540TH BIRTHDAY FOR ZWINGLI THE SWISS REFORMER

        

“Christ is the only way to salvation for all who ever were, are and shall be.” – Ulrich Zwingli

 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Huldrych (Ulrich) Zwingli (1484-1531) was a Swiss reformer, priest & theologian who played a key role in the Reformation, protesting against various Roman traditions that were said to be contrary to the Word of God.

Though often misrepresented & shamelessly slandered, even amongst Protestants for his theory upon the Eucharist, it was Zwingli’s preaching and writings, particularly his 67 Articles, which laid the groundwork for the Reformed tradition. His efforts to reform the church in Zurich led to significant religious and political changes in Switzerland that left a lasting impact on the broader Reformation movement all throughout Europe. I bless the Lord for the work done through this blessed Reformer & for his true love of Christ.

“The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;”
— Psalm 19:7

            On this date, January 1, 2024 is the 540th birthday of the Swiss Reformer, Ulrich Zwingli. I will post 10 quotes and prayers by the Swiss Reformer.

    

“Before the fall, man had been created with a free will, so that, had he been willing, he might have kept the law; his nature was pure; the disease of sin had not yet reached him … But having desired to be as God, he died – and not he alone, but all his posterity. Since then in Adam all men are dead, no one can recall them to life, until the Spirit, which is God himself, raises them from the dead.” - Ulrich Zwingli

Where God works, you need have no fear that things will not be done rightly. – Ulrich Zwingli

Christ suffered for the expiation of our sins by the most ingnoble sort of punishment, that He might leave no depth humiliation untried and unsounded. – Ulrich Zwingli

Our confidence in Christ does not make us lazy, negligent, or careless, but on the contrary it awakens us, urges us on, and makes us active in living righteous lives and doing good. There is no self-confidence to compare with this. - Huldrych Zwingli

Christ, having sacrificed himself once, is to eternity a certain and valid sacrifice for the sins of all faithful. - Huldrych Zwingli

[PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.azquotes.com/quote/849697]


I beseech Christ for this one thing only, that He will enable me to endure all things courageously, and that He break me as a potter’s vessel or make me strong, as it pleases Him. - Huldrych Zwingli

Never miss a single new movie film - subscribe here - ►    / @gem-film   In Zurich of 1519, young widow Anna Reinhart's life is marked by fear and uncertainty, trapped between the oppressive grip of the church and the burden of raising her three children. Her world shifts dramatically with the arrival of Ulrich Zwingli, a bold new priest at the Grossmünster whose radical sermons against the Catholic Church stir up intense debate. As Zwingli's revolutionary ideas threaten to ignite a civil war and spark a power struggle within his own movement, Anna finds herself both terrified and captivated by him. Her growing admiration for Zwingli’s genuine acts of charity becomes a beacon of hope amidst the rising chaos, testing her loyalties and courage as the conflict escalates.

To my Calvinists Defenders (or defenders of Doctrine of Grace),

Rogue Calvinist, The Twitchy Theologian @TheReformedCalvinist

Here is my blog: https://lutherandcalvinbrigade914.blogspot.com/

I suggest a nickname call for the 3 of you: The 3 Kings (Matthew 2)

If you add a fourth member, call yourself the 4 craftsmen or 4 horsemen. Adapted from Zechariah 1 and Revelation 6.

I was once an enemy of the reformed faith, but no more, I fell in love with it and I even attend a reformed church with a good retention rate (90% retention rate). I will begin with these two quotes:

“The fiercest serpent may be overcome by a swarm of ants.” - Isoroku Yamamoto

Statement in opposition of the planned construction of the Yamato class battleships, as quoted in Scraps of paper: the disarmament treaties between the world wars (1989) by Harlow A. Hyde. In this statement, Yamamoto implies that even the most powerful battleships can be sunk by a huge swarm of carrier planes. This remark also proved prophetic as both Yamato and Musashi would be sunk by overwhelming air attacks.

There is always strength in numbers. The more individuals or organizations that you can rally to your cause, the better. - Mark Shields

I believe that teamwork can be successful in achieving our goals, like the army of ants that overwhelmed the fierce serpent that invaded its territory. Our goal is to defend the doctrines of grace and refute heresy.

