But he did reference it, knowing what he was referencing and knowing its context.
It’s a shame he didn’t use a more appropriate reference and chose to misapply that one.
Sincerely,
If you can get him to say he actually meant that Romans 8:31 is an explicit teaching of Paul about politics, then I’ll believe you. But that’ll never happen, because that’s not what he did. You took it the way you did because that’s who you are. I didn’t take that way and still don’t and likely never will. As it is, the cost of this discussion in time, money, and spiritual pain is far greater than it’s benefit to either of us, so bye.
