No, I'm not. I love guns. They are the key to securing all our rights. But you are violent.

This one's from an oldish thread that I don't want to muck up anymore than I already have: This O.P. (on the same topic as the above) has so many good questions which I would expect generative chat A.I. to answer well, to at least give us all pause, I'm just going to break them up one by one...

You have a very violent mind. I love guns, but you're way more violent than me.

It would be fascinating to see what A.I. thinks about systematic theology. It wouldn't obligate anybody, it would just be interesting, like how before every Super Bowl they have "Madden" (an American football simulator video game) play the upcoming NFL championship game, to see who wins...

@john w was the best I ever saw or interacted with. He just destroyed opposition. Your link is fascinating because it captures part of what the very first generation of social media users experienced, during a brief and limited time. Who knows when that era officially ended, but it's sure...

I guess Catholics believe it started with Our Lady the Virgin Mary. idk what year that would be, but it would be no later than John chapter two. I guess Catholicism would be John 2 Dispensationalism. I guess I need to change my motto. Catholicism has zero problem with that. This is a...

I agree with all that.

Has anybody ever yet fed generative A.I. with the whole Bible and ask the A.I. what the Bible's about?

Barbarian literally destroyed the O.P. in post number two: https://theologyonline.com/threads/how-plumbing-not-vaccines-eradicated-disease.26670/

Another very old thread, a good one: One of the answers I gave in another thread applies: And worth noting that they'd be regulated at, but I can't say at here. Implied profanity or vulgarity or something like that. It's unfortunate when you're censored from saying something. You have to...

Totally agree. Otherwise Jesus committed ad hominem all the time. And that's impossible. We measure logic according to His measuring tape: Whatever we know about logic, we know Jesus Christ is not illogical; So therefore nothing He ever said or did could possibly be illogical, and if it...

That's a nice metaphor. Props. Didn't you just suggest that two-thirds of the angels were not swept away by Satan's tail, and that two-thirds of mankind will perish eternally? Isn't that the same side of the equation? I must be misunderstanding. Where's that "eek" emoji when you need it...

That's fine Clete. But what you can't show because there's no proof of it, is that there were no believers in Corinth before Paul got there, what? like 13 years after Peter pierced the hearts of those present in Palestine on Pentecost in c. A.D. 33? You can't show that, and meanwhile we can...

I think it's the bishops. I think John here is writing not as an Apostle as if he is a towering authority over everybody else, but that he's just another bishop, like how Peter wrote his epistles. He wasn't saying, "Hey, I'm Saint Peter and you're not! Now listen to me!" Peter's epistles read...

Yeah. I think that's basically by analogy the "Constitutional Originalist" postition on the matter: c. It's not open for debate, it's a matter of study and scholarship, not an opportunity to advance your ideology. If you want to advance your ideology, you're going to have to introduce...

What do you mean by this? I read the rest of your post thinking it'd clarify but it didn't. Can you talk more about this? In a sense the whole Bible is written right directly to all those of us who believe in God, and in another sense to every man, woman and child without exception. Although...

This for some reason prompted the thought that this is what this country did with the slave trade. It permitted slavery and in such an environment the natural economic forces brought about two things, consolidation and centralization of the slave trade. Where before, there were many slave...

It's here for all to see RD.

Of course it does. It comports with John 3:16 for one thing, but also with later on in the letter, 1st Corinthians 15:3, viz. "Christ died for our sins" In the same way that He is our Passover Lamb, He "died for our sins." It's the same thing. And not even Dispensationalism denies that 1st...

idk about that. Seems to me that without demons "whispering" to Eve, that she could have obeyed God and avoided that tree. Certainly the Serpent is an important character in the story's plot. I said already this is important for theology but it's just as important for theism generally. Why...
