reformation

Hello brothers and sisters, I have questions around supralapsarian and infralapsarian views. 1. Were these views initially brought up and discussed during the reformation? 2. Who are the earliest Christian’s to hold one or the other of these views? 3. Does the old church discuss any of this...

Several mainline churches, such as the United Church of Christ, the United Methodist Church, the United Church of Canada, and others, actively spend money advocating against the Pro-Life Movement in support of abortion, including “unrestricted pro-choice laws” which permit partial birth...

“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” (Gen. 6:8) What is Grace? It is often taught to be a magical power that is bestowed on us by God; the very source of regeneration itself. There are some who preach that God’s grace is reserved only for certain people. Some of these same preachers...

Yes, I know that this has been already suggested. I think it should be suggested again. The famous 'five solas' unites all Protestant traditions, and I think this is what should single out that forum from the others. Simply categorizing us as Non-Denomination is not enough, since many other...

This thread is about an Anglican view of the Reformation. Coming from an Anglican background and still broadly Anglican in my view of the world I have been asked to preach on Reformation Sunday in a German Lutheran church. It strikes me that the Anglican Reformation was very different from the...

Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Knox, Wishart., etc. ... looks like they were on to something - Catholicism (this one's for you), it looks like it is time for another C.P.R., a Common Peoples Reformation. A Catholic Priest Reformation. A Christian Practical Revival. Do you think 'praying' all day is...

The History of the Reformation! I am almost done with this series, and I am on the last book (powerful, inspiring, saddening, maddening, rejoicing, valour, betrayal, scandal, victory, royalty, intrigue, love, awesome works of God and mighty deliveries, special individuals, Martin Luther against...

Today is the Glorious 12th of July, the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne, the Protestant version of St. Patrick's day. This is when Orange orders stage marches in honour of their Protestantism and their forebears. Why though is Ireland not Protestant today and Catholicism so closely...

Is anyone planning anything special for Reformation Sunday this year, being that it's the 500th anniversary and all? Our Methodist church covers Wesley pretty well, but Luther is not even in our curriculum. I'd love some ideas for crafts, activities, etc.

Problems/Questions with faith alone theology and it's accompanied theory of double imputation are presented below. On Faith Alone Question - If a man is justified by faith alone and the scriptures say man is justified by faith (Rom 3:28, 5:1, Gal 2:16), why then add in the word "alone", when...

Here is a very long, but revealing video that shows what Protestantism is and where it came from. This video quotes such pillars of faith like Dwight L.Moody, Charles Spurgeon, and many others to show what humanity came out of during the dark ages, which we are running back into. This is a non...

Hello everyone, This is something that has been weighing quite heavily on me of late. I was brought up in the Baptist Church, and have identified as such for my entire time here on Earth. Over the years, I have done modest amounts of research into the other denominations. This delving has been...

If you look at the history of the Reformation in England, you see a constant back and forth. First we see Wycliffe and the Lollards in the 15th century with their proto-Protestant beliefs. Lollardy was quite powerful before the execution of Oldcastle destroyed them politically, but it remained...

(@GQ Chris I did it again, ordered another Bible...but not a fancy one, just the hardcover. The "premium edition" looked a little nicer, plain black, so I went with that instead of the slightly cheaper version.) GQ, would you ever consider the Longprimer? Looks nice but way too expensive for...
