Charles Frederick Schaeffer, conservative Lutheran pastor and seminary professor, considers the example of the gifts of the wise men (Matthew 2:11) to baby Jesus. We have the same duty to give to relieve the poor and sustain teachers of the gospel.

Two duties together, stemming from the example of the wise men.

How can you consecrate a part of your property?

CHARLES FREDERICK SCHAEFFER (1807-1879) Annotations on the Gospel according to Matthew "It is our duty to consecrate a part of our property, all of which is the Lord's (Ps. 24:1; 1 Cor. 4:7; 10: 26), to the same cause, so that while, on the one hand, the poor may be relieved, on the other hand pastors and teachers may be sustained in their labors, and, in general, men may be sent forth to preach the Gospel (Rom. 10:14, 15)."

I’m an unabashed apologist of the fact that #protestant #clergy should return to wearing the collar.

@emmanuelwald D'autant plus que point de vue #protestant, s'appeler Leon, ça rappelle de mauvais souvenirs. 😉 Il a au moins le bon goût d'être augustinien comme #Luther. 😃

Happy #Doorsday everyone! 🚪
Here is #Germany's most famous #door (the website even claims it may be the most famous door in the world, ha!): The "Theses #Doors" of the All Saints' #Church in #Wittenberg. It is said that Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on this door. These theses launched the #Protestant #Reformation in 1517, resulting in the birth of #Protestantism.

Of course this is not the original door from back then. It burned down in 1760 in the Seven Years' War, together with most of the church, and was replaced. These #bronze doors were installed on Luther's 375th birthday in 1858, with his theses inscribed in Latin. Today, the doors are only used for special occasions. And for photos of course. Lots and lots of photos ... 😋

The image shows the "Theses Doors", the entrance to the Church of All Saints in Wittenberg, Germany. The entrance is framed by a large, arched stone doorway. Above the door, there's a mosaic depicting the crucifixion of Jesus, flanked by two figures. The door itself is made of dark bronze and features intricate carvings and inscriptions, commemorating Martin Luther's 95 theses. The stone surrounding the doorway shows signs of weathering, adding to the historical feel of the scene.

It's really fitting that #JDVance converted to #Catholicism from #Protestantism. His #theological fights with #church leaders, the #Pope included, were a very #Protestant thing to do, rebelling against #hierarchies and such. Of course, he's an idiot who fancies himself smart, so it was a stupid rebellion.

Nie gedacht, dass ich als #Atheist die christliche Kirche mal verteidigen muss. Aber die #Kirche ist nicht einfach irgendeine "NGO". Auch ein:e Pastor:in, Priester:in, Pfarrer:in oder Mönch, Nonne und sonst wer, dürfen ihre Meinung frei vertreten, ob es der #Klöckner passt oder nicht. Als ehemaliger evangelisch-lutherischer #Protestant, bin ich doch dankbar, dass gerade die deutsch-protestantische Kirche eine vorwiegend liberale Meinung vertritt, was der rassistischen und menschenverachtenden #CDU und vor allem #CSU natürlich nicht passt.

Le Christ est-il "amour" quand il dit "hypocrites !" aux pharisiens ? Ou encore "laissez-les, ils tomberont dans une fosse".

Alors quand des religieux insistent sur l'amour du seigneur, c'est surtout l'amour de se regarder le nombril qu'ils ont. Cet orgueil qui consiste à déformer le visage et les Paroles du Christ à nous en faire mal à la tête.

Les enfants martyrs de avaient soif de la Vérité et vous ne leur avez pas donner à boire.

petite présentation à jour : je suis un grand nounours #gay 50enaire. passionné par tous les moyens de transports mais surtout par les #trains et les #métros (membre d'assos d'usagers), mais aussi par la #mer, les #technologies de l'information, et la #généalogie. 
je vis avec un Jeune Homme et une chatte de salon devenue fauve de jardin.
je suis #protestant (réformé) non pratiquant
enfin, je suis très #émotif, #neuroatypique et j'ai des anxiétés sociales (et, paradoxe, j'aime les gens).
