Most necessary it is, therefore, that we should know this article well, teach it unto others, and beat it into their heads continually.”Mike Berttuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303372929967049193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33057643.post-1492731963583214822011-02-11T16:28:18.621-06:002011-02-11T16:28:18.621-06:00No doubt I expect a follow-up on Luther's two ...No doubt I expect a follow-up on Luther's two kinds of righteousness? In all honesty, these categories, which perhaps extrapolations from the Scripture, are quite helpful in clarifying the gospel and the "3rd use" of the law.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215174193221101678noreply@blogger.com
