When I drink my wine unmixed, prattle with the greatest unconcern, eat more frequently, do you think that I have any other reason for doing these things than to scorn and spite the devil who has attempted to spite and scorn me? Would God I could commit some real brave sin to ridicule the devil, that he might see that I acknowledge no sin and am not conscious of having committed any. We must put the whole law entirely out of our eyes and hearts,--we, I say, whom the devil thus assails and torments. Whenever the devil charges us with our sins and pronounces us guilty of death and hell, we ought to say to him: I admit that I deserve death and hell; what, then, will happen to me? Why, you will be eternally damned! By no means; for I know One who has suffered and made satisfaction for me. His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Where He abides, there will I also abide.

Thanks for having proved my point. Only a deranged man would think committing a brave sin, or any other sin, is ridiculing the devil.

The guy was a nut who only ridiculed God as he pleased Satan.

You completely misunderstand what he is saying.

If you think keeping the Ten Commandments will save you, you are wrong...because no one can keep the Ten Commandments...much less the rest of the Law.

Only through faith in Christ are we saved.
