- Five hundred years ago, an Augustinian monk stood before an imperial council and was called to recant his teachings. With his conscience bound by the Word of God, Martin Luther refused to compromise. His stand fanned the flames of reformation as the Western church recovered the precious teachings that were long obscured by extrabiblical rules and traditions.

It's only ONE way to Heaven, and it's Jesus Christ.
YES! And it is critical to know Him and be known by Him. Solo narrow way (I AM THE WAY).
Wrong.
@claymiller7389 what is your answer, what is your way, please?
Amen!!
Clay you in the way
Greetings from South Africa! I thank our Lord Jesus for giving me the gift of learning English well sothat I may partake of the Reformed banquet through Ligonier ministries.
@Daniel Swick hey Daniel, the problem is not a lack of good reformed pasters and theologians or that they teach something different. It comes down to the journey of my life. I started out as a Wesleyan Arminian and in 2016 I plucked the fruits of a prior discovery, namely Presuppositional apologetics, which by Gods grace lead me to Reformed theology. The other factor is that Afrikaans Reformed theologians and Pastors are not nearly as public and on social media as the Americans are. Consiquently it was due to Paul Washers surmons and John McAuthors study Bible that laid the first seeds, even before I studied Arminian theology.
The term "boer calvinist" doesnt make any more sense than what it would if I asked you what the Puritan Calvinists believe in America. My point being its an era that is gone.
So as far as my knowledge goes even the solid sound Reformed churches in SA are either a branch of Grace to you (mostly) or they are somehow conected to a Reformed body in the USA. The Dutch Reformed Church in SA is no more Reformed than the Methodists are.
99% of our Reformed literature is not from SA writers.
Laslty, I would mention that evem though I am Afrikaans due to being howeschooled I developed an English thinking mind. I grew evem more in fluency when the Lord challenged me to abandon an old "boer" mortality of "I dont speak English". He did so because a few years later I was called into missions and could with eas communicate with my brothers and sisters in Christ in several African countries.
I would love to meet more Reformed pastors and theologians in SA but they are few. Or maybe its like Count of Montecrusto said "you should het out more" :-D.
Oh and I have NEVER heard a pastor or theologian in SA expound scripture like Steven Lawson. He feeds my soul with the true substance of scripture and I can not thank God enough for such an opportunity grow in knowledge of the truth. Ones I BELIEBED that by faith I am sanctified but now I KNOW that it is by knowing and growing in knowledge of God/Truth that I am sanctified. May our Lord Jesus bless us with more Bible expounding, sola five doctrines of grace spiritfilled preachers. We need the truth. We need the Gospel known in its original meaning and not this other stuff we are being fed as truth but are nothing more than doctrines of demons and peoples own interpretation scripture.
Greetings South Africa from Pennsylvania, USA! 🙋🏻♀️
@@cherileerogers1650 Greetings to you Cheri. Wish I could see Ligonier valley there Pennsylvania where RC Sproul started this ministry.
@@pandoranazo7746 I just learned something new! 🤦🏼♀️ I didn’t know that Ligonier was named after a place, let alone a borough in Pa.! It’s about 4-4 1/2 hrs. west from where I live. Thanks for the info! God bless!
@@generalaccount2155 I allude to what you say brother, I am in South Africa also, I ve been searching for the teachers like those in Ligonier ministries, but none. But I'm glad you are.
God bless the Protestant Reformation and Martin Luther.

This was so awesome! What a blessing hearing these beautiful messages! My husband who was a pastor, but now is in a nursing home with dementia, would have loved to hear these truths expounded. He loved the doctrines of grace!❤🙏
May the Lord bless you and your husband.
Amen. Through faith alone through Christ alone.

Thank you Ligonier Ministries. I watch everyday I can, because the Lord has blessed me at this time with a place in my life where for hours on end I can absorb this content.
Praise Jesus!
Why torture yourself like that?
I have that opportunity as well. Such a blessing. My husband is an excellent provider. This allows me to focus on God. I share the content with him when he gets home and it’s so great! Other pursuits hold little interest at this point in my life. I’m not seeking entertainment anymore. I want spiritual nourishment!

@Norman Fisk define the word faith.....
It means to believe buddy.
