    It’s is by faith alone in Christ alone and his finished work. To believe on Him and His death to pay for the sins this is how we are saved, we are righteous in God, the imputed righteousness of Christ. To see and hear and understand Reformed Theology is a gift I’d say from God to be able to behold His truth.

      When a person becomes born again, the churches immediately tell them they have to believe in the trinity to be saved. Then they start worshiping a false god, have a false Christ, and believe a false gospel of going to heaven, when they die.

  • @1994ZBO
    @1994ZBO Месяц назад +5

    I started off as a Christian fundamentalist and little by little, I began to acquire theological sophistication, so that my questions become more and more complex. As this happened, I became less and less rooted in scripture and more fixated on the commentary tradition, namely finding the right church and believing the right ideas. I acquired philosophical tools, linguistic tools, learning both Greek and Hebrew. I styled myself as a scholar and after nearly a decade, I believed very little of what I had once affirmed as a biblicist. As my sophistication grew, so did the apparent problems raised by the tradition, so that I despaired of even giving an answer to many of my questions, because I no longer believed that this was even possible. During that period of time, I had basically embraced almost every school of thought and denominational tradition under the sun. Many of them had learned representatives, compelling answers, though only for a season, until my appetite for more learning outgrew all of them. Were it not for God-ordained affliction, I would have perished in this torrent of sophisticated scepticism in the pretentious sophistry of human wisdom. Plato, Aristotle, Jesus, Paul, Plotinus, Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, Luther, and all the great names of the Western philosophical and theological canon merged into a single undifferentiated voice, so that I was left with speculations all within the bounds of plausibility. Now, I have set aside all these traditions, names, schools of thought, and I have gone back to the pure study of the scriptures, knowing that only in them can one find peace and rest for their souls. The great witnesses of the tradition are merely signposts and theology too as a scientific discipline as a shadow of the realities that one finds fulfilled in Christ. No system of dogma is completeand perfectly true on every point, neither can we say this of any denominational tradition. We all see through a glass dimmly in this present age, the heart needs illumination, for the mind is a fallible guide.

    Very poignant and timely here in 2024. As a confessional Lutheran I agree with the premise of this. It is not enough to just have the correct formulation of doctrine, as if it were merely an academic exercise in systematic theology per se. The correct understanding is what forms and informs the gospel which we live, teach and share, where Christ and Christ alone is truly magnified.

      The holy bible was not written in English. Most false doctrines are due to translation errors or by adding and removing from holy scripture. The Greek Aion is Eon in English , but the Greek Aion translated to Aeternium in Latin becomes Eternal in English, presto chango (the power of the vulgate edition). The magicians have not cast an invisibility spell on themselves, but an alteration spell on holy writ. Pagan doctrines of devils have brought judgement to this world and it starts with the household of faith. The enemy is a fifth column, a trojan horse inside the walls of the churches, you are about to see some real magick now. But these fools will summon something they cannot deal with, as has been prophesied, all according to plan and God's will. Mene, mene, tarsal upharsin, Maranatha!

    And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel; [46] and he said unto them, Set your heart unto all the words which I testify unto you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, even all the words of this law. [47] For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.
    Isaiah 42:8,21 ASV
    I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images. [21] It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
    Isaiah 8:13,16,20 ASV
    Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. [16] Bind thou up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. [20] To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

    Christians, if you trusted in Jesus for your salvation. You are saved. If you reject the notion of placing your faith in reformed theology to be saved, then you are saved. Don't freak out.

    Not theoretical. The majority of Presbyterian, WCF subscribing, ministers in the Church of Scotland during the 18th century were orthodox but likely unconverted. Lachlan Mackenzie in 1793 opened his charge to the man who was about to be ordained to the Christian ministry like this: If people go to perdition in these days, it is not for want of ministers. The clergy are likely to become soon as plentiful as the locusts in Egypt, and which of them is the greater plague of the two, time and the experience of the Church will discover.

      It's sort of a mute point. The non-elect don't trust in Jesus, so it won't do them any good, sadly. Don't stress over the finer points of Calvinism. This election/predestination/free will stuff is mysterious. Trust in Jesus, preach the gospel, pray for others trusting God is in control.

    I have read the entire Westminster Confession of Faith, reading many portions of the first nineteen chapters multiple times. This document is perhaps good for refuting the hubris of man's power and ability before God. Unfortunately, it also makes God out to be something of a bully with a magnifying glass arbitrarily burning some ants and while sparing others. Now I've been through the entire Bible cover-to-cover (excluding the concordance at the back) so I know this obviously isn't the case, but I probably wouldn't use it to shape my relationship with Jesus Christ. In fact, I would probably only pull it out to deal with someone infatuated with their own free will and "authority" on earth (using Word of Faith terminology here).

      Although we do not know WHY God chooses some and not others, the scriptures are super clear that He does actually choose. It’s likely not just “arbitrary.” But He flat out says that He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy, and He will harden those whom He will harden. The Bible also asks who are you O man to question God? If He chooses to save some for His glory and condemn others for His glory, who are you to object? He creates, and He destroys. If we truly believe in the holiness, goodness, and sovereignty of God then we will stop questioning Him and simply believe and trust in Him.

      @@Lonesoul9791 Except the concept of hardening requires real choice, otherwise God wouldn't be hardening a person against something. God's ability to choose and have mercy or harden is about His sovereignty in doing so, to blanketly apply that passage to all people is an unjustifiable leap which comes from imparting deterministic presuppositions onto Scripture.

    If the devil knows scripture better than any human then who do you believe if 12 different sects of christianity all claim to know the truth? Lets go to court..... Who compiled the Bible?....the Catholic Church and the word Bible is latin its pronounced Bee-bleh meaning book. If the word of God is the seed and was proclaimed in Jerusalem then what grew at every spot Jesus was or taught?....the Catholic Church. Whats at every spot where the apostles were martyred or died?....the Catholic Church. Who owns the remnants of the holy cross of Jesus?....the Catholic Church. Who owns the nails of the cross?...the Catholic Church. Who owns the Shroud of Turin?....the Catholic Church. Who owns the veil of Veronica?...the Catholic Church. Who owns the wedding ring of Mary(La Santa Anello)?...the Catholic Church. Who owns the holy house of Loreto(house of Mary and Joseph)?...the Catholic Church. The evidence is overwhelming. So first validate your church and bible before you even read or quote scripture. We all know the devil knows scripture so who to believe?....the Catholic Church that can validate everything. I can tell you that i found corruption in the US government so I no longer regard the US government as the authority of my US Navy Seal training manual. I just read it for myself and train myself. Thats basically all you protestants. Sola scriptora and sola fide Navy Seals lol. Gloria tibi Domine
