@connorwwallace9 That’s what I was thinking.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

He blocked me so I can’t respond, then prompts Grok to answer a question that implies Calvinism but which follows previous Calvinist leaning prompts in his thread, influencing Grok’s response. I asked the same exact question in a new thread and got a balanced answer from Grok

@LSJ_2000 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples Grok takes my side when asked in an unbiased manner unmanipulated.

@connorwwallace9 Hopefully they’re in order. Let me know when you read them and then I’ll delete my original post here.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 Before I do that though, here’s some more from Grok explaining his response to me (two more shots in my second post to this one)…

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 He didn’t give the same answer, read the whole thing again. Yours is clearly a Calvinist bent, mine is not. As for blocking, I cannot comment on your thread for when I do a pop up appears saying I’m blocked or can’t reply. So I figured you blocked me from commenting. No lie.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@Partisangirl Because they don’t want to get destroyed either. It’s politics.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@CherylSchatz Just that the rapture is in the wrong place.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples best arguments Calvinists have, and he gave you reasons for those arguments. Yet the Greek grammar and context still doesn’t support the Calvinists interpretation.

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples You claimed promoting the AI in certain ways is manipulation, it that’s not manipulation, it’s being direct to get a direct response. I even explained how a prompt can result in certain responses. That’s not manipulation. His response to you was based off of the …

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples faithful; you must continue believing; you must continue trusting. That’s why it’s in the active voice. God never gives faith to believe the Gospel. He helps it, but doesn’t give it. No regeneration prior to faith is found in any Scripture unless read into it.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples Read it for what it say. In the case of 1 Jn 5:1, the context and logic of the verse does not imply regeneration prior to salvation. John simply explains the evidence of being in Christ is faithfulness, righteousness, and love. Faith is always present-continuous. You must …

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples Like all analogies, people can take the too far. The point of the analogy, and John’s point, is that those currently on the train are legitimate passengers. That’s it. The analogy is not making the claim on when or how the fit a ticket, it’s that those aboard are legitimate.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples showed you a partial of the whole conversation which includes additional prompts to see what his full critiques on multiple views. In each case his full response concludes with the same thing: namely, that the verse is not arguing that regeneration proceeds faith.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples No, my prompt was that “A Calvinist claims 1 Jn 5:1 teaches regeneration proceeds faith, but it doesn’t at all. Explain why”, then followed it up immediately with a prompt requesting a neutral exegesis to show the Calvinist/other interpretations to see how Calvinists get it. I …

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples No, I said your Calvinist interpretation is the result of you misreading it. Your responses leading to my clarifications keep confirming to me that your misreading is a habit.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples I haven’t altered a thing, I’m clarifying your misunderstanding. John is essentially saying the same thing as “Everyone currently riding the train was given a ticket.” He is being descriptive of the present reality, he is not commenting on any order or chronology at all.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @RisingDisciples Here I asked Grok to explain himself and so he scanned our conversation and then clarifies. Enjoy.

[Larry Snellings @LSJ_2000]

@connorwwallace9 @steven_pena @JimWrightPastor @yesiwetmyplants @RisingDisciples This is demonstrably not true. Calvinists may believe they do this, but that’s because their mind is enslaved to the Calvinist paradigm. It’s deception.