@Norman Fisk There isn't one. There are dozens. "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"
Praise and thank God for Ligonier Ministry standing firm for the Truth of the Gospel. Our Salvation is anchor through Grace by Faith in CHRIST alone in the Scripture for the only Glory of God🙏🙏🙏🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
Thank you for Ligonier ministry and all the speakers for speaking the word of God so clearly to the Church of God today. We need to return to the word of God again. Like Luther Here we stand on the word of God.
Well said.
"Here we stand for the Glory of God alone!" 🙌💖
Amen.

and no move a Finger ? for you salvation this is wrong
@@eloinacavazoslore945 That's not what Here we stand is referring to. It's referring to the belief that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
Ephesians 2:8-9
New International Version
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Thank you Ligonier ministries. I have learnt so much and have grown in my faith in Christ through your online resources.
Thank you for all these enlightening lectures by several speakers. (From the Philippines).
God bless you in his will. I hope you are doing well. From Texas. Huggs. be strengthened .
Everything works out for the good of those who love him.
No matter how things look sometimes. Later on it proves true, over and over. I love you sister. Be encouraged . HUGGS.
Thank you for making this available!
Thank you God for allowing me to sit at your table to be able to feast on the bread of life that this message has blessed me. For His Glory. Your son Ruben loves you.
Thank you so much for this! I am grateful for this ministry! My life has been changed by it.
Thank God for men like Martin Luther. Countless souls saved because of the work they did and the stand they took.
Bcuz of their work? Their stand? When did you stand, say sinners prayer inviting Jesus into your heart, life? You chose, you invited Jesus in didn't you? Why?
@@SmellofFemaleWise up
Seriously?!? And what of all those Souls prior to Monk Martin Luther leaving The Church? 1500 + years post-Crucifixion and then all those from Eden to The Crucifixion? All the Souls never touched by Judeo-Christian philosophies?
The "infamous stand," albeit somewhat needed, was calling out certain corrupt clergy and practices. The rest of Luther's narcissistic ravings morphed into The Protestant Revolt. Are you aware of how many "non-Lutheran" souls perished by refusing to participate? Please do some non-biased research on this man.
Thank you for this message. We are so blessed
Thank you Ligonier!!🙏🏻
Praise Jesus !
Thank you Ligonier
Thank you again, Ligonier Ministries, for another amazing online conference! I am so thankful to each one of you that helped put this together and each of the speakers. God bless you all. ♥️
Praise God for the reminder to where we stand.
Thank you Ligonier, is there anyone who knows church that takes serious the Teachings or rather Scripture here in South Africa . Wow I ve been trying to get, but not successful.
@Norman Fisk DEFINE FAITH THEN.
FAITH MEANS TO BELIEVE.
@Norman Fisk understand words and language difference.
If you are writing something down that explains something the definition of the words conveys the understanding of the word. Words matter, but understanding matters more.
@Norman Fisk statement: “The just shall live by faith, the righteous one shall live by faith.” That first is laid out in Scripture back in the prophet Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 4. It is repeated again by Paul in Romans and in Galatians. And here it appears again in the book of Hebrews. And we understand that: “The just shall live by faith.” Salvation is by faith and faith alone.
false forms of Christianity are based on satanically-twisted Scripture. The Bible is clear, Ephesians 2:8 and 9, “For by grace are you saved through faith,” - right? - “not of yourselves, it is a gift of God; not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Romans chapter 3, again and again. We’re not saved by works, we’re saved by grace through faith, Romans chapter 4. Again in Romans chapter 10, Romans chapter 11, 1 Corinthians 1, and all through Scripture, salvation is by faith.
they were warned in chapter 2, they were warned in chapter 4, they were warned in chapter 6, and here for the fourth time in chapter 10, the severe warning back in verse 29, and another warning at the end of the chapter. Faith is the only way to God. Come to Christ by faith.
Faith and belief are two sides of the same coin. There are at least four Greek words for faith, and the one most commonly used is pisteuo, which means persuasion. The root word is peitho, which means to convince. The word belief in Greek is pistis, which means confidence or trust.
Different languages have different words... Understanding their use makes you fluent.
Able to find the word that shows the exact understanding of the other languages word.
Replace all the faith words with the Greek... And it doesn't change the understanding of the content.
Thank you for the beautiful music, added to the beauty of God’s word!!
