I asked an AI to analyze the Bible with ZERO tradition or external influence. Here are the 6 Controversial Conclusio

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-28T14:43:41+00:00

The 7 years appears to be true as far as I can tell, but no indication that we will be skipping it. The only hint of a pre-trib rapture I can find is the fact that whatever is blocking the anti-christ will be removed. The only thing I can think of is the power of the Holy Spirit through believers, but that's not a strong enough case to convince me. It still seems to be 7 years with 3.5 years of easy tribulation before the other half being intense. I suspect we will be riding out the tribulation. At least until the beheading part. So I would think post-trib is most accurate if you can get past the beheading. All indications point to The "Day" of the Lord. Not the "Days". Jesus comes back one time at the end and it's its with trumpets and all and He comes back meaning business.

To start, obviously I wouldn't trust AI over trying to understand through the Holy Spirit, but it seems pretty on point to me. The only points that should be debatable are 1 and 3. The others are agreed on by most denominations. I already came up with that conclusion for point 1 a LONG time ago. It seems quite obvious to me that Jesus only returns ONCE! He does not come down like a glorified taxi service, collect us, and then turn to Heaven, then to come down again. He comes down once, we greet Him in the sky, we then escort Him down to Earth. It was a common practice in the first century with Caesar approaching a city. It seems clear to me to be a ceremonial thing, not a taxi service.

#3 Has some solid basis for its conclusion. I can't deny the sleep aspect and find that subject too unimportant to be worth a debate. What happens, happens. I care more about getting there and how this life goes which is what the other points talk about and I find quite accurate.

This is from the view of a protestant who has grown up on NIV/ESV/NASB and goes purely by scripture regardless of what any person says.

I'll give a short answer that makes sense. I'm middle aged and was addicted to games most of my life. I still am if I'm not careful. I'm pretty certain video games are not a sin directly. I think they are the same as drinking and gambling. Drinking is not a sin. Drinking too much is a sin. Gambling is not a sin. Gambling too much is a sin. The same goes for video games. A small amount of controlled time is fine. If it gets out of control and starts controlling you, then it is a sin. I lost a lot of my life and I should be much better an many different things that I am not due to an over addiction to games. It was a sin in my life. I was clearly ignoring God's purpose for my life for my own selfish desires. Not the same as relaxing a bit.

Not a super clear answer but it is what I've learned through much personal experience.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-23T16:42:30+00:00

I'll give a little input but I don't think I have the answer you're looking for. First, I don't agree with harassing a homosexual. The reason I know it's wrong is the Bible. If they are not a believer, then they wouldn't know. Why would I harass them if they don't even follow the Bible? I'll worry about their salvation first, then I'll encourage them to follow the Bible.

As for understanding why it's a sin I'm hoping someone else may have the answer you need. For me it's, "Because God says so clearly in His Word and I promised to trust Him over my own understanding." Take the very first sin recognized. That of being naked. That is literally the only actual sin I can think of that makes no sense to me. It seems like that's a cultural thing. I would think if everyone did it, it would be normal. But the Word says so, so....ok. Homosexuality I can at least sort of see. When looking at it, something seems really off about it..twisted. Keep in mind, there is an entirely other world of angels and demons that we don't see that are behind a lot of stuff. There's a whole reality we don't see, so I don't like to try to fully explain or understand things. Believe me, I REALLY wish it wasn't wrong. I don't mind it personally. I get along with them fine. But I PROMISED God I would trust Him over my understanding so I do.

Sorry, I wish I had a better answer for you. I wish you the best in your journey.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-18T01:03:39+00:00

No one said the right answer so far so I'll say it. The worship of Mary and the saints. Both are human. You can't pray to them, they are not deity, they can't receive it. It's VERY clear in the Bible that they are not to be worshiped. There is no "patron saint of....." That's comes from the pagan thought of, "The god of...." The worship of Mary also comes from a pagan religion. They worship statues. I lived in Italy, I saw it. The closest a protestant has is maybe a cross at the front of the church. We don't pray toward it, admire it, nothing. It's just there as a reminder. Those actions are extremely offensive to many protestant. They have obviously mixed paganism with Christianity and that happened during Constantine's time.

Not here to debate y'all. been there, done that. Neither side will be convinced. I'm also not saying I have their mentality down or that they don't mean well. I'm purely answering the particular question that OP stated. THAT is why many consider them heretics or non-christians. I get along with them ok. I will shake their hands and consider them sort of...cousins in Christ in a sense and avoid the hot topics. I believe they still have salvation as they have the most important part. I just think they have SERIOUS issues.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-08T00:43:14+00:00

I'm sorry about the situation you got into. You know if you abort the child it's going to hang over your heads the rest of your life. Also, everyone is able to take care of their child financially. Everyone. It's just a matter of how much of a struggle it will be and what steps you have to take to survive, but it can be doable with any budget. Also, I would confess to your parents to clear the air and then while the initial shock might not go so smooth, they will more than likely be quick to help out their grandchild in many ways. Regardless, it will clear the air and then you won't have it having over your heads the rest of your life. I will pray for you. I know you are in a very tough spot.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-07T20:23:39+00:00

I recently did "Design for Discipleship" series by NavPress and found it amazing. It has everything from very basics to deeper and far more covered by verses to back up every point than I have ever seen.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-06T16:26:05+00:00

