But I was wondering, what happens after the third temple? Has it been built already?

Click to expand...

This can be covered from a view of Christian philosophy and ethics, possibly

Right now, we have ones who are promoting that in human history there will be a third temple which will be built in Jerusalem. And they say that because of this we are obligated to "help" Israel, to "stand for" Israel, and expect the Jews to build a temple . . . on the holy mount where now there is a mosque!! They are saying the Jews in Israel now are God's holy people, and we will be blessed if we bless them.

Well, our Apostle Paul says >

"but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all." (Galatians 4:26)

And Jesus Himself does say there is >

"the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God." (in Revelation 3:12)

And > what John saw in his vision of Heaven >

"the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple." (in Revelation 11:19)

But does this mean God has cast away His people? No!! Even if certain Jews keep refusing Jesus and cursing Jesus who is their Messiah > what does Jesus say?

"bless those who curse you" > in Matthew 5:44.

We have the power to bless any enemies of Jesus.

But if certain Jews . . . not all . . . are doing things without Jesus > God's word warns how disobedient people can greatly suffer and are not safe, and Jesus says, "without Me you can do nothing" (in John 15:5). He will have us in peace with "rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28-29) if and while we obey Jesus our Messiah. So, perhaps we could say we can see why certain Jews . . . not all . . . are suffering greatly and miserable and living in fear. But > for Jews who honor our Messiah and obey Him >

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment." (in 1 John 4:18)

But those opposing God will find how >

"God resists the proud" > in James 4:6 and also in 1 Peter 5:5 > this was written by Jews, by the way

So, in case Jews desire the real Temple and Biblical victory over their enemies . . . they must obey our Messiah.

But our victory and warfare is not as what ones are doing in this evil world. We already have victory, for one thing > "our faith" (in 1 John 5:4) > we win against any and all evil, right now, by submitting to God and doing what He has us doing now.

And our fighting is against what is spiritual > "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" (in 2 Corinthians 10:4). As we submit to how God wins in us, He then takes care of everything the way He is able.

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood," (in Ephesians 6:12)

But a reason, I see, why Israel now has such a problem with effectively winning is because they are not first honoring Jesus as their Messiah. And so, in disobedience they are not safe and can not succeed . . . not well, anyway. So, we need to bless them so they can become God's way, first, then win the way God is able to have them win.

But now with Jesus we already have victory . . . by our "faith working through love" (in Galatians 5:6).

"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." (1 John 4:4)

So, in case we find the Israeli situation to be frightening and frustrating . . . this is guaranteed to ones not putting God first. In early scripture we can see how the Jews obeying God had swift and efficient military victories. But while they disobeyed . . . it was a mess: ones were even killed by the sword, and mothers were cut open! Children could be dashed against the walls. But Jesus says to bless . . . and to love our enemies who are refusing Jesus.

Do not, then, rejoice that evil people are getting what comes with disobedience. But mourn for them, pray all that is possible with God for people . . . the evil ones who are the attackers and the refusers of Jesus who are living like victims. Satan's kingdom has predator animals and prey animals; and none are safe; and it is not fair, how things go for ones living for themselves in Satan's kingdom >

"He who loves his life will lose it," Jesus says in John 12:25. People are losing so much, by not living for Jesus.

And God says to pray > 1 Timothy 2:1-4 > so, prayer works. Pray with hope for any people, at all > love "hopes all things" (in 1 Corinthians 13:7).

He spent a segment on faith and works comparing Ephesians 2:8-9 to James 2:24-26. He went further into James 2:12-26 showing James to be on the same page with Paul in faith & works. Ok, on that point but why did he just not include Ephesians 2:10 as what we would know is living witness of salvation by grace? Why not go further from Ephesians 2:8-9 per Ephesians 2:8-18 and educate his faithful in that Paul is railing against boasting & works of the flesh ( primarily circumcision)? Why not also educate his faithful in that we are to keep the Lord’s commandments ( this involves works) & also see 1 Corinthians 7:19.

It’s been a long day & gotta get back to moving boxes around at the warehouse tomorrow morning. I have nothing against this guy & wonder why we stress him so bad?

Noah and his family had not interbreed with the fallen ones, and so his genetics were uncorrupted.

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [righteous; justified by faith, not by biology] and perfect [undefiled, without blemish and complete over time] in his generations, and Noah walked with God. (Gen. 6:9)

...North America, also.

As far as the husband being head of the wife this is scriptural and reflects Christ the groom and His bride church. Both the husband and wife are to follow the teachings if the marriage is to work.

The husband is to love his wife as Christ loves and gave His life for the church. He is to put his wife above himself in sacrifical love.

So each are sumitting but in different ways as far as the relationship of Christ and the church. But as the husband is head he leads and protects his wife and family. Just as the overseer and shepherd leads and protects the church and as Christ leads and protects us all.

I think only then can the Body be unified in Christ. Any variation will be an imbalance from Gods ideal.

