By what convoluted logic would you come to such a conclusion? I dare you to try to state the logic explicitly. You will fail. That's just the problem. I don't think you are thinking. I think you're parroting stuff you heard someone else say without doing any of your own actual thinking. I...

I did not write what you said this in response too, you did! Your wrote it in post #234 So, first of all Palms 33 does not use the Greek word Logos or any word in Hebrew that means the same thing as logos. Secondly, the English term "word" does not mean nor does it in any way "capture some of...

Are you saying that Adam and Eve weren't free until after they ate of the Tree? Say self-defeating things much? By your own statement, your answer cannot be authenticated. How is it even possible for people to say such things without noticing it? Gobbledygook. Excellent observation! But...

Not only temptation but actual evil is so endemic to our human existence that I think people often blur the line between the two and think that lust and envy are merely temptations rather than actual sins.

Yeah, I agree. It's definitely an instinctive thing. Part of our fallen flesh, I'd say. Perhaps there is some utility to it in some circumstances but it seems to me that it it is our duty to fight this instinct as best we can when discussing such as issues as whether or not it makes sense to say...

There are no other superior alternatives, as far as I can see! See what I did there? - Oh! I just did it again!

I say it again, WITHOUT qualification.. No translation is more authoritative than the original language. That isn't the reason I reject the term "word" as a proper English translation of "Logos". I reject it because the term "word" does not mean, to any English speaking person, anything...

God is not physical, God is Spirit. As such, He is not light in the physical sense of the term and saying that "God is light." is a figure of speech with a range of possible meanings not the least of which is "the 'light' of understanding" as in John 1:4-5.

You do not know what you're talking about. You are implicitly assigning a moral capacity to a mindless machine. The antichrist IS NOT a robot! Okay, that's it! That all, I am finished talking about this idiotic subject with morons! I just wrote the sentence "The antichrist IS NOT a robot!"...

Lon, I literally don't know what you are talking about. I honestly have no idea what point it is you are trying to make. I very much wish I hadn't asked you that last question because it enticed you to blaspheme your Lord and Savior in one breath and then in the next breath you changed the...

Stupid wouldn't apply. And I agree. It was a challenge getting it to answer as though I had asked a different question.

Outstanding analogy! I wish I had read this before writing that last post!

Category error. A preference for vanilla is not love in the sense in which we are discussing it, it's a personal opinion and a biologically driven one at that. All things moral require choice. The degree to which volitional choice is not an ingredient, the less we are talking about anything...

No. If a hundred different people asked an AI the same question at the same time, it would give all one hundred people the same answer because it isn't actually a thinking mind that is making intelligent choices. It simply takes the impute and uses an algorithm to formulate an answer. In other...

I haven't read all the way through yet but at this moment I'm thinking of a hundred different other choices you have. How about if you chose to send neither chocolates nor flowers? Maybe pick a third item or nothing at all. No, it isn't the choosing between chocolate or flowers that has to do...

The point is that there is exactly zero evidence that AI has anything to do with any such thing as principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age or spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. It's a computer algorithm.

It seems that most of your doctrine in based on conjecture. Mediums and familiar spirits DO NOT actually exist. That's why they call them "false" gods and there is no biblical evidence that demons can possess nonliving objects like computers.

You're defeating your own argument. IF God cannot hate, which the bible says He does about a billion or so times, then He cannot love. If He cannot lie then His honesty is amoral. I'm reminded of the fact that this very amorality is the foundation of the Calvinist's trust in God - incredible...

A familiar spirit? As in a ghost or demon?

Holy cow, what a post! You've made my whole month! I mean, Merry Christmas to me! Wow! This long term reaction to things stated over a year ago is precisely what is being talked about when the bible speaks about planting seeds. We would all do ourselves a great service by consciously reminding...
