The Making of the Perfect Martini by Guy Buffet, 2000
The Abrahamic Covenant is the title deed to the land. It is unconditional. The Mosaic Covenant is the house rules—the conditions for dwelling in the land. The New Covenant is an unconditional replacement for the Mosaic. It is like new house rules, with the power to keep them.
This is how detail and substance are rewarded in twitter dialogues. Why do I bother?

I want to talk about this. I've heard this claim a few times. What do you all think? What was the Pharisees problem with reading scripture? How was that different from the Sadducees problem? How did Jesus admonish them? How did Paul appeal to his former sect?
That’s how the Pharisees read Scripture, and they missed the whole point
Read the minor prophets with an originalist interpretation.
You can simply be non-denom evangelical. You don't have to join a team and embrace everything it believes. You can just faithfully seek to understand God's word with the help of other Christians, living or dead.
If you're a Baptist and the "Great Tradition" presuppositionalism is your starting point for Theology Proper & Christology, keep in mind that this is a different model than Geisler's Evangelical Thomism. I recommend the latter for a firm prolegomena to not get tossed by the waves
Greek scholars can still make reasoning errors, it turns out.

Then Dispensationalism is an early church doctrine. lol
Hot Take: We are probably still in the early church era.
Dispensationalism says the church is the most privileged among all the saints. We are uniquely the bride of Christ. So this is a very uninformed critique.
I think Joel Berry means well. And... Vulnerable Catholics in Gaza deserve protection. And... The problem of ME Christian anti-Semitism is real. And... We shouldn't presume all Gazan Catholics are pro-Hamas. And... Groypers are exploiting this moment for their own ends.

One time, a physicist I know dismissed the entire field of philosophy with one simple declaration, and I still love him for it. “If we can’t know, it doesn’t matter.”
Boy, good thing the church is not a state, eh?
Sola Scriptura is like handing everyone the Constitution and saying, “Just read it and follow it.” No courts. No judges. Just 330 million Supreme Courts.
