@elonmusk I’m going to just continue old school. Read the Word of God and walk with Jesus my Lord.

@DrAlanKurschner In Luke 17, when Jesus speaks of being taken, the disciples ask "where?" Their intention is to ask where those people will be taken. Jesus' answer identifies the place they will be taken as "where there is a dead body," where "vultures gather." Again, being taken is judgement.

[J. Alex Myersen @JMyersen]

@DrAlanKurschner The comparison Jesus introduces in Matt. 24:39 frames and characterizes 40-41: just as the flood "took them all away" as a judgement, "that is how it will be at the coming of the Son of man," where "one will be taken and the other left." Being taken is, in the context, judgement.

@Rfrmd_Rstr8nist There is much to incorporate into how we understand it all. This is an interesting response. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps we can discuss in greater detail sometime.

[J. Alex Myersen @JMyersen]

@Rfrmd_Rstr8nist Basically, the manner in which God has previously fulfilled the Abrahamic covenant provides a hermeneutical basis for anticipating it's final fulfillment. The Old Testament develops its prophetic outlook in line with God's historical achievements. He does exactly as he promises.

[J. Alex Myersen @JMyersen]

@Rfrmd_Rstr8nist As God literally fulfilled the "good word" to Abraham, in both the land conquest (Deut. 9:5) and return from Babylon (Jeremiah 29:10-14) - why retroactively change the future historical circumstances original recipients were given as final fulfillment (Deut. 30:4, Isa. 11:11-12)?

@LightlyBurdened @StephenJMZ NASB revises the 1901 ASV, just like the RSV did. Geneologically—they are like siblings.

[J. Alex Myersen @JMyersen]

@TRHowardJr @ProvisionistP They use it to allege a supposed propositional entailment of our theology, but one that is formally based on their own understanding of Calvinism, not our own. Rhetorically, it could guard them from criticism of misrepresentation, as it somewhat acknowledges we might not agree.

@JulesDiner I feel like there is a spirit at work to make everything a spectacle. But I don't mind this particular spectacle.

@PresbyXian @UpTambourine This works.

[J. Alex Myersen @JMyersen]

@daveythiessen @MethodMinistry Warren appears to contrast possible definitions of faith either as mere intellectual/mental conviction, or his claim that Biblical faith incorporates the concept of allegiance/faithfulness. For him, faithfulness (which includes works) is the condition for receiving salvation.

[J. Alex Myersen @JMyersen]

@DPGBehler @Chris_Harris111 He could still apologize for misrepresenting you, though. The connotations of "beat him down" reads more negatively than what you actually said.

[J. Alex Myersen @JMyersen]

@DPGBehler @Chris_Harris111 It isn't proven that he lied. It's possible he read too fast and mentally mixed the text. "Beat him at his own" likely became "beat him down" due to "at" being read as a "d," while "his" was accidentaly skipped when moving to the next line. A "d" plus "own" then became "down."