Thank you for this, Ligonier ministries. ✨
GOD BLESS ALL MINISTRIES THAT ARE SHARING THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD EXEGETICALLY AND IN CONTEXT!!!
This has been so edifying. Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful, true story. I remember listening to the late Dr. R.C. Sproul's teachings on this. 😊
If Christian, why are you Christian and not your non Christian friends and neighbors? What did you do that they haven't done?
Love is a verb, too. And it's not the preposition "in" Christ but of Galatians 3, 22. Predestination by election. Hopefully you will answer my 2 questions.
I am BLESSED to be a part of the Legionnaire Ministry.Praise the LORD 🙏 for His Mercies endures forever.
JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS !! All Praise To The Most High!!! “JESUS”
Thank you for putting this conference on from all long distance locations. I have appreciated each man sharing scripture and the Word that is needed and warning of the Falling away that is happening.
Martin Luther was definitely my favorite Reformer alongside John Calvin. I have tremendous respect for Luther for being used by GOD to illuminate the Truth of the Gospel.
@centurion ~ Hmmm ~~~ John Calvin ~ Wasn't he the one who promulgated the notion of Pre-Destination? As in, your soul was already sorted out, so to speak, before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's eye, as to what your eternal destiny, or fate, was to be, and there is nothing you can do to change it...

@Norman Fisk you do you, Norman fisk. This woman doesnt need you man-splaning my own faith to me. Praying for you as I type this. You take the high road and I’ll take the low road and maybe by morning we will meet on the shores of Loch Lomond.
Sounds like you are very hurt and angry. You arent alone, but using your “voice” like this just….well…..makes you an avocado. Which is still a good thing, I love avocados too. And so does G-d. Take your doubts to HIM and wounds to the creator instead of trolling a complete stranger like me. 😉
@Norman Fisk then define faith. .
@Norman Fisk Jesus is God.
@Norman Fisk 1 Peter 1:8-12. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
John 12 44Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.
Respond if you need more.
If you define the word faith.... Umm. It is to believe buddy....
The music from St Andrews ....is some of thee most beautiful, and pure l've ever heard.

thank you ligonier grateful for this ministry though im faraway but thru this it helps me grow..God bless 🙏🙏
A big 'thank you' to Ligonier Ministries for this event. It is right that we pay homage to the great German Reformer, Martin Luther, who demonstrated unparalleled courage in standing up to the Roman Catholic Church's denial of Sola Scriptura. I also very much enjoy the 'Luther In Real Time' podcast which is also produced by Ligonier Ministries and narrated by Barry Cooper.
God is good!!!
All the time!
Amen person from South Africa
Truth and humility are indeed beautiful.
Amen in Jesus Name 🙏
Thank you R.C. love you sir n miss you i'll see u soon🥰
Lord thank you for this man’s wisdom! Yes most books are self help’s. So far from Biblical principles of loving Jesus, not ourselves. ❤ This ministry is so edifying for Christian who wants to grow. Most American churches are failing by ignoring Sound Doctrine. America has one foot in Hell. We are no longer under his Sovereignty. This is a precursor of Judgment of Jesus Return!

The Elders' Creed, in brief:
8. The perfect Goodness of God is seen in the Benevolence, which embraces all mankind and provides for their welfare.
His Merciful dealings with men declare His Goodness;
It is also seen in His unmerited Favor, drawing man to Salvation and in the use of so many means to this end;
also in the abundant provision which He has made for man's present and eternal happiness.
"Behold, NOW is the Time of God's Favor;
NOW is the Day of Salvation (Rescue)."
2 Corinthians 6:2b
"So let us come boldly to the Throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His Mercy and we will find Grace to help us, just at the right moment."
Hebrews 4:16
"God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have everything and plenty left over to share with others."
2 Corinthians 9:8
What's the name of the song at the intermission an hour in?
Edit:"Glory to the Holy One"
The Elders' Creed, in brief:
7. God is infinitely Wise, always knows what is best, always adopts means which will best accomplish His purpose; that is Wisdom.
For Wisdom is the art of turning to best account our knowledge.
Both in Creation and Providence God's Wisdom is seen. His Wisdom and His Works everywhere confirm each other, as being of God.
