AI Friday: “Did God Perfectly Preserve Every Word of the Bible?”
I asked Artificial Intelligence this question: “Did God perfectly preserve every word of the Bible?” It answered with the following.

Zero Social Gospel in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats (Part Three)
Part One Part Two The application of coupling the important New Testament word “gospel” with “social” makes it an issue of eternal destiny. Gospel relates to salvation, so somehow “social gospel” relates to the word “salvation” at least. Does a social gospel really save though? It doesn’t. The gospel saves, but not something called […]
How Can There Be Any Sin in Sincere? Mark Ward Strikes Again
Mark Ward made a video about me, and then SharperIron linked to it with my name. Is this a case of my living rent free in Mark’s head? I don’t know. I’m fine with his letting it go. He can’t do it though. Maybe I’m bringing him more audience. His numbers go up when he […]
Baptist Popery
Oxymoron Baptist popery should be an oxymoron. I’ve heard the two terms (Baptist and Pope) put together like this, but the two together are meant as an oxymoron.

The Recent Olympic Last Supper Controversy: Worse than Weird
The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics parodied the Leonardo DaVinci painting, The Last Supper, using drag queens to represent Jesus and the twelve disciples.

The false teaching from false prophets varies, yet with the same goal of keeping their […]
Separation and the Five Levels Jesus Reveals in Revelation 2:14-16
When Jesus confronts the seven churches of Asia in Revelation 2-3, He either commends or condemns them. He gives each church its appropriate measure of both actions. Jesus condemns the church at Pergamos more than He commends it. His condemnation centers on the biblical doctrine of separation. He says concerning the church at Pergamos in […]

AI Friday: Brandenburg and Ecclesiastical Separation
Some of you reading here know I have a now three week knowledge and fascination with Artificial Intelligence. I find myself asking artificial intelligence questions at least once a week. Artificial intelligence (AI) doesn’t “get it right,” but it sometimes does. It offers conventional thinking, affected by how one asks the question. When I ask […]
