@Danuscript @maklelan There was no punctuation in the original Greek. Romans 9:5 can be written different ways depending on where the punctuation goes.

@InspiringPhilos The two powers controversy most likely dates to the first half of the third century CE. https://t.co/NMbMxNHCi5

@eMTBrides "This was understood as a direct claim to deity." No it was not. The Messiah and Son of Man were always viewed as chosen, anointed subordinate figures.

[apologetics_debunked @FatherFurnace69]

@RFupdates 1 Enoch 46-48, where the Son of Man is:

Chosen by God (46:3)

Worshiped as God’s agent (48:5)

Given authority to judge (69:27)

This is a chosen subordinate figure.

@RFupdates There are billions of people in the world and millions of smartphones. This means we would expect more evidence of miracles, not less. So the non-observation of macro scale miracles is more expected under naturalism or an indifferent God than a God who intervenes in physics.

@RobertLWallJr1 @TimONeill007 @MatthewHartke Jesus quotes Daniel which is a Jewish APOCALYPTIC text. Jesus was an APOCALYPTIC preacher and is depicted in the New Testament giving numerous APOCALYPTIC statements such as this one. https://t.co/6LHsswlgXj

@RobertLWallJr1 @TimONeill007 @MatthewHartke Both John and Jesus were apocalyptic preachers (who believed they were living at the *end of the world* which is exactly when resurrection was to take place) so your histirical framing is incorrect.

@doofgeek4011 The picture presents a false dichotomy - burial in a tomb vs left to rot. But there is a third option - a burial in the ground. https://t.co/zqWg4b7UsO

@RobertLWallJr1 @TimONeill007 @MatthewHartke What it seems to affirm is that the idea of a single dying and rising prophet figure existed before Jesus' death and people were mistaken in applying the concept. Also see Lk. 9:8 https://t.co/rWeXqPlJwS

@RFupdates The theme of miraculous missing bodies was a fictional literary trope in ancient literature. https://t.co/JAmKTmxKvD

[apologetics_debunked @FatherFurnace69]

@RFupdates The fact is that it's a growing legend. https://t.co/1bwQ3Y9LUU

@mbird12 @DaleTuggy 1 Cor 15:25-28 How can you be "subject to" God while at the same time equal in status? https://t.co/i41JhIIt1b
Mt. 9:8 God "gave" the authority to Jesus, meaning he didn't inherently have it. https://t.co/5Ff7ywE5fF

@Jojnall The word was more commonly used for visions, supernatural appearances or ambiguous experiences at best. So without any clear contextual indicator, the word alone provides no evidence for a veridical experience. https://t.co/kFPcrGXUDS

@catholiccom Justin Martyr paints Jesus as subordinate "second place to the Father" 1 Apol. 13, "first power after God" 1 Apol. 32:10, "another God" who was "subject to" the Maker of all things and also "called an Angel"- Dialogue with Trypho 56:4, says Jesus had a God in 56:11 cf. Jn. 20:17.

@cristojesusrey7 @VirCogitans @SlothInMirror @JaviMunozF @trad_west_ Actually, in Paul's letters there is no distinction between resurrection/ascension. They both happen at the same time. https://t.co/3xc0L4nkse

[apologetics_debunked @FatherFurnace69]

@cristojesusrey7 @SlothInMirror @JaviMunozF @trad_west_ Not when the command to stay in Jerusalem is given Easter Sunday. Mark and Matthew's command to go to Galilee also doesn't make sense if Jesus was going to appear that same evening in the same city. This is proof the Jerusalem appearances are legendary.

[apologetics_debunked @FatherFurnace69]

@cristojesusrey7 @SlothInMirror @JaviMunozF @trad_west_ The fact that you're appealing to Acts shows Paul is insufficient on his own to show what you need him to. This was the point of the discussion.
