38 απεκριθη δε αυτω ο ιωαννης λεγων διδασκαλε ειδομεν τινα τω ονοματι σου εκβαλλοντα δαιμονια ος ουκ ακολουθει ημιν και εκωλυσαμεν αυτον οτι ουκ ακολουθει ημιν

Notice how important κωλυο is.

39 ο δε ιησους ειπεν μη κωλυετε αυτον, ουδεις γαρ εστιν ος ποιησει δυναμιν επι τω ονοματι μου και δυνησεται ταχυ κακολογησαι με

40 ος γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ υμων υπερ υμων εστιν

41 ος γαρ αν ποτιση υμας ποτηριον υδατος εν τω ονοματι μου οτι χριστου εστε, αμην λεγω υμιν, ου μη απολεση τον μισθον αυτου

42 και ος αν σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων των πιστευοντων εις εμε, καλον εστιν αυτω μαλλον ει περικειται λιθος μυλικος περι τον τραχηλον αυτου και βεβληται εις την θαλασσαν

43 και εαν σκανδαλιζη σε η χειρ σου, αποκοψον αυτην; καλον σοι εστιν κυλλον εις την ζωην εισελθειν η τας δυο χειρας εχοντα απελθειν εις την γεενναν εις το πυρ το ασβεστον

44 οπου ο σκωληξ αυτων ου τελευτα και το πυρ ου σβεννυται

45 και εαν ο πους σου σκανδαλιζη σε, αποκοψον αυτον; καλον εστιν σοι εισελθειν εις την ζωην χωλον η τους δυο ποδας εχοντα βληθηναι εις την γεενναν εις το πυρ το ασβεστον

46 οπου ο σκωληξ αυτων ου τελευτα και το πυρ ου σβεννυται

47 και εαν ο οφθαλμος σου σκανδαλιζη σε εκβαλε αυτον καλον σοι εστιν μονοφθαλμον εισελθειν εις την βασιλειαν του θεου η δυο οφθαλμους εχοντα βληθηναι εις την γεενναν του πυρος

48 οπου ο σκωληξ αυτων ου τελευτα και το πυρ ου σβεννυται

49 πας γαρ πυρι αλισθησεται, και πασα θυσια αλι αλισθησεται

Alec Satin Found This Quotation on Heretics

Heretics
The heretics were never dishonest men; they were mistaken men. They should not be thought of as men who were deliberately setting out to go wrong and to teach something that is wrong; they have been some of the most sincere men that the Church has ever known. What was the matter with them? Their trouble was this: they evolved a theory and they were rather pleased with it; then they went back with this theory to the Bible, and they seemed to find it everywhere.

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Studies in the Sermon on the Mount

Lutheran versus Calvinist (Reformed)

There is a big difference:

"To the Lutheran the sermon, as the preached Word, is a means of grace. Through it the Holy Spirit calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth. It is a constant offer of pardon; a giving of life, as well as a nourishing and strengthening of life. In the Reformed churches the sermon is apt to be more hortatory and ethical. It partakes more of the sacrificial than of the sacramental character. The individuality of the preacher, the subjective choice of a text, the using of it merely for a motto, the discussion of secular subjects, the unrestrained platform style, lack of reverence, lack of dignity, and many other faults are common, and are not regarded as unbecoming the messenger of God in His temple. Where there is a properly trained Lutheran consciousness such things repel, shock, and are not tolerated."

G. H. Gerberding, The Lutheran Pastor, Minneapolis: Augsburg Publishing House, 1915, p. 278.

 Mordor graduates, like Ski, take pride in copying the Calvinists word for word, calling it "spoiling the Egyptians." His peers love the sound of Calvinistic prancing.
