The link drawn to the Tower of Babel's fired brick technology is interesting, but it sounded a lot like John Greco was blaming the result of sin more on technology than on the human heart. AI systems, like bricks, are mechanisms, 'tools', useful for good or evil -- but yes, like the fruit of of the Tree of Knowledge, they burden us with greater responsibility, and can be seen as a path of 'expediency' or 'cheating' to bypass the more proper path of relationship, and in particular, the slower & more methodical relationship with God. Another Biblical analogy is that AI systems are tools of windfall productivity, not so different than the windfall of productivity the Rich Fool experienced in Jesus' parable by the same name. That analog beckons us to carefully consider what it is we are looking to accomplish and do with the resulting windfall of productivity. Are we to primarily enrich & spend on ourselves, or share to benefit & ease the burdens of all?
It's nice to have the audio-book version to engage when doing other low-cognition task that require my eyes. ;-) I encourage you to include the article author credit in the first few lines of the RU-vid description text.
Glad you're enjoying Boundless - The Audiobook! And thank you for your feedback. :) To clarify, are you suggesting putting the author's name in the title of the video, or are you suggesting putting the author's name higher in the description box?
I love the idea of listening to Boundless content! I read a lot of the articles, but today I would prefer listening since I look at the screen all day long for work.
Can you do a episode on the opposite side of this. The person that has a hard time with his spouses sexual past. I know the right answer to forgive how God would forgive us and not hold it against them. But the problem I have is images I don't want that pops in my head and hurts our relationship. Sometimes it can make my mood change quickly. I don't hold it against her but don't know how to handle what I'm going through.

They are not taking authority over men, but rather teaching as women the word of God. Gods word is not restricted to only men Galatians 30:28-29.) The context 2000 years ago was women were seen and not heard. The word and God does not change but the times do.
True, but have you considered that if someone was to ask the deeper question as to why it isn’t a sin, that you’ll have to answer that as well. It isnt an easy question to answer especially from those who have experienced sexual trauma or abuse. Just my two cents.
It’s not ok to masturbate however I believe in the point that we have to address the pain that a person is trying to numb with it so that there’s no need for the habit in the first place.
All good points; not receiving the satisfaction that God gives in Jesus by replacing it with a counterfeit feeling of temporary satisfaction in order to soothe pain, hurt, the flesh, etc. is idolatry.
Yes... there is something innate in women that makes them incapable of leading... it requires muscle and the complex working of the masculine mind... therefore sharing power is also out of the question. The creator intended for women to be eternally subordinate. There's plenty of places where we see this principle including, greco-roman culture and thier household codes, coincidentally every other culture gets this right, and perhaps the muslim world excels in this area. In such cultures women are often found far from the periphery of roles that involve leading people. In the case of dating how can we trust women to be able to choose a good man, he could a conman or something worse which women would not be able to detect intuitively in the same way that men do. It's got nothing to do with superiority. Being eternally assigned a position of power similar to a good monarch does not make men superior. It just means we love women enough to protect them from the power. Men handle this kind of power better.
As always, instead of addressing the specific question, Childers is dodging and equivocating. Why is it that conservative ideologues can't understand that their obsession to strip the humanity and civil rights away from marginalized people is hateful. There is no other way to look at it. So she and others like her would willingly legislate their hatred because of their misinterpretation and misrepresentation of sacred scripture. So, do her Christian beliefs make her unloving? Let me address this question directly. No Ms Childers, your UNCHRISTIAN beliefs do that.
Otherwise, I have learnt alot from this and I'll definitely buy this book. I hope it's available in Kenya. I hope I'll also get a spouse soon. I'm 29 yrs and it's worrying me. Thankyou
There’s no exact formula, unfortunately. The key is to be seeking God and growing in Christian maturity. As you mature, the qualities that are most important in a spouse will become more important to you. Feel free to check out boundless.org/relationships/dating for more insight here. God bless you!
