Literal Programmatic Incursion: A Systems Approach to Biblical Creation Literal Programmatic Incursion A Systems Approach to Biblical Creation "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made." - John 1:1,3 A Note on Purpose and Approach The Challenge We Face In our modern era, believers committed to biblical authority often find themselves caught between two unsatisfying extremes: either dismissing scientific discoveries as irrelevant to faith, or compromising clear biblical teachings to accommodate prevailing scientific consensus. Neither path honors both God's revelation in Scripture and His revelation through the natural world. What This Framework Attempts The Literal Programmatic Incursion (LPI) framework represents an honest attempt to address this tension...

Death or Robots: God's Redemptive Strategy Why God Didn't Destroy Humanity or Override Free Will—and How He Chose the Harder, Holier Path of Societal Sanctification When people read the Old Testament and encounter practices like slavery, polygamy, or patriarchy, the immediate reaction is often moral outrage.

And some people can’t handle that. “It’s just robot speech.” That’s the accusation. If I share a carefully structured argument that’s been sharpened by AI — transparent, curated, and aligned with my worldview — I’m accused of laziness, arrogance, or somehow cheating the system. But let’s call this what it is: projection. Because the real issue isn’t the tool — it’s the conclusion. If I’d used AI to affirm materialism, no one would blink. If I posted a slick defense of atheism sourced from GPT, I’d be lauded for “clever synthesis.” But when that same tool — stripped of emotion, bias, or tribal pressure — confirms the coherence of Christian...
