This is definitely a place where I process thoughts, I don’t do much internalisation - so this is a useful platform; nice to have others around to discuss and provoke thoughts and challenges.
Appreciate the encouragement - I’m definitely 30kg behind you on the strict press - because I’ve only ever done 80kg strict, but I’m guessing you mean closer because the momentum is there? I’ve taken your wisdom and been increasing the overhead pressing frequency, mixing it up between, seated, standing, different implements, leg drive/not etc to try and build the pressing strength all-round.
Plymouth brethren?
There’s a couple of examples I like to apply here from Acts, I’ll give the one that I remember best, I’m Acts 15 Paul argues “vehemently” against some Judeans about the necessity of circumcision. Then in Acts 16 we’re introduced to Timothy and Paul wants to take him on his mission trip, so circumcises him. Has Paul forgotten what he just argued against or, is it because he knows that Timothy being uncircumcised will hinder the message of the gospel and cause offense to the Jews?
Given Paul later writes:
It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if it might cause another believer to stumble.
And:
I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.
I’m comfortable saying that Paul is happy to lay peripheral issues aside and place unity of believers above personal views on such issues.
That’s not to say we can’t have those discussions or thoughts but too many Christian’s over the centuries have divided themselves over relatively minor theological differences, so I always start with those thoughts in mind.
The church I go to (and am very heavily involved in) happens to be Arminian, but they walk out the gospel so well, that I couldn’t see myself going anywhere else. I’ve been to churches that more closely aligned to my doctrinal view points - but they didn’t have the same missional drive, and orthodoxy without orthopraxy is meaningless.
Sorry that was a very long ramble that didn’t really relate to your comment. I guess just explaining where I start with all of this.
I like theology, I like enjoy discussing and debating with others of a different view point, I try not to be intransigent and try to bring everything back to scripture.
Sounds like a good starting point - or even an end point! When all’s said and done - we’ll find out the truth eventually and Luis de Molina will have been right along! (Kidding Molinism is just straight up wrong 
).
) Christian’s can be a bit of a nutty group overall! (Not many wise not many noble!).
