Hey Dr. Matt,
I want to propose a Puritan Board tee shirt in the spirit of several recent threads.

Did you just call me esse?

 

[BobVigneault]

Fortasse Jeff, et si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes!

 

[Gregg]

Can I buy one with a hole in it?

 

[BobVigneault]

You sure can Gregg, just stand absolutely still for a moment.
(Jacob, fetch your musket, we got a troublemaker in the shop.)

I'd like one with 4 holes, please - one large, one medium and two small.

 

[BobVigneault]

Sure Gerry! Jacob, grab something in a small caliber would you.

 

[LadyFlynt]

(Maybe Jeff, and if you can read this you're over educated.)

 

[LadyFlynt]

Let your to be be rome? Help!

 

[LadyFlynt]

google is not a place to go for translations.

 

[Gregg]

Can Jacob provide one with a cannon ball sized hole?

 

[WrittenFromUtopia]

I want mine to have this on it:

Excuse my ignornace, but what is the deal with esse and bene?

I hear people talk about these terms around here, but they are new to me. What do they mean?

The 'esse' is the "being" or sine qua non (that without which is not) and the 'bene esse' is the "well being" (not essential but crucial to the structure and maintenance of the thing).

In theological circles, I believe that it refers mainly if not exclusively to the church: that what is the essence of the church and what is helpful or useful to the church.

You're .

 

[LadyFlynt]

So it's "Let your being be well"?

 

[BobVigneault]

"Let your essence be pure"
"Let your doctrine be orthodox"
"Let your church government be sound"
"Let your worship be regulated by God's Word"
"Let your presbyterianism be orthodox" (Shameless plug for the OPC)

These would all fit.

I know you all had to be cracking up at me!
