@dgh5391 Why? Textual? Translational? Something else?

@dgh5391 If we follow Smith about full subscription, then we have to make allowance for the prooftexts as well:
"full subscription does not require the adoption of every word of the Confession but positively believes that we are adopting every doctrine or teaching of the Confession"

One of the most Satanic chants: Allahu akbar.

@AdamTriplett Just remember who's grading 😆

[Timothy Decker @timldecker]

@dgh5391 Or if a text is not original 😜

[Timothy Decker @timldecker]

@dgh5391 As they were not original to the WCF, I'd say no. Consciencious fidelity to doctrine is not the same to a specific interpretation of a specific text.

@SpurgeonPiper You've arrived!

[Timothy Decker @timldecker]

@PastorPitman @Riddle1689 You want to moderate?

[Timothy Decker @timldecker]

I'll bite. I'm the one who challenged him (though he has blocked me on X). I responded already, but I think it was deleted.
I can't take the positive side bc I'm not a CT advocate. But if we limited it to 1 Jn 5:7, then I'm in. Tell @Riddle1689 I'm game.

[Timothy Decker @timldecker]

@emorylevine @Riddle1689 I think collegial debate would be good.

Does our confession require a printed text or indicate the need for a text critical methodology? | Timothy Decker - Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary https://t.co/Efe10YL4ua

@PeteHegseth We need a Protestant sermon beforehand to urge the condemned man to fly to Christ, at once; to remind the spectators that they, too, will one day perish; and that biblical justice is a good thing for the land.

[Timothy Decker @timldecker]

Our society has become so civil, it is now sterile.
We need less "civility", imo.

[Rep Mike Chippendale @MikeWChip]

That is barbaric, and has no place in a civil society.

@ColtonYarbro Amen. I'm finishing this one up very soon. It has been very edifying. Going to try to have the men in my church take this one up.

@L_Mace82 @andrewbdsparks BTW... I read it and would wholeheartedly agree w/ Luke and Dr Sparks. Such a profound difference with profound results.
