@antemodernist @not_our_guy It's a false dichotomy; instead of focusing on sin vs not sin, he presents two extreme outcomes. People will see real-life counterexamples and think, "Well, at least they're not that bad," diminishing the argument's credibility and the severity of the sin in their minds.

[Anavultus @Anavultus]

@not_our_guy Being so over the top hurts the case because the other side can simply say that they wouldn't go that far, and in most cases, they don't. Sin needs to be opposed first on a small scale—that's what most people actually try to justify to themselves—the rest follows logically after.

@Sun_God1225 @not_our_guy "Argument from silence". You mean Onus Probandi?
Your extrapolation was demonstrably false.

"Riots are the language of the unheard" leftists when the unheard are Irish people and not BLM looters

[Anavultus @Anavultus]

@Sun_God1225 @not_our_guy It's indecent to accuse others of hypocrisy without evidence.

@ChristOverChaos @gianlucadiddio @not_our_guy I guess Martin Luther was being a foolish modern when he invoked Psalm 7 in "Against the Murderous Thieving Hordes of Peasants".

[Anavultus @Anavultus]

@Sun_God1225 @not_our_guy He openly condemns the BLM riots; what are you on about?

“We must do something.”

vs

“We must do the right thing.”

@aryanesoterica @not_our_guy We are all slaves to Christ or the devil.

[Hitler Hated Christ @not_our_guy]

Forgive me if I don't take seriously the moral claims of people who (correctly) believe slave revolts are sinful but then also seem to think molotov cocktail bombing some innocent person's home is an acceptable response to bad migration policy

@voth_brent @not_our_guy @FenianVibe Unlike some, I don't pretend, which is precisely why I included a subjunctive indicator; it's "stop referencing... as if", not simply "stop referencing". My aim is to point to the critiques of the justification of the revolution itself, not merely of the associated methods.

[Anavultus @Anavultus]

@voth_brent @not_our_guy @FenianVibe People need to stop referencing the American Revolution as if it's some morally uncontroversial event because it certainly wasn't in its time, and it shouldn't be now.

[Anavultus @Anavultus]

@not_our_guy It looks like when people who believe in the prosperity gospel get shown a strong counterexample, and they make up anything that avoids God's mysterious providence in His secret will. There are a lot of crank theories of history you can debunk by just bringing up Chinese history.

@MarkRob00010517 @WBarlaam @Trad_West_Art The inventor of industrially sliced bread was ethnically German. Bakers began to add sugar as a humectant to prevent sliced bread from rapidly drying out or going stale; they switched to corn syrup in the 1970s due to the price instability of cane sugar at the time.

@workercouncil_p @StefanFrancisci Their colonies were more of a vanity project; they did not have net profitability.

@WWUTTcom If he refused to retract, then sure.

@kourouklides @whitesocksclips It's the search engine's AI overview.
The full quote is not in the image you posted, but that's irrelevant because my disagreement is with the interpretation you offered, not the wording of the text.
I can read Koine Greek; you could have asked.

[Anavultus @Anavultus]

@kourouklides @whitesocksclips If you still disagree with me, don't let AI do the hermeneutics for you; go talk to your presbyter and ask him whether an ill-intended action causes guilt in front of God.

[Anavultus @Anavultus]

@kourouklides @whitesocksclips Matt 7:15 literally says that they are wolves on the inside; that can't be well-intentioned. And two chapters previous, those who are angry without cause and those who look at women with inward lust are condemned. 1 Pet. 2 condemns malice (KAKIA), hypocrisy, and envy.

@BayouKirkman @not_our_guy @GMRench Secularists can't be Judaizers and vice versa.

[Anavultus @Anavultus]

@kourouklides @whitesocksclips In Christian ethics, the intentions behind actions have eternal consequences; therefore, intentions are inextricably linked to the outcome.
