Truthful

Truth remains Truth
if it is Truthful, accurate -- 
no New Age paraphrasing 
for me – that old game, a 
circle whispered from ear
to ear.... The King and His 
James, I will stick with -- 

AI will cause great harm
before it is mastered – as 
Shelley’s Monster, good or
bad, they are our creations,
enamored of our own reflections -- 

For me, women without makeup
are far more appealing.  Nakedness
should remain optional.  Men will
have their locker-room conversations,
seldom transcribed in the real world.

In an instant.!!! In the twinkling of an Eye.' As a thief in the night.' Then There will Be awakening.' Pure panic and flight Then will some stand.' Preaching And sharing with disaster on every Hand.' The cut off will be sudden, Don't be stiffnecked and stubborn.'

If our mouths determine our destinations, so, we are determiners of our own fate...what happens if, when there, we have a change of heart? Do we then determine ourselves out of hell? Only one way trip? If that is so, then, only sometimes our mouths will determine our own destinations. The logic is broken. Hell is eternal. No fallen mortal will spend eternity there. You think you came to earth by being good? Earth is also a place for redemption. Schooling. Opportunity to gain greater wisdom for positive spiritual development. Or further penetration into deeper, darker danker negative consciousness.

About 20 years ago i Spoke with a seasoned pastor..His idea at the time was that God ( did send people to hell.) I said God is there to give is our hearts desires..I see it as if you deny God and Yeshua and the Holy Spirit..Your own mouth will pronounce your/our Destination..) i saw Robert Marshall state Jesus said the same.'

Hi Joe; could be as you say, as Jesus stated. Of course, a twinkle in the eye, according to the solar system, may take billions of years as does a star coming into and out of existence. 2 thousand years have passed, billions have awaited and not seen that twinkle -- I do not believe in that Twinkle as commonly interpreted, nor do I believe an All Loving God, would sentence any of his beloved creatures to an eternity in hell. Impossible. Hell is eternal...but it is for demons and their like. Fear (will not work Long Game) should not be used to bring folks to Christ, in my opinion...only pure love. True, sometimes we need to defend our families and other loved ones. A sad reality. Should not be done with a hateful perspective, nor for vengeance sake. All part of the same Fallen Drama. Blessings my friend. The saga continues.

I totally agree, the real world for me. Physical and spirit interactive, seamlessly in my world. I find it impossible to separate the two. Crackers, to many.

Lots of interesting subjects here. The idol of AI! Compare to simplicity of prayer to the one true God. And locker room conversations were never meant to be revealed and also women’s chatter. My husband also likes the genuine features of a woman. No heavy makeup for me, mostly light foundation to even out my aging face.

I don't even see the wrinkles anymore...less graduated consciousness and more poorer eyesight:)

AI has now begun to overpower men. In the end, it will be as threatening as Mary Shelley's monster- Frankenstein. Truth is harsh, but truth can't remain hidden for ever.

The ego of man his own worst enemy. This has been the plague of history, the flaw in science. Just because we can do something, does not mean we should do it.
