Honored to contribute an article to the latest issue of @Themelios_TGC. “Baptist Catholicity in the Ecclesiology of John Gill.”

@peterpeccavi @New_Christendom Very well said.

Or, LLMs, partly developed through University research, stole content often produced at universities to give back to students in a manner devoid of wisdom, beauty, or moral guidance but in a mode very able to atrophy the brain. (But yes, $300k is high)

@Garcia_Mark_A What do you take the function of the two participles “baptizontes” and “didaskontes” to be?

[Christopher Green @ParticularGreen]

@jonwoodyard Depends on what you mean by “substantively promoted,” I suppose. JETS has a wide readership, and an article there at the very least demonstrates that the issue is still receiving serious defenses from trained theologians, and not just online opining from armchair theologians.

@jonwoodyard JETS just published an article by Drew Smith arguing that critics of EFS/ERAS have failed to prove it is heterodox. The debate has died down, but it isn’t gone.

[Glenn Butner @glennbutner]

Here’s a new response to my dyothelite objection to EFS/ERAS. It uses Leftow’s Latin trinitarianism model to say ERAS does not require multiple wills…

@michaeljknowles @megbasham What are the chances that this is just because prefixing “Christian” to what is already the longest name on the list would make the designator too long to use on official documentation? It seems unlikely that a DoW Bureaucrat was trying to make a theological point.

@JaredCBurt But the meaning of διδάσκειν is not ambiguous, and one not permitted to teach is precluded from an office which has as one of its qualifications “able to teach.” 1 Tim. 2 is clear on the issue of female elders regardless of what we take the meaning of αὐθεντεῖν to be.

@SiliconConley @JLSteffaniak Which is work that virtually every seminary is tirelessly engaged in. Go look at some 990s when you get the chance - they’re putting everything they can into donors and grants. But those same 990s will show how short that revenue stream falls when trying to meet basic expenses.

[Christopher Green @ParticularGreen]

@SiliconConley @JLSteffaniak Well, the fact that you can’t just up and do it is the whole point. It’s a level of commitment mutually exclusive with working to support yourself full time elsewhere. You need some sort of revenue to maintain institutions capable of deep intellectual formation.

@brandon_adams This is a fantastic point.

[Brandon Adams @brandon_adams]

If we allow the New Covenant to (re)define the "promised land" of Gen 17, then we must also allow it to (re)define the "offspring" of Gen 17 (Gal 3:7, 29).

@eliblalock Congrats!

[Scott R. Swain @scottrswain]

Because it is better to give than to receive honor (see Jesus, Aristotle), God, the supremely honorable one, will forever outdo us in giving honor. Every return of honor we make to God, will be outdone by further divine benefactions, including the benefits of showing God honor.

[Christopher Green @ParticularGreen]

Carefully guarding our institutions and contributors to discourse is and always has been a good thing, and I can say this even as a hopeful who has yet to get past the "gatekeepers."

[Christopher Green @ParticularGreen]

Dr. Mathison is exactly right. The very sources we are trying to retrieve almost universally affirm that theology is a habit, formed slowly and prayerfully over time, and not the mechanistic result of access to texts.

[Christopher Green @ParticularGreen]

Re: gatekeeping - Dr. Mathison's tweet is nothing compared to the institutional gatekeeping faced and perpetuated by folks we're trying to retrieve.

[Christopher Green @ParticularGreen]

@mattmillsap Do you know what percentage of that revenue is mobile games?
