Stephen Hawking has had the software in his retard mobile upgraded so that it can now supposedly read his mind. Here's what he said in a recent interview

But surely everyone knows that is just what the software said, or was programed to say?

There's no such thing as AI. First of all, Stephen Hawking's computer cannot predict what he's going to say next. Other people write his books and speeches. He's just a vegetable, a puppet.

Exactly. Just as what he said was not said by him, but by software programed by other people!!!!

He's "had" ALS -- a disease that kills within 3 to 4 years -- for 50 years now.

A clear case of misdiagnosis by the socialist British medical system, which doesn't recognize simple-mindedness when it sees it.

Second, AI never will be developed. God is the source of all knowledge and wisdom. All the knowledge man has comes from God.

I often wonder what God's purpose is here, allowing people to "work" on this AI business. Human reproduction is perfectly adequate as it is, and barrenness can be cured by prayer.

Genesis 25:21 And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

Our Beloved Lord is constantly testing our faith in Him. I rejoice in these trials.

James 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.


Yours in Faith,

Stephen Hawking warns artificial intelligence could end mankind

Stephen Hawking: "Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete and would be superseded"

Prof Stephen Hawking, one of Britain's pre-eminent scientists, has said that efforts to create thinking machines pose a threat to our very existence.

He told the BBC:"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."

. . .

Prof Hawking says the primitive forms of artificial intelligence developed so far have already proved very useful, but he fears the consequences of creating something that can match or surpass humans.

Stanley Kubrick's film 2001 and its murderous computer HAL encapsulate many people's fears of how AI could pose a threat to human life.

"It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate," he said.

"Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded."

There's no such thing as AI. First of all, Stephen Hawking's computer cannot predict what he's going to say next. Other people write his books and speeches. He's just a vegetable, a puppet. He's "had" ALS -- a disease that kills within 3 to 4 years -- for 50 years now.

Second, AI never will be developed. God is the source of all knowledge and wisdom. All the knowledge man has comes from God. A computer will never have intelligence of its own unless God gives it intelligence.

Prov 2:6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Is 28:24-26
24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

Dan 2:21b He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Col 2:2-3 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Third, the world will not end in a robot apocalypse. How paranoid can unbelievers be? It will end in fire.

2 Pet 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

I agree. If Jesus wanted her to give birth, He wouldn't have put her into that coma.

[Pim Pendergast]

Six-month-old corpse gives birth!

An Alaskan woman who has had her existence artificially prolonged on "life support" has given birth.

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA — A baby has been born to an Alaska woman in a coma and listed as clinically brain dead for most of the pregnancy.

KTVA reports (http://is.gd/n85V3Z) that baby Faith was delivered by cesarean section Tuesday.

Her mother, Jessie Ayagalria of Bethel, suffered cardiac arrest in January. Doctors discovered she was 12 weeks pregnant.

She was transferred to an Anchorage hospital, where doctors said she had no brain wave activity. However, a neurologist said it was possible for her to carry the baby.

Ayagalria's mother, Shirley Jerry, says family members agreed to try, and had her daughter put on life support.

Jerry says it was amazing to hold her granddaughter, who was born at 35 weeks. But the birth comes with mixed emotions since Ayagalria has returned to hospice care.

Jerry will care for Faith.

It's against nature, like homosexuality. These "medical miracles" can't hold a candle to the Holy Spirit's work.

Re: Christianity In The News

How could anyone make a film that portrayed God, and his representative on earth at the time, Noah, as environmentalists?

God and Noah were intent on destroying the environment. It was supporting he people at that time. These people were sinners. God/Noah saw the environment as the "enabler" of Satan.

God had all kinds of choices. He could have sent a disease that wipped out the population, except for Noah and his family, and left the environment in place. Obviously, He thought the environment had to go.

If the True Story of Noah says anything it says the environment is evil. God destroyed the environment with a flood very quickly. As humans it takes us much longer. We should be looking for ways to destroy the environment faster to save God the work on judgment day.

