erico2k2: Bro check am how many prophets in the bible get one wife ? This one wife thing is not from the bible, its from England Several. Isaac, Moses, Isaiah, etc. Let's be clear though, the Bible supports both monogamy and polygamy. |

muhmeen: Prophet Israel T. Ford and Pastor Lydia Ford, leaders of LifeWorks Church near Cleveland, Ohio, announced Shakayla Ford as Israel's second wife, framing it as God's will and citing Exodus 21:10.
Lydia herself introduced Shakayla positively to the congregation, and photos show the three posing happily together.
Israel posted on Facebook that the 'one wife only' teaching is unbiblical, while critics cite 1 Timothy 3:2 and traditional Christian emphasis on monogamy from major denominations.
Supporters reference Old Testament examples of polygyny, sparking wide online reactions from shock to defense.

Interesting15: We also explored believers like us who walked in some out-of-the-roof dimensions by the Spirit, including how Philip was teleported spectacularly right before the Ethiopian eunuch.
Now, why are we not seeing these things in today's Christianity circles? It is simply because we have reduced faith to Sunday service and rationalized away the supernatural. Rather the simple explanation for why such doesn't happen today is that such "magic" doesn't exist. No matter how irrational you get you will never be teleported anywhere just by prayer or some wuuwuu holy spirit shenanigans. The fact is modern Christians can see that these so called supernatural things are so far fetched that some have began to take these tales as allegorical. |

Christianity Etc › Re: God-fearing: A Personal Reflection On Moral Agency by LordReed(m): 11:48am On Oct 23 |
Roycemadeit: GOD-FEARING: A PERSONAL REFLECTION ON MORAL AGENCY
I have once wondered why people present being God-fearing as evidence of good character. I find the idea unconvincing because religious belief does not automatically make anyone honest, compassionate, faithful, or responsible.
I consider myself a realist. I believe in principles, learning from experience, and taking responsibility for one's decisions. When I do something and the outcome is bad, I examine what went wrong and adjust my approach. I do not need an invisible authority to explain why harmful actions have consequences.
Religious people, like everyone else, can lie, cheat, exploit others, and abuse their positions. Some attend church every Sunday and still behave dishonestly. Others occupy pulpits, preach morality, and claim to represent God while contradicting the principles they teach.
This does not mean religious people are inherently bad. Many genuinely draw inspiration from their faith and practise compassion, honesty, and generosity. My objection is to treating religious identity as proof of moral superiority.
The same problem appears in relationships. Someone says they want a God-fearing husband or wife, presumably expecting faithfulness, honesty, and responsibility. But those qualities must be established through conduct, not from religious affiliation.
I also question the tendency to outsource moral judgment to God, religious authorities, or the law. Laws are necessary, but those who make and enforce them can break them too. Some are Christians who proudly describe themselves as God-fearing. Their positions do not prevent misconduct, and their authority does not excuse it..
My concern is broader: people sometimes hide behind instructions, traditions, religious teachings, or established procedures rather than accept responsibility for their choices.
Obedience is not the same as integrity, just as God-fearingness is not the same as goodness.
A person who follows instructions without questioning their consequences can still cause harm. Saying "I was following orders" does not automatically absolve anyone of responsibility.
I would rather associate with people who think critically, understand the consequences of their actions, and accept accountability when they are wrong. Religious belief may inspire good conduct, but it cannot replace independent moral reasoning.
Ultimately, I am more interested in the principles people practise than the authorities they claim to obey. I would rather live among people who understand why they should do good than those who simply depend on external authority to tell them what is right.
To me, genuine moral maturity begins when we take responsibility for our choices. I wish this was how we brought up children, society would be a whole lot more cooperative. |
Science/Technology › Re: Elon Musk’s Predictions For The Next 10 Years (Photos) by LordReed(m): 8:00am On Oct 23 |
Great100000: Elon Musk has shared an ambitious timeline for the future of artificial intelligence, predicting that the technology could transform nearly every aspect of human work within the next decade. According to his projections, Al could surpass human intelligence as early as 2026, followed by a major shift in 2027 when artificial intelligence may become capable of handling virtually all digital work. By 2028, Musk believes Al systems could reach a point where even the most skilled human software developers would struggle to outperform them.
His predictions extend far beyond computers and into the physical world through advanced robotics. Musk has suggested that Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot could eventually perform surgical procedures better than the world's leading human surgeons by 2029. Looking further ahead, he envisions more than 100 million humanoid robots operating worldwide by 2031, with artificial intelligence eventually becoming more capable than the combined intellectual abilities of humanity.
By 2036, Musk predicts a future in which approximately 1 billion humanoid robots could be deployed across industries, potentially generating more physical labor output than the entire human workforce combined. While these timelines remain speculative and depend on major technological breakthroughs, they highlight just how dramatically Musk expects Al and robotics to reshape the global economy, employment and everyday life over the coming decade. Elon Musk the hype man. |

Mind you we'er only talking of your microscope part of the universe and the microscope part of your microscope world knowable to you, never mind those you'll never suspect that you don't know that you don't know! You show your ignorance of these subjects by not knowing that it is through instrumentation that we know of the existence of dark matter and energy. No matter how much we don't know it will never invalidate what we do know. |

QuinQ: I have always said "extremely complex" or extremely advanced will be indistinguishable... No you have not. QuinQ: Thank you very much for the video but it is extremely simplistic and therefore not factual. Like I've told you before, I have heard one of the pioneers and vanguard of AI interviewed and directly heard him say that no one understands exactly how AI works. Which is supported by the screenshots below. How does AI know to the second what time it is if it is trained only once? How is it so current about everything that is going on to the second? Also, the reference for this video is 2020, over 6 years ago, when AI people had 10 fingers and you can instantly tell if something was AI. Finally, based on ideas from this video, think of a question you will ask AI that you can trick it into getting wrong. None of what you said in this post is future tense. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Is Jesus Not Included In Academic History Books? by LordReed(m): 3:14pm On Oct 19 |
QuinQ: So what is wrong with statement below? But that's even besides thr point. The point is that we don't really know what is consciousness nor what it entails and therefore are in no position to say what might become conscious. In our view a plant is not conscious yet various plants use all sorts of tricks to discourage being eaten, flowers know how to attract butterflies, etc. Everything is energy and if things are combined or manipulated a certain way we don't know that consciousness won’t organically arise This the thing with you you stretch the meanings of words to project whatever half-baked fantasy you want to say. A flower doesn't know anything. It and the butterfly are a product of their environment, acting/reacting according to what they are. Energy is not spirit. |
