@Wehrschach_109 @BasedTorba @douglaswils @treblewoe Correction: The Spirit cannot SANCTIFY a black person to the same degree He does a white person”.

Even still, unbiblical.

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@LovesSardine @bbwoofield @BasedTorba @douglaswils @treblewoe Again, the debate was not, has God sanctified blacks to the same degree. It was, can He.

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@LovesSardine @bbwoofield @BasedTorba @douglaswils @treblewoe One, I corrected myself

Secondly, his argument isn’t simply that some are more sanctified than others.

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona Ok bro…..

@DemiurgeTsar @bbwoofield @BasedTorba @douglaswils @treblewoe Correction: The Spirit cannot SANCTIFY a black person to the same degree He does a white person”.

I understood what he was saying. I just think it’s wrong.

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona You’re missing the point completely.

When the people bowed before God and the King, THOSE PEOPLE would have not continued then to offerer incense to David.

If it’s all over, give me one example of someone calling on a name other than YHWH

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona These examples establish precedent for what calling on His name means.

Rev 5:8 is symbolic, but so are incense in general— prayer as divine worship reserved for God. Incense wouldn’t be offered to David.

Demonstrate where the calling on a name other than YHWH is right and good.

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona You’re arguing it’s univocal? Does David sin when bows before Johnathan? 🤦🏽‍♂️ You know I’m speaking of divine worship.

“You shall not make mention of the name of their gods, you shall not serve them”

“That they all may CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD, To serve Him with one accord”

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona You appealed to David to justify calling on a name other than God’s—but they weren’t worshiping David.

Invoking a name is reserved for divine worship.

You’re left with your special pleading.

Rev 5:8 incense are presented to Christ, but you’ve already granted prayer to him

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@CertainSpeaks You’re cool calling on the name of another god?

See 1 Corinthians 1:2

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona You’re not addressing the point.
They prostrated before God and the King, but so did Solomon before his mother.

Reverence is not identical to worship.

They never call on the name of David.
They don’t offer incense to Him.

The prayer incense are given to Christ.

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona That’s not my argument, but if we are praying to Him, show me where spiritual prayer to anyone other than YHWH is permitted.

Show me we’re calling on a divine or supposedly divine name is merely making a request? Showing me where it’s not an act of worship?

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona Isn’t that special pleading?

Calling on the name of any Lord other than YHWH is unanimously condemned, except in this one case when it troubles your doctrine…

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona Is there any precedent for calling on the name of anyone other than YHWH?

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@PracticalTheolo @DrMikeLicona What’s 1 Corinthians 1:2 paraphrasing?

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@CertainSpeaks My friend, your theology forces you to call upon the name of another god (1 Corinthians 1:2)

Is that the Christian way?

[Langston Maxwell @MxLangston]

@Brian_Sauve We’re in military service right now a long way from Utah 😆, but God bless in your work!
