@megbasham No doubt that this is what MacArthur teaches. I've heard the sermon. But I can't find Augustine or Chrysostom teaching anything like this on the Good Samaritan. You actually have any evidence for that claim?

[Steven Evans @StevenP_Evans]

@RevDaniel @megbasham It shouldn't shock anyone that she is just parroting how John MacArthur preaches this passage. It's a terrible bastardization of the text by foisting a bad view of justification by faith on the passage.

@MarkMacdonald75 @tomthie55en Why?

[Steven Evans @StevenP_Evans]

@CCalvinism According to Cals, God chose that those people would be murderous people, even though he could have made them God-fearing people. Non-cals believe they could have been God-fearing people, but chose to be murderous people. God uses their character to bring the cross.

[Steven Evans @StevenP_Evans]

@CCalvinism E.g., the cross. God knows that under the circumstances, leaders would crucify Jesus, and He brings out the conditions. But that doesn't entail that God chose that *those people* would be *the kind of people* who crucify an innocent man.

@between2worlds For instance, can you explain how "God does all/whatever that he pleases" means that he unilaterally decided everything that would happen?

[Steven Evans @StevenP_Evans]

@between2worlds None of the passages you cited, especially the first 4 titled "All things", claim that God meticulously decided everything that happens in the world.

@Katapetasma2 No worries, I'm just curious. I do consider myself a disciple. I'm intrigued by your questions.

Why do you assume that I don't follow the commands you listed above?

[Steven Evans @StevenP_Evans]

@Katapetasma2 Do you follow him?

[Steven Evans @StevenP_Evans]

@Katapetasma2 Nice, I agree.

@SoberEvolutions @btgolz @hillbillythings Said Aaron and Miriam. That went well for them!

@AJ_gilly1 @Dinocaridid @NeilShenvi @megbasham He does not say he agrees with the movement.

The problem this interpretation of his words is that you are seeing the words "black lives matter" as the slogan/movement every time he uses it.

He disconnects the phrase from the movement and states it as a fact about the world.

[Steven Evans @StevenP_Evans]

@megbasham I don't think it's a shock that the kind of book you've written is going to receive strong responses (both good and bad). It's not really the type of book that people would call it "lacking a factual basis" if they think it's false.

[Steven Evans @StevenP_Evans]

@megbasham That's not the case when a book makes moral judgements about specific people's actions and possibly errs about people's actions and words.

If a Christian book does falsely accuse, even unwittingly, calls for repentance are a response that makes sense.

@TomBuck @aheartforgod There is a huge difference between believing that there is an over-diagnosis issue and the idea that these mental illnesses "aren't real".

[Steven Evans @StevenP_Evans]

@TomBuck @aheartforgod Yes, he did sin by what he said. At the very least, he spoke rashly about a subject that he either knows next to nothing about or has refused to listen to others on.
And he did this for thousands who consider him a spiritual guide.