No higher Wisdom has ever been seen or known, than God's Wisdom in the Plan of Human Redemptions. It solves the problem of God's Justice in justifying the believer in Jesus Christ.
"the only Wise God"
Romans 16:27a
"We do speak God's Wisdom, which is mysteriously hidden, and is not of this age."
1 Corinthians 2:6,7
It sounds so beautiful, I would very much like to have the lyrics, can anyone tell me where to find them?
Soli Deo gloria.
Amen
The Elders' Creed, in brief:
*Atonement*
15. WE universally believe, that the death of Christ was vicarious and propitiatory,
and that by it, Divine Justice is satisfied,
and God can be Just and the Justifier of all, who believe in Christ Jesus,
and that Pardon and Salvation is freely offered to all peoples, upon Repentance and Faith.
You ask Jesus for forgiveness, then no sin shall rule over you. You must master it.
You call on His Name. YOU ASK for His help!
"Whoever continually calls out to the Name of Jesus will be delivered, saved and set free!"
Acts 2:21
"It will be for everyone, that "IF" they shall call upon the name of the Lord, that one will be saved (rescued)!" ❤️
Joel 2:32
St Anne was Marys mother not sister. Thank you brother for sharing this about Luther. God Bless you.
I was thinking that... What I know about Catholicism could fit on the head of a pin.
Agreed. I'm not Catholic though. I'm of the reformed faith.
@Norman Fisk define the word faith....
It means to believe...
@@andrewholt2425 o, to the glory of God for those who believe and put their faith in the One who died for us. Allelujah, brother!
The Elders' Creed, in brief:
*The Triune God*
11. The Eternal God has revealed Himself to people as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Son of God is and always was Divine. He is the express image of the Father.
There have been errors and heresies in the Church in the past ages.
But WE worship ONE Triune God, neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substances of the same.
For there is ONE Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit; but the Godhead of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is ONE God.
"Know today, and take it into consideration in your heart, that the Lord, He is God in Heaven above and on the Earth beneath, and there is no other besides Him."
Deuteronomy 4:39
Good stuff.
Jesus is the Fulness of God's revelation. Jesus left us a church that would safeguard the faithful transmission of Jesus teachings about faith, morals and the understanding of Sacred Scriptures to the coming generations based of the understanding of the Apostles, The Apostles maybe gone already but they still have a say to the teachings of Christ.
If there is one other religion that respects the “word” rather than what the current generation of “interpreters” might think it rightfully was, it is Sikhism where after 10 Gurus, they designated “Granth Sahib” as their sole & infallible authority over any living human being who may instead have choosen to do so as per what the convenience of the day chose to dictate. Smart move by the Gurus!
The Elders' Creed, in brief:
*Election and Foreordination*
16. WE believe God did Foreordain and devise a Plan from the foundation of the World by which He would Save man,
and further, He did Foreordain from the beginning, all men throughout the ages who would accept and be willing to conform to this Plan, should be saved;
so that everyone in harmony with His Power and Liberty of Choice, who shall choose Eternal Life through God's Plan, was Foreordain to Eternal Salvation.
"God has given us Eternal Life, and this Life is in His Son.
He who has the Son, has the Eternal Life;
He who does not have the Son of God, does not have the Eternal Life."
1 John 5:11,12
Ameen I'll stand from YOUR sharing 😇😇💖
The Elders' Creed, in brief:
*Moral Attributes*
10. Righteousness and Justice are Divine Perfections.
It is Holiness exhibited in Government.
Truth or Faithfulness of God is much the same as His Righteousness. All He says and does is true.
His Veracity is an Element of His Character. God cannot lie.
As God is Eternal, His Truth remains the same.
Whatever is out of harmony with His revealed Truth, the same is a lie.
To the question, "What is Truth?" This answer, which WE repeat in Heaven is true: "To know God, as He has revealed Himself to people, is Truth of the highest order."
Our Lord declared: "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." All things taught or believed that are out of harmony with His clear Revelations, are both false and misleading.
