#lutheran — Public Fediverse posts

Martin Luther, 16th-century reformer, on Psalm 1:2's meditating day and night: "Thou shalt not kill" isn't merely prohibition, it's the positive duty of kindness and gentleness toward neighbour. Today this gets rebranded as "biblical manhood," where duty runs only to one's household, and Christian counseling rehearses grievances against entire classes of people so we can watch their demise more comfortably. A bold reworking of "meditate on the law of the Lord."
