@heatfan21173488 @notdigitaldam That’s fair. Miami has the destination advantage and Bam would be a great fit. I just think Portland’s current roster fit is being underrated.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@heatfan21173488 @notdigitaldam It was an Achilles, not ACL. And the point isn’t that 36 year old Dame and Jrue carry. It’s Giannis as the engine, Dame spacing, Jrue defending, and either Shaedon or Scoot, Deni, and Toumani around them. What is Miami giving him that’s clearly better?

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@heatfan21173488 @notdigitaldam You’re making his point. Portland won 42 in the West with Dame out and an interim coach. Miami won 43 in the East. If the baseline is that close, I’m taking Giannis with Dame, Deni, Jrue and Portland’s young depth.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@blazerwagon Awful take

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@MIPRollins I don’t agree at all. If Giannis went to Portland, they’re contenders instantly. Dame and Giannis is already an elite duo, then you add Deni and Jrue as high-level two-way pieces. That’s not “going there for friends,” that’s a legit roster with enough talent to win.

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad I’ll leave it here. My claim was simple: Scripture gives no clear example of babies being baptized. You’ve shifted to broad claims about Orthodoxy, authority, and “western religions,” but never proved the specific claim. That was the debate. God bless.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad That’s not the same issue. “Stauros” still refers to the instrument of Christ’s crucifixion; the debate is its shape. Infant baptism is a doctrinal claim that babies were baptized. So again: what is the apostolic evidence that babies were baptized?

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad Those verses prove the Church is holy, Christ’s body, and God’s household. Amen. They do not say the Church is God Himself or higher than Scripture. You’re citing Scripture to make your case, then asking me to accept a conclusion Scripture never states.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad Where does Scripture say “the Church is God on earth” or “higher than Scripture”? And if you’re citing Colossians to prove baptism, then Scripture is an authority in your own argument. You can’t appeal to the Bible while telling me the Bible is beneath your Church.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad If the answer is only “the Church says so,” then you’re asserting authority, not proving the doctrine. Oral tradition existed, but that alone doesn’t prove this specific tradition came from the apostles.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad This is still avoiding the burden of proof. I’m not denying oral teaching, manuscripts, or early church history. I’m asking for apostolic evidence for one specific claim: that babies were baptized.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad My point remains simple: Scripture gives no clear example of babies being baptized. Appeals to “the Church” may show your authority structure, but they don’t answer the biblical claim. If infant baptism is apostolic, show apostolic evidence.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad The Church being the pillar of truth means it upholds God’s truth, not that every practice later claimed by a church is automatically apostolic. Recognizing Scripture doesn’t give the Church authority to override the God breathed apostolic witness.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@Seroninjo @KalaDeeDee @serenityyynoww @sola_chad I appreciate the article, but it proves my point. It argues from covenant theology, households, and tradition, not from a clear biblical example of an infant being baptized. “Households” may support your inference, but it still doesn’t show babies baptized in Scripture.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@jbo_919 God also gave me eyes, and I watched Dame pull from 30+ with defenses panicking. You can disagree, but I’m not pretending open catch-and-shoot 3s impress me more than self-created bombs.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@Seroninjo @KalaDeeDee @serenityyynoww @sola_chad That’s a strawman. I’m not saying Scripture is uncreated; I’m saying it is God-breathed and given by God to His Church. “You’re outside our tradition” doesn’t prove continuity. If infant baptism is apostolic, show it from the apostolic witness instead of assuming it.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad This is assertion, not proof. You’re assuming your church’s practices are “God-breathed,” then accusing anyone who tests them by Scripture of misunderstanding God. If a doctrine is apostolic, show it from the apostolic witness instead of declaring tradition correct.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad Core Protestant doctrine is not “worshiping a book.” It’s submitting every doctrine to the Word of God because it is God-breathed. We defend Scripture because it is God’s Word, not something to write off whenever a later tradition needs protection.

[Jaque @jaqueabee]

@KalaDeeDee @Seroninjo @serenityyynoww @sola_chad This is broad anti-Protestant rhetoric, not proof. The early church recognizing Scripture doesn’t make every later practice apostolic. Testing doctrine by God-breathed Scripture isn’t rationalism; it’s refusing to treat tradition as self-validating.
