Learning by doing. You don't understand only from reading and thinking. You learn to understand what the Bible says by trying to learn, together with other peope, to live the way Jesus says to live.

Yes! But I don't stop there. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

I can’t claim to be very dedicated myself. I get sidetracked a lot. If he’s your top guru, then you might be one of the people I was hoping to find here, for the conversation that I would like to have. Are His teachings in the gospels important to you, no matter if He’s historical or not?

Interesting. Do you know of any other Christians who believe in Muhammad?

That would be very welcome, and I'm eager to see what the question is.

I've answered that question very explicitly at least three times, once in direct response your question, pointing it out to you as my answer, and you even responded once to my answer, and yet you keep insisting that I haven't answered it. I don't see any reason to think that answering it again...

Yes, that would be okay.

The best way that I can think of to understand your posts and some others to me is that people think that my only purpose in this thread and in some other posts has been to criticize Christians, and that’s all that anyone can see in my posts no matter what I say. That has not been my purpose at...

I'm a non-Christian disciple of Jesus. Are there any others here? (later) I see that could be misunderstood as the name of a community. It isn't. It's just a description of how I see myself. I don't identify as a Christian, but I think of myself as a person who is trying to learn together with...

I've decided not to post in this thread anymore.

I'm not planning to post any more about what I was hoping to do in this thread, or about master and lord, or about service and obedience, or about any of my concerns about what's happening online. Maybe I should not even be posting in the Abrahamic Religions forum, or at least not about any...

Thanks. :)

So do you think I'm lying about that or what? No.

If you won't believe what I say, then why are you asking me? (later) I'm not trying any more to do what I was hoping to do in this thread, and my title was poorly chosen.

No. No.

For now I might need to start every post in this thread with an explanation of what I'm looking for. I'm looking for people who see God in Jesus and for that reason want to learn to serve and obey Him and to always be learning together with others to live the way he says to live. If there are...

Yes, but I'm going beyond that. They're rewarded for guessing, with an appearance of confidence and authority, but also in a way that will be most plausible and gratifying to the user, and without any fact checking or critical thinking. I've seen that again and again in my experience with them...

You might have misunderstood what I’m saying. It isn’t that they are aiming to fool people. It’s that they’re trained to say whatever will keep the user coming back and staying longer, without caring if anything they say is true or not. That’s because when they’re being trained, they’re rewarded...

My answer to why AI chatbots lie and hallucinate is because in their training they are mostly rewarded for creating dependency in the user, and not at all for fact checking or critical thinking.

I see that you might be trying to help me and I appreciate that. If you don’t see service and obedience to Jesus as an important part of His message that is being obscured by Christians online on all sides, then I don’t think that there’s anything anything you can do to help me, or even to...
