From a t-shirt.
Let’s eat Grandma.
Let’s eat, Grandma.
The first instance proposes cannibalism (they are gonna eat grandma).
The second refers to sharing a meal WITH the dear, precious and dearly beloved grandma.
Punctuation saves lives.

That’s great for your Grandma or not. Lol!
However, in
Romans 9, it doesn’t and didn’t change what Paul was telling the Jews about who God was/is.
It was very simple and matter of fact. He was talking and writing to people who weren’t going to be hung up on a comma, which as Esaias also said - It doesn’t change the meaning.
I don’t know what else to say.
It was so beautifully written and explained, and now it is getting sullied up over a comma. The debate is coming across as crafting a Trinitarian narrative and subtly trying to cause a reader to become confused. All the while it is power, beauty and very simple.
