Sunday School 4 months, 2 weeks agoLast week I checked my crypto wallet on my cellphone. It said I had a balance of $28,151,000. I closed the app, re-opened it and I had the same balance. I immediately tried to transfer funds, thinking there must have been a “bitcoin moment”. When I got to the transfer window, the last 3 zeros were gone and I was actually down about $200. I could…[Read more]

I did not ask as I thought it might “put a hex” on my number system. Base-16 is for those who want math to constrain reality. Dracula revealed to me in a dream that if I can get the same “truth” out of 3, 9, 27, Hebrew gematria, or my car’s odometer, then I was not discovering anything. I was only free-associating. He revealed to me that numer…[Read more]

Grok didn’t “discover” or “verify” anything. It did what LLMs are very good at: producing confident, high-fluency text that mirrors the rhetorical structure it was prompted with.
LLMs are extremely good at formal cosplay
Models like Grok, GPT, Claude, etc. are trained on:
- mathematical exposition
- physics papers
- philosophy journals
- cran…

You have somewhat improved your “proof” by changing it from a raw “+” to “mod 9” but your argument still fails because the mapping from theology to numbers is arbitrary.
God = 12 and Trinity = 18 are merely chosen assignments.
“Base-10 law” is not an “immutable law of reality”. Digital-root tricks depend on base-10 representation (becau…[Read more]

“Must logically precede creation” is an assertion, not a consequence. Nothing in what you have presented logically entails pre-creation Trinitarian existence. To do that you would need to offer explicit premises with valid inference rules and then a conclusion that cannot be otherwise. All you are doing is offering a post-hoc pattern extracted fro…[Read more]

You are absolutely right that internal logical consistency ≠ empirical validity and that is exactly why this proof is stronger than any purely deductive or modal argument. The proof is not a closed logical system built on theological premises. It is empirically anchored in three independently verifiable, real-world facts. These are not a…[Read more]

Happy Christmas King Iyk:
As I reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and look at the little baby Jesus in the crib, I ask myself a very seasonal question “Did the Trinity exist while Mary was pregnant with Jesus? Let’s play a Christmassy game. Logic.
If you believe in mainstream Trinitarian doctrine, you must answer that yes, the Trinity exi…[Read more]

@King Iyk: Did the Trinity exist before the Creation of the Universe?

Sunday School 4 months, 3 weeks agoI smoked some good weed last night. I imagined an artist digging into the earth for inspiration with bare hands and scraping the hand of a philosopher digging from the opposite direction…. so I wrote a poem. I will dedicate it to Strega 🙂

Sunday School 4 months, 3 weeks ago@simon it’s not just people dying, like snuffing out a candle. It’s about leprosy, polio, and a million savage unrepairable wounds. It’s about the misery of pain, and the proximity to animal violence that pervaded in your ‘sounds great’ description.

Artificial Intelligence 4 months, 3 weeks agoI keep hearing about where AI is weak, and that’s ok. It’s often true. But many in society typically prefer to just leave it at that, ignoring that AI is at least good at: Summarizing the words and conclusions of everything published on the internet. For better, and for worse, of course, but I love delving into topics that would take ten or a…[Read more]

@Reg, The bottom line of our exchange is this: I was able to get the foremost intellectual advancement of the human race (AI) to attest to the validity of my demonstration—you were not. Simple.(Reg, it’s hard for me to resist responding here.)

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.
