@dprmsy This resonates with Reformed types like me, but what is Paul then opposing in Galatians etc., a misunderstanding of the law, ie, law as law? Or against the continuity of the administration of gospel in the form of law?
@renewingprotest You seem to assume that if it were referring to Peter it would concede petrine supremacy, succession, universal jurisdiction, etc. It can just be Peter. This is the plain reading.
@JesusDied4UToo This is the exact line Arius takes, that begottenness implies that "there was a time when he was not." The orthodox denied this by emphasizing that the Son is eternally begotten.
@RFupdates "...they imagine that initially there was just God the Father." This is the Arian position, simply wrong that the orthodox affirmed this. Seems this misunderstanding is the stumbling block causing confusion for WLC here.
@Protestia "...they imagine that initially there was just God the Father." This is the Arian position, dead wrong that the orthodox affirmed this. Seems this misunderstanding is the stumbling block causing confusion for WLC here.
@TexasPreacher Romans 14, for example. Fine to take the position you do, but to do so as though anyone taking the other side is stubborn or ignorant is in bad faith.
