If Scripture is clear, why are there so many different Protestant denominations?
@WesleyLHuff, @MichaelHorton_ and @AdrielTweets weigh in.

Incredibly, the earliest Christians embraced the symbol of the cross which was a sign of shame and humiliation in the Greco-Roman world. So what's the *oldest* image of Jesus on the cross? And how often was it used? My latest: wordfirst.org/articles/whats…

He is both God and human, equally. He is God from the essence of the Father, begotten before time; and he is human from the essence of his mother, born in time; completely God, completely human, with a rational soul and human flesh; equal to the Father as regards divinity, less than the Father as regards humanity. Although he is God and human, yet Christ is not two, but one. He is one, however, not by his divinity being turned into flesh, but by God's taking humanity to himself. He is one, certainly not by the blending of his essence, but by the unity of his person. For just as one human is both rational soul and flesh, so too the one Christ is both God and human.

This is a very important topic to address. I am glad @gavinortlund chose to make this really great covering of the issue!
I’ve said for years: if Jesus writes the sheet music of Christianity we see Paul playing it beautifully. Paul and Jesus aren’t at odds, they’re in lock step.

While discussing Colossians 2 with @MichaelHorton_ and @AdrielTweets, I gifted @solamediaorg three papyri facsimiles: P45 (Col.), P104 (Matt.), and P52 (John).

I may have actually changed my mind on this in the last year. I think there’s reasonable enough grounds now to say Luther DID nail it.
Today’s #manuscriptmonday is a Reformation Week post. Martin Luther nailed his famous 95thesis to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31st 1517… or did he (a 🧵)…

When we allow the Scriptures to challenge our preconceived ideas, there will be ramifications for our own faith and practice.

509 years ago today (according to the traditional story), Luther challenged a Pope. The resultant cause and effect didn’t start a new church, it reformed the one true catholic church. As Calvin says in his letter to Cardinal Sadoleto:
"[N]ot only that our agreement with antiquity is far closer than yours, but that all we have attempted has been to renew that ancient form of the Church… Indeed, in attacking, breaking down, and destroying your kingdom, we are armed not only with the energy of the Divine Word, but with the aid of the holy Fathers also."
Orthodox, but not Eastern, catholic, but not Roman.

Want to know more about its discovery? Check out the discussion of that at piped.video/lpsKNd8tqHI?t=1230&…
You’re looking at one of the earliest surviving depictions of Jesus being crucified, scratched into a wall in ancient Rome nearly 1,800 years ago.
Known as the Alexamenos Graffito, this drawing was intended to mock a Christian for worshiping Jesus. It depicts a man worshiping a crucified figure with the head of a donkey.
The Greek inscription reads:
“Alexamenos worships his god.”
Dating to around the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD, this remarkable piece of graffiti offers a fascinating glimpse into how early Christians were ridiculed for their faith.
Nearly 1,800 years later, the mockery is still preserved on the wall.

Said 2k year-old manuscript is in… late Middle Ages minuscule Greek? Odd anachronism there.
The text is Josephus, and he is 1st century, but this click-bait headline is pretty silly if they’re then showing images of what looks like script from the 12th-15th centuries.
If you want to know about the genuine reliability of the Josephus passages as they pertain to Jesus make sure you’re reading @ProfTCSchmidt’s work. I have a post on the content of that passage and a shout out to Sr. Schmidt in this post from a while back: nitter.siddz.com/wesleylhuff/status/196…
Written account of Jesus rising from the dead identified in 2,000-year-old manuscript, study suggests trib.al/XFIwGJj
Community note
This research compares later Greek, Latin, Arabic and Syriac copies to reconstruct what Josephus may have written around AD 93–94; it did not identify an account in a 2,000-year-old physical manuscript. joe.co.uk/news/ancient-j… wsjfreeexpression.substack.com/p/unlocking-th…

Want to know why this is? Check this out
William Tyndale’s 2nd ed. of the Pentateuch, published in 1534, was his first translation to feature biblical imagery on the title page. If you look closely, you’ll see Moses is depicted with horns in all three woodcuts he’s in (left, right, and bottom).