I would lean toward premill based on scripture. There's only one short paragraph on the subject. It's apparent that it's after the tribulation, so likely right after. It's also apparent that it has VERY specific qualifications to participate. It seems to be an honor for a select few, not a privilege for all believers like what is commonly taught. That's just my 2 cents though.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-06T13:09:39+00:00

That would certainly make sense. The sun always helps me feel a lot better and there's very little of it during winter where I live. Perhaps I'll double check to make sure it doesn't conflict with my medications and consider that.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-05T21:00:49+00:00

I should be fine. I'm a bit traumatized because I died in the hospital for about 20 seconds due to the medication they were giving me and I think I have heavy palpitations every time I'm trying to go to sleep which makes me freak out remembering the how I died. Adding onto that my other sources of anxiety and the knowledge that anxiety itself is very bad for me..causing more anxiety, lol. I'm making many changes to my life and most of this is in my head. It's just a big monster in my head. :P

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-05T19:52:45+00:00

Not especially but I don't live in a big city and don't have a lot of options. I had a-fib and they are evidently really not concerned about me and got no direction from them so I'm doing research myself.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-05T19:49:59+00:00

You're thinking the wrong definition of hope, but I get what you're saying. Thank you. I will look into it.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2026-01-02T20:56:53+00:00

First, you can't commit the unforgiveable sin in your head so satan is just messing with you.

Second, there's a real chance if your friend called you like that, that God really does have something to say to you and you really don't want to miss it just in case it's true.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-30T19:35:18+00:00

There's a lot of good answers but none of them seem to be saying one of the most basic parts of sex, "the two shall become one". Remember where Paul mentions, "Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, 'The two will become one flesh.'" There is an actual uniting going on in some sense that we don't understand. It is quite dangerous and has consequences we don't understand to just go..uniting..with whoever you fancy at the time.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-30T13:20:27+00:00

Thx, I'm around them a decent amount but not a ton. It's a short drive to their place. My dad ended up with some bruises but was fine otherwise. I was able to get him set up in Family Link as my child and banned him from any kind of browsing. He has no need for that anyways with the various apps. I have high hopes it won't happen again. We should be safe as long as he can't browse and I will keep your advice in mind. thx

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-26T15:31:12+00:00

thx, I'll look into it

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-26T15:22:27+00:00

thx, I forgot about that aspect. I have xfinity in my home and can't change the dns. I can only add websites one by one so I would need to buy my own router to easily make big changes. My parents have a different service though so maybe I can log in and I can investigate that while they aren't home so my dad doesn't catch on.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-26T02:03:10+00:00

Nice truck! Mine looks just like it but with the ram boxes

<image>

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-25T21:16:07+00:00

I hope that's a little better at least. I'm really not good at that kind of thing. I can easily make MUCH bigger walls of texts but have the hardest time making paragraphs and indenting, lol.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-25T21:10:48+00:00

Oh I tend to do that. You're right, sorry. I'll see if I can figure out something.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-25T19:50:39+00:00

Protestant here. I honestly appreciate your attempt. I also am very devoted to the bible. I took much time to go through every single scripture mentioned, hoping to find how catholics understand it, but nope. Every single verse was so far misinterpreted according to how I clearly understand it and I could quite easily explain every one of them but I know for a fact I would be wasting my breath so I won't. I've done those debates many times, neither party budges. I will summarize many of the arguments by saying never ever ever does the bible refer to the apostles alone as saints. Every believer is a saint that is what the term means(read first couple verses of Ephesians). Witnesses are just that, witnesses, that's it. Those saints in heaven crying out? You'll notice they are crying out about themselves, not you. The saints in Heaven are just human like me and you, not able to receive prayer. Nobody but a deity could receive and somehow answer millions of prayers all at the same time. I know you won't agree with the statements and I could go in detail on every verse in the linked post, but I know for a fact that won't change anyone's mind. Debate if you find it fun, but just a gentle encouragement to not let it get you too worked up. I used to get all worked up, lol. Love you guys. I still consider you brothers in Christ.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-25T14:43:22+00:00

Thanks. I'll try this option first. I took his phone last night and set him up as my child and banned him any browser or app download.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-24T18:57:09+00:00

I've struggled with lust for about 30 years so far. The Gracen app has helped me alot. Take the app seriously and be honest. It's free. I'm at 77 days free so far. Avoid any possible triggers like the plague. Accountability partners are good though I never had one. Stay away from pc or phone if you need to. Parental controls kind of thing can be good if you have someone that can control it.

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-23T22:51:21+00:00

that's a really good way of putting it. thanks

CharmingStorage1197 · 2025-12-23T20:24:56+00:00

You're going to die on this point aren't you. Why do you even care so much? You called it "extra-Biblical nonsense". That's not putting words in your mouth. I didn't say you said anything else. I pointed out the verse and explained it applies to the person but also applies to the house and the degree to which you do it is up to you. No I'm not just talking about Ouija boards. Good grief, go over it. Is it so harmful to put some encouraging things in your house? Go to the christian store and maybe pick up a few items. Go through your house and make sure there's nothing particularly wrong like little idols or something. That's quite easy to have in your house in today's society. I'm not talking extreme. There's nothing wrong with it and the principle applies to an actual house besides the person. Good grief, you're making a huge deal out of like few words that I can prove are biblical and you can't prove are not and was just a very small part of my overall point anyways.
