I am a SHAMELESS GRAPHIC DESIGNER who is available for hire.

[Ufot Ubon @UfotUbon]

You cannot be forming cool kid or sophisticated and mysterious when you’re broke as a designer; you should not build in isolation; you cannot be an introvert.

Be shameless with networking. Let people know you are available for hiring.

IS Grok REALLY, REALLY an AI chatbot?

Stuck in traffic this morning and trying to distract myself from the prospect of missing my flight, I decided to grok a bit, just to confirm if I am the only mad one or if Grok shares in some of my alleged insanity.

"This guy you want to marry, is he really, really born again?" Whenever I reference such popular statements in my teaching, it is usually to say how theologically inaccurate it is, even though the intent may be noble. I would then say that the born again experience itself cannot be improved, therefore there are no degrees of born-againness, meaning that you are either born again or not born again. I would then clarify that what such statements actually intend to query is transformation and not regeneration. Anyone who has not heard me teach this hasn't heard me teach on holiness or transformation, at all.

So, seeing that there has lately been some noise about a clip of me saying there is a gradient in holiness or something of that hue (truth is, I haven't watched that clip, but I know what I have said – here & there – in that regard), I decided to disturb Grok this morning.

First I asked Grok to theologically differentiate between Righteousness & Holiness. It came back with the typical, orthodox response associating Righteousness with Justification (imputed & positional) and linking holiness with Sanctification (practical & progressive).

I followed up with the question in the screenshot. I asked:
"Theologically therefore, can a Christian be more holy than another, even though they are both equally righteous?"
First line of Grok's response, was:
"Yes, theologically, one Christian can be more (progressively) holy than another, even while both are equally righteous in the sight of God."

The last paragraph of Grok's response went:
"In short: Equal in Christ’s righteousness and positional holiness—yet capable of real differences in progressive holiness here and now. This is the consistent biblical and theological framework across historic Protestant, Reformed, and evangelical teaching."

I chucked to see Grok appealling to "historic Protestant, Reformed, and evangelical teaching." As if to say, "if you think I am insane in saying theologically, a Christian can be said to be more holy (progressively) than another, I got my view from historic Protestant, Reformed, and evangelical teaching."

WHERE THE CRITICS ARE RIGHT, but...
Granted, a theological case can be made for the view that in a sense a believer can be more holy than another, yet, it is another matter how believers express it.
Some believers pray in tongues more than others, yet, it isn't Christlike to boast to a whole church: "I thank my God that I pray in tongues MORE THAN you ALL..." Therefore, if you wake-up and begin to flaunt your supposed superior holiness in the faces of believers, it may actually be the evidence that you are not so holy after all, because flaunting in this case is synonym for boasting. Boasting, in context is not one of the evidences of holiness. Here then, the critics would be right, if there was no context to the clip other than just an attempt to say I am more holy than some believers (real or imagined).
But there is a context. It is that everytime some believer comes up to charge the church to holy living, some other believers (trying to discredit or discourage the preacher), would say things like: "see how he is talking as if he is more holy." It is against the backdrop of this blackmail strategy that I usually respond with, "So what? I may actually be holier than you, and you may truly be holier than me, because we are not all holy to the same degree." I say it in more or less a polemical context, to bite the bullet and return to the main issue of advocating for purity.

If context is missing in clip, I'd still expect critics to at least say, "I can grant the theology, but I don't see the piety – without context."
But Gotcha!

NB:
I just asked Gemini too

And while you are at it, stay with the text. The TEXT! Centre the text, and employ other things as complements: systems, systematizers, philosophy, philosophers, illustrations, etc. Let the text be loud. Let it be the uncontested Thing at the centre.
Stay with the Text.

Join us tomorrow at 4:30 PM for our midweek service.

Come expectant and ready to encounter God through worship, prayer, and the teaching of His Word. Invite your family and friends, we look forward to seeing you there!✨🙌🏽

[Gideon Odoma @gideonodoma]

Let's invest dilligent labour into studying and teaching the word. Sometimes, brethren dress their hermeneutical exceptionalism and/or doctrinal incoherence in the garment of MYSTERY. By appealing to mystery, they seek to absolve themselves from the duty of defending their questionable doctrinal positions.

Appeal to MYSTERY – where clarity, where understanding is possible – is a terrible hush-strategy. Historically and expectedly, it implodes, self-destructs, and creates apostates in the process. Seekers, inquirers turn against God quicker, when they are prohibited from responsible doctrinal probes. However, Faith flourishes more when sanctified-curiosity and sincere, rigorous interrogation of our beliefs are rightly seen as worship. Yes, responsible interrogation of scripture, even when it is uncomfortable, is an act of worship.

Read slowly: While the things and ways of God in scripture are beyond logic, they are neither against nor anti logic. They usually proceed further than/from logic. They don't normally head out against logic, properly considered.

Today is a day when fathers are celebrated, but for us, our celebration spans beyond today.

You have truly been a faithful steward over us; hence, a father worthy of double honour.

Thank you sir for your many labours upon our lives. We are incredibly grateful! 🥳🔥

[Agba Designer @UgoPrecious7]

@dayveibeh He answered the question. He then clarified where the real contention lay doctrinally, but that contention was not the original question, hence no burden lay on him to answer.

You are given a chance to watch a Bible event live. Which are you choosing?

[VICTREY™ @VictoryOlaleye]

Everybody not preaching Hypergrace is not automatically legalistic, don’t let anybody whine you.

There’s Hypergrace (False extreme)
Apostolic doctrine (True grace)
and then, Legalism (False extreme).

Hypergrace na the fake grace wey Bible talk about for Jude 1:4 be dat.

Almost everywhere you turn, people have been hurt in the church and many of them are legitimate.

Yet surveying our common experience suggests that most of the responses to hurt in church betray a deeper problem.

May the Church of God live up to her true reputation.
May we be indeed heralders of God's truth and righteousness.

May we not be clouds without water, boasting much but offering very little to fallen humanity and broken society.

May the heathen not regret holding us in high esteem and expecting so much from us.

May our use not be limited to religious decorations and pious games.

May our descriptions in the bible not seem like a lie.

May we be faithful and useful tools in the Hand of the Living God who built us as His Holy Habitation.

May Jesus be revealed clearly by His Body, and may His mighty works continue through His bride

Amen!
