@Bruwyn02 @ZachWLambert The Apostle Paul would like a word

@johnpavlovitz Oh I’m going to Charlie Kirk even harder now

@TheParticularB @TomHicks2LCF Where did he say he subscribed to “Heiserism?”

[Joey Mazzurco @reformed_Joe]

@NWhite_GA Fair. I’m not very robust on this subject but this is an undeniably interesting consideration for further study. Thanks for posting 😎

@covapologetics Same here, but now I’ve almost entirely stopped using them because someone asked me about it on another platform, as if they’d never encountered them before AI. I’m seriously worried AI is thriving BECAUSE of illiteracy

[Joey Mazzurco @reformed_Joe]

@covapologetics It’s pretty wild that anyone could come to that conclusion. It demands that you read that verse as an incomplete thought, totally ignoring the fact that he gives 3 examples immediately after it where submission does not flow both ways

[Joey Mazzurco @reformed_Joe]

@covapologetics Going to see it tomorrow. I’m actually optimistic about it

[Joey Mazzurco @reformed_Joe]

@covapologetics Great question. We probably don’t struggle to assume pastors sin inwardly—pride, doubt, etc—but we’re not typically as readily accepting of them sinning in visible, filmable ways. Maybe we need a more honest view of sanctification that actually gets applied to our pastors, too.

@nels668 @HellexHezron @AiG Rev 7 says no one could number them, because their number was far larger than the symbolic 144,000. But their names were written in the Lamb’s book of life long before the events seen in Revelation (Rev 13:8). Again, John counts himself a partaker of the tribulation in view (1:9)

[Joey Mazzurco @reformed_Joe]

@nels668 @HellexHezron @AiG I think you misunderstand traditional teaching on this. Prior to the resurrection, the saints went to Sheol, a separate part of it than the wicked. After the resurrection, Christ took the righteous with Him in the ascension (Eph 4:8-10), and now they wait for the resurrection.

[Joey Mazzurco @reformed_Joe]

@nels668 @HellexHezron @AiG Jesus is the firstfruits of the resurrection (1 Cor. 15:20), but believers before Him were already promised a heavenly inheritance (Heb. 11:16, 39-40). Their hope was secured in Him, though fulfilled after His resurrection.

@Evidence_grl @AiG Again, the finitude of all the things that comprise the universe are the proof. It’s akin to saying a human being’s finitude is the proof of him having a parent who sourced their origin, even if you’ve never met/seen their parent. The proof IS the lack of infinitude/eternality

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower. He is omnipotent & omniscient and omnipresent, therefore, let us walk as those that have such a God.”

@ScottAniol I’m going to quote this to support the fact that I agree with this position

[Joey Mazzurco @reformed_Joe]

@DW2025X @Calvinator8000 @DeeWaynee94 @AiG Likewise! I would also encourage if that scene is unfamiliar and confusing, to read the book of 1 Samuel for educational purposes! God did warn the people that anointing that man as King would be disastrous, but He permitted it to show them the consequences of not heeding Him.
