence, note, of a purged conscience." JND
