Proving my point from a different thread from earlier in the week, there are certain jurisdictions where getting an impartial jury is darn near impossible.

If we want to start living in "mob rule" environments where grand juries just start letting people off the hook for laws they don't agree with... might as well just have "Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo" or "Civil War 2: 160 and loving it" and get it over with.

This conclusion simply does not fit with the many effects Prophesied. even the details in Zechariah 14, do not describe the immediate result of a nuke explosion. Radiation sickness takes time.

Here is the list that proves the Lord will send a Coronal Mass Ejection to literally fulfil the graphic Prophesies about that terrible Day;

The following 117 Bible verses describe the literal effects of the huge Coronal Mass Ejection that the Lord will use to carry out His prophesied Day of vengeance and wrath against His enemies, the godless peoples and nations that attack the State of Israel.

Sure, if you remove context which it tends to do in favor of word choice. It cannot and does not keep context into account when it analyzes patterns. AI is not that smart. It is very surface level logic and also pulls context from the internet as answers. So it will frame an answer based off of a pool of data that could be wrong just because 1 million Catholics interpret scripture one way, when you might not. So its interpretive answer is based off of what humans conclude and it takes the most argued answer and then gives it back to you and states it as fact.

As an example, if the highest number of people agree in a trinitarian doctrine, it will say that the bible is trinitarian (If this is coming from a brand new account and it isn't influenced by your likes/dislikes which AI is. It's a RLHF model.) It's not basing its information off of scripture, its basing its answer off of a poll it conducts over the internet and what other people say. It gives the answer based on majority acceptation, and nothing else. You are giving AI FAR to much credit in its analysis capabilities and I seriously suggest you make God the leader of truth and not the answers AI gives you.

Edit: for clarification, I do believe in the trinity, but I just wanted to give an example of a topic to make a point.

I don't believe biblical pseudepigrapha exists- i believe all the internal dates are real. Pseudepigrapha does not exist is an assumption I asked it to start with. For me to know something is pseudepigrapha I would of had to of seen the autographs of whatever the text is which I never have. Apparently you have seen the autographs of every single biblical text so you know which ones were written by the person they said they were at the time they said they were, and you know that some were not. Or you have a time machine where you went back, and saw the autographs being written, and saw one of the two things mentioned above. Also you know every single redaction, editing, interpolation after the autograph was written. To know means to detect with one of the 5 senses mainly seeing. I have never seen the autographs, and don't have a time machine therefore all I have is a text that claims to be written thousands of year ago in front of me, and the only evidence for me is the internal context of the text- not the opinion of a Christian at a university that thinks themselves to be wise in their own eyes but to God their belief is foolish eg when they reject internal dates based on no evidence at all, and make up stories based on no evidence at all. So you start with the assumption that certain texts are pseudepigrapha, and I don't.

When you say scholars you are referring to a mythological group of people that are always right, and never wrong. Ask chat GPT explain the myth of "scholars say". I believe Jesus is referencing 1 Enoch, and calling it scripture. The main canon of the Israelites/Judeans was Genesis to Malachi Based on Jesus (Law Psalms Prophets quote), Josephus, and 2 Esdras but Jude clearly had 1 Enoch in his mental canon with his Enoch 7th from Adam quote. Abraham read Enoch to people in Egypt (Genesis apocryphon). Levi handed Enochs writings down to his children (one of the DSS). God never intended 1 Enoch to be in the main canon because swine laugh at it, and God does not throw pearl before swine. 1 Enoch, and other books are only for the wise so not you.

I have asked that people not demonize their political opponents, and I am asking again. Name-calling is typically because of a lack of substance to an argument. Although a bit further back than President Trump's, Stephen Miller's (a family man with three children) ancestry is one of immigration. Miller, like Trump, is concerned about the children lost under the Biden administration, concerned about the victims of horrible crimes perpetrated by unvetted and illegal immigrants allowed into our country by the Biden administration, and concerned about the damage that has been done by letting in large populations that do not care for America and wish to keep allegiance to their countries of origin.

No. The insured will not pay 100%. I know this may seem like a fairytale, but at one time, the government did not subsidie insurance companies. This was a time before Barack Obama. When people could get premium health insurance for their entire family for less than $600 per month. Now, you are lucky to find a bronze plan for $2k. Why? Because Obama created a system in which billions of dollars are directly given to insurance companies for doing absolutely nothing in return.

Luke 6:46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? 47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was [j]founded on the rock. 49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it [k]fell.

Just sat there on their cell phones and let her bleed to death! The Democratic judges had released the killer countless times on cashless bail, the Democratic mayor said his mental state needed to be taken in consideration. What about the mental condition of the Democrats who just sat there and watched the lady bleed to death? No offers of help! No Democrat came to her protection! On the video you can see the killer with blood dripping down his hands saying, "I got that white woman! I got that white woman!" And nobody rebuked him for it!

To all non-Americans... Stay away from Democratically run cities! They are all savages like the world has never seen! The latest tourist figures in regards to travel to America already hit rockbottom last summer. Who can blame them? Who would want to invite anyone here?

So if you say that you know God, but you don’t keep his commandments, lets see what the Lord had specially written for you. It says in (1John 2:3-4) (v.3) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. (v.4) he that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Then the book says in Revelation 21: 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

These are hard words coming from the word of God, I would take heed and start keeping these Commandments. But of course it's your choice.
