    Will God judge conscious AIs?

    how would an AI sin, it only does what it is programmed to do. I suppose the programmer of one that turns evil might be responsible for its actions. Jesus did not die for AI.

    Hello.

    Glad you found your way back and recognized the need for Jesus in your life. I once heard a sermon that indicated every Christian's needs. The Word, Prayer, Fellowship and Praise I think were what made the list. I would look for things online and live that inspire you, address some of your...

    Hendrix at #1, as expected

    Al Di Meola did not even make the list. I saw him in concert where he played note for note with a marimba player, two mallets in each hand with near perfection in both players. He is top ten in my mind.

    What can we agree is improving in this country?

    I think Americans are relatively better off than other nations economically since covid. EU growth is much slower, China having a real estate collapse, Many African and South America nations in turmoil. USA is not perfect and due for a correction, but still blessed by God for the last years.

    China and Taiwan are destined for ‘reunification’,

    Taiwan's Election Brings Risk of Conflict With China The most recent election shows less support for Taiwan than I might have thought. 40% voted for the current President (or party) that are against unification. The poll I found showed only about 12% wanted reunification. Poll shows 48.9%...

    “Once again, the State of Florida has a First Amendment problem” - Judge rules teacher can use preferred pronouns at work despite state law

    What a willy-nilly judge. If he is convinced why not broaden the ruling to anyone? I think she has a case. I do think a private employer though has the right to dictate their own policies at the workplace. Whether a government school district can do this through policies or contractual...

    There's no Scripture that says God picks your mate..

    I would read this small pdf "On the matters of a mate." by Kenneth Hagin. It will help build your faith for a mate. On the Matter of a Mate - Rhema God desires to give you a mate more than you want one. For myself, I had many hindrances that had to be removed to open the way to marriage. You...

    Dragging US into war?

    Iran escalated the conflict by becoming involved through their proxies attacking US ships with drones etc. The USA reaction is to serve as a deterrent. If you mess around Iran then you will take some punches. Appeasement or the UN will not work. Biden is simply too weak and giving others like...

    Tongues, specifically prayer languages

    To me you are on the right track. You were baptized in the spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues. It is done by faith. Laying on of hands might have made it easier but you had faith and it happened for you. To me praying the spirit is mostly if not exclusively about tongues. If you pray in...

    Is it wrong to want more in life?

    You are right I used the word wait too loosely, He is not caught by surprise, but he does seem to still give choices. "Choose this day whom you will serve" in Joshua is one example. I guess my thoughts are more around James, where the "effective prayer of a righteous man availeth much." We lack...

    What do you know about self deliverance?

    If something seems out of place on rare occasions I practice self deliverance. There are scripted prayers and declarations such as these Prayer for Salvation / Deliverance by Pastor John Kyle If one remains unsure or a case severe it is best to seek help from someone else that does this. As...

    Trump Media to fail?

    The stock is way overvalued by all humanly metrics, but a good way to donate to Trump if one likes. If the latter is the case, you can probably get shares far cheaper, maybe even in the single digits when it goes way down.

    Can I get.yoyr thought on this .

    Rom. 14:23, And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Since you are questioning this I wonder if at a critical moment in a pool tournament or game you might have confidence issues? On the other hand the word demon has a...

    Question About MAGA

    Yes, Gingrich was practical. Loved the contract with America. Lots of other nations look like they are failing before the USA too. It will be an interesting ride.