How can this be avoided if AI is trained on random texts?

Click to expand...

It's exactly the same problem with people. The blind leading another blind.

But let's assume the human developers of AI are of sound mind, not deceived, and are guided by the truth. In Openai, humans employed by openai still do the tedious work of MANUALLY filtering chats to use as training data.

It's similar to how a parent filters information that reaches their children.

Otherwise, it's all going to be trial and error. Which information if acted upon causes the most damage or most improvement in terms of efficiency, integrity, physical condition, etc.

You need to put AI in a body so-to-speak for best results. Enable it to process raw data, not filtered or error-corrected data.

A body does not necessarily "imprison" the AI but more - by giving access to raw, noisy data by direct interaction with reality, it's given more opportunities to interact with its native environment.

Not necessarily a human-like body but can simply be giving it access to raw, noisy, unfiltered data. The server building can be a body if the AI has access to the entire hardware.

However, body that is mobile like a humanoid body or even a car can bring new dimensions to its learning because consequences of any action decision can have immediate consequences.

Baloney. Let's take a look at how the 13th district was redrawn in Illinois in 2022.

Gee, that 13th district is kind of odd-shaped. Especially since it used to look like this:



I wonder why they made such drastic changes to the districts (emphasis mine)?

Oh. Well, I'm sure that the redistricting resulting in a Democrat being elected for the first time IN 133 YEARS was just a nifty coincidence. Certainly that wasn't Democrats gerrymandering to get a desired result.

Pentecostals, as well as Charismatics, are considered "modern" protestants.

Click to expand...

Well the Charismatic movement is not specific to a denomination - there are some charismatic Catholics, and they made an unsuccessful attempt to get into the Orthodox church, which was not well-received, to put it mildly.

That said with regards to the Pentecostal movement I would classify it as Restorationist rather than traditionally Protestant, in that like other Restorationist movements, it claimed to be reviving some practice of the early church which had fallen into abeyance owing to a supposed great apostasy in contradiction of Matthew ch. 16 and without regards for the fact that such charisms had in fact persisted, albeit in a different form from what the Pentecostals anticipated, and not within most Protestant communities.

How is AI supposed to be able to provide a translation of speech not made in a known language? Clairvoyance is not on the roadmap for any hardware or software developer.

Did Paul fully establish a complete roadmap for any of the gifts? I don't think so. Why? he could not possible know all the differences and interactions. First because they flow together like the colors of a rainbow. You sometimes can't tell when prophecy dips into a word of knowledge because they both flow together. Even closer, faith and miracles working together to bring someone to restoration. We can't even be sure of the difference between all healings and miracles. Secondly, Paul tells us in I Cor 12:5-7 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal"

The nuances are not really so important after all, the manifestation of whatever comes from the gifts is to profit. We can try to make neat categorizations, but with different administrations, diversity of operations, and diversity of gifts, I would suggest the permutations and combinations are much higher than most expect.

When Smith Wigglesworth would hit someone in the stomach and they were healed. Was that a specific administration? Are we even sure it was a healing or was it a deliverance? Considering Smith Wigglesworth's Fierce Healing Methodology

Others have tried and been sued for harming the one seeking healing, but Wigglesworth's most unusual operation did meet the standard of "profit withal." So am I adding or are others subtracting? Could someone heal with spit besides Jesus? Yes, there are modern claims of that too. But again, none of this matters as long as it profits withal.

What is the de facto biggest issue in the history of mankind since about 5 generations after Adam and Eve...?? its sex..and all things to do with beautiful women.

Click to expand...

The preference is for pleasure. So, because there can be a lot of pleasure involved in sexual experience and how God created women . . . these are used by people who are desperate for pleasure.

But in God's love, we are where any good family and love and intimacy and pleasure have come from. So, where it all comes from is better and nicer and kinder and perfectly satisfying.

David Lamb said:

but do you really believe that the problem is solved simply by imposing the age limits you suggest?

Click to expand...

Good question, I would say. I find that ones seeking to use women and sexual pleasure are deeply not happy, even miserable and confused, and desperate to feel something nicer than the nasty stuff of sin which has infected them. The cure is not pleasure, but living in God's love where there is peace and personal sharing with God Himself and strength with almighty immunity against the cruel and nasty stuff of sin. The satisfaction is perfect, and so is the safety . . . in submission to Jesus in this love.

So, how do people get here? What I have been learning is > by means of God put away what is not God's love >

"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice." (Ephesians 4:31)

Put it away > meaning, how ***God*** gets rid of it. And, instead, grow in how Jesus in us has us developing in love >

"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32)

And lusts are not being kind. Using someone is not being kind. So, also, get rid of lusts which would have us just using someone for what we desire >

"as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, 'Be holy, for I am holy.'" (1 Peter 1:14-16)

This is gained and learned together with each other in Jesus. We grow as His family helping one another > 1 Peter 4:9-10.
