I read a sermon this morning about the Sabbath Day and how the pastor says that in the Old Testament the Sabbath Day was given to the people as a day of rest but also as an exercise in trust. The people learned to rely on God that they will be taken care of on that one day and we see even proof...
Martin Luther Sermon - Parable of the Good Samaritan
""Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
5. This lawyer was perhaps a wise man and well acquainted with the Scriptures, as his answer also suggests; yet here he becomes a fool, and must first begin to learn from the Lord, when...
Luther wrote that “pride is the mother of all heresies, indeed as both sacred and profane history testifies, it is the source of all sin and ruin.” [Luther, Lectures on Galatians, LW 27:97; Augustine, Reply to Faustus 22. 22]
"Moses once told the Israelites that God would raise up a prophet...
Staff would like to remind members that this section called Christian Theology has a specific rule that only those who adhere to the Nicene Creed should be posting here. If you do not believe in the Trinity or follow the Nicene Creed you should be posting in the World Religion and Speculative...
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The gift of God...eternal life.
You can't work your way into eternal life since it's a gift.
You can't earn it since it's a gift.
The gift is from God and it's because of Jesus the...
If you're completely honest what do you place above God?
We all put something above God at some point. Money? Brisket? New car? Our children?
Let's be honest.
Luke 1:1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
Prayer surely must have been known among the Hebrews/Jews so why do you think the disciples had to ask Jesus to teach them how...
If you are of the believer who thinks baptism is merely a symbol, do you insist that baptisms are done in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit? If it means nothing but a show to you in front of your congregation then why would it even matter?

"The three Persons of the one Godhead, while being equal as to their one substance, are distinct as to how they relate to one another. The Father, whose deity is derived from no one, eternally begets the Son, not the Son the Father. The Son is...
My friend Forgiven (she's returned here as Forgiven1) and I were once removed from a Christian social site similar to MySpace for telling the members that Jesus forgives their sins. You see, people don't identify Jesus with forgiveness. There was actually a poll I read about (I don't have the...
Proverbs 26:4-5
4
Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be just like him.
5
Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.
How do you distinguish between the two?
I was reading a Q and A on a ministry website and came across this:
"God would actually banish Adam and Eve from the garden for their protection so that they would not eat of the tree of life (Genesis 3:24). It they had eaten of that tree in their sinful state, they would have existed forever...
The first person to recognize Jesus was an unborn child.
Luke 1:41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
I think it's fascinating that God wanted us to know about the faith of an unborn child who knew the Savior was...
Even though we don't reap the benefits of salvation quite yet, we are saved by Jesus' blood, death and resurrection. There are those who don't think that Christians are saved in their lifetime though...does that mean they're only partly saved? Or not saved at all?
