Investing, sports, philosophy, religion. I don’t need an audience. I’m just looking for interesting people willing to think out loud.

Not saying that was a deliberate trip around the bases. But by the time he touched home plate, he was Senior Caminero.

@VeridianZero @shethinkslibrty @GenXChristian60 Interesting. I’ll have to think more on this. I like your “restoration” angle. Enjoyed it as well 🙏🏻

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

@FreemarketChick @GenXChristian60 And what about those who died before Jesus? How are they saved? Election? Observance of the law? All Israel?

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

I’m trying to understand what you’re getting at. Is this an argument for universal salvation? I tend to read the “all” as referring to the two groups being addressed, namely Israel and gentile believers who have been grafted in. There’s a lot to unpack in chapter 11, including references to “all Israel” and warnings (for Jew and gentile) about being cut off. Honestly, it’s something I haven’t fully worked out, but I err on the side of needing to have faith in Christ to be saved, since that’s a reoccurring theme throughout the New Testament. Would love to hear your interpretation.

@VeridianZero @shethinkslibrty @GenXChristian60 I’ve read the entire letter many times. I agree Romans 11 is an argument for Jewish priority and I agree that Romans 9 is an argument for election.

@shaguncrypto Interest rates are finally getting back to normal levels

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

@VeridianZero @shethinkslibrty @GenXChristian60 Romans 11 is part of the canon nearly every Christian tradition accepts, so that's the text I'm working from. If you're using a different canon, we're probably not going to find common ground on this.

@dividendology 5 years is way too short

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

@shethinkslibrty @GenXChristian60 I’m talking about Romans 11

@IndianaBrunner Is incorrectly interpreting it allowed?

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

@jimiuorio True. I mean who would hate their grandparents for having success and creating a better life for their children.

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

@rabbriansamuel Baffling to me how anyone could study scripture in depth and walk away with any other conclusion.

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

Both things can be true. Hundreds of thousands are in the streets over rising costs and failing services, and that anger is real. At the same time, some idiots are using the chaos as cover for violence and looting. One doesn't cancel out the other.

@bourscheid irony

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

@swd2 Funny I just commented on a republican’s post who was claiming the exact opposite. This is the lie both sides tell to try to stay in power.

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

@JayTC53 @McConaughey This lie (told by both parties) is exactly what politicians rely on to remain in power.

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

@kasthomas @adamemedia Well said

[Just Ken @JustKenFL]

@weeble3131 @rickdanna4719 Yes. Sports need controversial calls.

@Tsar_Martyr “God absolutely exists” = burden of proof

“God absolutely does not exist” = burden of proof

“I’m not certain, but I think god exists” = no burden of proof

“I’m not certain, but I don’t think God exists” = no burden of proof
