Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

[Cameron143]

Human volition of the pre-birth pre-existence kind?

Sorry doesn't make sense to me....

Right...your lack of understanding. You don't understand how God can accomplish His will through the choices of men. Read Acts 2:23 for an example.

Also, when God changes an individual's heart, that person freely chooses the love of God. Read Romans 6:17 in this regard.

possibly m, but probably they got mixed up when they where eating king Edward potatoes

Funny stuff, Bro!

You know your helping people to dishonor a valued saint of the great reformation and to speak ill of a dead valued saint in favour of AI

Are you bothered m

How old are you?
What is your education level?
Anyway, Ai is no different than any other software tool out there.
Like doing a search on Google, one can be lazy in their research or search, or they can really dig and do their homework properly.
On some topics, the key is to sift through what may be a lie or the truth.
But that does not mean you stop searching the internet or using it.
The Ais are like the new Google. You just have to check those sources.
In some cases, you have to see if some sources actually lie or are prone to doing so.

you'll only send him back to AI if you keep asking him question m.

And he will only pick the worst view

He says they are his words.

not bad for me. I sometimes go on a roll.

I honestly just made that one up on the spot,

do you self a favour and ask AI Gemini if she has a conscience.

Maybe ask her how you can grow yours, whilst your at it.

One thing that’s hard to argue against is the reliability of AI tools when it comes to helping with write-ups, creating images, and finding the information you need. For example, ChatGPT is great at analyzing a super large PDF that could be hundreds of pages long. It can read an academic research paper that would normally be hard for you to read or understand. For instance, there’s an academic paper by Mike Fernando defending the Johannine Comma (1 John 5:7 KJV reading). It’s also a rather large free PDF. Instead of spending years of my life trying to understand academic reading and go through the PDF myself, ChatGPT can help me find the information I’m looking for or explain it in a way that even a child could understand.

Don’t feel like watching that 4 hour long YouTube video but want to know what it said? Now you can. Download the transcript from YouTube with tips from ChatGPT and have it analyze the PDF transcript. Perplexity.ai is also good if you want to check sources. ChatGPT has given me some false claims in the past that didn’t pan out, but these AIs are still useful. For example, I was clueless about how to redirect my website domain to Canva.com, so I took screenshots of what to do at my domain ownership site, and ChatGPT walked me through the process step by step. On my own, this would have been way too difficult to do. There was also a time I didn’t know what size grate to get for my grill because there were too many options on Amazon for the model I had. ChatGPT told me to take a picture of the model number and guided me step by step to find the exact fit I needed and it worked great. There are many more examples I could give. It would be like trying to explain the usefulness of the internet to a person who is too old fashioned to use a computer or a smart device. They just won't understand it unless you have them experience the benefits of it. Sure, there downsides in all useful new technologies. But you take the pros and cons and you weigh them in the balance according to your needs.


Side Note:

The research I gave in this thread on Reformed Theology (a.k.a. Calvinism) was with the help of Ai.
Granted, I checked those sources in some cases.

Some Ai's are really bad.
Gemini is at the top of the list of being in my naughty list.
Grok is probably the worst, though. It has given me false citations.
Grok gave me hypothetical information instead of facts one time.
ChatGPT has been known to do the same but it is less rare to do than Grok.
I use Perplexity.ai and ChatGPT and I confirm sources.
See my previous post here to learn more about Ai's and their usefulness.

I’m glad to hear that, brother.

You might be interested to know that I defend the Johannine Comma in my free PDF available at my website: www.affectionsabove.com.

It’s on page 13 of the PDF.

May the Lord Jesus bless you greatly.

The non-Calvinist/reformed folks seem to follow what is going on in the reformed arena more so than the actual reformed people. Could it be that they secretly want to join a reformed church? If so, I can list a few for you to consider.

It is definitely an unhealthy obsession for the many who suffer from CDS. Despite it being a pathetic logical fallacy,
it is one of the main ways they attempt to fight against the Scriptures they do not like, when they are not busy
rewriting them, contradicting them, and/or outright denying them. It's all they have, because there are no verses
articulating what they believe (FW), since what they believe actually goes against what the Bible teaches of man.

 

[Bible_Highlighter]

Why do you keep putting the letter “m” repeatedly in your sentences?
Why no capitalization or proper spelling?
You know, you can easily fix that using ChatGPT.
I just don’t understand why you want others to suffer so needlessly when reading your posts.
I say this again not to wound you, but to help you become a better communicator.
Do you want people to respect you more and actually hear what you have to say?
Unfortunately, people tend to take others more seriously when they know how to type correctly. It’s just the way the world works.

Again, what is your education level?
Is English your primary language?
How old are you?

2 Thessalonians 2:10 KJV.
Please give me a word-for-word commentary from the KJV in how that works in the world of Reformed Theology.

More of your logical fallacies.

Did you not look up aphasia as suggested? Are you that unteachable??

You are not my boss, and you do not get to dictate how I choose to participate here.

You free willers are so delusional and arrogant you want to dictate my own testimony!
