It is patently clear you are incapable of reasoned debate. I am only replying for the sake of others that might be reading this from the sidelines.

“AI attested to it” is not a meaningful claim. LLMs are not intelligent systems. Just ask one if it is. They echo coherence, not correctness.  If AI affirmations counted as validation, then nume…[Read more]

You said in the parting gift of your last paragraph that “The Bible’s God is Triune, demonstrated not assumed”.

But demonstrated how? All you have done is to show that patterns can be extracted from a text and that symbolic triad can be (re)arranged, Nothing is demonstrated.

There is so much wrong here that I am not sure where to start. I will pick some points out. The whole piece reminds me of what Dan Dennett called a ‘deepity’. Lots of big words too so I will try not to be too much of a sesquipedalian.

King reminds me of the Progressives/Woke in their pathetic intellectualizing of their racism against Jews and in how they try to discredit state of Israel. Just give me a theist who is honest.

If I was on that flight I would start singing “Allahu Akbar” and if asked to stop,would then sue the airline for religious discrimination.

You guys have ripped King a new one. Chances he admits he is wrong?

Never.

I just read a story about members of a church musical group who sang and played jesus worship music mid-flight. Fucking morons, the crew allowed it. It’s so awesome I live in a one party, christian nationalism fueled, authoritarian country that trashes…[Read more]

The Trinity presupposes a God-concept that the Bible itself never articulates. The God presented in the Bible is a single personal agent, whereas the Trinity redefines God as a “tri-personal” being which is a category shift not made by the biblical authors.

The real beneficial power of AI is medical diagnosis, genetic medicine, battlefield management, software development, etc. It is just as useless as an apologist, priest, preacher, or rabbi when it comes to the non-existent supernatural or the nebulous field of “metaphysics” that theists love to abuse.

In simple terms, the concept of the Trinity was introduced to force monotheism upon the new religion. Without it, Christianity would be a polytheist cult. It is not mentioned in the Bible. The Trinity only survives by never being stated clearly but it fails because it asks identity to do something identity cannot do.…

@Simon – “They don’t share their entire beings, yet they share their God-nature.”

This is not Nicene Trinitarianism. The orthodoxy explicitly says that ‘Each person is fully God”. Not partially god, not a piece of God and certainly not overlapping subsets. When you say “The Venn diagram doesn’t fully overlap” you are asserting partial identit…[Read more]

I wonder what Arius who make of this version of Who by Fire (Leonard Cohen). I think Arius would be allergic to metaphysical inflation and ask Christians to stop smuggling mystery in where clarity will do. He would say that there is one ultimate source (God the Father). Creation runs largely on order, consequence, and necessity and there is no…[Read more]

Robert has failed to provide a counter-proof that could be attested and validated by AI, admitting the uniqueness of this proof. So I will go over to you, RTFF; If the Trinity does not exist – as you claim, rooted in Arianism and denying co-equal persons—then explain how a precise, formal model of it could be extracted from the…

Why do you reject what the Bible says about God and His son Jesus?

I consider it just a mythological motif, many predating Jesus. Egypt’s Osiris, Greece’s Dionysus, the Near Eastern Tammuz/Adonis, and Hinduism’s Ganesha were all resurrected as well.

You could have your work cut out for you by formulating a proof for Osiris, Dionysus or Ganesha, that is empirically and mathe…

@King Iyk –  I reject Trinitarianism, not because I am an atheist but because I have studied the Bible. The word “Trinity” does not appear anywhere in the Bible. The fully formed doctrine of ‘one God in three co-equal, co-eternal persons’ as described to me in Catholic school, is not explicitly stated in either the Old or New Testamen…[Read more]
