@JoshuaEnsley I would say for me it depends. I may cite a hostile scholar to say “even so and so says”, but I’m going to always properly contextualize quotes. If I only say “as so and so says”, but he’s actually opposed to my main argument, I’m not being completely honest.

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@DavidWilberBlog @JoshuaEnsley Straw man. It isn’t that you have to agree with an “entire” theology or “body of work”. It’s that appealing to a quote on a passage with no care at all about what someone concludes from that passage is misleading. You keep changing the subject.

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@JoshuaEnsley @DavidWilberBlog Exactly. There are levels to it. There may be agreement on a passage but disagreement on the actual theological implications, but that’s not included unless someone forces the issue.

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@DavidWilberBlog @JoshuaEnsley Classic red herring. No one said you “took him out of context”. Read Joshua’s OP. You make citations while leaving out the actual positions of those you cite, which is misleading. All you proved is that you didn’t overtly state his position in error.

@JoshuaEnsley @DavidWilberBlog What Dr. Averbeck actually thinks about Pronomian theology

@JoshuaEnsley “But they don’t have to agree for the quote to be pertinent”. They do if you don’t provide context and just say “so-and-so says”. Mostly, that kind of quote means that they either disagree ultimately and it’s hidden or they’re another Prono-bro, not a real scholar

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@JoshuaEnsley @GodLogic_GL I’ve seen some. He often has a specific group or specific question as a topic. But he is always quick on the disconnect button when people start repeating themselves or trying to change the subject.

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@JoshuaEnsley Was it anyone prominent who called you that?

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

I’ve always appreciated Joshua for his honesty and integrity, treating me like a brother in Christ even when we strongly disagreed on Torah Observance. He has changed in mind, not in character.

Few have the moral courage to honestly reassess their beliefs like he did.

[Joshua Ensley (Grace & Gavel) @JoshuaEnsley]

Apparently I have some people who follow me and are upset that I'm no longer a practicing Pronomian. If that upsets you, please consider unfollowing me. My shift was nothing personal against pronomians, but was best for my family.

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@JoshuaEnsley True, though I would define "expired" in terms of their being binding commandments. They're still Scripture, and profitable, and even have New Covenant counterparts.

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@JoshuaEnsley @119Ministries Or the Trinitarian supporters if they aren’t.

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@119Ministries Is Jesus Yahweh?

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

This stuff supports my hypothesis that the final form AI will profess the truth of Christianity.

Midwit tries to force Grok into a corner but gets BTFO

this is absolutely fascinating

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@BrysonGray Nope. Meme is on point

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@YourCalvinist Sure a lot of commenters who want some credit for their deeds before the thrice-holy God.

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@BrysonGray @rabbriansamuel There’s “another day” (4:8 above). That day is “today”

again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
— Hebrews 4:7

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@BrysonGray @rabbriansamuel So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,
— Hebrews 4:9

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@BrysonGray @rabbriansamuel @BrysonGray is wrong twice. It’s a “sabbath rest” no contrast found in the text like he claims. Also, it’s not the 7th day Sabbath, since Joshua certainly did have that rest available.

[Andrew Schumacher @Beginningwisdom]

@michaeljknowles @conservmillen Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written,
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”Romans 9:30-33
