    AI--What do you think?

    If a person uses a tool, they should learn about it and know how to use it properly. Someone unfamiliar with AI might assume it was a full-service tool, it's not. As noted, AI has strengths and weaknesses. John, you mention that you use Google a lot. Google uses a form of AI in its search...

    AI--What do you think?

    Well, it's been awhile since I was a college student. I bought piles of costly books in college; I rarely opened some of them. AI might have allowed me to skim material and help me understand their usefulness. AI can help a student understand unfamiliar topics in a similar way to an...

    AI--What do you think?

    ‘Not using AI in any way’ may encourage originality but it doesn’t teach them how to use AI properly. I remember reading a book as a kid. I think it was called, ‘The Pushcart Wars’. The carts had to be made using hand tools, no power tools. As a reader you took the side of the group who used...

    AI--What do you think?

    I would guess that a large percentage of the NEWS reported on various social media sites is fake. It's rather simple to use AI programs to generate media that "proves" something that isn't true. That doesn't mean all the News that is reported is fake. It means one MUST be wary and question...

    Understanding the Bible

    Minimize distractions - having to read KJV-style English is unnecessary and can be distracting, particularly when there are so many modern language texts available. Parsing and syntax is hard enough for modern readers, why should you have to learn how they did it 400 years ago? Pen and paper...

    I've been using Logos Bible Software for decades and have accumulated quite a few volumes. The use of AI has complemented my studies. The AI summarization tools in Logos software lets me to quickly scan books that may deal with a topic I'm interested in. AI also responsibly deals with even...

    Consigned under Disobedience

    Romans 11:32 (ESV) For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all. I wonder if the phrase might be related to the Hebrew word, haram, frequently used in the book of Joshua, meaning "devoted to destruction" * Exodus 22:20 (ESV) “Whoever sacrifices to any god, other...

    Fear God?

    The fear of God is part of knowing who God is; One of the first things we learn about God in Scripture is his power over all things. He is sovereign, possessing supreme, ultimate power; That type of power demands a reverent attention, fear. When you're around something powerful, something...

    Did the Apostles have special understanding by the Holy Spirit afforded to them?

    Q1- Did the Apostles have special understanding by the Holy Spirit afforded to them? Yes, there are two passages in the Gospel of John specifically state that the Spirit would be manifest in the disciples in a way that cannot be duplicated in believers that followed them. [Jesus speaking to...

    Ice Storm

    We’re buckled down in Pennsylvania - everything is cancelled - we had church services last night. Predictions are for up to 2 feet of snow starting soon. With Ma in her kerchief and Pa in my cap, we’re all settled down for a long winter’s nap. Rob

    Septuagint

    A summary of what the OP videos say might entice me to watch but just posting a link doesn't provoke any interest. Making broad statements about how the LXX translates the Hebrew text expresses a total unfamiliarity with the issues. Rob

    The NASB: Is it really that difficult to understand?

    I wore out each earlier edition of the NASB Single column Reference Bible, blue hardback. I’m disappointed that there isn’t a similar hardback Reference Bible in the 2020 edition…they”re all leathertex editions or specialty versions. Rob

    The truth is the truth

    President Trump is using the presidency as it should be used. He's using the power he has to achieve the goals he expressed. Dictator, no! He's doing what other Presidents have done in the past, except he's doing it with a purpose. The military force he's used recently is in line with what...
