The text of the mug reads:

"For I know the plans I have for you..."

(If you were ever captive in Ancient Babylon)

Jeremiah 29:11 is ALWAYS taken out of context and abused by people. Point out the error to them with this funny mug.. what does the verse right before it say?
Jeremiah 29:10 For thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. (ESV) It literally talks to those Israelites who were captive in Babylon, not Americans in 2020!!

How many times have we seen Arminians take 2 Peter 3:9 out of context? They completely ignore the fact that Peter started the chapter just 8 verses earlier and in literally the previous verse, verse 8, speaking he is to... "Beloved"? And yet they treat that verse, because tradition has blinded them, as if "you", "any" means every single human who ever lived.

In 2 Peter 3:9, Peter is not saying "any" in terms of the entire world, all humanity. Peter in verse 8 is speaking to the "beloved", Christians/elect, then in verse 9 he tells them that God is patient towards "you" not willing that "any" should perish.

In order for "any" to mean all humanity, they must be able to demonstrate where Peter stops talking about Christians, and about all humanity in general. They must be able to show a subject change away from "beloved" and to "every single human who ever lived", and the text simply does not allow for that.

In reformed theology, God is not trying to save all humanity. When it says he is not willing any should perish, God doesn't fail to accomplish His will. If you believe that God is not willing that any should perish, meaning all humanity, God has somehow failed to accomplish his will. Which, contrary to that premise, scripture actually says nothing can stop God from accomplishing his will.

See Daniel:
Daniel 4:35
all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
and he does according to his will among the host of heaven
and among the inhabitants of the earth;
and none can stay his hand
or say to him, “What have you done?”

This also ties into Jesus words in John 6.

John 6:37-39
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.

If you believe that God gave "all" humanity to Jesus to save, Jesus said it is God's will that He lose none the Father gives him. But yet people are lost in hell. This means then that Jesus failed to do the father's will, because He lost some given to Him by the Father.

The consistent interpretation then is that God is not trying to save all humans and has not given all humans to Jesus to save.

The Reformation principle of sola Scriptura has to do with the sufficiency of Scripture as our supreme authority in all spiritual matters. Sola Scriptura simply means that all truth necessary for our salvation and spiritual life is taught either explicitly or implicitly in Scripture. It is not a claim that all truth of every kind is found in Scripture. The most ardent defender of Sola Scriptura will concede, for example, that Scripture has little or nothing to say about DNA structures, microbiology, the rules of Chinese grammar, or rocket science. This or that “scientific truth,” for example, may or may not be actually true, whether or not it can be supported by Scripture—but Scripture is a “more sure Word,” standing above all other truth in its authority and certainty. It is “more sure,” according to the apostle Peter, than the data we gather firsthand through our senses (2 Peter 1:19). Therefore, Scripture is the highest and supreme authority on any matter on which it speaks.

The “five solas” is a term used to designate five great foundational rallying cries of the Protestant reformers. They are as follows: “Sola Scriptura” (Scripture Alone); “Sola Gratia” (Grace Alone); “Sola Fide” (Faith Alone); “Solus Christus” (Christ Alone); and “Soli Deo Gloria” (To God Alone Be Glory).

These “five solas” were developed in response to specific perversions of the truth that were taught by the corrupt Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Church taught that the foundation for faith and practice was a combination of the scriptures, sacred tradition, and the teachings of the magisterium and the pope; but the Reformers said, “No, our foundation is sola scriptura”. The Catholic Church taught that we are saved through a combination of God's grace, the merits that we accumulate through penance and good works, and the superfluity of merits that the saints before us accumulated; the reformers responded, “sola gratia”. The Catholic Church taught that we are justified by faith and the works that we produce, which the righteousness that God infuses in us through faith brings about. The reformers responded, “No, we are justified by faith alone, which lays hold of the alien righteousness of Christ that God freely credits to the account of those who believe”. The Catholic Church taught that we are saved by the merits of Christ and the saints, and that we approach God through Christ, the saints, and Mary, who all pray and intercede for us. The Reformers responded, “No, we are saved by the merits of Christ Alone, and we come to God through Christ Alone”. The Catholic Church adhered to what Martin Luther called the “theology of glory” (in opposition to the “theology of the cross”), in which the glory for a sinner's salvation could be attributed partly to Christ, partly to Mary and the saints, and partly to the sinner himself. The reformers responded, “No, the only true gospel is that which gives all glory to God alone, as is taught in the scriptures.”

This is the perfect mug for when your friend finally hits that 5th point of the Doctrines of Grace!

If anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor. 4:7), and, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor. 15:10). If anyone affirms that we can form any right opinion or make any right choice which relates to the salvation of eternal life, or that we can be saved by assent to the preaching of the gospel through our natural powers without the effectual work of the Holy Spirit, who makes all whom He calls gladly and willingly assent to and believe in the truth, he is led astray from the plain teaching of Scripture by exalting the natural ability of man, and does not understand the voice of God who says in the Gospel, "For apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15:5), and the word of the Apostle, "Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God" (2 Cor. 3:5).

One of the great systematic teachings to come out of the Protestant Reformation is known as Calvinism. The 5 doctrines that make up Calvinism: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace and Perseverance of the saints is also commonly known as the Doctrines of Grace. These 5 doctrines have restored the Christian faith over the last 500 years. Presented in this fresh format, it's an eye catching design that will surely get people to ask about the Doctrines of Grace!

Special Note: There are two coordinates in this design, see if you can find out where they go! Also there is a special birth year, but for which famous Reformer?

