From Grok: This is not historically, biblically, or linguistically accurate. There is no evidence in first-century Jewish practice, archaeology, or biblical scholarship that “sitting in Moses’ seat” was an idiom meaning “read the text aloud and shut up—no interpretation or opinions allowed.” The opposite is true. Why the claim is incorrect • Historical reality: The “seat of Moses” (or “chair of Moses”) referred to a position of teaching authority in synagogues. The person sitting there read the Torah portion and then expounded on it—explaining its meaning and giving practical, behavioral applications (halakha) for daily life. This is exactly why Jesus says in Matthew 23:3, “do whatever they tell you” (i.e., follow their instructional rulings), while immediately criticizing their hypocrisy (“but do not do what they do”). • Archaeological confirmation: Stone “Seat of Moses” chairs have been found in ancient synagogues (e.g., Chorazin). They were for the teacher/expounder, not a silent Scripture reader. • Scholarly consensus across sources: Commentaries, historians, and even Jewish-Christian dialogue consistently describe it as the platform for authoritative teaching and application of the Law—not mere recitation. Jesus is affirming the office’s role in transmitting Mosaic instruction while rejecting the teachers’ personal behavior and burdensome extras. The post’s “just read the text, no interpretation” idea has no basis in any ancient source. It is a modern invention that flattens a rich first-century Jewish teaching practice into a caricature. Where does this misinformation come from? It appears to originate in certain online Christian (or Christian-adjacent) echo chambers engaged in heated debates about “Was Jesus Jewish?” or “Did Jesus reject the Talmud/Oral Torah?” These discussions often aim to portray Jesus as maximally “anti-Jewish” in order to: • Distance him from later rabbinic Judaism, or • Argue that Christians should have zero regard for Jewish interpretive traditions. You see versions of this in: • Some Hebraic-roots or Torah-observant groups that pit “written Torah only” against “Pharisaic/Rabbinic additions.” • Supersessionist or traditionalist Catholic/Protestant corners (the poster self-identifies as “Katholiek”) that read Matthew 23 through a strong anti-Pharisaic lens and stretch it into a blanket rejection of Jewish opinion. • Viral X/Twitter threads and meme-style theology where people improvise “idioms” to fit a desired narrative (here, turning Jesus’ nuanced critique into “don’t trust anything Jews say about the Old Testament”). No mainstream biblical scholar, historian, or even the variant Hebrew Matthew texts (like Shem Tob’s version) support the “no interpretation allowed” rule the post invents. It’s a motivated misreading that collapses the very real tension Jesus highlights—respect the teaching office, reject the hypocrisy—into something simpler and more polemical. In short: the post gets the idiom, the history, and Jesus’ actual point exactly backward. The real Matthew 23:2–3 upholds the Pharisees’ role as Torah teachers while calling out their failure to live it. That’s a far more interesting (and textually faithful) tension than the tweet’s invented “just read, don’t trust their opinions” line.

@dirtypols @KobeissiLetter Because only Iranian ports are being blocked. The rest of Hormuz is not.

@thatsKAIZEN Kaizen for president

@iruletheworldmo how can I get this?

@JoshMandell6 @727_hugo Bro how on earth do you know this stuff.

@CredibleCrypto But if it comes back down that far, doesn't that mean it's no longer an impulsive move?

@JoshMandell6 @RyanJamesEgan7 @DerekMorgan2020 @StevenYamada1 @JoeCarlasare Please see my DM on this.

@CredibleCrypto @resupply @CurveFinance @resupplyFi The US house and senate are poised to pass a bill that would prohibit yield on stablecoins. How do you anticipate this affecting the value of CRV?

@BrianRoemmele @grok why is this astounding

@DepaolaSal @APompliano I see 70b in the Moonshot app 🤷

@BoostBizOnline @BCBacker @First_Ledger You are looking at the XRP chain. There are fake Trump coins there, but the real Trump meme coin is on Solana not XRP

@tifftastic369 What is this from?

@iontecs_pemf @TheQNewsPatriot How did Panama create election interference?

Hey Cred. Based on your teachings plus the benefit of hindsight, it looks like we had a pretty clear 5 wave impulsive move from 66.4k to 99.5k. If that’s correct, then the next move would likely be a 3 legged corrective move to the downside. Would you say we are still completing the first wave of that, or would you look at shorter term time frames and see it as 3 waves already? I’d like to figure out how to trade it if it’s still the first wave. For example, can we take measurements to predict approximately where the third wave might end, or do you just look for sweeps of the lows before positioning for a continuation of the bull move?

@digijordan Get me ready for that conversation. What real evidence is there for your theory?

@In2ThinAir I love when people ask this question when there’s been a massive downturn. So much smarter to buy low. Most people are asking this when prices are at all time highs.

@In2ThinAir Coinbase wallet is a go-to for beginners. While it has the coinbase name, it is in fact a self-hosted private wallet. And easy to use from the Coinbase exchange. But definitely highly recommend cold storage. Too many smart scammers and hackers out there.

@SpencerKSchiff @RokoMijic Not even a little bit of Bitcoin? AI money!

@CredibleCrypto Can you give more guidance on how you establish these resistance zones?
