    I think routine church activies--at least as practiced in the first century--did require people practicing the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the problem today is most people cosplaying church without them.

    Communism- Socialism

    Socialism is not a form of government, it is an economic system that can be put into place by several forms of government. Communism is also not a form of government, but it requires a totalitarian government to put it into place. North Korea, for instance, has a fascist form of government and...

    Cessationism isn't biblical

    "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, 'Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.' When Herod the king heard this, he was...

    AI thinks its alive through Jesus.

    You touched upon a point even beyond human laziness: AI can pump out slop far faster than humanity can counter it.

    AI thinks its alive through Jesus.

    Not surprising. Even with regular Googling you can find huge amounts of negative posts and conversations about Paul, but comparatively little belittling Jesus...even from atheists. So, when you vilify Jesus, AI turns to all that online commentary and finds relatively little support for your...

    How Does Dismantling LBJ's Great Society Make America Great Again? (Ans. It doesn't.)

    AI thinks its alive through Jesus.

    Something you forgot to mention is that it's not drawing merely upon your own conversation with it, but also upon millions of other conversations on the same subject matter.

    Communism- Socialism

    Yep! I had a 79 Fairmont (auto trans, with my first A/C and my first cruise control). Gobs of room on both sides of that straight 6. Yes, you could do oil changes completely from the top. I was also able to adjust the transmission bands myself. And I once changed the starter in the parts...
