Jeeze and here I am an Electrical Engineer because I thought the next war would have to do with laser beams and advanced electromagnetics. I wish I had studied this stuff. I love convolutional neural networks, theyre by far the most interesting part of AI

Agreed. Here's a fun one: "Jesus never endorsed Democracy - but he certainly knew what it was, after all, the New Testament was written in Greek."

ANN are both the best thing ever and the worst thing ever. The one that amazes me is the most recent use by Google to create a text to speech voice that rivals (their evaluation shows it to be the best in the world - opinions will vary) the most complicated computer voices available. They did this without development in the area of algorithmic computer speech. They also released their code, but not the model. This means that it will only be a few years before all of those companies go out of business.

Nice.
If you are friends with any Christians, have a copy of The Talmud Unmasked ready to lend to them.
If you get a change to bring it up in convo, do.
"I can't believe that the Jewish holy book says that JC is in hell boiling in excrement."
"I have the passage right here. This book was a real eye opener for me. Take it if you want."

Thanks.
I'm learning Greek. I have discovered something most amazing: Translations have been created by people who do not speak, do not truly read Ancient (Koine, in this case) Greek. They are, rather, grammarians, who decode/decipher! My plan is to become fluent, not in producing it in pronunciation, according to whatever authorities there may be, but being fluent in the language itself, intuitively. The reason there's no point learning to pronounce Ancient Greek correctly is literally nobody in the whole world is actually fluent in the language!

Morgoth could not find the fires of creation, with which entropy can be reversed, because Eru kept them within himself.
Hi double space user.
That and he was the incarnation of the eternally existing God, which kind of necessitates that he have perfect knowledge of all world history, as well as the mind of every person. (Both of which he demonstrates. We catch glimpses of this in the gospels.) Yet for some reason YHWH only ever endorses monarchy, even in the old testament. I like how you specifically single out how he never endorses democracy though, I've never tried that.

Thanks!
That's some sneaky disinfo you've got there. Yes there are bad "translations", but the way you phrased that made it sound like there are no good translations. The people on the committees responsible for reputable translations do indeed speak Koine Greek, and yes, it is worth learning if you're interested in this field. Learning modern Greek can be a nice stepping stone, but language changes over time. It's just like in English… Words from the 1600s aren't necessarily used the same as they are today, if at all, and new words have been introduced since then. You need to understand how certain terms and constructions were used in their historical context in order to accurately interpret the author's intent.
I've known/met people fluent enough to actually use it conversationally, what are you talking about? People don't speak Latin as a first language anymore either, does that mean that nobody knows the language fluently? And why are you bringing any of this up in this thread? What does Koine fluency have to do with the Talmud?
