@AnthonypRollin2@GFC_4547@sola_chad You can’t be serious. Romans isn’t to both Jews and Gentiles??
He addresses the gentiles in his audience explicitly:
“Now I am speaking to you gentiles…” Roman’s 11:13a
@AnthonypRollin2@GFC_4547@sola_chad “For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants – not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all”
Romans 4:16
@KarenCicco@AnthonypRollin2@GFC_4547@sola_chad No, but it shows that the descendants of Abraham will indeed never pass away (this is true anyway considering the many Jewish Saints.)
Romans 11 has one tree☝️grafting in that tree requires faith (which makes you part of the church)
@AnthonypRollin2@GFC_4547@sola_chad Are those of faith not part of that family?
And not all “fleshly descendants” are truly descendants? (Romans 9:6-8)
@Joel7Richardson@NathanMarth If spiritual Israel is Jew + Gentiles, wouldn’t it make sense that Paul is saying Israel’s partial hardening leads to the gentile inclusion, then more Jews are included through jealousy, and in this way all (spiritual) Israel is saved?
This seems to fit the context of Romans 11.
@JoeSixPackShow@TheBandofNobody@annamlulis Not when there is parental responsibility. A parent has a positive obligation to keep their children alive, or they will be charged with negligence.
And that’s just if they don’t attempt to keep them alive, not even addressing intentionally killing the child.
@JoeSixPackShow@TheBandofNobody@annamlulis 1. I never said infant
2. It wouldn’t matter because I wasn’t being scientific.
3. It’s still a human life worthy of protection.
We don’t ascribe different worth to the infant, toddler, child, adolescent, or adult just because of their stage of development.
@JoeSixPackShow@TheBandofNobody@annamlulis I’m not the one who can’t tell the words “infant” and “baby” apart.
You posted stages of development. “Baby” is not a scientific stage of development.
When someone says they have a “baby bump” do you get confused and crash out there too?
@JoeSixPackShow@TheBandofNobody@annamlulis Infancy is not spelt “BABY.” I didn’t call the baby an infant, and neither was I trying to be scientific.
You went for some “gotcha” and failed at it.
@TheMiddleborne@JoelWBerry In all seriousness, I do wish the best for you and your family. I admire that you’re willing to have a large family.
My hope is that generations following us wouldn’t feel like it is financially untenable to have a large family.
Peace to you.
@TheMiddleborne@JoelWBerry No, you like to condescend and while missing the actual issue.
If you actually care to see why you’re wrong, go to the original thread. Notice the exact attitude from Joel that Matt was talking about at the start of the thread.

Last night, my wife made homemade burritos for our family of 8 and it cost less than $20 total for everyone.
Im beginning to think the affordability crisis is really an “I don’t know how to cook” crisis
