"By the year 2030, there will be computers that can carry out the same amount of functions as an actual human brain. So, theoretically, you could download your thoughts and memories into this computer and live forever as a machine"
"I just realized I can sleep with my eyes open"
Basically, you are arguing against no one and making a lot of noise for word games.
You are criticizing people for saying the pagan gods of the Old Testament exist and then switching the argument by asking those hold this view to provide a place in the Bible which declares that the gods of the nations are equal to the uncreated God. No one who, following Heiser, speaks of the divine council or the gods of the nations does so as being equal to the uncreated Trinity.
So if I quote Deuteronomy 10:7: "For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords" what will you say? I can already answer. You will say: "See, the gods are not like God".
But this is Heiser's belief as well as the belief of anyone who holds similar opinions.
Ultimately you are embarassing yourself and discrediting your capacity for thought.
The great fool of the 21st century is clearly @kanyewest . Just finished the documentary “In Whose Name” which is brilliant. Toward the end, Ye says:
“It's one of two things is gonna happen now. Either they destroy me or I destroy it. It being the label. I'm destroying the labels. The label of crazy, the label of anti-Semite, the label of black, label of white, straight, gay, rich, poor, cool, uncool. I'm destroying the labels, all the fucking labels.”
Yes, no one has destroyed the old order like he has, not through theory but embodied action. Hopefully his soul survives the flood.
A lot of people out there seem to think they will be able to "use evil for good", and i can tell you by experience in dealing with such people that they are in fact just being used by evil for evil.
When you get taken over by evil you start to see evil as good and good as evil.
Here's the difficulty. Too many people think God wants you to change your behavior and be a good person.
But that's not it. God wants to heal you from death. The behavior changes as a result of your freedom from death.
Christ is risen!
I think i figured out why they will never make the prequel to the Matrix: "Matrix Created"
The plot would be too boring. Just a bunch of people saying "AI is just a tool" and others saying "NeuraIink will help paralyzed people"...
Then a few years later the matrix is finished.
