Old Lutheran Quote of the Day
From these and similar passages of Holy Scripture, it's quite obvious to conclude that the restoration of the image of God and the renewal of our nature is not perfect in this life, but that sin in the flesh is still continuously present in reborn and renewed people. By the power of the Spirit, they must strive against this, stifle it, and kill it off in order that they not be overcome by it and become stuck into the former yoke of sin. -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis, p. 201

"these" = which passages?
Buy the Scholia and you'll know... ;)
I think I've been banned from buying books for a while...
You too! Well, remember that it is easier to obtain forgiveness than permission.
I think that approach led to the ban...