Re: Christianity In The News

This makes me sick. There's a nudist church in Virginia making a mockery of worship.

SOUTHAMPTON, VA (WWBT) -
About an hour's drive south of Richmond, there's a small congregation that doesn't care about "material" things. They worship the same way we were all brought into this world, naked.

Even in February, when temperatures can average in the 20s, members show up in various forms: some fully clothed, others topless, many still completely nude.

Pastor Allen Parker says it's not about the clothes, or lack thereof. He says it's about baring his soul to Christ and leading his flock down that path of righteousness, no matter what they're wearing.

Every Sunday in the front few rows of White Tail Chapel, you'll find Katie and Robert Church. Katie wasn't a nudist when they first met, but quickly fell in love with both Robert and the resort. They married at White Tail Chapel and say the church has given them a sense of Christian community with none of the pretense of a traditional church.

"Once we were married, and we were here, this whole place became our family," said Katie Church. "I feel like I can turn to anyone in this church, or even in this park, and they will be there to help me."

"People are more open as far as hearing the word of God, and speaking the word of God," agreed Robert Church.

If you think anyone here finds church attendance titillating, you'd be wrong. They're here to find inner peace and Pastor Parker believes that starts with accepting themselves.

"There's not a feeling that you have to be better than one another, physically," Pastor Parker said. "We're humans, we have scars, we have what we have…it's learning to love and accept that."

Coming before God naked was a capital offence in ancient Israel. The Priests even had to wear underwear beneath their robes.

Ex 28:42-43 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach: and they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.

Pastor Allen Parker believes in "baring his soul to Christ and leading his flock down that path of righteousness, no matter what they’re wearing.” But he could do that fully clothed. Everything is naked before God.

Heb 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Re: Christianity In The News

I know it is wrong to laugh, but that fine British newspaper the Daily Mail has now dubbed Paul Flowers the Crystal Methodist.

Disgraced former Co-op Bank boss Rev Paul Flowers has resumed his depraved lifestyle of drugs and rent boys, despite facing fresh scrutiny by police and City regulators.

Although he promised to seek help, the Methodist minister is still using the horse tranquilliser drug ketamine and booking male prostitutes.

I shall continue to pray for him, as instructed by 1 Timothy 2:1-4, even though he is no longer in authority over the Co-Optional Bank.

Re: Christianity In The News

The two-month-old infant was dead by the time it was delivered into the hands of the priest, Fontanka.ru news website said Sunday.

So God didn't want the child baptised. That should tell the parents something about their own so-called church.

Religious sentiment is on the rise of Russia, where 83 percent of the population described themselves as believers as of 2012, according to pollster Levada. In 1991, that figure was just 24 percent.

Note the use of the term "sentiment" rather than Faith. These Russkies are as heathen as they ever were.

Baby Dies After Parents Trade Hospital For Church After Crash

MOSCOW, November 25 (RIA Novosti) – A couple in Russia face jail after their religious zeal compelled them to drive their child, injured in a car crash, to church for an urgent baptism rather than to hospital.

The two-month-old infant was dead by the time it was delivered into the hands of the priest, Fontanka.ru news website said Sunday.

The boy sustained a brain injury in a minor crash in St. Petersburg on Saturday despite being in a child safety seat, the report said.

The worried parents sped him up to the church because “otherwise he would be denied the Kingdom of Heaven,” investigators cited them as saying, Fontanka.ru reported.

The baby seat clearly proves they had no trust in Jesus anyway, so God killed the now retarded baby. Glory!

Re: Christianity In The News

I think this is the sort of thing that Methodists must do. It is a false religion. It would be useful, nevertheless, to pray for this man's soul.

If I am any judge of human spirituality, I believe that Paul Flowers will have already made a contrite admission of his sins and asked the forgiveness of Jesus. There seems little reason therefore to continue with the police action for Paul Flowers will be born again, and the old Paul Flowers no longer exists.

