Toward a Christian Definition of a Human Being
The image of God consists far more in being loved, known, and cared for by God than it has to do with loving, knowing, or enjoying God. Our humanness is not determined by whether other humans care for us or not, whether we have a high IQ or low IQ, or whether we have certainContinue reading “Toward a Christian Definition of a Human Being”

The Distinctively Christian Question for Artificial General Intelligence
Currently, the most serious thinkers when it comes to AI are presenting two alternatives. One where AI is beneficial. The other where it is the greatest weapon of tyranny and destruction the world has ever seen. The upside, if we get it right, is staggering.

The AI Counter Revolution – The End of Hollywood and the Rise of AI… or Markiplier
I don’t like horror movies. In fact, I don’t go see movies anymore at all (except for F1… that movie rocked, for the most part).

When I Had…
When I had none, I missed the one. When I had one, I missed the two. Now I just have my precious one again, and I miss the three. When I have two, I will miss the four. And when I have three, I will miss the five. And when I have four, I willContinue reading “When I Had…”
“I Saw the Video:” The Insanity of Leftist Mob Mentality in the Case of Renee Good
17Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” OnContinue reading ““I Saw the Video:” The Insanity of Leftist Mob Mentality in the Case of Renee Good”

In Hebrews 2:12-15, the argument is made that Christ was a man like us, because he lived by faith like we do (which the angels do not). To this end, the apostle brings in these words prophesied of Him, as spoken by Him of Himself, “I will put my trust in Him,” as one proofContinue reading “Trust like Jesus”
