    Rapture ... soon?

    The AIs can help tremendously by collecting popular wisdom....all the famous theologians and preachers who had written thoughts about scriptures. And that is sometimes disconcerting.....not always but sometimes. Because there have been times in history when popular wisdom were abject...

    Rapture ... soon?

    This is a reason why AI cannot exegete scripture. It's really really bad at it. God, for whatever reason loves the creative Arts. All of the poetry, the craftsmanship, and creative talents that we can create. God loves these things. Because AI cannot do it. From wood carvings...

    In Defense of OSAS – Why "Once Saved, Always Saved" Is the Heart of the Gospel

    Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Our pastor just preached an entire sermon against OSAS last week....then left town all week on a trip to the Creation Museum and Noah's Ark. Ha! He is the pastor of a SBC church which is why it's hilarious. But truly there are plenty of...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Rapture theories makes God out to be a racist.... God is the author of ALL LIFE. Not just the Jews. And the New Covenant was all about the inclusion of the Gentiles. One of its key components. And God was obviously upset with his "nation of priests"....obviously. at a guess....still is...

    Rapture ... soon?

    I need a vacation.... 2 weeks from now. I got 48 claustrophobia....but a trip inside the 48 will help. So I'm off to the apple orchards.... Drink some cider....get some hard cider...get some apples.

    Can you renounce Christianity without renouncing Christ?

    Personally, I dont see Jesus rejecting the modern conservative church.... Not a legalistic church, not a hateful isolationist church.... A conservative church....one that doesn't prohibit alcoholic beverages but does discourage them. One that still prohibits same sex marriages and adultery...

    Does following news & politics make your blood boil as it does to me?

    I was talking about watching the news.... I have friends all over Alaska from Bristol to Kodiak Island. Anchorage too. Send when they get buzzed by Russia....it's concerning. The fisherman are used to fighting the Russian fishermen....nothing new there. Losing nets and fish to Russians...

    It gets a bit difficult when Russian Jets are buzzing your friend's house.

    Does following news & politics make your blood boil as it does to me?

    The funeral/memorial service was kinda odd, touching, and unique all at the same time. Everyone discussing who they believed the man Charlie was. His wife giving a soulful verbal forgiveness to his killer. (Everyone touched deeply by her words) Trump telling how he held different views and...

    Still Thursday.... And an almost gone Thursday.... It's late at night in Israel....by this time even the party boat with the disco ball has closed up shop on Tiberius..(sea of Galillee) The hotel bars have closed.... The night time city life is over and everyone has been asleep. Sunrise...

    AI (Chatgpt) Picks Historic Premillennialism as the most accurate eschatological model

    The problem is with metaphoric and idiomatic nature of scriptures. Computers deal well with hard facts...but fuzzy ones involving these quirks of language and AI falls to pieces every time. Yep, just a tool and will advance as time goes by...but it will never be able to do this. It cant...

    Can you renounce Christianity without renouncing Christ?

    How about Old Testament people... We can make a list from them too.. People who recognized God and had faith but were totally rejected by God. Like Korah from Korah's rebellion... Aaron's sons Esau Saul Gehazi The list is rather long. Just as long as the New Testament list....even...

    Can you renounce Christianity without renouncing Christ?

    Nicolaitans Jezebel in Revelation too. Let's not forget the gnostics. They did not renounce Christ but Christ renounced them.
