Yeah, I was just wondering if AI could perhaps help with some of the initial work and save some time. I wasn't saying we could (or should) depend on AI to make a complete translation of the scriptures with little to no human input Perhaps it would provide a rough "first pass" from which you...

Where does an IFB evangelist go in order to find the help he needs? I have seen in this world where one feels pressured to continue to "Play the Game" and to keep the appearances that everything is OK. Many times someone feels "trapped" that this is all he knows and what is going to happen if...

I hear you and yes, we should worry about AI just taking over our world and having humans disengaging from it and feeding itself on nothing but the slop that is coming from the machine. I cannot help but think that perhaps AI is (or at least will make significant contribution towards) the...

I have to ask this: Was the text of his message 2 Sam 18:9??? IYKYK

I was just thinking of this - yes, blood is life as Leviticus says that "the life of the flesh is in the blood" but the life of the flesh is in the blood so long as it is flowing through the arteries and veins and serving its intended purpose! Blood that is being poured out, spilt, and...

I remember seeing this but hadn't had time to respond. I think the best way to summarize (at the risk of oversimplifying) is that each of these actually mean something in the same exact manner as the Lord's Supper means something to us in our current day and age. (think on that for a moment...

I recall one of the prominent "Dispies" (Scofield, I believe) insisting that "Atonement" was not a proper translation in the King James Old Testament because there was no "At-One -ment" that had yet taken place and the Hebrew word kaphar meant "to cover" meaning that sins in the Old Testament...

My attempt at humor. Sometimes you have to laugh and not take yourself so seriously! On a side note, I used to cover "Friend of the Devil" during acoustic gigs.;) There are those who are dismissive of theology saying all they need is "the Bible" but as you discuss what the Bible says, you are...

Some of this has to do with our sinful condition and our desire to either "sugar coat" things either to make things a little more bearable, to suit our own agenda, or whatever. In the case of fellow believers, we understand that the scriptures are not monolithic and that they will often speak...

Pretty much the way that I see it. May be implicit rather than explicit but the imagery and object lessons here cannot be unseen or ignored. It also fits with the rest of the narrative as you continue through the rest of Genesis as well as the other books of the law.

I'm sure there are many faithful and wonderful ladies out there who have likely forgotten more theology than I will ever know! You hardly hear from them though for this very reason! Perhaps a good number of them have been married to faithful Baptist pastors and have quietly kept them straight...

I am certain that much of this is false, manufactured outrage from the radical left who express would express equal outrage for Donald Trump if he were to say "Good morning" to you! What does this mean? That a serviceman is no longer authorized to follow these "religions" and has to pick...

The New Testament (especially the Gospel accounts) were written by eyewitnesses and by eyewitnesses of eyewitnesses and this is what makes these accounts so powerful! Paul wrote 1 Cor 15 during a time when many who were eyewitnesses of Christ's resurrection were still around and that they...

I found this Conn website which may be of interest Conn Guitars. From what I can tell, they never made their own guitars but contracted with some of the other famous manufacturers (Matsumoku, Nippon Gakki, Fuji-Gen, Etc.) Old Japanese guitars have a real "cult following" these days. Used to be...

This makes sense. Texas Bob Gray was there at this preacher's conference so this must've been where they came from. Florida Bob Gray was there too come to think about it but he seemed to be above the fray. I never interacted with Smith personally. I am speaking of what I often heard from the...

You wouldn't happen to be one of them "Hard-Shell Baptists" would you? Or perhaps you are one of those "No-Hellers?"

OK, I am glad you acknowledge that you cannot just "discard" scriptures that do not seem to fit whatever theological "bent" you may happen to subscribe yourself to! Carry on!:Cool

Spencer Smith is KJV-Only as well (and I disagree with him on many things) but he effectively illustrates the differences between his own position and those who are really "Wackadoodle" regarding this matter. On the topic of the "incorruptible seed," I would say that he was even further "out...

None of this was written down until several centuries later by Moses but I would guess many things were certainly passed down from generation to generation via "folklore" (oral tradition) or whatever. To me, it seems difficult that Moses would pull such things out of "thin air" but rather that...

There is no doubt that Cain believed in God but did such belief exemply "faith" (meaning saving faith)? The passage does not specify why Cain's sacrifice was rejected. All we can really do here is imply what it may have been based upon other passages such as Psa 51:17? This is where I would say...
