• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A United Kingdom-based developer has created a website that purportedly demonstrates how the Bible can be used to support two contradictory views on moral issues.

Created by developer Jon James, the "Bible Both Ways" website, which launched mid-October, gives users the chance to submit a moral or ethical question and then, according to the site's premise, generates two contradictory responses found in the pages of Scripture.

It works like any standard online search engine: type in your prompt, click the "Get Both Sides" button, and find out how, according to the site, "Scripture can be interpreted to support different perspectives on moral questions."

Another example of the Bible being written for the born again, who have the eyes to see.

You can already do it with any AI apps like Google Gemini or Chatgpt.

But I already know how you can use the Bible to support contradictory views on the same topic long before AI became popular.

You don't really need AI for this. If your eyes are open, you'll see it.

Yet another example of "garbage in, garbage out."

In other words, a text devoid of a context is a pretext for a prooftext, and this is even the case for those who are agnostic.
