After salvation we do see where scripture tells us that grace...
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
Titus 2:12

isn't that enabling

Grace with truth is enabling

Or even grace without truth is enabling.

He gave you grace to speak truth but you never
Or reverse it he gave you grace to speak truth and you did

Thanks. I should wear them more often, though I do always use them when I’m driving.

Another site I often use is ChatGPT.com. It is a really helpful tool, though you do need to fact-check it since it can sometimes get details wrong. It works best for general or creative tasks like translating languages, summarizing long PDFs, breaking down multi-hour YouTube videos, helping refine a writeup, checking grammar, creating images, or even assisting with building and launching a website.

When it comes to looking up what specific people believe, though, ChatGPT can sometimes produce false or misattributed quotes, so I usually rely on Perplexity for that kind of research.

For example, if I want to analyze the Beza 1598 Greek text that underlies the King James Bible, I can ask ChatGPT to give me a word-for-word breakdown and explore deeper meanings of Greek words that align with the KJV. It is also great for testing or defending your beliefs. You can request an unbiased biblical analysis, such as asking whether there are more verses for or against Calvinism, or use it to find scriptural support for a particular doctrine.

may I ask if you can cite any verses that express his enabling grace from chat gpt ?
 
Or How about here

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
 
John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

King James Version (KJV)

This indicates man's Free Will: Does it not?!
