Twitter is the best because bros will phrase a new thing they just learned as the most important and best theological information of all time in a tweet 20 mins later

@JonMcK1647 As for Scripture, I think hermeneutical rules must never be allowed to predetermine its reference.

[David ⚓️ @davidbeadle]

@JonMcK1647 This requires that hermeneutical rules predetermine the scope of a text's meaning. I think the different senses of a text's meaning, as well as of claims in general, can emerge before the sense is defined.

“I am the Ghost of Christmas Future Imperfect Conditional” said the Spirit. “I bring news of what would have been going to happen, if you were not to have been going to change your ways.”

@rogerecoff Oops. Looks like you’re just going to have to read a book instead of misrepresenting the thing you apparently hate

[David ⚓️ @davidbeadle]

@tenshi_anna totally agree. Except I do think we all live inside the Bible (figurally)

@ProvisionistP i’m so surprised that a short form response from a robot fails to capture what’s at stake vis-a-vis Pelagianism. Sorry but you re just going to have to read a book