[Attila's Wife]

Re: Christianity In The News

In News from the Septic Tank of Europe:
.....
There needs to be more forgiveness. Why can't this simply be brought to a close and Mr Paul Flowers be forgiven yet again?

The "Rev." Flowers has now been arrested:

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/nov/22/paul-flowers-former-coop-bank-chairman-police-arrest

Paul Flowers, the former chairman of the Co-operative Bank, has been arrested by West Yorkshire police in connection with an investigation into the supply of drugs.


The 63-year-old Methodist minister was arrested late on Thursday evening and taken to a police station in West Yorkshire after he was filmed handing over cash to buy drugs.

I really don't know what to think about this. Can a pastor advise whether or not I should pray for him? I mean, he is a Methodist.

More proof God really hates gays with a passion! Even the communist atheist Russians admit it now.


Russian Journalist Says Chelyabinsk Meteor Strike Was Caused By Gay People



Non-gay person

A Russian TV host warned viewers that the Chelyabinsk meteor strike, which happened back in February, was caused by gay people. Journalist Arkady Mamontov (pictured) said on his program Special Correspondent that the fall of the Chelyabinsk meteorite was punishment against Russia for tolerating LGBT people.

Because when we think of countries that tolerate gay people, Russia is first on our list.

The meteor explosion occurred on February 15 and lit up the morning sky in the city of Chelyabinsk. It resulted in a series of shock waves that damaged thousands of buildings and injured approximately 1,500 civilians.

“This is a warning to us all that we need to preserve our traditions, the family, the traditional love, or not only the Chelyabinsk meteorite will hit us, but something bigger,”

Yay God!

Re: Christianity In The News

Rulers? Plastic tubing? Belts? Leaving fewer marks!!!???

Jesus clearly says that if we do not use ROD on our kids, we hate them. Also disciplinary actions must leave proper marks if we want to take evil away as intended.

Brother Alphonse, I agree with everything you said, but Christian parents who live outside the Bible belt face a special problem. Because of anti-Christian bigotry, there are all kinds of crazy laws that make teachers and doctors report signs of "child abuse." The liberals would like nothing more than to take our children away from us and raise them to be Democrats in foster homes.

I would say that, if it's absolutely necessary to use a plastic hose instead of a rod, then a Christian parent should do so, and can make up the difference by swatting extra hard or increasing the number of reps. Of course, the best solution in these areas is homeschooling and using a good faith healer instead of a pediatrician.

Re: Christianity In The News

Being a Parent is no easy task, and it is harder when all around you criticize God's Word. There will be unfortunate incidents along the way, but we must continue as instructed:

I quote from this site, which as you will see denies God's Word http://www.examiner.com/article/anot...ain-up-a-child Here is the book:

We can see the dangers of being too liberal with your kid. God clearly punished this kid by killing him, because he had too liberal cherry picking parents. Let's just take a look at these anti-Christian discipline methods.

Some of the discipline techniques the Pearls teach include:

Using plastic tubing to beat children, since it hurts a lot but leaves fewer marks to alert authorities
Wearing the plastic tubing around the parent's neck as a constant reminder to obey
"Swatting" babies as young as six months old with instruments such as "a 12-inch willowy branch," thinner plastic tubing or a wooden spoon
"Blanket training" babies by hitting them with an instrument if they try to crawl off a blanket on the floor
Beating older children with rulers, paddles, belts and larger tree branches
"Training" children with pain before they even disobey, in order to teach total obedience
Giving cold water baths, putting children outside in cold weather and withholding meals as discipline
Hosing off children who have potty training accidents
Inflicting punishment until a child is "without breath to complain."

Rulers? Plastic tubing? Belts? Leaving fewer marks!!!???

Jesus clearly says that if we do not use ROD on our kids, we hate them. Also disciplinary actions must leave proper marks if we want to take evil away as intended.

Proverbs 22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Proverbs 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Proverbs 20:30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
