cise its innate free capacity once these hindrances are removed which is to say it is able of itself to will or choose whatever good is set before it or else not to will or choose it this is a novel idea and an error and has the effect of elevating the power of free choice contrary to the words of jeremiah the prophet the heart itself is deceitful above all things and wicked jer 17 9 and of the words of the apostle all of us also lived among them the sons of disobedience at one time in the passions of our flesh following the will of our flesh and thoughts eph 2 3 having set forth the orthodox teaching the synod rejects the errors of those iv who teach that unregenerate man is not strictly or totally dead in his sins or deprived of all capacity for spiritual good but is able to hunger and thirst for righteousness or life and to offer the sacrifice of a broken and contrite spirit which is pleasing to god for these views are opposed to the plain testimonies of scripture you were dead in your transgressions and sins eph 2 1 5 the imagination of the thoughts of man s heart is only evil all the time gen 6 5 8 21 besides to hunger and thirst for deliverance from misery and for life and to offer god the sacrifice of a broken spirit is characteristic only of the regenerate and of those called blessed ps 51 17 matt 5 6 posted in uncategorized leave a comment larger

other creatures from nothing when it seemed good to him by his word that is to say by his son he has given all creatures their being form and appearance and their various functions for serving their creator even now he also sustains and governs them all according to his eternal providence and by his infinite power that they may serve man in order that man may serve god he has also created the angels good that they might be his messengers and serve his elect some of them have fallen from the excellence in which god created them into eternal perdition and the others have persisted and remained in their orginal state by the grace of god the devils and evil spirits are so corrupt that they are enemies of god and of everything good they lie in wait for the church and every member of it like thieves with all their power to destroy and spoil everything by their deceptions so then by their own wickedness they are condemned to everlasting damnation daily awaiting their torments for that reason we detest the error of the sadducees who deny that there are spirits and angels and also the error of the manicheans who say that the devils originated by themselves being evil by nature without having been corrupted posted in uncategorized leave a comment shorter catechism week 33 august 18 2026 q 57 which is the fourth commandment a the fourth commandment is remember the sabbath day

the will of god in all good works b q 91 but what are good works a only those which proceed from a true faith a are performed according to the law of god b and to his glory c and not such as are founded on our imaginations or the institutions of men d posted in uncategorized leave a comment westminster confession week 33 august 15 2026 chapter 20 of christian liberty and liberty of conscience 1 the liberty which christ has purchased for believers under the gospel consists in their freedom from the guilt of sin and condemning wrath of god the curse of the moral law 387 and in their being delivered from this present evil world bondage to satan and dominion of sin 388 from the evil of afflictions the sting of death the victory of the grave and everlasting damnation 389 as also in their free access to god 390 and their yielding obedience unto him not out of slavish fear but a child like love and willing mind 391 all which were common also to believers under the law 392 but under the new testament the liberty of christians is further enlarged in their freedom from the yoke of the ceremonial law to which the jewish church was subjected 393 and in greater boldness of access to the throne of grace 394 and in fuller communications of the free spirit of god than believers under the law did ordinarily partake of 395 2 god alone is lord of the conscience 396 and has left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are in any thing contrary to his word or beside it in matters of faith or worship 397 so that to believe such doctrines or to obey such commands out of conscience is to betray true liberty of conscience 398 and the requiring of an implicit faith and an absolute and blind obedience is to destroy liberty of conscience and reason also 399 3 they who upon pretence of christian liberty do practice any sin or cherish any lust do thereby destroy the end of christian liberty which is that being delivered out of the hands of our enemies we might serve the lord without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life 400 4 and because the powers which god has ordained and the liberty which christ has purchased are not intended by god to destroy but mutually to uphold and preserve one another they who upon pretence of christian liberty shall oppose any lawful power or the lawful exercise of it whether it be civil or ecclesiastical resist the ordinance of god 401 and for their publishing of such opinions or maintaining of such practices as are contrary to the light of nature or to the known principles of christianity whether concerning faith worship or conversation or to the power of godliness or such erroneous opinions or practices as either in their own nature or in the manner of publishing or maintaining them are destructive to the external peace and order which christ has established in the church 402 they may lawfully be called to account and proceeded against by the censures of the church 403 posted in uncategorized leave a comment canons of dordt week 33 august 14 2026 the third and fourth heads of doctrine human corruption conversion to god and the way it occurs having set forth the orthodox teaching the synod rejects the errors of those i who teach that properly speaking it cannot be said that original sin in itself is enough to condemn the whole human race or to warrant temporal and eternal punishments for they contradict the apostle when he says sin entered the world through one man and death through sin and in this way death passed on to all men because all sinned rom 5 12 also the guilt followed one sin and brought condemnation rom 5 16 likewise the wages of sin is death rom 6 23 having set forth the orthodox teaching the synod rejects the errors of those ii who teach that the spiritual gifts or the good dispositions and virtues such as goodness holiness and righteousness could not have resided in man s will when he was first created and therefore could not have been separated from the will at the fall for this conflicts with the apostle s description of the image of god in ephesians 4 24 where he portrays the image in terms of righteousness and holiness which definitely reside in the will posted in uncategorized leave a comment larger catechism week 33 august 13 2026 q 137 which is the seventh commandment a the seventh

confession week 6 august 12 2026 article 10 the deity of christ we believe that jesus christ according to his divine nature is the only son of god eternally begotten not made nor created for then he would be a creature he is one in essence with the father coeternal the exact image of the person of the father and the reflection of his glory 13 being in all things like him he is the son of god not only from the time he assumed our nature but from all eternity as the following testimonies teach us when they are taken together moses says that god created the world 14 and john says that all things were created by the word 15 which he calls god the apostle says that god made the world by his son 16 he also says that god created all things by jesus christ 17 and so it must follow that he who is called god the word the son and jesus christ already existed when all things were created by him therefore the prophet micah says that his origin is from ancient times from eternity 18 and the apostle says that he has neither beginning of days nor end of life 19 so then he is the true eternal god the almighty whom we invoke worship and serve article 11 the deity of the holy spirit we believe and confess also that the holy spirit proceeds eternally from the father and the son neither made nor created nor begotten but only proceeding from the two of them in regard to order he is the third person of the trinity of one and the same essence and majesty and glory with the father and the son he is true and eternal god as the holy scriptures teach us posted in uncategorized leave a comment
