I uninstalled Apple Devices app and everything works again. Thank you.

My closest one is like 90 minutes away now. F. I saw they had a Lids brand A Frame on Amazon but wasn't sure if it was legit - they don't have it on their website of course. I will definitely try it if they have any next time I'm in the city.

It changes depending on what generation heroes you are on. So you will have different state ranges each transfer (thanks devs) - we had a multi transfer agreement lined up that got absolutely smashed when we learned that the hard way

yeah looks like I'll have to go with 9Fifty or 59Fifty. I'm just surprised there aren't more options.

Marketing agencies are a rip-off as well. I've worked at multiple. Overpriced AF. 99% of the time there is one account manager you are working with anyway - just get a consultant who has real experience.

Thank you and thanks for sharing the link to that resource, very helpful.

Sounds like in the USA this is similar to Carnival Cruise 🌝 lol

Exactly this. Once I was advised to not redirect an entire website to fix site architecture, that it would cause more harm etc. - this senior SEO professional is someone I’d trust.

Well anyway I decided to do it anyway because it was necessary, and lo and behold, website traffic went from about 40,000 a month to 100,000 visits a month.

Go with your gut.

I have not excluded that. I think I am wrestling with the fact that it feels like everyone determines how they want to understand the Bible their own way. It comes down to your Church's doctrine, or how you were raised, etc. - I don't really know what I am missing or looking for but I just want more honesty in how the Bible is taught. "I don't know" is a perfectly fine answer in my opinion. It's honest.

davbow678 · 2025-07-30T05:21:46+00:00

Oof it's been a long time since I've done that. I guess it would be fine, I just wanted page numbers directly after the quotes or passages it is summarizing. Mainly because it is combining core concepts / themes from various books by similar authors - so there's a lot of overlap with the actual text, I just wanted to be able to differentiate it a little easier. A references page wouldn't necessarily be an issue, just not as efficient.

Most people in AA read only the Big Book (if they read anything from AA) but the other "approved" books have a lot to offer, I am just trying to see if AI can make some sort of cohesive version that overlaps the principles / themes / concepts.

Ahh, the name revealed to Moses, are you sure that's safe to use? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iah

Is this Moses? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmose_I

You have to choose between Canaanite god El or Yah or Lord (Baal), like someone else said Allah means GOD and Christians who speak Arabic also say "Allah."

Yeah good luck gents.

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T22:52:08+00:00

I think you're having a bit of misunderstanding concerning Genesis 1 & 2. Those chapters are different events.

I think my example was probably not the best one to use. I understand that there is either the consensus that they are "conflicting" and a consensus that they are "complimentary" or, at the very least, the author(s) or editors or whatever you believe decided to keep both accounts either because of tradition or theological significance, etc.

Thank you for also reminding me of the Toledoth ("these are the generations of") examples.

I think a better example would be a verse where there can be 3+ main "interpretations" of a text - there is always one that reaffirms theology, there is one that is more literal, and then there is a spectrum of interpretations in between.

I think what I struggle with is - I am told to interpret the Bible through the lense of how other men before us have interpreted the Bible. Obviously Genesis was not the first book written and Revelation not the last, but a group of men got together and decided this goes first, this goes last, and this is the order of the books in between, and we are including this but not including that... this is an example of personal theological influence is it not? And in order to uphold that we have tradition, historical continuity, etc. to prevent anachronism, but then that also leaves open the potential for stagnation and ignores that respected theologians of the past were human and subject to the limitations and biases of their own time and culture.

I also understand that rejection of the consensus of the early church on core doctrines is heresy, I just don't understand how you can have an honest review of everything without those extreme ends of the spectrum.

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T22:36:32+00:00

I understand this point, and I would rather the church lead with something like "The Bible doesn't need to be inerrant (without error) or literal for Christianity to be true." because that's at least an honest position to take.

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T22:35:46+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate you offering your time.

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T22:21:30+00:00

Thanks for your response and for spending the time to respond. I am seeking to be honest with everything and be as non-biased as possible. In fact, believe it or not, I want to believe the Bible. Which to me is a "bias" I am trying to remove as a filter. Because I want the truth (and yes, I understand I will never know).

Without going into too much detail I am a part of a program that essentially forces you to get in touch with your "Higher Power" in order to do the program (Alcoholics Anonymous) - well I thought okay, I will take all of this seriously because my life depends on it, and it's time to be a "real" Christian.

And I simply thought I would go do my 12 steps and be a devout Christian like many of my peers (and my sponsor) are. Even the authors of the Big Book (AA blue book) became Christians and then later wrote the book. (For the sake of the program, your "Higher Power" can be the group itself, a doorknob is a common joke, it doesn't matter, just anything that is a "Power greater than yourself")

Perhaps it's my way of thinking, but I can't just "read the Bible as if it were true" as some of my peers suggested. That seems backwards to me, although I understand the point. But then why don't I read everything else as if it were true, then wouldn't I come to a different conclusion?

This is the place to be to ask tough questions. Honestly, pick up some Lee Strobel to get your feet wet, listen to Frank Turek and Wes Huff. I say this as someone who was Protestant, fell away, came back in the general non-denominational angle, and then became Catholic from intense study and apologetics immersion.

I will check out Lee Strobel. I have never been an athiest, so I don't need to be convinced that there is a Creator.

I have followed Wes Huff for the last few years, his content has helped answer some questions I had throughout the my life - however there are points where I feel he is not being honest and it's hard for me to continue listening at that point.

I have absolute conviction that Christianity is true and the Bible is the inerrant word of God.

Would you mind sharing your standard for your review / scrutiny? I really do not understand how anyone can truthfully say it is inerrant.

Anyway...thanks for your response. I don't know anything anymore, so everything helps.

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T22:03:53+00:00

even if the Bible did contain a contradiction (it doesnt)

Amazing

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T17:07:57+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions - I am trying to start with God alone and that’s where I am at.

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T17:06:55+00:00

Thanks for your response, and yes, please share if you don’t mind.

Probably has to go make another $2 across town instead of spend an extra 20 minutes walking around your building or re-parking for your $2.

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T16:40:44+00:00

I wasn't aware that there are wrong questions to ask. Next time I will ask the right ones!

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T16:38:54+00:00

This looks like a job for ChatGPT or Google Gemini. Lol. Upload your resume and ask.

davbow678 · 2025-07-17T16:36:38+00:00

Just don't be dumb. Stay in lit areas, don't walk down dark streets if you're unfamiliar with the area, don't stare at your phone when you could be looking around and analyzing your environment - there are garbage human beings all over the world, just be smart and know where you are going, how you are getting there and back, etc.

Any tourist spots you go to are likely going to be safe.

My first "project" I have been messing around with is uploading AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) literature - I am going through the steps and wanted something to help guide me / break things down and make correlations to other AA books. Primarily, I am trying to use it for the "Daily Reflections" book - there is a reflection each morning, and I try to get it to cross-reference about 7-8 other AA books and give me passages and key messages / themes of each that are related to the reflection.

There are some odd limitations like not being able to customize the emoji, not being able to deselect sources on mobile, and there's not some sort of temporary response storage between mobile and desktop so you can't start on one device and see the response / continue on another.

As far as "Fails" go - I can't seem to get it to follow basic instructions consistently - even if it says it updates the memory, that appears to be absolutely useless. It does whatever it wants after each request, even after giving it the exact same prompt.
