A New Lutheran Phrase

Fidem habeo, ergo scio

Luther always said knowledge of salvation only comes through faith.  We cannot know anything about God and what God dose for us other than through faith.  Faith is what gives us assurance.  Though I'm not perfectly certain about my Latin (someone correct my grammar if it's bad), the above phrase reflects a Lutheran response to Descartes.

  1. Rev. Rasmussen,

    Hopefully you still keep up with this blog, because this is the only way I could contact you! I came across your blog from the Luther Insulter (please tell me if these two aren't related), and I'm quite the fan!

    I was wondering if you'd be interested in expanding the Luther Insulter website to the iPhone and Android market. I'm a computer science student at Spring Arbor University, and I would love to write an app for both the iOS and Android to put your idea in the mobile arena! I would give you and your site full credit, and also put your "insults explained" section up as well if you wish.

    If you're at all interested, or even if you don't want me to do it, please contact me at stwhite92@gmail.com . Hopefully I'll hear from you soon!
