***And that makes it true? Saying it a hundred times? Inflation hits the Jabberwocky where once it was “If I tell you three times it is true.” Now a hundred times suffices to establish truth.***
Our friendly neighbourhood Reformed may have that in their playbook as well. Insisting that Jesus speaking in a closed room to his disciples really means speaking to the entire world via some AD 33 rebroadcasting satellite methodology is really something.
I particularly like the ‘call no man father’ play. From the crickets chirping, it seems that reminding them of the number of incidents where Paul refers to himself as Timothy’s father has caused silence. These guys think that they are hoisting Paul overhead and waving him like an anti Catholic banner; but how much do they really read him? From this incident, and so many, I suspect very little.
Cherry picked I said and every evidence supports it.
