    All of that and more was considered in the thought Clete. The target of this idea was the passer efficiency rating which is a four-part metric where interceptions, completions, yards, and touchdowns are all normalized (divided by) pass attempts. As you point out, there are numerous scenarios...

    The so-called "fossil record"

    So confident! Let's see: (The auto-numbering in the code is broken, ignore the numbering, I just quoted the post and broke it up by clicking Enter.) They don't know. "They don't know." They don't know. They don't know. They don't know. Same to you. You gave absolutely no support...

    As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual...

    I brought up the prospect of a "balls-and-strikes" approach to passer efficiency rating in the NFL back before large language model generative A.I. models were a common thing, even before art A.I. and chess A.I. bots maybe, but now that we're here, the NFL should definitely imo put an A.I. bot...

    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    "Jesus" is the Anglicized, Latinized, Hellenized, Hebrew name "Joshua." This is proven in the book of Hebrews where the KJB talks about Joshua the successor of Moses but calls him Jesus instead, because the Hellenized (Greek) version of Joshua is the same as the Greek name of Jesus. The Greek...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    Right. So He's metaphorically talking about the metaphor of the Eucharist in the bread of life discourse in John 6. There were people in John 6 who were struggling with metaphor too, and they all left. Peter then says that he too plus all the Disciples were struggling with metaphor as well...

    You should do this @Right Divider you'd be perfect for this, a retired computer guy is exactly what you'd need to do this. You gotta figure out transformers and tokenization and all the rest, but apparently Hugging Face has open source A.I. model building software, I think they prefer Python so...

    The Devil The Deceiver

    [That] explains why our New Testaments are different. But why are our Old Testaments different? The Apostles used one Old Testament, and it was the Roman Catholic Old Testament (the Greek Septuagint), so why are our Old Testaments different...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    Jesus spends the bread of life discourse saying how people need to eat His flesh and drink His blood. At the Last Supper He says, "This is My body" and "This is My blood".

    The Joys of Catholicism

    The thing I like about podcasts are when the podcaster both writes and acts. Once the podcaster is doing someone else's lines, it's like network news, which is still OK, it's just a different animal. (It's ... more corporate? Not in a terrible way, it doesn't have to be terrible anyway.)...

    Peace be upon you and your household. Really what I meant to say here is that it's the philosophy, or theology of the Apostles, which Jesus taught them, we call them 'disciples' for what reason idk. They were His students. He was their Teacher, as is plain throughout the Gospel accounts, and...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ... These people struggled with a metaphor. Then after Jesus answered them: Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? ... From that...

    Yeah right. And since He has spoken through the prophets, ofc His hermeneutic is true, and this is what all the Apostolic hermeneutic is too.

    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    What do you think, that Paul just cherry picks proof texts? Come on. Be consistent. If you quote an excerpt of a prophecy, aren't you necessarily implying the whole prophecy? You can't just pick and choose, and so Paul is not just picking and choosing either. You're reading your own...

    This is such an important point. In this example we get a Scriptural account of how Peter himself used c. Sola Scriptura to fill in the gaps left in detail by the Lord (similar to how later on we'll see the Bereans use c. Sola Scriptura, to "check on" the Apostle Paul). We see later on Peter...

    Someone should just use Hugging Face and make a generative A.I. natural language model of the current database, then purge the stuff that's not good. You won't lose anything, it will all just be in the model now, it won't store all the posts, but it will store the model, and for TOL users like...
