The Offense Is In Us

"Doctrinal truth should be preached always, openly, 
without compromise, and never dissembled or concealed. 
There is no offense in it; it is the staff of uprightness."

Martin Luther, The Bondage of the Will, page 95 in the Revell Edition

The Faith that Embraces Flames

"Let this fact be deeply graven in our minds. Wherever the English language is spoken on the face of the globe this fact ought to be clearly understood by every Englishman who reads history. Rather than admit the doctrine of the real presence of Christ's natural body and blood under the forms of bread and wine, the Reformers of the Church of England were content to be burned." - From Five English Reformers, by J.C. Ryle, page 27, 1890.

I was wondering if any of us believe in anything for which, rather than deny it, we would ourselves be content to be burned.
