THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

 

Men who Understood the Times: Do we have a Pronoun Hospitality Problem?

The men were kind enough to link to two of my Substack articles and discuss the quote from August Pieper:

“[T]here is no excuse for those who think it unnecessary to tell unbelievers about their sins right to their face and to condemn their ways with the written law, since the gospel alone is God’s power for salvation, and so it is enough to make these tidings known to the world. This opinion is not based on Scripture, but on their own wisdom. It is born of their fear of men and of the curse of the cross... Wanting to be silent about sin and win the impenitent only with the sweetness of the gospel amounts to denying God’s zeal and holiness and suppressing his threats. It amounts to hypocrisy, practicing spiritual quackery. It means leading the poor people to fleshly security instead of to faith and casting pearls before the swine. Under all circumstances the impenitent need the law, and only next, afterwards, the gospel.” (August Pieper, Wauwatosa Theology, Vol 2, pg 60)