"God bids us do what we cannot, that we may know what we ought to seek from him." - Augustine

"To will is of nature, but to will aright is of grace." - Augustine

“Truly, then, we are saved by grace alone, without works or other merit.” - Martin Luther

“Thou must save and Thou alone” - Augustus Toplady
"God knoweth we have nothing of ourselves, therefore in the covenant of grace he requireth no more than he giveth, and giveth what he requireth, and accepteth what he giveth." - Richard Sibbes

Grace is not like a box of candy that you can send back if you don't want it. Grace is divine favor, an attitude of God's own heart. We cannot stop him from loving us, if he chooses to do so. Nor can we stop him from giving us blessings of salvation: regeneration, justification, adoption, sanctification, glorification. His purpose in us will certainly be fulfilled, Phil. 1:6, Eph. 1:11. - John Frame

"If the gospel is grace alone, then every conversion is a miracle." - Tim Keller

"Grace is in no sense contingent upon a condition we meet. If that were the case, it would no longer be grace....It is not by meeting a condition that we receive God's grace. It is by God's grace that we meet His condition. " - John Hendryx

"Grace is not a reward for faith; faith is the result of grace."
- John Blanchard

"Justification is through faith, not on account of faith."
- B. B. Warfield

"Saving faith is not a native product of the human heart, but is a spiritual grace communicated from on High."
- A.W. Pink

"It is not faith that saves, but faith in Jesus Christ.... It is not, strictly speaking, even faith in Christ that saves, but Christ that saves through faith. The saving power resides exclusively, not int he act of faith or the attitude of faith or in the nature of faith, but in the object of faith."
- B. B. Warfield

Justification is by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone. This is the article by which the church stands or falls...There is no gospel except that of Christ's substitution in our place whereby God imputed to him our sin and imputed to us his righteousness. Because he bore our judgment, we now walk in his grace as those who are forever pardoned, accepted and adopted as God's children. There is no basis for our acceptance before God except in Christ's saving work, not in our patriotism, churchly devotion or moral decency. The gospel declares what God has done for us in Christ. It is not about what we can do to reach him. We reaffirm that justification is by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone. In justification Christ's righteousness is imputed to us as the only possible satisfaction of God's perfect justice. We deny that justification rests on any merit to be found in us, or upon the grounds of an infusion of Christ's righteousness in us, or that an institution claiming to be a church that denies or condemns sola fide can be recognized as a legitimate church.
Cambridge Declaration

We reaffirm that because salvation is of God and has been accomplished by God, it is for God's glory and that we must glorify him always.We must live our entire lives before the face of God, under the authority of God and for his glory alone. We deny that we can properly glorify God if our worship is confused with entertainment, if we neglect either Law or Gospel in our preaching, or if self-improvement, self-esteem or self- fulfillment are allowed to become alternatives to the gospel."
- The Cambridge Declaration

"The end of creation, therefore, is not merely the glory of God, but the special manifestation of that glory in the person and work of Christ. As He is the Alpha, so also is He the Omega; the beginning and the end."
Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology, Vol II, Part III, Chapter I

"Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”
Is 43:7

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth."
- Psalm 19:1-4

Christ alone (Solus Christus, Solo Christo), is one of the five Solas of the Reformation. It emphasizes that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is not only necessary for salvaiton but sufficient to save to the uttermost. That no amount of human works or merit can contribute to Christ's finished priestly work. Christ’s all-sufficiency means, by implication, that we are insufficient of ourselves. Indeed the Scripture says “Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God.” (2 Corinthians 3:5)

"I must listen to the gospel. It tells me not what I must do, but what Jesus Christ the Son of God has done for me." - Martin Luther

"Christ stepped in, took the punishment upon himself and bore the judgment due to sinners. With his own blood he expiated the sins which made them enemies of God and thereby satisfied him...we look to Christ alone for divine favour and fatherly love! …Hence Christ is called “King of peace” (Is. 9:6) and “our peace” (Eph 2:14) because he quiets all agitations of conscience. If we ask the means, we must come to the sacrifice by which God has been appeased. For anyone unconvinced that God is appeased by that one atonement in which Christ endured his wrath will never cease to tremble. In short, we must seek peace for ourselves solely in the anguish of Christ our Redeemer."

Atheism has only two real principles: God does not exist, and I hate him. That's basically atheism, a worldview so contradictory it cannot sustain itself nor provide any objective justification for truth, morality, laws logic, etc. Yet Atheists will continue to make truth claims: God is evil, rape is wrong, evolution is true all while never being able to provide any objective basis upon which to judge and know these things. Only the Christian worldview can provide an objective basis for these things. In order to deny God they must presuppose God exists. Atheists don't spend time and energy arguing against Santa Clause, because they know he does not exists. However Romans 1 is clear: All humanity knows God's exists, so much so they are without excuse! Romans 1:19-23 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. • 100% combed and ring-spun cotton • Shoulder-to-shoulder taping• Side-seamed

The Tree Flag (or Appeal to Heaven Flag) was one of the flags used during the American Revolution. The flag, featuring a pine tree flag with the motto "An Appeal to God," or, more usually, "An Appeal to Heaven", was used originally by a squadron of six cruisers commissioned under George Washington's authority as commander in chief of the Continental Army in October 1775. It was also used by Massachusetts' state navy vessels in addition to privateers sailing from Massachusetts. The design of the flag came from General Washington's secretary, Colonel Joseph Reed. In a letter dated October 20, 1775 Colonel Reed suggested a "flag with a white ground and a tree in the middle, the motto AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN" be used for the ships Washington commissioned. Subsequently, the Massachusetts General Court established the flag of the state navy on July 26, 1776 with a resolution that stated in part, "that the Colours be a white Flag, with a green Pine Tree, and an Inscription, "Appeal to Heaven."
