I've not detected any such bias. The bias seems to be whatever the bot thinks the user want to hear but even that bias isn't hard coded because I've had Copilot "debate" Chat GPT (Copilot basically is Chat GPT) a few times and it doesn't take long for them to come to agreement on what has always...

Aside from things like abortion pills, what sort of drugs shouldn't exist?

Exactly! Their argument is flawed from several directions. Our position isn't "sola scriptura" to being with, but more than that, we do not appose tradition either. Tradition is fine so long as the tradition doesn't contradict either divinely inspired scripture or the conclusions of sound...

Quite so!

The question makes no sense. Wisdom is righteousness. You must have misread my point. The "former" and "later" refer to what is said in the previous sentence... "It’s one thing to say God redeems suffering but it’s quite another to claim He preordained every tragedy as part of some divine...

I would never attempt to prove sola scriptura from scripture as it is neither biblical nor do I accept it as valid. As for "Eat my flesh plus unbiblical writing" and "Upon this rock", engaging those directly might make for an interesting intellectual exercise but the most straightforward...

I noticed a long time ago that Chat GPT definitely tries to tell you what it thinks you want to hear. It constantly compliments your reasoning, even when it's intentional stupidity (I've tested it). It is good at being thorough though. It would have taken me hours - maybe forever - to think of...

I've been interacting with Chat GPT to try and formulate a list of doctrines that would comprise what I've been calling "Biblical Christianity". When I use that phrase, the idea in my mind is that version of Christianity that is formulated entirely through the application of the plain/contextual...

Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

Consider the following basic Christian concepts... God exists. God is personal, living, moral, and rational. God created the world and created mankind in His image. There is objective right and wrong, rooted in God's nature. Humans have free will and moral responsibility. Sin is a personal...

No you weren't. Post #3.

Consider the following basic Christian concepts... God exists. God is personal, living, moral, and rational. God created the world and created mankind in His image. There is objective right and wrong, rooted in God's nature. Humans have free will and moral responsibility. Sin is a personal...

Yes! In "The Problem with Pain" I think, yes? I've heard a lot about that book but haven't fully read it yet, but I intend to do so soon. Lewis is exactly right to highlight that God's answer to suffering is not merely endurance, but transformation. The cross is the ultimate example. It isn't...

I intentionally didn't quote any one person. It was just a general observation.

Wow! I don't deserve that, but thank you! Remember that list of 100 books I posted a few weeks ago? The first two books were by C. S. Lewis. I simply love the way that man said things and it inspired me to put a lot more effort into paying attention to how I say things rather than just stating...

I didn't intend to imply that you thought that it was the biggest problem with Catholicism. Maybe I'm just in a weird mood but reading the dispensational arguments just struck me as being like a guy showing up at Walmart with nothing but underwear on and someone complaining that he's got too...

You guys aren't wrong about the dispensational errors that Catholics make but boy does it feel like that's small potatoes in comparison to the rest of the Roman Catholic faith. Dispensational critiques make sense when addressing Southern Baptist or Church of Christ doctrine, where the problems...

It should be noted that my post teaches a doctrine that is uniquely Pauline (Of course I know that you know this!). It is Mid-Acts Dispensational soteriology. Peter, James and John taught something quite different. So much so that if one fails to see the unique ministry of the Apostle Paul and...

He correctly points out the atheist's flawed premise but I was disappointed in his inability to directly and fully respond to the so called "problem of evil". His concession that it hasn't been answered baffled me! It prompted me to write the following.... Responding to "The Problem of Evil"

First and foremost, Christians should not begin by accepting the atheist’s framing of the so-called problem of evil. Before answering the challenge, the atheist should be pressed to define evil in the first place. If there is no God, then there is no objective standard of right and wrong...
