    Wow! Those images are way bigger than I thought they were! They're much smaller in the Chat GPT app!

    On the omniscience of God

    I think we have a different understanding of what "following rigid instructions" means. Don't you think there is a difference between following rigid instructions vs. predicting and generating language using statistical associations between words and concepts? It seems to me that if it were...

    A missing Link to Genesis 1:6 God said, “I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.”

    Well, that's just exactly the point I just made, isn't it? How did you not just undermine your own use of 1 Corinthians 14:33? Have I been misunderstanding your use of this argument? Have you not been basically using it as a way of saying that your position is superior because your position is...

    On the omniscience of God

    I’m no expert, but I’ve seen enough to say that AI, especially models like ChatGPT, is often underestimated. While it doesn’t “understand” language in the human sense, it processes it in a sophisticated way. These models generate responses based on patterns learned from extensive datasets rather...

    A missing Link to Genesis 1:6 God said, “I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.”

    So, I've seen you say this on more than one occasion and I don't think it as valid or as compelling as you want to pretend it to be. If your use of 1 Corinthians 14:33 was proper then it would mean that Occam's Razor wasn't merely a good lens to use when looking at a particular hypothesis but...

    On the omniscience of God

    You might not want to over simplify A.I. There's a lot going on with it that is not directly related to the actual code within a computer program. The systems involved are wildly complex beyond anything any programmer could even understand, never mind be given credit for creating. Even the...

    On the omniscience of God

    That's what I said. You said the terms are synonymous which is flatly false. They are not synonyms by any definition. Metaphysics that "do not change" was Aristotle's notion. That is not a modern understanding the term. You really should read something on the subject that isn't 2300 years old...

    On the omniscience of God

    Do you really not understand these things or are you just being a jerk or what? Don't be obtuse. I've answered your question. There is no contradiction and you know it. What are you driving at here?

    Thank you for conceding the point. You might have bothered to look up the term before making dogmatic statements about it.

    On the omniscience of God

    A bit of both, I'd say. Theology is metaphysical, but is God Himself? Jesus is a human being with a real physical body that can be perceived in normal physical ways (i.e. it can be seen, touched, etc), but talking about Jesus' physical body and the fact the He has one, isn't necessarily the...

    On the omniscience of God

    That's completely false. Ontology is a branch of metaphysics but it no more synonymous than are the terms philosophy and theology. False. Time exist as the idea that it is. It is one of the concepts the best communicates the concept of the "metaphysical". It is pure abstraction. It does not...

    Hymn Lyrics

    The Unclouded Day Author: J. K. Alwood (1885) 1 O they tell me of a home far beyond the skies, O they tell me of a home far away; O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise; O they tell me of an uncloudy day. Refrain: O the land of cloudless day, O the land of an uncloudy day. O they...

    On the omniscience of God

    It isn't that complicated. Metaphysical refers to things that do not exist ontologically. The earth exists ontologically. Time does not. The former is physical, the later is metaphysical. The physical refers to the material world and everything that can be observed, measured, and studied through...

    On the omniscience of God

    It isn't knee jerk, Lon. This isn't the first time I've seen this sort of thing. It isn't even the first time I've seen it from you. The problem you have is that the phrase you want to retranslate isn't the point in and of itself. That phrase happens to be part of a whole chapter, all of which...

    Do You Understand the Words That Are Coming Out of My Mouth!?

    Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility: An Examination of Reformed Theology's Terminology One of the central debates in Christian theology, particularly in regard to the Reformed tradition, is the relationship between God's sovereignty and human responsibility. Reformed theology, as...

    You are a lunatic and a liar who thinks he knows how to translate Hebrew better than every Hebrew scholar that has ever been employed to translate the bible into English. I actually started to post all of the various English translation that testify against you but I reminded myself not to waste...

    On the omniscience of God

    You're quazi-pantheism is unconvincing in the extreme. Not only is it heresy to start with but it ignores not only the point RD was making but what Open Theism actually teaches, not to mention what feels like countless passages of scripture. Not that you care about such things. I don't...

    On the omniscience of God

    To state it clearly, the word "sovereign" means "supreme authority" or "highest authority". From ChatGPT.... There are Hebrew and Greek words that convey the concept of sovereignty, even if the English word "sovereign" isn't directly used. These words emphasize God's ultimate authority...

    Hymn Lyrics

    I don't know about you but I listen to a lot of hymns. We used to sing them at church when I was kid and the further modern churches have gotten from singing them, the more they lost me as even an attendee, never mind an active member. I particularly enjoy watching the Bill Gaither videos. The...
