That community note is trash.
But if Christians thought this was “normal” the narrative would lose all significance, wouldn’t it?

Theology 101: Doctrinal or practical error isn't sanctified by being filtered through 1000 years of ecclesiastical tradition.

Believing the gospel does obligate you to live a life of faithful discipleship. That's what you're signing up for by dying with Christ. But faithful discipleship is not a condition for, or a cause of, salvation.

I'm not sure why it's so hard for people to distinguish between eternal life, and other, also very serious consequences.

It’s wild to me that so many authors continue asserting that knowledge is justified true belief. Some even acknowledge the Gettier problems, and then continue as if they don’t exist.

The Chinese Room, Gettier’s counter examples, and the self-referential incoherence of the Vienna Circle are about as open-and-shut certain as arguments can be in the history of philosophy. And yet here we are.

There's a fine line between that one friend who deliberately equivocates for a cheap joke, and pretentious movie lines.

This is probably the stupidest objection to Dispensationalism because it’s so ignorant. Ignorant of what Dispensationalism claims.

It’s actually ontologically sacred, and treating the sacred as common is depraved. Hope that helps.
It's funny how traditional Christians think there's an ontologically depraved act that becomes blessed/sanctified if you do it after a magic ritual lol

Theology 101:
Them: “The doctrine of the Trinity isn’t clearly expressed in Scripture, so it isn’t essential to the Christian faith.”
Me: “Is the unity of God clearly in Scripture?”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “Is it essential?”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “Is the deity of the Father clearly in Scripture?”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “Is it essential?”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “Is the deity of the Son clearly in Scripture.”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “Is it essential?”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “Is the deity of the Spirit clearly in Scripture?”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “Is it essential?”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “Is the fact that Father, Son, and Spirit are not the same person but are distinct clearly in Scripture?”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “Is it essential?”
Them: “Yes.”
Me: “The doctrine of the Trinity is clearly expressed in Scripture, and it is essential to the Christian faith.”

Not only does it belong in the bible, it belongs in John between 7:52 and 8:12.

Does the “pericope adulterae” passage belong in the Bible?
(John 7:53-8:11, regarding the woman caught in adultery and “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”)

"'How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your consciences from dead works to serve the living God?'
The service of the living God is a consequence, note, of a purged conscience." JND

Works are the fruit of salvation, not the root. Likewise, works are the fruit of assurance, not the root.

Theology 101: “Death is not the Bridegroom, and, though its sting be taken away, cannot be the object of our affections, though we may joy in that which is beyond it; nor is it the time of the accomplishment of our hopes, nor of Christ’s and the church’s glory.” (Darby)

This is a great example of making the category mistake of comparing non-existence to existence.
Also, it kinda reifies suffering.
