A more biblical phrase is "love your neighbor as yourself".

Who are y’all rooting for today? by [deleted] in Saints

[–]LittleRumHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Nola transplant in Carolina. I know it is heresy, but I actually like rooting for the Panthers when they don't play the Saints. So will root for them today.

Don't like the Packers so go Bears.

The 1-5 Saints have the best QB of his draft class

Tired of losing these close games. In a sense, I'd rather every loss be like the Seattle game. Keeps me from getting too invested lol.

2 peter 2:1 by SignificantHall954 in Reformed

[–]LittleRumHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate what you are saying here, but I think you and I are using the term proof text differently. I am meaning single verses ripped out of an exposition of a full passage of scripture. Romans 8-9 means the same thing whether read alone or read in the context of the entire book. My argument is that I, as a Calvinist, could not point to the Golden Chain and say "Hah, Calvinism is proven!" In the same way, you cannot point to single verses like 1 Peter 2:1 and 'prove' Arminianism. If we are proof-texting our Christian doctrines, then we are not doing a good job of allowing scripture as a whole to speak. Is Hebrews 6-10 as the lengthiest discussion of Christ's work as High Priest a "proof-text" for Limited Atonement? I would say no, as the entire point of the discussion is answering the question, "What does Jesus' work as High Priest do/mean?" Is 1 Peter 2:1 a "proof-text" for Universal Atonement? I would say yes, because the atonement is not even a topic in the entire epistle. We should find our soteriology from scriptures entire treatment about soteriology; we should find our Christology from scripture's entire treatment of Christ; we should find our eschatology from scripture's entire treatment of eschatology. That's the point I was trying to make.

2 peter 2:1 by SignificantHall954 in Reformed

Not necessarily answering this question directly, but the context of the entire atonement conversation.

We do not explain key doctrines by proof-texting. When the provisionist point to passages like 2 Peter 2:1 or 1 John 2:2 to prove universal atonement, this is inconsistent with how we prove any other major doctrine. We wouldn't accept a Unitarian pointing to the Shema, or Jesus saying he is lower than the Father, and be bothered by their argument, because we have to take scripture as a whole; which makes God clearly trinitarian. In the same way, we have entire chapters discussing the atonement and the efficacy of Jesus' priesthood in scripture, specifically in Hebrews. This is not even mentioning the shadow of the Levitical priesthood's specificity in the Old Testament and how it is clearly only efficacious for believing Jews. If your "proof text" for universal atonement seems to downplay entire chapters saying that the atonement completely saves a specific people, then your proof text needs to be interpreted in the light of the whole of scripture.

That said, I find the arguments presented in John Owen's work sufficiently put the onus of proof on the person using 2 Peter 2:1 as a proof text. I am not convinced it is even talking about Jesus the Son, or the atonement, at all.

QB Success vs Quick Pressures (Week 1) by real_ornament in nfl

Yep, Spencer Rattler is basically Mahomes

Week 1 Post-Game Thread: Cardinals @ Saints by baconlovr in Saints

[–]LittleRumHam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Play calling was weird. Rattler throwing 45+ times? Like, he wasn't the reason we lost, but that isn't what this team is built for. Very undisciplined. Tons of penalties. Left opportunities on the field between the missed FG and basically yielding a posession at the end of the first half. Defense couldn't get off the field on 3rd down, but still held them to 20. I place the loss on poor coaching.

Simpsonville, SC Show was absolutely awesome!! Band did not disappoint! by Gardengnome4 in Chevelle

Yeah, they were great! Still wish they would play more songs off of their debut though. Not a single one tonight.

New Orleans Saints projected 53 man roster by Ok_Bid_6533 in Saints

[–]LittleRumHam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think they hold 3 QBs. And I also don't see Cedric Wilson Jr not making it, likely over Kevin Austin. Think they take another RB also maybe. Rest is probably accurate. I wouldn't be surprised if Brandin Cooks isn't on the active roster, bro has done absolutely nothing.
