It would only be testimonial if we were in a court room and both of them swore to tell the truth.

Not true...I can attest to many things without being in any legal proceeding and it'd be a testimonial.

Just like 6 out or 7 dentists can prefer a certain toothpaste.

I think you meant a testimony? Not testimonial.

Are they not two different ways of saying the same thing?
Granted, one is generally referred to in scripture more than the other, but still...

Quote (JessiWan @ Dec 24 2023 04:41pm)

Dude no. They are completely different things.

Quote (aj502 @ Dec 24 2023 04:42pm)

lol...Okay, I'll bite.

Explain the difference?

Quote (JessiWan @ Dec 24 2023 04:43pm)

A testimonial is a statement of recommendation or endorsement, often used in marketing or advertising, while testimony refers to a formal statement given under oath in a legal or religious setting.

Well, that's one of each's definition.
Care to expound on the other ones?

Hell, go for the adjective definition if ya want.

Anyway, my point is, I won't just take someone's words because "his grandpa told him".

Quote (aj502 @ Dec 24 2023 04:57pm)

Oh I got that.
But...His grandpa telling him, if this was the case, was a testimonial/testimony (whichever you prefer), not hearsay.

Now say if the paperboy told him his grandpa said that, it'd be hearsay.
