I'm sure Ascetic X will answer for himself, but I couldn't resist. They are close, but the methodology is quite different. The editors of the Majority text, Hodges and Farstad, edited a text based on majority readings. In other words, they chose readings that represented the most manuscripts...

Okay, I'm out of here. I teach theology at the college and seminary level, and believe in always defining terms, and teach me students that. You apparently like vagueness and ambiguity, but that doesn't work for me. God bless.

Sure. But I hold that in any discussion, it is extremely helpful to clarify terminology.

Never even heard that term before. Don't know what you mean by it.

1 Tim. 4:10, "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe." 1 John 4:14, "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world."

Thanks to all who participated for a great discussion! :Thumbsup

Here's a thought. My objections to students using AI are all based on direct usage to obtain a result which should have been gotten by the work of the student himself or herself. AI in Logos is a hidden thing, of course, hard to actually see in action. I have no objection to AI working...

"He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!" :Tongue I once heard an "expert on religion" on Japanese TV call Santa "one of the gods of the Christian religion!" So, can AI use become idolatry??? :rolleyes:

Yes. One of the tasks of college faculty is to teach critical thinking. IMO That is the type of thinking that atrophies as one comes to depend on AI. Exactly. At this point in AI history, it is unable to operate at a scholarly level in the theological arena; I don't know about other...

Very informative post. Thank you.

Oh, right. The Bible Faculty Summit was at BJU last summer. They treated us pretty well. A few places in their plant are getting run down, there, though. Their beautiful fountain is all run down and dry.

Yes, Hargis was a fundamentalist. However, you're probably thinking of BJU. My school is Baptist College of Ministry, and the admin here never gives out honorary doctorates. (But I'm considered to have a doctorate of orneriness. :Cool)

Yes he was!

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.
