| Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams |
Speaking of an ass.
Your saints, or ours?
:O)
Actually, we do. When we pray the Litany of Saints, among others we ask "All the Holy Patriarchs and Prophets" to pray for us. We also ask all angels in heaven to pray for us.
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion,
For a Zwinglian or a Calvinist, it's part of their devotion
If you say it's Lutheran, you'll always cause commotion,
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye,
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye.
When I was just a little lad, about the age of seven,
Me father said Christ wasn't here, that He was up in Heaven,
So when I took the Supper, and ate the bread and wine,
I didn't get the bod'ly Christ, but only the divine!
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye,
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye.
On Sundays, when my faith was firm, I lifted up my face
And looked above to heav;n, which was Jesus' dwelling place,
Assurance and the strengthening of faith was up to me,
Effected by the bread and wine, as signs externally!
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye,
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye.
A Lutheran came into our town, proclaiming presence real.
He said that Jesus' blood and body both were in the meal.
Christ bids we eat and drink in order that the sacrament
Grant us holy absolution which is the meal's intent!
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye,
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye.
Now the Gospel all is new as I receive communion,
I eat Christ's body and His blood in sacramental union,
I see the light, I now am Lutheran, but here is now the twist:
Am I Gnesio-Lutheran or a Crypto-Calvinist?
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye,
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye.
For a Zwinglian or a Calvinist, it's part of their devotion,
If you say it's Lutheran, you'll always cause commotion,
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!
Now, the only question is, am I diabolical enough to put it into practice?
Revelation 2:11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
I don't know how it can be more clear.