            I believe you all can win as a team with shared leadership:

Here are four key components of shared leadership: 

·         Shared purpose: Teams work towards a common goal or shared purpose.

·         Equal responsibility: Everyone has an equal share of responsibility.

·         Effective communication: Everyone has a platform to share ideas and feedback.

·         Social support: Team members support each other.

History proves to be effective:

Brothers,

            Remember in 2011, the arch heretic, Rob Bell wrote a book, Love Wins where he denied the existence of hell. Many pastors and theologians (reformed and non-reformed), united by writing and speaking out against him (see the links below). Like the fierce serpent (heretic) being overwhelmed by the swarm of ants (team of pastors), Rob Bell was defeated and exposed. If reformed theologians and pastors can do that to Rob Bell, I do not see why we cannot do it to Leighton Flowers and Brian FOF.

The Reformed Calvinist

@TheReformedCalvinist

There has been an onslaught of attacks on calvinism lately, This channel is here to show non Calvinists their inconsistencies and fight heresy.

As a reformed believer in scripture we seem to be constantly under attack. This channels goal is to build up the body of Christ.

Reformed theology is a branch of Protestant Christianity that emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and the importance of grace.

It was developed in the 16th century by Martin Luther, John Calvin, and other Reformers.

Some of its core beliefs include:

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith in Christ alone.

God is in control of all things, both good and evil.

Humans are sinful and cannot save themselves.

God has chosen some people to salvation, not because of anything they have done, but because of his own good pleasure.

Those who are truly saved will persevere in their faith to the end.

Consistent Calvinism Podcast

iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/consistent-calvinism-podcast/id1546024988

The Consistent Calvinism Podcast seeks to defend the theological position known as Calvinism or Reformed Theology with an approach grounded firmly in both scripture and logic. Calvinism vs Arminianism is becoming one of the most heated debate arenas in modern theology, with topics such as free will, divine determinism, predestination, TULIP, and understanding God’s role in salvation and topics of soteriology. This podcast seeks to not only provide a solid and consistent Calvinistic position but also to launch an all-out assault on all non-Calvinistic positions to demonstrate their inability to be biblically and logically consistent.

Sola Scriptura: Scripture Alone ....

The Reformation principle of sola Scriptura has to do with the sufficiency of Scripture as our supreme authority in all spiritual matters. Sola Scriptura simply means that all truth necessary for our salvation and spiritual life is taught either explicitly or implicitly in Scripture.

One of the major problems facing the Church of Jesus Christ today is a lack of biblical literacy. People simply don't know the Word of God because they don't take the time to study it.

A great way to grow in your knowledge of the Word of God is to join us on Sunday mornings at 9:30am for Sunday School. As you grow in your knowledge of the Word of God you will grow deeper in love with the Lord!

Let's make Bible Study Great Again by making Sunday School a priority in our families so that we may see a move of God like never before!

Hosea 4:6 "My people are ruined because they don't know what's right or true. Because you've turned your back on knowledge, I've turned my back on you. Because you refuse to recognize the revelation of God, I'm no longer recognizing your children."

Examining American Hyper-Fundamentalism - what is "hyper" fundamentalism, my personal experience in the movement, and what led me out. What distinguishes these churches from others, the spiritual dangers, and the resulting damage to families. The challenge is to leave the movement with your faith intact, and to find a suitable place of worship. If one is deeply involved, the ingrained thinking will follow you and have long-lasting effects. My other channel, dealing with answering attacks on the Reformed faith, is found at

A JOURNEY TO REDEEM A NATION'S DESTINY AND TO RESTORE A PEOPLE'S RIGHTFUL INHERITANCE.

In the early years of the Protestant Reformation, a new movement arose in Switzerland of radical believers who yearned to follow Christ in a more personal way and see their convictions integrated into the life of the Church. Labeled «Anabaptists» for their practice of adult baptism, they were driven from their homes, to the forest and caves, imprisoned, tortured, and put to death. Many were also banished and deported to other countries. Today we know them as the Mennonites, Hutterites and the Amish.

In May 2003, representatives of the Swiss state Church and hundreds of Swiss believers welcomed Amish and Mennonite delegations from the United States to the national «Heal our Land» conference in Winterthur, Switzerland as one step in a continuing journey of healing and reconciliation.
