  Antinomianism and legalism will always be with us. They have plagued the church since the apostolic age (read Galatians and 1 Corinthians).

Be the church.”   Now, despite the element of truth (God’s people are the church), there are all kinds of things wrong with this statement. But behind the words is obviously someone’s ...

• Was the Covenant of Works Gracious?

  
  Heidelblog — Authority: 573
  It is widely held in the modern period that it was. To deny that strikes many today as absurd, as impossible.
