@The_Idol_Killer @Guitardo7 You just failed to distinguish between nature and effect. Just like you were told you did. Your lack of comprehension is not our fault. And repeating yourself doesn't make it true. You always were bad at this.

If we add something, Christ's sacrifice is not of infinite worth. Which means we could have saved ourselves. Which means the Cross was superfluous.
T Hicks: "While the orthodox Reformed divines agreed with Baxter that the believer's filial status is conditioned upon legal obedience, the orthodox view is that the believer's sonship is based not on his own obedience to the law [as Baxter affirmed], but on Christ's obedience."

I mean, this and the Rick Warren 2CV meme on back to back days? Surprised AI can decide between them.

@Just4Tweets1986 @Guitardo7 @The_Idol_Killer @_BJAllen @theo_bruv He made that up. Just like he made up having discipled millions of people and thousands of pastors. It's what he does.

One of the worst things that happened to modern culture was shifting from being savers to being borrowers. Excessive elective debt is making yourself a slave for toys.
Elective debt can prevent you from being generous. By elective, I mean leasing/buying an expensive vehicle on payments when you could buy a cheaper used vehicle instead. Or other like purchases. Elective debt may prevent you from being generous. God calls us to generosity.

@solasectora @SirThomthegood @Chad4328 Oh, that's right, Christ didn't declare Himself the Temple. Or the church--as people--His body. Guess the 1st century church was wrong not to appropriate those pretty pagan temples and meet in houses, catacombs, or fields instead.

@JLSteffaniak Pragmatism has plagued American Theology (and philosophy) since Finney. It always leads to heresy. But we can't excise it from the church, b/c it's engrained in (traditional) American business culture.

RT @JLSteffaniak: @dougponder I'm sure it would shift as the vibes do. By nature, the pragmatic element is squishy.

@jm_larue True. But he's President of Lifeway now. Which means any CSB-related products are ultimately his call. Dodgy notes have ruined more than one product.

@Moderatemuch @CovenantReform2 @Mongrel77 @TimothyDEasley Chronological Snobbery runs in more than one direction. And since the Pope has made ex Cathedra statements in the last 800yrs, your statement is falsified by your dogma.

@TheProtestantP @Ashwin_Vengayil You're trying to say human ability to repent exists but won't be chosen due to spiritual inability. I would say that Edwards tried this. It was one of his less popular ideas in the day. And is more dependant on Enlightenment philosophy than Biblical Theology to work.

@TheProtestantP @Ashwin_Vengayil I'm not missing the context since you argued yourself into the same knot 4posts later. If you're trying to rehabilitate Edward's view, this isn't an articulation of it.

@ReformedBacon ESV is CT. Though its notes allow for MT/TR. It's the opposite of the NKJV in that, b/c the NKJV is TR (debatably MT instead in 3 passages) but includes notes that allow for readers of MT or CT to follow.

I've been persuaded that more important than the "manuscript vs outline vs extemporaneous" debate is *revision count:* Instead of working until the last minute and taking a first draft into the pulpit, he should aim instead to complete his first draft earlier in the week in order to take multiple revisions into the pulpit. Whether one manuscripts or not, multiple revisions helps with memory, simplicity, clarity, and persuasiveness.

@TheProtestantP @Ashwin_Vengayil That's full Pelagianism. Even semi-Pelagianism admits God must work beforehand for repentance to be possible. No one outside the Radical Reformation (heretical) affirmed everyone can repent.
