That a good question. I'll see if I can find something. I think it is going to be something few and far between because there is going to be conflict of interest where Fallen Angels masquerading as good angels and theophanies don't like that sort of thing except in some basic New age type...

Ken Copeland does not come across well, unless you are completely on his side in the Word of Fatih Prosperity movement. This guy can easily pull at your hearts strings when you see him on video especially talking about his former family and church friends @Jack @Anchorite. He also has a...

He is very sympathetic, seeming very kind. No doubt he has been harshly judged and treated by his Christian family and friends. All in all, I don't think I have ever seen somebody really able to win you over as him, especially if the details of the Christian Faith are not that important to...

I would say I mostly disagree with this thread, but get it if you want to talk about Jesus being the Foundation, Acts 15, saint Paul etc. But largely Gnostics like Marcion really, really agreed with the premise and that is the problem! You got severe problems if you want distance...

I am currently a care taker for my elderly father and got my needs taken care of since dad was a high ranking civil servant and his retirement plan much better than most. But dad turned 90 last month and has had various issues, and my fate came up a few days back when a controversy happened...

I have had a lot of lifelong troubles with schooling, unemployment, lack of career opportunities etc. This video has given me the best help for my personal problems along with an excellent speech/article on Failure by Christian Apologist William Lane Craig. Video: Finding The Strength To Go...

by the way to add some irony, I asked Grok to give me a detailed presentation of John of Damascus against Islam on the content of Revelation. The text itself In On Heresies (part of his larger Fount of Knowledge / Pege Gnoseos), John of Damascus (c. 675–749) ends his catalogue of heresies with...

I just have to bring up previous parallels like Hal Lindsey and other authors who kept pointing to the scary tech of their day. Back when I was a kid it was supermarket barcode scanners. From the late 1970s through the 1990s a whole string of books claimed the Mark of the Beast would be some...

Yeah, I completely anticipated that response. Notice I qualified it with "the book of Proverbs", while Raca itself is a term of derision coming from the Aramaic. derived to the act of spitting at a person with contempt. I am not doing that, but I am putting you on ignore since I don't want...

You are a "Fool" in the classic Book of Proverbs sense. All of what you said is pure conjecture, Yes, we will probably see some nefarious stuff with AI in the future, but that has been true for all tools and forms of technology that have been around good and bad. As far as the "Holy...

Revised Version Nomos (νόμος) and Entolē (ἐντολή): Lexical Norms, Overlap, and the Limits of Rigid Bifurcation Nomos (νόμος) and entolē (ἐντολή) are frequently treated as near-synonyms or selectively distinguished in ways that serve prior theological agendas. This pattern appears in classic...

lol I can say the same for folks relying on Slogan's devoid of the facts! :) As bas a rap as AI gets often deservingly, you can use trusted sources where it does not sample nonsense, public opinion but uses actual Biblical Lexicons, Theological libraries etc. I will also add, my past...

@Soyeong I have definitely seen areas where my word study can be improved. I am going to make it more detailed and will repost later.

@Soyeong on your not being impressed by Justin Martyr, not surprised. He is a Hellenic Philosopher who converted to Christianity and only learned about Judaism on the back end of things and by that time Judaism was a religion in decline, he himself got the best part in Christ. (Well, that is...

As far as your handling of the New Testament @Soyeong most of it seems like rationalizations to me. Maybe tomorrow I will blow the dust off of some of the Apologetics I have covered with Seventh Day Adventism, but I see a running thread that it looks like on the surface that you are doing in...

Well, this part at least is noteworthy. My Messianic rabbi friend actually has inverted the position of Hillel and Shammai, where he makes Shammai the good guy, he actually attributes everything to slander and rabbinic politics. Even though, it seems obvious to me that a wooden literal...

Yeah, I don't think you really get it. But here is another point that needs to be raised, that I also got from Fr. De Young. Acts 15: 19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling...

I might as well include this summary of a video from Professor Solberg of the Biblical Roots Channel. I was actually thinking of doing a Thread on it somewhere on the Board. Expanded Summary Treatment: Rob Solberg – “Why We Cannot Follow the Gospel of Jesus and the Law of Moses at the Same...

I'm finally getting at your covering the various Bible passages @Soyeong but shaking my head. 1) The Fact that the Torah does not grant eternal life (as previous mentioned) is a straight up and extremely important fact. I really wanted to cover Fr. De Young's expedition of it more, this was...

@Soyeong I did ask Grok to look for other things in the epistle that I might have missed to suggest Judaizers as the context and this is what it said. " Yes, Colossians 2:16–17 presents the festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths (along with food/drink regulations) as "a shadow of the things to...
