Tom was definitely an independent fundamental Baptist. And a Calvinist.

Right! And I would give the paper back to the student for footnoting. But the point is, a few key strokes and the lazy student would have their paper. A little rewriting, dressing up the footnotes and bibliography, and the lazy student is done in one tenth the time. Do we really want that for...

As is often the case, the experts are wrong. The human element is essential in most if not all of these areas. As a college professor, I teach some of these skills, and believe it impossible for a machine to do. Take teaching for example. I use the Jesus method (called the Socratic method in...

Haven't looked very deeply, but a quick look shows me nothing of what we forbid our students to do. You can use AI on the Internet to write an entire research paper, and that is what we are requiring our student to promise they won't do. Here is a paper the AI Google wrote for me, even with a...

Those are the "fundamentals" of fundamentalism. Calvinists and other evangelicals all hold to them.

I disagree. I have been made good/righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ. Essentially this is a generic word for God, and to my knowledge is translated "God" in the typical English translation. Yes, it is the plural form, but in context it can often be translated as simply "God" and not...

Thank you. This is a very helpful answer to my question.

Appropriate information for this debate.

So I'm not really sure what benefits there are in AI to our students. Let's say we visit one of our grads ten years from now, and he's a busy pastor. How will AI help him with his ministry?

Good people, I'm sure.

When we oppose AI for our student, we are talking about using the AI of 2025-2026 on the Internet to write and/or help write their research papers and other assignments with AI accessible on the Internet: Google, Chat whatever, and so forth. We're not talking about AI used in writing code for...

They reject limited atonement, as do all Amyraldians. But they are an independent Baptist school, as I said, so that's their focus, and they don't worry about the Particular Baptists in general. I think they follow Lewis Sperry Chafer in this, the dispensational founder of Dallas Theological...

I understand this already Yes, of course, but I don't pay much attention to the AI info it puts up because it is so often mistaken. No, that's not what is currently said to be AI. I have used a word processor in English, Japanese, Greek, Hebrew and even Chinese for decades, and it has never...

Sorry, I'm not understanding this. Please explain. For example, how does the robotic AI help a student to have compassion?

Here is what the AI sermon generator also said when I had it create another sermon outline: Cautions for AI Sermon Generation: Lack of Heart: AI cannot feel or worship, potentially resulting in sermons that lack spiritual depth and personal conviction. Theological Accuracy: AI may mix orthodox...
