You should not laugh at some things. I learned this the hard way. I've suffered for my art. Now, it's your turn.

@JordonStaudy @HwsEleutheroi @RealJoshNiemi Yes, but Thomistic ISO is much stronger. Here's Barrett: "The three persons are undivided in their external works because they are undivided in their internal nature." (Simply Trinity, 291) Just as you cannot divide God's essence, you cannot distinguish their works.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

This is the judge that ends the strife,
Where wit and reason fail
My guide to everlasting life
Through all this gloomy vale
Oh may Thy counsels, mighty God,
My roving feet command,
Nor I forsake the happy road
That leads to Thy right hand.

@darknytPB @DerrickBrite Yeah, infused grace is not sola fide. The difference is heaven and hell.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@puritanreformed @GraceAlone777 The preflood civilizations would have probably blown Aristotle's puny mind with their knowledge.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@DirkWalstead @RealJoshNiemi Josh, your side needs to figure out if this is the classical theism of the last 2000 years or if it showed up 20 minutes ago. If it's ancient, it will be well-represented in the literature. If it's recent, it's highly suspect, especially because it isn't in Scripture.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@rjl1689 @GraceAlone777 @DerekrRJoseph @isaiahhess That’s an interesting thought, but you must admit that we are well in the realm of philosophy dictating meaning. The text says merely that the Spirit descended.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@isaiahhess @rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @darknytPB @DerekrRJoseph This not "No Creed but the Bible," as continually and falsely asserted. The question is which reads which.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@isaiahhess @rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @darknytPB @DerekrRJoseph This is the Roman and EO position. The individual is not equipped to determine truth through the possession of the complete revelation and the Holy Spirit. The Reformers knew otherwise, that the boy who drives the plow was fully equipped.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@darknytPB @rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @DerekrRJoseph @isaiahhess Yes, depending on the definition of "division," "inseparable," "united," etc. If those words mean "indistinguishable," I think we've left Scripture in the dust.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@isaiahhess @rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @darknytPB @DerekrRJoseph You are honest about reading Scripture through the lens of men, even Godly men, and not approaching it yourself as a priest unto God (1 Peter 2:9).

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@isaiahhess @rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @darknytPB @DerekrRJoseph "I have come not to do my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me." - What metaphysic would least mangle that statement?

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @darknytPB @DerekrRJoseph @isaiahhess Would you be OK with stating that the Word who became flesh also suffered in the flesh, or is the suffering only ascribed to the human nature?

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@isaiahhess @rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @darknytPB @DerekrRJoseph Yes, and this is why we equally say you promote false teaching when you say that a plain reading of the NT passages differentiating the personal works of the Trinity leads to tritheism.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @darknytPB @DerekrRJoseph @isaiahhess Athanasius is right. The use of "one" doesn't bind us to Thomistic ISO, does it? Athanasius just said that the One is also Three ("Triad"). He's not leaning into either the One or the Three, but emphasizing the harmony within the Godhead.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@JoshBuice @gbtseminary @ostrachan That's generous, even. It's deceptive to say that evangelism is the same as authority in the church. Mary was delivering a report to the disciples, not taking their place.

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @darknytPB @DerekrRJoseph @isaiahhess Yes, the Persons share in the works of creation and sustenance, yet we are taught by Scripture to distinguish their works so that we don't become unitarians or modalists. We don't assume that the work of the Persons in creation are identical (undifferentiated).

[Gavin Leung @BradyBush]

@rjl1689 @Hooserdaddy3 @darknytPB @DerekrRJoseph @isaiahhess OK, so we can distinguish the works of the two natures of Christ, but if we distinguish between the works of the three Persons, we're false teachers?
