“...and three days later He will rise from the dead.” ~ Mark 10:34b ~
“He gave them the lands of the Gentiles, And they inherited the labor of the nations, That they might observe His statutes And keep His laws. Praise the Lord!” ~ Psalm 105:44-45 ~
Who said encyclopedias are a thing of the past?
My magnum opus has arrived. Magnum as in 1249 pages, 800 illustrations, most in color, 75 maps, well over a hundred extracts from primary sources, chronologies and lists of key terms. I wrote Volume 1, from the ancient Greeks to the Renaissance, and my oldest friend in academe,…
Thomas Cole on obediential potency and supernatural faith: Faith is either Humane or Divine; We are naturally capable of both, but with this difference: We may bring our selves to a Humame Faith, but not to a Divine Faith; i. e. we may bring our selves to a Humane Faith, about…
“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.“ ~ Matthew 5:11-12 ~
What a claim to divinity! This allusion is just incredible.🤌 Exod. 33:14 “And he replied, ‘My presence will go with you, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST [καταπαύσω σε].’” Matt. 11:28 “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST [ἀναπαύσω ὑμᾶς].”
“And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.“ ~ Revelation 19:16 ~

Wolfe’s insistence that his view is THE historic reformed prot view is really 3 claims in one: 1. The view he advances is historic, 2. That historic view was a consensus view within Protestantism, and 3. It’s correct/true. I don’t think he conclusively proves any of the 3.
“But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.” ~ Psalm 5:11 ~
Ex consuetudine.
Actually, I for one do drive the speed limit. I’ve been searching for over a decade for a pastor to give me a theologically plausible reason why I don’t have to. I’ve asked people directly multiple times. No luck.
“And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.” ~ Luke 15:20 ~
"Actually I won't because Wagner drastically underestimates the effects on Scoti..." "...'Wagner drastically underestimates the effect of Scotism on the development of Baroque Scholasticism'. You got that from Byzantine Scotist? His thread from June 2022? Yeah I read that to.…
“Of course that’s your contention, you’re an inquirer, you just got done listening to some YT shorts with, Jay Dyer probably, and you’re gonna be convinced of that until next month when you get to Joe Heschmeyer, then you’re gonna be talking about how Mary and the Mass have roots…
“And what else is education if not a culture-building project?” ~ S. P. Kennedy, Against Worldview ~

"Look carefully how you walk," Eph 5:15. The best exposition I've found of this text anywhere is Voetius writing on "ethical precision." He got there via the Heidelberg Catechism ("what does God require of you in these commandments?").
“and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.“ ~ 1 Peter 1:8-9 ~
Bavinck:
It’s now legal for women to be topless in Minnesota. To claim that breasts are not “inherently sexual” in a culture that has topless strip clubs, companies like Hooters, and magazines and websites dedicated to exposed breasts is an incredible lie. Breasts are sexual. Modesty…
