To say that Jesus inheriting human nature is a change to the nature of God within Jesus is false and fails to consider the context of natures. Therefore, Jesus, as God, doesn’t change. God doesn’t change (Numbers 23:19, Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8, and James 1:17). Not that Jesus needs 3,000 to 6,000 angels per legion to come to His aid. Jesus claims that if He wanted, He could command twelve or more legions of angels to defend Him (Matthew 26:53). It references God as a leader of His army. It is one of the names of God that appears 235 times in the Bible. It is a transliteration of the Hebrews word “tsebha’oth” which means “Hosts”. This is not a misspelling of the word “Sabbath”. Jesus was chosen before the foundation of the world (2 Timothy 1:9-10, 1 Peter 1:20 and Revelation 13:8). Instead, we do what is right in our own eyes (Judges 17:6 and Judges 21:25), our sin resulting in eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23, Revelation 2:11, Revelation 20:6, Revelation 20:14-15, and Revelation 21:8). Apart from the power of God, no rival will withstand the attacks of the Devil.Ĭonsidering that the human heart is deceitful above all other things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9), it shouldn’t surprise us that apart from God, we’ll lose the war against the flesh. Also, for Scripture on the war against the flesh, see John 3:6, Romans 8:5, Romans 7:14-25, Romans 8:6-14, Galatians 5:19-25, Philippians 3:18-19, Colossians 3:1-3, 1 Corinthians 2:14, and 2 Peter 2:1-10. God provides the way of escape when we face temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, 2 Timothy 4:18, 2 Peter 2:9, and 1 John 1:9). How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture? Knowing the Devil’s end should compel us to step out of fear and use God’s gifts to bring Him glory. He will one day throw Satan into the lake of fire, giving us hope. God is the eternal Ruler of all creation. We have the Spirit, the Word of God, and Jesus as three sources of Truth by which to disseminate His Truth into the world. He sents the Holy Spirit to convict us, guide us, and grant us spiritual gifts. God is the Christ follower’s Advocate and Defender. Left to our own devices, we would lose the war against these three formidable foes, making us ineffective to further the Gospel to others. There are three enemies against Christians: the flesh, the world, and the devil. Note to new users: This is a different kind of review site! Read About the Berean Test and Evaluation Criteria prior to reading this review. Though there are several English translations in circulation, for this review, I will examine the Hedge translation. Luther also wrote several hymns, most famous for Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her ( From Heaven Above to Earth I Come) and Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott ( A Mighty Fortress Is Our God). It later splintered into several denominations under an umbrella that we call Protestantism today. In 1517, he nailed the Ninety-five theses to the All Saints’ Castle Church door, asking the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) leaders to reconsider many Catholic teachings, chiefly that justification is by faith alone, not by faith and works.Ĭonvinced that the RCC was corrupt, he, along with reformers John Calvin and Philipp Melanchthon, protested the RCC and started their own churches. Not to be confused with Martin Luther King, Jr, another reformer of sorts, Luther is most famous for his prominent role in the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther was a German theology professor, music composer, and former Catholic Priest.
