Humanoids and the Child of God

[vassal]

Also @PAC-fit , there is an atheist here who’s making fun of this exact thing and I haven’t responded there because I can’t tell if he’s trolling or being genuine (such are the problems of text based communication) but he is raising a point which I’ve heard before.

Why are Christians fearful of many things when you trust God?
I mean some even fear God Himself because that’s how they were taught.
But I come to God completely helpless and asking for mercy because I know that He can speak the Universe out of existence just like He spoke it into existence.
So I have no fear of the One who is all mighty and powerful because I am nothing.
Fear should not be in a Christian’s vocabulary but everyone has a different journey, I realize that too.

ELi I agree with you we should not fear but the Lord tells us to watch and be ready.

I hear you but this is not a theological teaching i subscribe to.
I find myself in the midst of a fallen world so i subscribe to :

* Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest
* If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

and other similar teachings which emphasize peace and rest in God. No fear or doubt.

well there are things we can do about it.

if you do a bit of research on the internet, you will find that these AI need a lot of power, so much so that amazon and others will construct small nuclear generators to feed them as there is not enough electricity fo feed the ""beast""

so if we use this daily we contribute to the problem, it is a bit the same with cloud storage and computing, that I always refuse to use as it uses a quite a lot of power also. add all this with electric cars and we have a problem at this time.

Wait... If the beast is starving for power, why would we not want to use all the power sucking things we could and starve the beast out?

snd if he does? you don't have to be in thread if it bothers you that much

They are free to say the sky is falling, and I am free to tell them they are full of it.

And thus will I ever do.

I called it the beast but not in biblical sense, simply they are Huge data and processing centers, people sometimes refers at these centers as beasts because of the huge space they occupy.

May I say, along with your other observations in #18, this is huge and wish I had spotted that post sooner. ‘Similar’ such as:

Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. (1Pet 5:7)​

I would venture, substantial enough to trip the subconscious of peace in some. For it does narrow it down. But how do they put it; “Talks cheap” in my opener. How about tying in one more consideration that goes beyond my original concerns over “affection”, and that of spiritual detriment? For the Prophet and Apostle did happen to put a cap on the encompassing of that “all”.

“What benefit is a carved image when its maker has carved it, Or a cast metal image, a teacher of falsehood?
For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols”.
Habakkuk 2:18 [Though outdated, is spiritually beneficial]​

“The idea that the idols do not profit, i.e. save or deliver, is often expressed; 1 Samuel 12:21; Isaiah 44:10; Jeremiah 2:8; Jeremiah 2:11; Jeremiah 16:19. Comp. Isaiah 46; Jeremiah 10. Here the “teacher” is the idol itself, not its priest or prophet as in Isaiah 9:15, because the priest or prophet only expressed the indications or intimations given by the god” - A. B. Davidson​

All discussion of idols worshiped as god aside, in this dispensation of grace and turning instead to the Apostle’s summation; "

All things are lawful to me," but not all things do profit. "
All things are lawful to me," but I will not be mastered by anything.”
(1Cor 6:12)​

By what means then is there a Habakkuk “falsehood”? If the programmers decide it’s not tweakable by the customer would result in an incremental distraction, by mere constancy. This underscores a specific distraction to His fellowship of spontaneity (Mark 12:27, Col 3:2, Eph 6:18, 1Cor 14:15). Is that any different from living with another person? Yes (Matt 18:20). My guess, sacrilegious, for we are talking about man-made companionship.
