Speaking of Greek, language acquisition is one area that I think would be impossible for AI to help. It simply requires great amounts of memorization from the student. Simply put, it is hard human work!

Very interesting. Thank you! Just a few thoughts while my Greek students take a quiz. The main problem I see with this is that we educators have always considered our primary task to be teaching the students critical thinking. This "fix" (or whatever it is! ;)) appears to abandon that goal. So...

The problem I see as an educator is that for a preacher to use an AI generated sermon is to abandon critical thinking. If I let AI do most of the work, am I truly studying to show myself approved unto God, rightly dividing the word of truth? Also, if the Holy Spirit is our teacher, as the...

Thanks for the input. I had heard of these two cases.

I misspoke. Apparently this man, Fernando D. Saraví, did study theology formally: Fernando Saravi - LOGOI. That doesn't mean I would consider him a goto source for eschatology, though.

Seems to me that an AI generated sermon outline would be a kind of cheating. I'm not sure how using an AI generated sermon outline would be different from borrowing another preacher's outline. It wouldn't be tailored to the needs of the congregation unless extensively edited. Many years ago I...

I've read SF novels where the hero/heroes had implanted hardware that enhances their natural abilities, powered by AI of course. Couldn't go there, myself. "I Gotta Be Me...."

Google does use it, but I'm glad to know DDG has turned it off. I don't use other search engines, so I don't know about the rest. Lawsuits for slander are developing especially against ChatGPT and the like. The problem is that hostile intent must be proven to win such cases, and AI entities are...

AI is in the process of changing our world. We are requiring our students to state at the end of their research papers that they have not used AI. At this point, AI makes many mistakes and I would not trust it to do a research paper very well anyway! It is not only error filled, it is...

If someone said "muppets knockoff" in the 60's at my high school, someone would have replied, "Yeah, let's go knock off some of them." :Biggrin There was very little in the way of Christian TV and the like.

By "we" are you saying that your position is historic premil?

Okay then, to get back to your OP, in my reading and research, the term Historic Premillennialism is a pretty broad term, including the early church fathers as well as more modern non-dispensational theologians such as Ladd and my grandfather, John R. Rice. Rice opposed dispensationalism for...

Ha! You think the '90's were weird...well they were, but I grew up in the '60's! :oops:

You have given no contextual evidence that the events of the 1000 years take place in Heaven. You are grasping at straws with your idea that the 1000 years take place in Heaven. However, I have many reasons from the immediate context that it has to take place on earth: 19:21 And the remnant...

Weird stuff!

Welcome back!

Mr. Lunt appears to have abandoned his own thread, which he started weeks ago. Is he therefore trolling?

Are you kidding? Really? "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years" (Rev. 20:6).

According to the Byzantine Textform apparatus, the UBS textual commentary by Metzger and the UBS 4th ed. apparatus, etc. there are no textual problems with this passage. Any other position is wishful thinking.

Perhaps I can post more later, but here is the basic answer. Historic premillennialism was the doctrine of the early church until Augustine, almost without exception, and that is why it is called that. In modern times it is applied to non-dispensational premil folk such as my grandfather was...
