@M_Eashoo @ChristLifeInc1 @AMBOYCHAMBLIS The original Greek is wrong because Jesus speaks in the third person? Really? The other "issues" are based on erroneous interpretations and theological presuppositions. The game of finding apparent contradictions is an atheist's favorite and can be played with any translation.

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@rootcausesleuth I don't think this necessarily follows, for reasons I explore here: https://t.co/aLxf6OTFLD

@CherylSchatz @TopLobsta But neither is the term "Trinity." What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@avoiceinurhead @assassinscreed This was not a feature in the original game (though it should have been).

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@Tim_XRP @CherylSchatz I don't see how this follows. In the first place, Cheryl could hold that God's knowledge of what I will do is explanatorily posterior to His act of creation. But even if she doesn't hold to this, I still don't see how this follows.

@TheCinesthetic What exactly is "fake blood"?

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@SWoodl18571 @CapturingChrist And even if such evidence in this case would be expected, it could be claimed with equal justice that if, say, sola Scriptura were true, we would expect to find Ignatius talking about that. But we don't. In that case, everybody loses (except perhaps Orthodoxy).

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@SWoodl18571 @CapturingChrist I think one issue here is that it is all too easy to slide from wanting to have such evidence to the claim that such evidence is expected. Think of an atheist who thinks that we should expect God (supposing that He exists) to write "God exists" in the stars.

@lady_dy_stl @FrMatthewLC @realmikolson @BreeSolstad Later doctrinal developments like sola Scriptura?

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@falthman71 @andyfrank95 @CherylSchatz OSAS is not a biblical fact: https://t.co/tnqrtgFrxq

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@AloneJesusSaves I could say the same to you. "We're saved by grace, BUT... we need to have faith."

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@AloneJesusSaves Moreover, I find it ironic that someone who insists that we must believe in Jesus is willing to dismiss what Jesus says when it conflicts with his misinterpretation of Paul under the subterfuge of Jesus speaking under a different dispensation.

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@AloneJesusSaves If that's a different dispensation, then you can't appeal to those to establish doctrines that are supposed to be true now.

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@AloneJesusSaves Paul (who is indeed a believer) is telling his readers how he persevered and as such the crown of righteousness is in store for him.

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@gospel4grace @TrustJesusAlone @CherylSchatz Regarding Gal. 5:19-21, Paul is warning believers that by doing those things, they will not inherit the kingdom of God. Those who inherit the kingdom of God are those that go to Heaven, while those who don't are those that go to Hell (Matt. 25:34-46).

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@gospel4grace @TrustJesusAlone @CherylSchatz Death, as in spiritual death. The entire context of 1 Jn. 5 is a discussion of spiritual life. Death is being contrasted with that life (i.e., spiritual life). So, it must be spiritual death. I don't understand how this passage is supposed to connect to Ananias and Sapphira.

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@AloneJesusSaves Not at all. I trust in the grace of God. It is only by grace that one can fight the good fight, finish the race, keep the faith, and be awarded the crown of righteousness (cf. 2 Tim. 4:7-8).

[Colin C^2 Causey @TheColinCausey]

@AloneJesusSaves I don't find the proposed interpretation credible. Paul is warning believers that by doing those things, they will not inherit the kingdom of God. Those who inherit the kingdom of God are those that go to Heaven, while those who don't are those that go to Hell (Matt. 25:34-46).
