Quick takeaways
- Social media platforms like Twitter are limited in conveying nuanced arguments, and more constructive formats such as recorded dialogues or written exchanges should be preferred for engaging in discussions.
- Theological debates should not be oversimplified or characterized as strictly Calvinist or Arminian, as this ignores the diversity within different theological traditions and hinders understanding of nuanced beliefs.
