We have services in Kålby this weekend, and look what I found on the bookshelf. I think this book which is in English language, is quite heretic. Fortunaly it was among history books, not current teachings.
I have a copy of that book, probably given to me by my mother, though I can't remember who felt it was important that I read it. I found many parts of it to be quite "flowery".
"The Word became flesh" (John 1:14) "Blessed are you, O Lord, teach me your statutes" (Ps. 119:12) This is a bit more than 10 words in English, but it is exactly 10 words in the original Greek and Hebrew. :) "Kai o Logos sarx egeneto" (John 1:14) "Barukh attah, Adonai, lamdeni khukekha" (Ps. 119:12)
LaestadianInfo, I would have said that, but the title said "...10 words or less". Besides, you forgot a couple of words: "Believe all your sins forgiven in Jesus' holy name and precious atoning shed blood." Remember, the person you are proclaiming it to won't be saved if you don't say it in that exact manner.
(Actually, proper grammar would be "The Gospel, in 10 Words or Fewer." The word less is qualitative; fewer is quantitative. A quantitative context is implied by the title. A qualitative statement, using less, would be "The Gospel, Less Wordy.")
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe.

The book wasn’t very thick. :-)
If you click on my Nick, it will take you to a movie about the services in Kållby.
ReplyDeleteThat thin book was published by the OALC and there is a second version of it published in 1999 with updated information.

I have heard preachers use:
ReplyDelete"Believe all your sins forgiven in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost."
God has already done everything; live like that is true!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up I always heard "believe all your sins forgiven in Jesus' name and precious blood"...never heard atoning or the other ones. hehe
ReplyDeleteTomte-thats a good one, thats what I believe too.
