There are multiple books in the Bible praising intelligence, wisdom, and knowledge as gifts from God.

LLMs are just statistical models, all they know is how likely a text fragment is to appear near another text fragment.

If the wings are limbs, shouldn’t insects be considered to have 8-10?

Democrats are also a neoliberal right-wing party (if a little more moderate), why would they be opposition?

It has it’s own problems, but many government structures in Brazil were designed to prevent a return to dictatorship after democracy was “restored”.

Didn’t he like dictators?

How is Christianity dominant if an Antichrist is president?

trump is an Antichrist, please target him

Jesus explicitly said He was not making any rules obsolete.
What He did was tell and show that OT laws are supposed to be read from the perspective that they are meant to help and protect the weak and “lesser”.
And the OT is a history of God’s love for humanity as much as the NT.

Hello from Mastodon.

All of these “talk” ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.

Yes, I agree with you.

I just wanted to add that at the time “socialism” was any answer to the question “how to structure society so its members benefit the most?”

Nazism was such an answer, and it was “eliminate all who don’t contribute”.

Of course the concept of socialism later evolved and got more strict so that Nazism doesn’t count anymore.

Yes, the theory comes from the superficial observation that the actions of the nominal extremes look very similar. And when your head is being crushed by the boot of authoritarianism you don’t care if it is the right foot, or the left foot wearing it.

At one time there were many concepts of what Socialism is, and at the time nazism was A socialism, of course completely opposite of the concepts that survived.

That is the base of the horseshoe theory.

Yes, it says it’s forever. The Catholic church does have a doctrine of purgatory, but it’s for the flawed faithful.

But it also treats it akin to a spouse that has been continuously cheated on; all his gifts twisted, broken, and trashed; finally leaving the house.

Or self-inflicted by humanity, God going: “do you really, really want to stay apart from the source of life and all good? Then have it your way… ☹️”

Why? We have the gift of life, even as we choose death, we have good things even as we choose to turn away from good, that is a message of pure love, why is it gross?

These are 5000 years old stories written down 3000 years ago, some study, of course study of context is necessary.

I agree with your point on homosexuality, it also requires study, that’s a reason today’s Christianity is so sick and away from the message of love from the Bible.

You read wrong what I wrote, every moment that is NOT death and suffering is a gift from God.

Yes, languages and words and their meanings change with time, both words were once the same.

Job should be read from the perspective that humanity, by choosing to turn away from the source of all life and good, has only death and suffering as its just existence. Every moment that anyone has that is not death and suffering is a gracious gift of love from God. Job even acknowledges that all he had was not his, just loaned from God.

Satan in this context is not “the most evil entity that has ever existed”, but The Accuser, his objective in the story is to convince God that humans don’t deserve any of the good things He gifts.
God’s point is that He will continue giving us life and good things even as we don’t deserve it.