Isaiah 16:1a & 5
"Send the male Lamb to the Ruler of the land," and "A Throne shall be set right (established) with Mercy (Compassion, Faithfulness);
and One shall sit upon it with Truth (Reality) in the Tent (Tabernacle) of David;
Judging and inquiring of equity (seeking Justice), and hastening Righteousness."
at about 1:29, referring to Martin Luther breaking away from the Catholic Church on a mental/Spiritual level; this reader believes that Luther did it ever fully breakaway. There were a few things that he took with him that he could not release. I think that the whole concept of infant baptism was one of those things. Perhaps Sunday worship what's another. And there are a few others. But, the parts that he changed were fundamentally my monumental and totally needed to be changed. Praise God for Martin Luther!
I'm finally leaning truth of the gospel, thank you Ligonier ministries.
The Elders' Creed, in brief:
6. The Foreknowledge of God is also absolute.
How the Foreknowledge of God is to be reconciled with man's free agency and moral accountability is indeed to men in the World a dark problem; but in the Scriptures both are clearly taught, and Faith accepts what Reason cannot reconcile.
Some of the churches on Earth have denied man's moral freedom. Others maintain that God in the exercise of His Omniscience, like His Omnipotence, abstains from knowing what His creatures will do under certain given circumstances;
But the Foreknowledge of God itself, unrevealed to men, does not impose nor even hint TO ME any course of conduct whatever. It in no degree affects his liberty of action.
Man neither sins nor follows holiness, as the results of God's Foreknowledge; He has made mankind in His image, a free moral being.
"So then, each one of us will give an account of ourselves to God."
Romans 14:12
I am Nigerian/American. I don’t adhere to any specific practices but I spend every day in meditation…I find the truth in this even though I’m not Catholic. If you know God, you find him in everything 🙏🏾
LOL. DEFINE THE WORD FAITH.
IT MEANS TO BELIEVE... LOL
@Norman Fisk Dear Norman, what then is The Gospel?
@Norman Fisk lol, again ,
words in and with understanding are understood , to believe and belief, faith , faithfulness, hope, it means to believe in to put trust in to act upon that trust ... In knowing. The understanding of and in is believed by the reader and spoken to, and of the listener to and of the hearer, and to and of the reader.
cant you understand. It means to and of a constant will to move in belief , of, in, acting upon in constant will , that's why it's an action.
@Norman Fisk well no supposed reality on my part . Hugs. Without words a person can understand meaning , it is words that are constraints on thought, the better you get at understanding , with increased number of known words the more you can convey accurately.
@Norman Fisk LoL. Ok again my friend enlighten us on the actual meaning of the word you say doesn't mean faith.
AMEN😊
By grace you have been saved. Not by works, lest anyone should boast. On that day they will say. Lord we did this in your name. cast devils out in your name. They are those who believed in works. By earning their way to heaven. When Jesus did it all for us on the cross. Remember these people have already spent thousand years in hell during the 1000 yr reign of Christ Jesus on earth.
Here is a shoutout to one of the best things Luther ever gave the world. I hope some day it will again be embrace and reduce confusion:
I believe as Luther did about the Bible. That the 24 apostolic gospels are more authoritative than the 3 non-apostolic. Otherwise we have genuinely unresolvable direct contradiction.
It’s easy to be absolutist, and I am absolutist about the 98% of NT that was part of the Bible 350 years after Christ ascended. And like Luther, I am in love with the other 2%. But life is sooooooo much easier (and more true) letting the truly canonical spirit-breathed books settled contradictions.
For when it was written that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”, it was referring to those 24 books “of gem and diamond”. When that was written, it was not referring to James and Jude for example. Not considered scripture by the apostles, not considered scripture when that verse was written, not considered scripture by the second century church fathers, not considered scripture by the third century church fathers, not considered scripture by the church fathers for most of the fourth century. Not considered entirely authoritative by Luther, and (just coincidentally?) the *only* sources of direct contradiction. Nonetheless considered by all to be Holy and wise and inspired.
----
Contradiction examples that were hence no issue for the apostles and early fathers and Luther (and lil ol me);
1. James 2.24 (You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.) *vs* Eph 2.8-9 (For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works..)
*How can anyone reconcile James 2.24 with sola fide?*
2. Gal 3.28 (no greek nor jw in Christ) and many others *vs* Rev 11:1-2 (..I was told “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles”)
God’s going to separate the Christian j*ws in Heaven and give them the temple and altar? Sure. The rest of the Bible totally teaches that 🙄.
