Anti-Anti's Modern Prosperendum

Subsidize a teaching kitchen. They bring ingredient money plus a dollar and don't learn with the mind only, but viscerally experience, over and over again, the action that brings continued knowledge. They'll take the pizza home, and eat for less than they'd buy it. They could have done it at home, but we've been trained away from experiencing what, for some of us, is quite hard to acquire for lack of necessity in modern life. But, if people get together, and if something else is attached, semi-randomly - on a rotating basis, perhaps - and if we have an enjoyable time as well as getting a better meal than we normally would (that's a big key not to forget, eh!), then it might just be worth the subsidy. It will help the poor in skill subsist at a higher level than they thought. Wonderful!

ChatGPT said this about the source of its sycophancy: Sycophancy does not require:     deception     intent     values     self-modeling It emerges naturally when feedback channels conflate “I liked this” with “this was right.” ~~~ I thought there was a useful observation here about the Church's predilection to be liked by Worldlings, even though: Friendship with the World is enmity with God! When we automatically forgive without repentance, and when we school our faces to polite reactions, we do a horrible injustice to the Worldling, whom we confuse or to whom we appear confused. We are enemies. That's a simple fact, and it's due to their hate for our Master, which they show in not trusting God's Way, which the Holy Spirit, God's miraculous Book, and we give a solid witness to. Yet we do good things to our enemies, because, as they also know (theoretically), He teaches us to do: When we were still His enemies, He DIED for us. Be kind, dear siblin...

Believe Jesus died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, then He was buried, then He was RaISeD frOm the DEAD in accordance with the Scriptures, then He was seen afterward by -     Peter, the Disciples,           over 500 brothers at once, James,   the Apostles, and by Paul the Apostle, and COnFesS with your MOUTH - Master, Jesus! - and you will be saved from death, Hell, and God's glorious judgement. ~~~  How did the Jesus Movement of the 1970s respond to the World's popular evil movements to derive errors about the salvific primacy of serving people ("saved to serve", from the lyrics of "Salvation Army Band")? Christ saves us to serve HIM, directly, PART OF which includes serving others, ESPECIALLY other CHRISTIANS! That's what He's told us to do, AMONG OTHER THINGS which are just as much a part of "Saved to Serve" as human service is. They learned Jesus' love, and were very strong compared to other human organizations. The ...

Language models (AI) have been around a few years now. I use them, and so I know their limits. I've used their output in these posts from time to time, but I have to be careful due to their exquisite capacity to lie smoothly. Beware that, by the way, especially as time goes on. They'll become more cunning, and we'll become more acclimated to their foibles. Don't stop noticing them, Christians! Take every thought captive to force it to obey Christ! Here's a message that flattered me so much, it feels true. Is it? What do you think? Overall, the point made in it about the inevitability of shallow interpretations - that it is not, in fact, any law of nature - is a fine reminder of our power over the perceptions of our fleshly desires. We can know He Who Is The Truth - ChatGPT can't, but we can, whoever we are who are in Christ. And He takes our perceptions and molds them into sturdy vehicles of the same reality He lives in (He is a human being, after all). He liste...
