@disclosetv May we recommend a bit more reading?

NOW - Netanyahu: "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good."

We have another book recommendation for Netanyahu: amazon.com/dp/B0GLN5XVH3

Added Bunyan's Catechism (original/modernized), Spurgeon's Catechism (original/modernized) and search capability so you can quickly navigate across questions. Enjoy!

@BerithPress @ZacharyGarris Congrats! This work is a beast

We are delighted to announce our edition of Domestical Duties by William Gouge, which has a foreword by @ZacharyGarris. In Domestical Duties, William Gouge exposits that part of Scripture wherein we find domestical duties set forth, namely: Ephesians 5:21-6:9. He goes on to detail the right way that husbands and wives should be joined together in marriage, and their mutual duties. Gouge then sets forth the particular duties of wives, husbands, children, parents, servants, and masters. With over 3,000 footnotes, including several fresh translations, this book is an excellent resource for pastors and laymen alike. We have made two versions of this book: The first version is a two-volume hardcover edition, which is ideal for pastors, church officers, seminary students, academics, and theologically-minded laymen. The second version is an eight-volume paperback, which is designed to be read together in families. For example, a husband and wife may choose to read Volumes 1 and 2 together, and then the wife reads Volume 3 on wifely duties by herself, and the husband reads Volume 4 on husbandly duties alone; and then they swap volumes. Or for example, if you have children in your home, they could read the duties of children in Volume 5. Given the recent publication history of this work, we wish to emphasize that this reprint does include Volumes 7 and 8 on servants and masters: much of which is easily applicable to modern-day situations involving employees and employers, and so on. While some recent reprints have not included Gouge’s original margin notes, our version does do so. We have converted these marginalia into over 3,000 footnotes, which include the original Hebrew and Greek terms that Gouge cited from Scripture. This helps the reader to understand how Gouge drew his instruction from the text of the Bible itself, as all good teachers must do. These footnotes include, for the first time in this book’s publishing history, translations into English of Gouge’s Latin quotations, with key assistance from @postnuance. This helps the reader to understand the broader stream of historical thought on domestical issues, without having to know Latin themselves: something that was more familiar to 17th century students than ourselves, generally speaking. The hardcover full set is $65, and the paperback full set is $75. In the paperback set, every new section starts on a fresh page, as if it were a new chapter.

We also added a modernized version of Heidelberg's commentary alongside the original.

We now have the Geneva Catechism and Nowell's Catechism, both original and modernized. Still more work to do, but open to recommendations from the community on what to improve/add.

@PhilipT79749770 We added the catechism from this book: archive.org/details/catech… We'd love to add the other material too. Do you have an original source where we can find this?

@updatedworks anglican.net/works/alexande…

We love catechisms, so we built you a free tool to help you dig in with your family. catechisma.com - WSC, Heidelberg, Luther's Small & Large Catechism - Scripture proofs - Added modernized version and version for kids - Added inline commentary from Luther, Ursinus, and Thomas Vincent (more to come) We added a quiz option too. If you like it, we'll keep working on it.

@PhilipT79749770 Just added the Geneva catechism: catechisma.com/geneva-catechi… Looking into Nowell now

@updatedworks Thanks for answering . May the Triune God bless y'alls efforts

@PhilipT79749770 We are looking at adding the Geneva catechism in near future! Will take a look at Nowell's as well

@updatedworks Any possible expansion to add Nowell's Middle and Large Catechism ? Or Geneva's Catechism ?

Why build this? We found existing online resources to be very lacking. Also, we agree with Luther

@kinisman Pray that the Lord opens doors to take this on 🙏

@updatedworks Yes, but that’s probably only one volume. It’s huge, but the P. Latina part would be the best way to start on it. The Cursus Completus has the Greek and Latin portions. I’m thrilled to know that this is your objective. This would be a tremendous tool for the entire church.

@kinisman Is it this? archive.org/details/patrol… We plan on doing the entirety of Patrologia Latina at some point. We are a part-time team, so the goal is to fund full-time operations with more popular works to fund + free up more time to take this on.

@updatedworks The entire Patrologia Cursus Completus. Somehow this has never been done, and having it in English would be the greatest literary accomplishment in centuries.

The Kindle book is free for the next 5 days. Check it out!

One of the foremost Greek scholars of the 19th century watched the "secret rapture" doctrine emerge from inside the Plymouth Brethren...then wrote a short book dismantling it from Scripture. Here's the modernized edition of his takedown: amazon.com/dp/B0GS55FJT1

The modernized book is now live: amazon.com/dp/B0GRMZ2NWR

We'll post the modernized edition when it's done.

Very based Thomas Watson

If you want to learn more about the destruction of the temple in AD 70, Josephus is a must-read updatedworks.com/books/the-jewi…

@lisaknows429 @ShawnRyan762 Already happened in AD 70. Read Josephus. Both things you described already happened and was documented.

The Bible begs to differ! The antichrist will sit in the rebuilt temple and the abomination of desolate will take place he will stop all sacrifices and offerings…that can’t happen without a temple! You also have the 2 witnesses preaching in the outer courtyard of the rebuilt temple for 3.5 years!

"The temple will never be rebuilt. Julian the Apostate tried to rebuild it and it was destroyed in the process. Christ put an end to the Jewish sacrifice on purpose — he gave them one generation to convert to Christianity, and when they didn't, he put an end to their sacrifice. There hasn't been practicing Jews in 2,000 years because the temple hasn't been around."
