I can't see how that could possibly be debated. It's completely obvious. Incidentally, it is also not stoppable. Barring divine intervention, western civilization will succumb to pressures both from within and without. The low birth rate alone makes the society unsustainable, never mind our...

They've abandoned the spiritual/moral foundation upon which our civil society was built. History teaches us that it is not the society that reflects it's laws but the laws that reflect the society. The singular exception is when God gave human government (i.e. law) to mankind after the flood...

In principle, perhaps, but in actual practice, it wouldn't work out that way. If the government actually punished criminals the way it should, there'd be no such thing as nine year old rapists/murderers/sociopaths. It just wouldn't ever happen.

Every source you will ever find that suggests this is based on Strong's definition which reads as follows... nâcham, naw-kham'; a primitive root; properly, to sigh, i.e. breathe strongly; by implication, to be sorry, i.e. (in a favorable sense) to pity, console or (reflexively) rue; or...

Simple confirmation bias.

It's cool that I read your post this morning. I just got through listening to a bible study of Bob's on the second coming of Christ in his series on "What We Believe and Why We Believe It" this morning. Not half and hour ago. He made this exact point about how the Matthew passage that so many...

At best you're speaking out of ignorance. Bob Enyart so rigorously went through all of the available biblical material on a given subject that it was a veritable wonder to behold. I never knew is was even possible to nail down a doctrine with so much biblical weight until I found Bob Enyart's...

Schizophrenic to boot!

In case anyone is paying any attention at all the chrysostom's nonsense. This doctrine of his undermines the veracity of the scripture to such a degree that it would probably get him kicked out of the Catholic church if anyone important discovered that he was here promulgating something as...

It's too bad you haven't, in twenty eight years, learned to engage in two way discussion with people. You might have wasted a lot less time.

I ended up noticing this post this moring and read most of it before I realized what I was reading. It deserves at least some sort of response... I totally use Chat GPT all the time! I'm not the least bit ashamed to say that precisely because I DO NOT use it as my surrogate brain. I use it for...

So, I did! I reserve the right to change my mind. In this case, I hadn't actually changed my mind per se. I had taken everyone I could find off my ignore list, including you, just in case there was someone on that list who wanted to participate in the "Ask me anything" thread I started. I...

Lon's post may well be the last straw for me here. I am fully sick to death of this place. No! Not the place, the people that are here (most of them). I don't remember the last time I got an ounce of benefit from being here. Why continue? Let the dogs have it. I'm done.

I literally had to send your post through chat GPT to follow it. This is it's response... I asked... "I don't understand how something this brief can glaze my eyes over so effectively but it does. What the heck is he saying? I'd suggest 'attacking the messenger' the least effective way to...

Where you drunk when you wrote that? I reads like the sort of gibberish you get from someone at hotel bar at 1 a.m. after two too many glasses of wine. If there’s a point in here worth addressing, maybe try saying it plainly and directly. I know that you are at least occasionally capable of that.

Huh?

There is no doubt that it is programmed to be agreeable but that isn't the same thing as it being programmed to agree with you. I have first hand experience here. There's several times that GPT has told me that what I had presented was false or that an argument is weak and explained why and how...

That's my saying and is simply, "Saying it, doesn't make it so." I can't prove that you're into social media like you're into breathing but I very definitely believe that you are because of the lunatic things you say. I don't know anything about you because you never write anything worth the...

I think the definite article being present is the thing that pushes the balance over to the side of "the departure" being the correct translation. There simply isn't any other eschatological event that it could be referring to. Any other event anyone might try to point to has to do with Israel's...

I can clearly remember them saying the exact same thing about Google. GPT will tell you what you want to hear. It's not quite as intentional as social media sites but it is clearly present. That's an overstatement. If it were so "riddled" with errors, it would never have taken off the way it...
