"if you think fabricating parts of the NT is harmful"
If I recall correctly, it is specifically prohibited by the bible.
- causal 2y agoIt is. And regardless, apologetics concerns absolute truths of the highest order. Marketing any LLM as being an authority on absolute truths has always been a terrible idea, which is why we do not use them instead of doctors and babysitters. Using them as faith guides is no less reckless.
- xigency 2y agoWell, that's a bit problematic when considering the origins of the book, but I think I better dip out of this conversation here and now. If anyone is curious what resources led me to this conclusion, I would recommend reading "Jesus Before the Gospels" by Bart D. Ehrman. He is much better versed on the subject and also has some great talks online.
- svieira 2y agoI'm curious, have you also read "The Case for Christ" by Lee Stroebel?
- DHPersonal 2y agoBart is a scholar, Lee is an apologist. The two aren't even attempting to make the same case nor are they necessarily speaking to the same type of audience.
- xigency 2y agoI won't deny that religion has been beneficial to my life in certain respects, but at the same time, I would be burying my talents if I gave up my rational skeptical side. I'll add it to my reading list for when I need an alternate opinion.
- DHPersonal 2y agoIt is specifically written in and prohibited for one book, the Book of Revelation in the Christian New Testament. The Bible is not univocal and claims made in one book in its collection might not apply to the other books included within its bindings; sometimes the claims even contradict.
