Atheist me, but this is still great news. Just love all the conservatives having aneurisms over this.

Exploring Protestant interpretations of the Second Commandment. It's not about using the Lord's name in vain, but rather about avoiding graven images, a key difference in religious understanding.

Lutherans follow a version of the Ten Commandments that differs from the one used by newer Protestant churches. This difference stems from historical and theological reasons.

Eternal Security

This is also known as “once saved, always saved.” It’s the belief giving Christian believers with an absolute assurance of their final salvation.

Its development, especially in Protestantism, has given rise to a plethora of different interpretations. Especially when defining aspects of determinism, libertarian free will & the significance of personal perseverance.

In the early 5th century, Augustinian soteriology views of predestination by predetermination came about, they didn’t validate Eternal Security. Soteriology is the doctrine of salvation.

By the 16th century, this idea became meshed into the theology of John Calvin & other reformers. Calvinist circles initially embraced Eternal Security under the name of “perseverance of the saints.” Eventually, the name became a synonym of the Calvinist doctrine of perseverance independent of its practical interpretations.

Then in the early 20th century, Eternal Security started to become a defining doctrine of Southern Baptist traditionalism. Around the same time, it also became a part of Plymouth Brethren theology. In this, the 2 forms represents its main form today.

In the 1980s, the Free Grace movement voiced that Eternal Grace was independent of the idea of the “Hyper-Grace” idea.

Eternal Security is based on the faith that the believer is an elect by divine determination. This is in Calvinist circles & has the minority worldview.

In some non-Calvinist circles & the prevailing worldview, Eternal Security is based on the faith that regeneration leads to unconditional perseverance & then salvation.

In other non-Calvinist circles & currently growing in the Free Grace views, Eternal Security is based on the faith that regeneration leads to salvation independent of perseverance.

This is just too good not to be shared. If you were ever interested in the #Protestant view on the sacarament of penance, Dr. Gavin Ortlund does that here:

Something I find weird is that many Anglos associate Catholicism with guilt whereas, we French people (so, mostly atheists of catholic culture) tend to see guilt as a protestant concept. For me, it goes this way: ⤵️ #religion #Catholicism #Protestantism

Catholicism: Sin all you want, all will be forgiven with one Our Father and three Hail Marys.

Protestantism: You're not allowed to have fun! Not once! If you dare smiling, it'll be eternal damnation forever and ever!

@Silversnapples

Just don't say that within the hearing of anyone at the cathedral. Not unless you want to watch their "How do I say this gently?" face. (-:

It's a good thing that the human race is a lot more relaxed about these divisions in the 21st century than it was in the past. #NotMyPope was definitely not a peaceful protest in centuries past.

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.

Atheists are now the largest group in Germany.

For the first time ever, Germany has more atheists (47%) than Catholics and Protestants combined (45%).

This decline in faith is particularly noticeable in southern states such as Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.