3. The long descriptions in Rev where God opens books and judges people entirely by their works *vs* Eph 2.8-9 again, and John 6.29, 6.44, 6.55; Heb 12.2, 1Cor 1.7-9; Rom 6.23 and many more.
Beyond that, James (the works gospel) is the *only* book that is BOTH:
1. Non-apostolic and on Luthers list and
2. One of only four of 27 books that faced dispute because it was not in the canon of 170 AD. And then each disputed but finally included, but not until 363 AD.
Finally, we could exclude Hebrews from Luther’s list of non-apostolic because history has shown Paul did write it. That leaves only three (Jam, Rev, Jude). An honest study shows them to be profound and wise but not so clearly being directly of God in every word in the same way as the other 24, and the only places we find direct contradictions. In fact, on my word, I found issues in James and Revalation that gave me pause before I knew any of that.
Ironic . Irony... paradoxical. God is past our understanding unbelievably. But obviously by illustration faith is understood by john. By faith, you are cleansed, five solas are all five at once. Not each individually.
very good
Can the original Spanish of pastor Sugel Michelen be uploaded to the Ministerios Ligonier channel please? Thank you so much Ligonier Ministries!
I second that request, thank you LM!
The translator was excellent. I loved that , pastor Sug Michelen.
Pastor Sugel Michelen, his understanding of sacerdotalism is spot on 🎯. ♥️🙏🏻
The only thing that legionnaire Miss ministries, according to the discernment that has been given to me through the Holy Spirit. That was inside of me, is the rapture. The next prophetic event in God’s timeline. Why do you not see?
1:14:00 hymn😢🙏🏾❤️ would someone be able to tell me the title so I can meditate on the lyrics?
Can anyone please show me in the scriptures where the title or the idea of such an office affiliated with a church? CEO can be found? CEO? CEO of what? The office we have in scripture is Overseer-shpepherd-Elder. Only those who are called to labor in the word are entitled to be paid. No one else. Does the CEO answer to a duly constituted body of believers? Or Ecclesia? Perhaps this is why charismatic Calvinists can be part of or be invited to Ligonier events and received in good faith. Heaven we have a problem.
So then read the novel “Where Do We Go Now, LORD? - Burke.” Advanced. Good.
The Elders' Creed, in brief:
*The Divinity of Jesus Christ*
12. He is the Word of God from eternity. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
While on Earth WE always held Him to be Divine and worshiped Him as God; And in Heaven He is confessed by all, both saints and angels, to be God and equal to the Father.
All the host of Heaven worship Him, He was God manifest in the flesh.
"To the Son HE said, "Your Throne, O' God, is forever and ever."
Psalm 45:6a & Hebrews 1:8a
God, the Father, called Jesus God.
"A Voice spoke from the Majestic Cloud, saying, "This is My Son, My Beloved, in whom I am well-pleased." "
Matthew 17:5
The man, the Son, He received Honor and Glory from God, the Father, when HE witnessed or testified who Jesus was, His only Offspring.
"You believe in God, also believe in Me,"
Jesus Christ said.
John 14:1b
Commendable indeed are the teachings of these great men in believing the Scriptures are the final authority for the church while not a single teacher would believe that one should only stand on ONE VERSION of the Scriptures but rather accept SEVERAL different ones that dramatically differ from each other. (Strange)
Am guessing you're a King James Version only person?
@@mikemccormick9667 I do accept the King James Version and though I don't demand that you agree with me , it would be wise for you to stand on ONE instead of just accepting anything. You know as well as I do that God never contradicts Himself but the different versions of Scriptures do vary consistently. So, Go figure!
@@lonniesatterfield1770 Yeah as long as they don't change that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone I'm good.
The King James Version has errors too. It was translated from Latin instead of the original Greek. I agree it has the least amount though. 😊
@@mikemccormick9667 No errors wiith me Psa 119:89
@@lonniesatterfield1770 You're preaching to the choir brother. Since being regenerated I read old and new Testament daily along with daily devotions from Spurgeon and Alistair Begg. I believe in the inerrancy of the bible also. Have a blessed day. 🙏👍🙏
46:00 The problem is that some Presbyterians, many Lutherans, and MOST Episcopalians do NOT believe Scripture to be infallible, sufficient, or final. They believe largely as Rome does, in regards to authority, and as the world does in many moral issues.
AMEN
