    Young Earth or Old?

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

    Our Moral God

    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...

    Young Earth or Old?

    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.

    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...

    Our Moral God

    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...

    Is Mr. Jordan Peterson a false prophet or ravenous wolf?

    No it isn't above your pay grade. This very sentiment of yours is itself based on a judgment of God, both of His stature and your lack thereof. You'd not be a follower of Christ if you had made the judgment that God was evil. Would you? Spend a moment to think what you've said here through...

    Pretty sure I heard that one from Bob many years ago when he did his Genesis the Fall teaching series. Love is the entire purpose of their having been created in the first place. Of course Adam loved Eve. I do not understand where the question comes from. You aren't supposing that our ability...

    So, I had to look up the word "irenic" but, yes, I got the same feeling. Seems like it was giving me the safe answer that conforms to conventional thinking rather than the hard, dispassionate, Spock like logic one might expect from a computer. Clete

    There almost has to be a definition of terms issue happening here. With what do you choose if not your mind? "Well before"? Just how long do suppose they went before sinning? There was no television to while away the hours watching and they were both in perfect physical condition and naked...
